    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...

    Hi Scott, thanks for your honest feedback, I don't mean to pick on anyone, just was a little heated at first! I am glad to see other's think the same thing though about how DishNetwork treats their retailers etc....

    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...

    Do local Dishnetwork dealers honor the dishn it up deal?

    Another option you have is calling any local retailers and asking them if they are also subcontractors (meaning they do corporate work that is assigned to them by corporate office in their state) if they are they can call the state dispatching office and request your work order if you have a...

    DISH1000 Not Required?

    comments on CSR's for DishNetwork I have been reading on here different threads of people needing HD upgrades and being told a Super Dish and Dish 500 would be okay. Starting today 2-1-06, any new or existing customer that wants MPEG 4 programming (Dish 1000); your locals in HD when they come...

    Just tried ordering 622 product

    We are a DishNetwork Retailer and a DNS subcontractor, we tried ordering with Chicago Echosphere office and they say there is a software issue with 622's and they won't release any for 14-21 days. We also had an existing customer (not our org. customer) call into corporate customer service...

    needing advice on getting a bad retailer out!

    We also posted this on general satellite forum. We have 6 dealers for DishNetwork alone in our town, one whose sales, ethics, installs, and manner is appalling! We have tried working with executive resolutions, DNS in our state, our Rep for Dish, etc... nothing is working, customers come to us...

    advice on turning in bad retailers

    We have someone in our town who's already lost his Directv license, but is still carrying his DishNetwork license, he's very dishonest in his advertising and in person. I won' t even go into his installs, but, he's managed to get a low voltage license... We have tried emailing executive...

    Installers had trouble installing :(

    I Don't Know If Anyone Thought Of This, But There Is A Difference Between Rg 59 Cable And Rg 6, If You Can See A Piece Of It (from The Wall Or In Utility Room) It Will Say It On There, We Shouldn't/can't Use Rg59 On Any Installs Of Satellite Tv, It Still Works For Some Cable Companies And...

    Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network off Dish due to contract dispute

    I Can Honestly Say I Am A Female And Like Channels Like Tlc, Lifetime, Hallmark, But One Thing I Really Like It That Dishnetwork Won't Cave Into Most Of The Price Demands Out There. We Need To Look At It That Way Because Our Price For The Top 60 Could Be 50.00 Instead Of 31.99 (i Understand That...

    Do we have to re-sign with former dealer?

    Residuals Are A Sensitve Thing With Dishnetwork, If You Can Prove The Retailer You First Went Through Is Not In Business Anymore, Then You Can Go To Any Retailer, You Have To Check This By (customers- 1-888-233-3474) Activations Number, Might Be Faster. If They Say Your First Retailer Isn't...

    Losing customer over $50 bucks

    There Are Some Major Differences With The Dvrs Between Directv And Dishnetwork. Dishnetwork Has A 625 That Is One Box That Will Run 2 Tvs And Record On Both. You Pay 4.99 Dvr Fee But No 2nd Tv Cost. (dvr Fee Is Going Up Feb. 1st To 5.99, Same As Dtv. Directv's Dvr Will Only Run One Tv But You...

    OK all electronics stores SUCK

    If I Could Recommend Something, Depending On The Size Of The Town Or City That You Live In, Sometimes Going Into A Computer Place That Focuses On One On One, You Might Pay 10-40 Dollars More, But You Are Talking To A Computer Tech, And You Will Get The Treatment You Deserve And Most Important...

    Dish Network full of lies...weekend home

    After Reading What You Went Through, I Feel Really Bad For How Dishnetwork Treated You, We Sell Both Directv And Dishnetwork. There Are Only A Few Receiver Types Within Both Companies That Have To Be On Phone Lines To Work Or Ones That Will Be Charged A Fee If They Are Not; Dish; 322, 522/625...

    I was asked to call "Receiver Auditing"

    For The Person Stone Phillips 420, I Think One Residential Account Can Only Have Up To Four Leased Receivers And Two Owned Receivers; Total Of 6, After That They Will Audit You Because They Feel You Are More Commercial. Directv I Think Is Also The Same Because We Had One Of The State Reps When...
