DISH Tops DIRECTV and Cable in Customer Satisfaction in 2012 American Customer Satisfaction Index

DISH Continues Its Winning Streak, Now Beating Comcast, Time Warner and Charter for the Twelfth Consecutive Year

ENGLEWOOD, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 05/15/12 -- The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) has ranked DISH (NASDAQ: DISH) first among the nation's largest satellite and cable providers in the key measures of customer experience, including overall value, customer satisfaction and customer loyalty for 2012.

Released today, this year's survey found DISH beat competing satellite TV provider DIRECTV in overall customer satisfaction, and for the twelfth year running, DISH has surpassed Comcast, Time Warner and Charter in that key criterion. DISH also led the cable and satellite industry in call center satisfaction and, for the second consecutive year, in web site satisfaction.

"Customer satisfaction has been a big focus for DISH," said Bernie Han, chief operating officer at DISH. "We're pleased to see that our efforts to deliver a best-in-class service experience are being recognized by our customers, but we know that we have a lot more room to improve."

The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) is a national economic indicator of customer evaluations of the quality of products and services available to household consumers in the United States. The national index is updated each quarter and month with new measures for different sectors of the economy. The overall ACSI score factors in scores from more than 225 companies in 47 industries and from government agencies over the previous four quarters. The Index was founded at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business and is produced by ACSI LLC. ACSI can be found on the web at The American Customer Satisfaction Index.

Just read the thread now going about Comcast actually adding commercials if you skip, and Direct TV apparently not allowing you to skip certain commercials. That is an indication of why Dish is ahead at this point in satisfaction.....

It would be interesting to see whether DISH did better or DIRECTV declined.

I'm betting that affordability played a fairly huge part in the scoring as DIRECTV has recently blown past a $90 ARPU that ranks above several of the cable providers for TV service.

I *HATE* the new DISH websites.

It is interesting to know if one declined or one improved. (Or both)
As for the website, I now agree with you. I thought I liked it but not so much now.

As you can see from my sig, I haven't had to call Dish tech support since joining the service in December 2010. When I upped from just WPIX and WWOR to the entire Superstation package, the programming page showed them individually at $2 each, but Dish Answers on Facebook resolved that for me immediately, and when I bought the Sling Adapter last July, a DIRT team member helped me to get the rebate for that. I've been on the phone with tech support as a customer of DirecTV, Time Warner, and Comcast, and would be on hold for anywhere between 15 and 45 minutes. So I can see why Dish is ahead of those companies in customer satisfaction.

I have both Dish & DTV & like both services. I do prefer to watch live TV on Dish though. I have "yesterday's technology" with 2 ViP722k's(both with Logitech Revues & Sling Adapters attached to them) & 1 ViP211k. It took from 2009 till March of this year for me to get Dish,that includes sitting on a ViP722k for a year until I could get the money together to cut down the trees keeping me from getting LOS for Dish(both eastern & western arc). The DIRT team helped me out a lot making sure that my receivers could be activated & calmed my nerves when I found out that one of my ViP722k's didn't have the smart card in the slot for it & that the smart card was built in. I've had a positive outcome with my time with Dish.

I'm getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
