    Well if it's Galaxy1 that just means another installer came out....

    Dish Rated as Worst Company to Work For by Employees

    This holiday policy looks to be pretty new. So now Dish will just force the RSP's to do the work, with no extra pay.

    Does dish have to be grounded?

    Then why did you let him leave without doing it? IF it is so important to you to have it done? No you just call and whine to someone else. I think you just like making posts.

    Does dish have to be grounded?

    This is nothing more than one of those customers that thinks he knows the installers job better than the installer. Then he wants things done a certain way, but does not have the never to say something to the insaller. SO he goes behind the guys back and complains.

    Does dish have to be grounded?

    I think he works retail only. Probably not on the QAS hit list yet.

    Does dish have to be grounded?

    That is the very argument that I got from an electrician one time. He would not allow me to ground the system.

    Does dish have to be grounded?

    Why does it seem like we are getting consumer posts in the Installer zone? As far a grounding yes it's required. You probably will never have an issue with the system because of it. I have seen far more systems have problems because they are grounded , than because they were not. There are...

    Dish Seen In DirecTV’s Orbit

    Well not in my area. Maybe they do as an hourly tech for in house employee's, those are not around my area. All I can say is I know alot of Ex Dish techs that are now Dirctv techs. Far less B.S. miromanagment to deal with. Dishes routing system is a joke. I know a retailer that is local that is...

    Dish Seen In DirecTV’s Orbit

    As others have said. Dish is the worst company in the world to work for. They burn through tech's at such a rate that in a few years there will be no one left to work for them. If these companies merge and Dish takes over, every tech that did Directv will be gone in short order. Dishes policy's...

    mast sizes

    All Dish masts are 1 5/8". Only time they ever used 2" was for the old Superdish 121 & 105.

    to dish techs and contractors

    I am sure thi will get moved to the installer zone. Anyway, that is the way Dish wants it. They don't want to give an increase they want to give you a decrease. They are going to change the pay structure soon anyway, I can garantee that it will work out to a decrease in pay. Don't get too...

    DISH/direcTV DVR differences?

    As far as normal DVR operation there is not much difference. 6 sec skip back instead of 10. 30 second slide forward instead of a jump, but I think there is a way to change that. Honestly the biggest thing for me is the channels. Still learning new channel numbers and they just are not laid out...

    Are Dish Employees too Scared of Reprisal to Take the Internal Survey?

    Yes they are most def. to scared to answer the survey truthfully. Like others have said including an employee ID certainly means they know what you answered. With seeing the way managers treat people I am sure they will look at everyone of those answers. And actions will be taken against thoses...

    Talk Me Off the Ledge

    I was a 12 year Dish customer and used to work for them. I made the switch a few months ago myself. I wanted HD on all my TV's and DVR. For me the HR34 is one heck of a unit. Yes it takes a little getting used to the differences from the Dish Dual Tuners but it's not that bad. Learning where all...

    Dish Network CEO says label as America’s worst company to work for is “ridiculous”

    Oh shops have organized before. The shop was closed and all techs were let go.

    Dish Network CEO says label as America’s worst company to work for is “ridiculous”

    He does not need a survey. All he has to do is go and look on the internet boards. There is nothing good said about working for this company anywhere. The problems have been talked about to death. 1. Scheduling of jobs for techs. These drop in jobs are B.S. No customer expects a tech to be at...

    Certainly you can make 50K but you are really working as much as a job and a half or more to do it.

    Dish Rated as Worst Company to Work For by Employees

    Direct will only do service work on Christmas, thanks giving and New Years. The other holidays they will do work but they don't push customers to have work done on that day. I know for a fact that Dish CSR's will tell a customer that they are booked for 2 weeks and the only appointment they have...

    Dish Rated as Worst Company to Work For by Employees

    I bet if you were to poll more of the Dish employees the score would have been lower. Having worked for Dish, I don't understand how any person that has never wored for the company can defend it. As you have no clue how bad it is.

    Help with Dish Service

    Sounds like the apartment has a contract with a company to provide Dish equipment. They have it setup for single tuner units by the sounds of it.
