Stop payment, make complaint to FCC and FTC, don't know how that could cause one to go broke. Most people are painfully ignorant on the law and companies like DISH prey on that. The only thing worse than an ignorant consumer is an ignorant consumer that thinks they aren't. Breech of contract...

I question the legality of that clause and if I were in a contract with them, I'd challenge. When you subscribe to DISH, you are in a contract for their service, but what that clause says is that they degrade the service (or even eliminate it, that could be called "a change of service") and you...

Dish dropped CBS in my area last october, still doesn't carry CBS.That's right, almost three months without the number one network. DISH runs a propaganda loop on the CBS space that says the same thing over and over- the stations are greedy, DISH is trying to keep costs down, blah, blah. Here...

That's the problem in keeping DISH- they don't have programming that I want that I can't get elsewhere for free, or better. For example, DISH offers CW in standard def only, meaning when I watch "Supernatural", it looks terrible. I can stream it for free in high definition if I want. Two and...

I am quite grown up. I have taken my money and walked away from DISH, got a TIVO premiere, got networks, HULU plus and Neflix, my bill will be $35 a month. I really could care less if DISH wants ala carte or not, why should it matter? I am a consumer, researched my options and don't see a reason...

I always thought the best solution was a heated dish. I had one once and it worked well and we get heavy wet snow ("sierra cement"). I have also had some luck with Collinite 845 car wax. One thing you have to consider before buying that product in the video is its ability to hold up to UV light...

Why don't you grow up and learn something about business? I have backed what I have said. I'll try to make real simple for you: DISH is a business-they make money off people who subscribe to their business. Now, if customer base feels that their product is low quality and/or a bad value, members...

Despite losing 11,000 subscribers last quarter, profits are up. Dish profits up but subscribers dip - Entertainment News, TV News, Media - Variety So, has anyone seen a reduction in rates? My point here is that DISH is not playing hard for the benefit of the consumer, they just want a bigger...

In your example, you think $.90 a month is too much, yet ESPN takes in about $4 a month (!) from a channel, many never watch. Why is it that I can't have CBS, but I am forced to subsidize this overpriced channel? If CBS wants an extra $.60 a month, I'll pay it. Hell, take away the ESPN (and...

You really don't get it, do you? For my area, CBS comes on 2.0 and 2.1. The 2.0 is from DISH, yes, it is from DISH, MPEG4 in all its glory. The 2.1 is off the antenna- yes, I have an antenna, a big big antenna on my roof. On the channel guide, I see the channel 2's, then the channel 4's and so...

Not really. We can't set up to record any shows as it shows the same "Call your station" message for every hour block. The only way we can record is if we catch the show live and hit the record button. All shows recorded will be titled "Call your CBS station now!" in the recorded show guide...

DISH dropped my local (Reno, NV) CBS station. Station claims that they agreed to let DISH carry them for the same rate they did in last contract, but I guess DISH wants a price cut. DISH claims the station is greedy and wants double the cost. Station has a written offer to keep current plan...

This is the worst pvr box I have ever used and I have used some bad ones like the moxi. This box will not let me watch something live while something is being recorded. I have never ever had a box that didn't allow this. If I am recording ONE program, one F*$&ing program and want to watch...

We just got this box and it will not let us watch something live while recording something! Is this fixable? Even out 1st gen SD DISH pvr from 2001 let us do this, but this p.o.s box will not! It is like recording with a VCR! The tech person said that we can watch something live if something...

I was told no charge

The rep I talked to said that I can't cancel. He also said I will get a module in 3 days via UPS.

Mt old direct pr had a ota tuner so I could pick up a few stations in HD that Direct only sat delivered in poor SD. I just got a DISH 722 yesterday and it doesn't have ota. WHen I talked to the people at DISH I repeatedly asked if i signed with them, would the box have a tuner that I could...

Direct offered me a HDTV tivo for $350 if I came back (that is all the rebates and credits included) three weeks ago. DISH offered me a 942 for $749. I am now with direct and my tivo works great. My 501 had to be disconnected and reconnected every couple of weeks.

DISH called us back the other day, wife answered. It had been about two weeks since they did the long hard sell when we asked to cancel. Well, they asked my wife why we cancelled. She told them it was none of their business and not to call back. Hopefully, we won't hear from them again.

I hear that Direct is offering exisiting customers a HDTV PVR for $299 plus a $100 credit, and maybe some other goodies as well. That doesn't sound too bad.

Dish won't match price match. If you want a cheap hdtv pvr, you can get a deal with Direct that, with programming credits, will run you around $350. DIAH offered me the 942 for $749. That's why I dumped them.If more people followed my lead, then DISH might be more inclined to actually offer the...

" Still does the Picture Quality look noticabley different with Dish?" I just switched from Dish to Direct last week. SD pic quality is similar with both, fair to bad. With local networks, DISH, at least in my case, looked slightly better, though overall, both are closer to a worn out vhs than...

"But what deal did you really get? I would love to trade in my 811 and 510 for 942, but would still like to lease it and not come up with some $700." I was never offered any deal. Also, I never swore at any csr until I was in the 30th minute of a hard sell. All I wanted was for them to cancel...

I was starting to feel that I was cursed. If we tried to leave Dish, bad things would happen. When we got VOOM, it couldn't pull in local hdtv and the machine kept locking up. It took months to get our "money back guarantee". We then tried Charter. They had an offer that, on paper, could pull...

Actually, I joined sometime ago another a different name, dclark, but when my old pc crashed, I lost my password. I wasn't able to retrieve it as I have a different isp, so getting a password mailed to a dead email won't work. I still have read posts from time to time mainly to help me decide...
