    Date change for Super Dish Locals?

    Hello, Can anyone tell me around the exact day that the dish signal will change for people who view their local networks on Super Dish 121? We received an email from retail services to stop putting in super dishes effective May 5th. However, I am assuming the change isn't for a few weeks...

    Anyone else get dropped as a subcontractor?

    update: So far we have received 2-3 emails from 3rd party DNSC manager, State DNSC manager, and DNSRecon (payment support) all about clarification on if we would still get referral trouble calls from our own retail sales, and also issue with nonpayment of DNSC labor, and Ra parts. We asked them...

    Anyone else get dropped as a subcontractor?

    chadzx11, are you a person that works for a subcontractor?? I was a little confused by reading your response. I really appreciate the feedback though. Our business is a direct subcontractor, all of our techs work for us, have company vehicles and get paid over time. They don't pay for their...

    Anyone else get dropped as a subcontractor?

    Our office after 4 years of being a subcontractor, received a call from the state DNSC office that they are eliminating sub's due to not enough dnsc corporate jobs versus the corporate staff they carry. So, he basically said most or all sub's would be eliminated because their guys come first...

    My Story: Left Dish after 7+ years.....

    I am sorry you had that experience with Dish, but, I hope your aware that any analog service through off air antennae or cable analog channels, for what I understand , will be no longer allowed by 2008... they have been able to extend this because I think orginally it was suppose to be 2006...

    Fox News Channel

    I was just reading the comment back about (not giving Dish a penny more) and I wanted to point out that Dish was kind enough to give you a viewing of Fox News on the top 60, which I wasn't aware of, as I sell Dish and have Dish at home. I have always known and always sold Fox News in top 120...

    It just got to be too much, cancelled Dish

    WOW, What a hot topic this is! I strongly agree with NR2D's comments about cable vs. dish or any other satellite provider. I am also a current Dish customer and work for a Directv and DishNetwork retailer. I did have cable about 6 years ago, and I can't believe people don't bring up the...

    Questions on New Dish'n'it up offer / not HD

    If you decide to stay with Dish, ask for a 625 not 522, its a newer technology. Also people have been telling me and its in the fine print of Dish It up contracts that this has to be connected to landline phone jack or you'll pay 4.99 fee, also a 5.99 dvr fee, and also possibly another 5-6...
