    After, lemme think, 11 years... leaving Dish. Not a brag thread - just info and saying good bye her

    It is amazing that companies don't do more to keep loyal customers. I left DISH and they had so little to do to keep me as a customer. I was a top spender and it would not have taken much to keep my business. Worked out nice for me though.

    Outstanding Dish Customer Service

    It is amazing how subs can have totally different experiences with cs. One of the reasons I dumped DISH was the lousy, incompetent csr's.

    Should I switch to Dish network?

    Not better than cable in Chicago. I have COMCAST and have better choices especially when it comes to local programming. DISH doesn't carry any sub-channels-COMCAST DOES. CLTV-not on DISH,on COMCAST. MLB Net and MLB EI-not on DISH,on COMCAST. And don't even get started with VOD. COMCAST BLOWS...

    Goodbye Charlie... (OFFICIAL I am Leaving DISH Thread)

    I dumped DISH over two years ago and couldn't be happier. That same smug non-caring attitude from several csr's I was dealing with over some issues , was one on the main reasons I left. After the VOOM debacle and losing my favorite HD channel, MONSTERS HD, I'm now hoping that this dispute with...

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    I completely understand your situation and I added in my original post that my situation doesn't apply to those who can't get good OTA. The point I'm trying to make that in a metro area like Chicago with around 11 million in the 6 county area, a huge number of these people could be getting...

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    What I find amazing is the number of people who could get much better HD reception along with all the sub-channels by simply investing in a quality rooftop antena. I live in suburban Chicago and years ago got an excellent rooftop as a back up to the cable/sat services I had. Just as to never...

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    If you and millions of others can't get NFL Football on Sunday, it will be the beginning of the end for DISH as a major player. FOX might be just as much to blame ad DISH(or maybe more) but DISH has more to lose. DirecTV is sitting back licking it's chops.

    Worst company ever...

    You're right that they are the worst of the television providers but not because of the reason you sight.

    How can they be so totally inept??

    The lousy customer service is one of the main reasons I dumped DISH:mad:

    Beware When Upgrading!

    Just curious, maybe some lawyer types can answer. If a MINOR calls up DISH(or Direct for that matter) and orders and has installed a system, can the terms he(or she) agreed to be enforced?

    Cincinnati local channel HD nightmare!

    The lousy, incompetent crs's are one of the main reasons(there were several other issues) that I dumped DISH.

    Comedy Central HD Launches! (not on Dish!)

    Add U-verse to the list that will launch Comedy Central HD along with other hd channels. DISH is the service that continues with "coming soon":p http://www.tvweek.com/news/2009/01/att_adds_mtv_bet_content_to_uv.php

    AT&T U-verse came with ZERO commitment:)

    Nice to see Dish isn't hurting for money

    DISH jerked me around back in Aug when I wanted a second hd dvr. I was a everything package(hd and ss), $137 a month, never-missed-a-payment (or late)customer. They said I couldn't get one unless I gave a 24 month commit. I would only commit to a year because of the DISH reputation of dumping...

    Well it's 2009 - How about a poll of "E"'s credibility?

    I voted far short and voted with my feet by running to U-verse where I now have 39 of my 51 pay movie stations in HD. THILLERMAX HD anyone??

    Why only 1 Showtime in HD

    What a rip-off. With U-verse I have 14 channels HBO HD, 12 MAX HD, 5 SHOTIME HD, 3 MOVIE CHANNELS HD, 4 STARX HD and 1 ENCORE HD.

    Pulled the plug, Dish free

    Good move. The best way to make your displeasure known is to cancel. And believe me, it hurts them. Get this. Yesterday I got a call from DISH. I dumped them back in Aug., when after my first 18 month commitment was up, they refused to give me a second hd dvr unless I gave then a 24 month...

    Another Awsome Screwup

    I dumped DISH for AT&T U-verse and couldn't be happier. Customer service between the two is like night and day. Calling AT&T I always get csr's who speak english and go out of their way to help you out. I even had one tell me I was entitled to an additional cash back after she had taken care of...

    How much longer will you be with Dish?

    Good move. More channels(I'm watching ThrillerMax HD right now). I'm running 4 televisions with 1 hd dvr. The dvr is easier to use than the nice 622 I had. Customer service is outstanding and you can actually understand the csr's you are talking to. By bundling tv, internet, and phone I'm saving...
