    Hot receiver !!

    I have a Vip211k with external hard drive. It's been about 10 months old since I had it. These days it's getting real too hot just for an hour use. I fear it might burn out my cables behind. Any ideas on how to keep it not so hot ??

    The worst customer service I have ever experienced.

    At some point the CSR might have felt he is helpless in resolving the issue. He should have transferred to the next level so that Dish would not lose a customer. If level 1 is not helpful, then escalate to level 2 or higher ups to see what they can do to make the customer happy with a different...
