    dish quality control shows up at my house..

    Where I live a locked privacy fence requires the utility meter reader to call on cell phone to our house 5-10 minutes before hand just to make sure we are home to let them get into the back yard to read the meter, it's been working great for years. No complaints from either side, them or us...

    Trees a Problem 4 Dish 500

    For my uncle's house on my property behind me, the posibility for a Dish 500 is not possible because I can line up 119 but can't get 110 because of a tree, and there are a lot of trees. If I use two 300 dishes, one where it is right now sucessfully picking up 119 and use another dish 300 maybe...

    Audit Department HELL!

    "Fact of business, the customer is NOT always right. The trick is not to piss the customer off while you're telling them they're wrong. Granted, it's not always possible. The customer is always right was a slogan of the 80's and 90's, it doesn't really apply in business today" This still...

    Problem I don't know what to do about!!!!!!

    Thanks guys. I told him what I wanted to do was to call Dish and tell them he wasn't getting a signal and he told me that was normal that the CS told him that was normal when trying to go through trees several months ago so he just resigned to pay both for Dish and cable. I'm furious about that...

    Audit Department HELL!

    Here is what I did........... 2005 I moved from SE Tx to SE La and I guess that set off flags. Throughout the remainder of 2005 I got shut off 4 times. Five receivers shut off, my 83 year old uncle there and my wife there calling me at times on my cell phone to tell me it is shut off. No...

    Phone line charge? Avoidable?

    Two months ago my next door neighbor ordered Dish with a dual tuner and a single tuner. I told him he had to connect a telephone line and he said the rep he talked to and the installer didn't tell him about keeping it hooked up. He said he wasn't going to do it or pay it. He's a stubborn old...

    Switching between Dish and Direct

    I'm a Life Health Ins Agent by trade and saw a client today that I didn't originally have reason to doubt what he said until he told me something that I didn't think could happen. Hopefully someone on this forum knows more than I do about this and knows that it either could or couldn't happen...

    New Problem

    OK......I'm not in the DBS business but I've help neighbors install, actually I did most of the technical work because I'd done it before, their Dish and DirecTV systems but I've run upon something I'm not sure about. How do you know that the LNB is alright. I'm talking about a Dish 300, I've...

    Here's a question.........I own three receivers, a 322,4900, and a 1000..........I have the maintanance option on my account and I have problems with the 4900. Will Dish send me a new receiver and if they do will it be mine or theirs? I called yesterday and was on hold for 20 minutes and didn't...

    (OTA+Amplifier)+Dish500&300+Diplexors

    I looked and didn't find information with the amplifier added to the equation. If you were going to add an amplifier close to the UHF/VHF antenna, would you install it to where if fed through the switch and would you have to have it coming on the 61.5 or 110/119 sat feed or will the amp...

    Is this legal?

    It's not about affording a second home....it's Dish Network at one point allowing a receiver for a RV with no problem and now they have shifted their view point. Can't make up their mind, or in other words, change their rules to fit their playing field. When you sign up and tell them you have a...

    Is this legal?

    Well now for what it's worth, I think that Dish must have changed their rules about this. They turned off one of my receivers, actually turned off all of them, I have/had five. When I called to have them turned back on, they ask about one receiver and since it is the one used in a RV, I was told...

    residential account with 6 recievers wants to add 7th?

    I got a 322 about 6 months ago and added it to a 6 year existing annual account. The CS told me the dual tuner 322 counted as 1 receiver and not two. My annual bill hasn't changed in the past 6 months, so it might count as 2 tuners on a 6 tuner account but there is only charge for 1 tuner.

    Don't believe anything they say

    When E* ran the promotion for the Dish 500 to be installed 'at no cost to me' about 2 years ago, I noticed a $99 charge on my bill. I pay annually. They wouldn't correct it the first CS I talked to, I ask to speak to her supervisor, she said they wouldn't have installed it 'at no cost to me' and...

    Local Channel Question.....Hope For An Answer.....Dish CS Not Helpful

    Well after doing a search, thinking I'd find the answer to my question, here is my question. Since 96 I've been with E* and local stations in SE Texas made it impossible to get any local stations since the xmtrs are less than 25 or 30 miles away. Here is my problem. In the next 2 or 3 weeks I'll...

    Replacing Blue Access Cards

    Received info for replacing access cards in today's mail. I've read other posts of the same thing happening in the past but my question is why? My normal inquisitive nature says something is up, that Charlie is up to something. Is Dish to be believed that just normal operations replacing 'old...

    New Dish 322 Problem not found in forums???

    I've been reading these forums for quite some time and never had a reason to post up until now so here goes, and by the way I am a happy camper with Dish Network and have no intention of switching to DirectTV. I've been with Dish Network since late 1997 with a 4000/1000 combination until last...
