    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    I keep my phone on 4G/LTE as preferred just for that reason and to avoid the 5G weak areas

    Dish Protect Question

    It's different in different places. In IL there is no recidivism, no set amount of time you have to keep it, so you can use it and drop it right after the tech leaves.

    Its TEAM SUMMIT week!

    Aww thanks man. Back in the old days, I mean the 80's, I used to hang out at the local Radio Shack and play with the Tandy Computers, writing little programs in Basic. The days peeks and pokes :)

    Its TEAM SUMMIT week!

    I have guys that are mostly around Peoria - a sucking black hole for sales. And they get no leeway from the top down. I end up spending more time with them than other techs just to get something sold so my boss isn't on my and the tech's back.

    Two different techs. The latter may have felt you weren't going to buy anything, cherry-picking, perhaps, so why try although that is self-destructive unless he's a retailer. For In-house and RSP's Sales is a metric and not hitting that metric could result in losing his job. The other guy was...

    Its TEAM SUMMIT week!

    I honestly like the sales. It's not junk they're offering and I had a trainee last month who quit and called me to say he loved the work but hated feeling like he was being forced to sell tuff they didn't need to people/ I asked my guys if they felt that way and some did. You know, people buy...

    Its TEAM SUMMIT week!

    I just hate it when Dish puts this on the techs as a major part of the job and then they get to the house and the CX has already either been offered or in some cases signed up. It was the same in the old days with routers on Dishnet/Hughes jobs. You guys have too many other things to do than...

    At one time, Dish owned Dish One and used them as an outside sales force. They employ mostly college kids and sell other services too. DTV and I had too many ring my bell about the Solar rip-off. They were fine then but since they went back on their own, they've been terrible.

    Been with dish for 12 years - needed faster hardware!

    Not only that but you can have all 3 TV's on and still record 13 more at the same time

    Sounds like the OP has a Hopper 2000 without a Hopper Snap added

    The Salesman was probably from a company called Caliber - formerly Dish One. From the OP, it seems he was legit but Caliber reps nationwide have a history of being complete FOS in a lot of the things they do and say to get people to switch to Dish. YMMV

    I dunno but it'll be interesting to see. Like I said, we're branching into other areas, too, that are more related to Ontech-type work

    I'm curious why you keep saying that when we're still offering it and it's still on the website

    I'd be MORE moved if the CSR's would stop selling Boost when my guys need it to hit office and tech goals. NOTHING more aggravating than being pushed to sell it and then half the customers either already bought it on their sales call or were offered Boost and declined

    Hopper Software Upgrade H274 5/4/204 Lost 'Showtimes' on the Info Screen

    Oh yeah, I forgot about that. The problem with being out of the field is that I’m losing touch with all those little issues and workarounds.

    I never considered that that may get disabled by an update

    New Install, new equipment?

    I would guess that a company that is finding it difficult to attain funding to help them pay off their debt is probably not working on new receivers

    New Install, new equipment?

    None of it will be new. Very very unlikely there are many new receivers anymore
