    Goodbye Dish

    I'm very familiar with customer service systems. In a large company, I could start from scratch and have a call handling system set up in 24 hours. They have a working 800 number. From that a call answering/routing system can quickly be set up. On new hardware if necessary. No excuse for...

    Goodbye Dish

    Not my problem. No excuse for not having people to answer the phone. All hands on deck?

    Goodbye Dish

    I was a long time Dish customer. 1 Hopper and 3 Joeys. I lost satellite reception 3 days ago. I’ve called Dish support 3 times, only to get a recording that they are too busy and to call back later. Not even the option to hold. The web site was not functioning, so no help there. I’ve been...

    Dish Anywhere & Firestick issues

    Dish Anywhere on an Amazon Firestick works well, except for the skip function, which often results in a spinning icon for a minute or so. occasionally, it locks up with the spinning icon forever. My Hopper and the Firestick are both connected to the same home network. I replaced Joeys with...

    Sound Issue

    I've got a Hopper connected to 5.1 audio system. Recently I have encountered Hopper recordings where the sound is low on the center channel, making it difficult to hear dialog clearly. Sound on the other channels is OK. This only happens very occasionally on recordings. The same shows downloaded...

    why won't Dish fix their idiotic guide issues?

    I was spoiled by Tivo, which did not have these guide problems. Sadly, Tivo had other problems...like a stable business model.

    New Free Voice Remote

    I already had the original remote, which worked just fine. No need for a second "voice remote" that didn't work with voice... Rather than waste money sending out gimick remotes, I'd prefer it if Dish invested elsewhere, like a modern user interface, accurate guide contents, or a guide search...

    It's a shame that Dish wasted money sending them out and promoting them.

    Recieved free voice remote

    I got my free remote a while back. I could never get it to work, so I tossed it out. The Alexa skill works well to change channels, which is enough for me. I have an old Logitech remote that turns on my TV, receiver and audio system with one key, and lets me easily switch to Roku or DVD when...

    Free voice remote upgrade for my Hopper 3!

    Got me free remote today. Set it up and voice doesn't work. Says 'listening' but does nothing. Put it in the drawer in case I lose a remote. Wasted my time and Dish's money....
