    I love Dish but can no longer justify it.

    From someone that has been in this position recently, I can say that we are extremely happy with YTTV via Fire TV Sticks. Sure I miss the autohop, but man the savings make up for it big time. YTTV just added the Hallmark channels and now checks all of the boxes for my family. If you’re with...

    Cancellation Fees

    I haven’t been under contract in many years. I’ve been a loyal Dish sub for 14+ years and have been extremely pleased in the innovation and remote features of the hardware. As most have indicated, the upcoming $5 increase toward the middle of the month, coupled with access to decent internet...

    Nexstar Media Group threatens largest local station blackout in TV history, according to DISH

    But neither is Dish. That’s the point, Dish’s relevance isn’t what it used to be either. Disputes to this degree could be difficult if long lasting. To your point, this may be a tipping point for a large group of subs to go to a streaming service, as these channels are often available there...

    Nexstar Media Group threatens largest local station blackout in TV history, according to DISH

    I was told today that they would not offer antennas in my area, as they’ve determined signal wasn’t strong enough. I’m not sure what algorithm they’re using, but it’s broken. Given the size of this blackout, if it persists for very long, it’s going to be a big blow to Dish with its quickly...

    So will Dish be doing free antenna installs due to this? I will be losing the local ABC affiliate for my DMA. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DISH retention offers

    After a few attempts and weeks in between requests, Dish Corporate generously applied that $40/mo credit to my account for 12 months and was told to call back in a year to get them re-applied. I’m now back to a price point that makes sense for my family and will remain a Dish sub for at least...

    DISH retention offers

    I think it’s the entire industry that’s out of touch. I reviewed Directv’s pricing for both their satellite and streaming service and was shocked at how expensive it was, particularly in the second year of the agreement. Each household is different when it comes to value generated by the...

    So my email to corporate customer service resulted in a pretty immediate phone call. Unfortunately, the only offer that was given was the new customer promotion ($15/off), which requires a new 2-year commitment. I politely said thanks but no thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I did, even sent an email to Executive Customer Service (executivecustomerservice@dish.com). I’ve received these loyalty offers in the past, maybe I’ve reached my limit? FWIW, the Office of the President was of no help either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
