    bad install, Dish wants money for repair.

    I didn't place my inquiry in a forum as a hoax. I simply didn't know if I was responsible for paying a tech to fix my installation since my wife signed the work approval papers without viewing the job performed. Dish came out for free, fixed it and gave me a free month of service. The case has...

    any reason to choose directv over dish? better service? more knowledgable installers? all i see down here in louisiana is triple LNB DirecTV dishes because they're the ones who had our locals first. dish lost a lot of customers to directv because of that, but i stuck with them because they're...

    bad install, Dish wants money for repair.

    About a month ago, i returned to dish network. i was not home when they installed it (my wife was) and the DNSC installer mounted my dish on a basketball goal. so now every time my sons score in basketball, I'll know because my TV goes out for a few seconds. i figured i could deal with that...

    Court Orders Dish to Drop ALL Distant Networks

    this must be why all of my waivers got denied.. I'm reading everywhere that Directv and Dish are only different in pricing. Directv, however, has local channels for my area.
