    Gave Equipment Back To Dealer, Dish Keeps Calling Anyway

    Get that receiver back in your hands and send back to Dish! Your local provider clearly has not done that. Show the receipt to your local store. Could be a violation of Federal Laws. Maybe they would not want that to happen! Good Luck!

    Boys and girls, I'm pretty darn good at accents. One of the nicest guys that I worked with at the Med Group Pharmacy was from the Carolina's. Most of the others were from Texas. I happen to be Scandinavian and Native American. To put an end to this post... I have discontinued my Dish...

    Dear dahenny, I just needed the basic service and no need to call tech support. Seemed to be a simple request. Guess there is some angst from some members. Sorry,my fault. My typing skills are very poor and do not even think about trying the on-line chat. At this point, I really don't care...

    Agree to 24 more months and get 3 months of HBO STARZ?

    Be sure to charge up your phone! It's going to take a while. Bit longer if your call is routed to India. About 3 seconds delay.

    KAB You are correct. There was not much of a communication. I normally purchase all my equipment and install myself. I did not expect anything free. Never have with Dish. Got the last equipment from Sears. This time I'll get from Scott. I have a 1000.2 on the way and will order a receiver...

    When you call to "down grade" your service after the "free" premium. The charge is at least 5 bucks. Kind of sort of free. Good deal for them if you keep it. Five Bucks if you discontinue.

    A Failure to communicate.

    The person I spoke with lived in India. And I believed that due to the delay in our phone call and told that by the consumer representative. Then the conversation got faster and more expensive to keep Dish services. Not a problem nowadays. Lots of services out there even in rural North Dakota...

    :hatsoff: We have a new set of TVs with widescreen and HD. Our local stations meet our needs for programming. All digital all of the time. Was wanting to get a similar upgrade from our Dish Network service. We had been customers for about a decade or so. When I called the Dish phone number for...

    Has anyone used a pizza box dish on 2.4G WiFi?

    Great information everybody and thanks for the awesome links! Have been a bit busy with the harvest lately (tis the season) but hope to get a break soon. That will give me some time to try out some of your ideas. I did see a similar small dish set up by a college student aimed right at the med...

    Where to buy new receiver?

    I buy a lot of stuff on eBay. Satellite equipment is not one of them! Buying on eBay is a lot like flipping a coin and hoping it comes up heads. You may get lucky. Or you may not. In our case, the bride was not lucky. Wan'a buy a receiver that has a bill of 63.00 before it can be activated...

    Where to buy new receiver?

    Go to the Dish Store (.net). Don't bother with all the want'abees on the internet. Not worth your time. Straight answers. If it can be done, they can do it or know someone who can. There is a reason why they are highly recommended by all on this forum!
