DISH Named #1 Nationally in "Overall Customer Satisfaction" by J.D. Power for Four Straight Years
September 23, 2021

- DISH has earned more J.D. Power Awards for customer satisfaction with TV service nationally than any other brand
- Ranked #1 in six study factors, including "Performance and Reliability" and "Features and Functionality" among nationally ranked brands

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Sept. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, DISH was named #1 in Overall Customer Satisfaction with TV Service by J.D. Power nationally for the fourth year in a row in the J.D. Power 2021 U.S. Residential Television Service Provider Satisfaction Study. DISH is the most awarded brand nationally for customer satisfaction with TV service by J.D. Power.

We are dedicated to going above and beyond to serve our customers, and we're proud to offer solutions and support that customers trust. Earning this J.D. Power award for a fourth year in a row is a testament to our team's service to DISH customers and the hard work we deliver every day to exceed our customers' expectations," said Erik Carlson, DISH chief executive officer. "I want to thank all of our team members and customers for making us number one for the fourth straight year."

"Our brand promise is built around 'Tuned in to You,' and focuses on listening to our customers, being advocates on their behalf and delivering the best service, technology and value in the market," said Brian Neylon, group president, DISH TV. "I want to give an extra-special thanks to all of our in-home service technicians, our customer service, sales and loyalty agents, and all the team members who support them. Keeping customers top of mind in everything we do is a core principle of ours and this recognition helps show our efforts."

In addition to earning #1 in "Overall Customer Satisfaction," DISH ranked #1 in six study factors, including "Performance and Reliability," "Features and Functionality," "Customer Service," "Cost of Service," "Billing and Payment" and "Communications and Promotions" among nationally ranked brands.

DISH continues to innovate with its award-winning Hopper whole-home DVR platform with features like the incorporation of Google Assistant technology into the DISH voice remote, Google Nest integration and built-in apps, including Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, YouTube Kids, Gallery, DISHscapes and DraftKings. DISH also offers the best live and streaming programming, providing more than 100,000 on-demand titles in addition to the recently enhanced DISH Anywhere app. DISH Anywhere provides customers streaming access to premium live, on-demand and recorded content included with their service while on the go, as well as the ability to cast to TVs and display content via picture-in-picture so they never miss a minute of their favorite content.

DISH has also introduced customer service features like "MyTech," an online appointment tool available via the MyDISH app, where customers receive personalized information about their service appointment, including the picture, name and location of their DISH technician. The company also expanded its home entertainment installation services available to DISH customers, including whole-home wireless networking installation and optimization, TV mounting, security system installation, cameras and smart-home devices, and more.

Congratulations to dish. The biggest issue is still how to train their customer service to answer technical difficulties on the phone. They are super nice and polite. Yet, you can tell they (not all) read from manual when you have a question. Oh well, at least somebody answers the phone.

This is great and validates my posts about Dish being the best provider and worth what is, maybe, a higher cost. It makes me dizzy to read about all of the different combinations of OTT and streaming service providers it takes to get what you get from Dish for not much, if any, of a monthly savings. In addition, having to know which app has the program you're looking for and the constantly changing inputs and logging out of one app to log into another, makes my head spin.

None of the streaming or OTT options has anything that even comes close to the Hopper 3 and the whole home experience you get from Dish. Also, might sound trivial, the Dish remote is superior to the others, like Spectrum and Direct TV, that I have seen.

I know there are a lot of complaints about the guide, most of which I have personally not experienced or don't care about, but the Dish guide still makes more sense and is much more functional than the others I have seen. And, if the guide is the biggest complaint that ain't too bad!

I would never make the claim that Dish is perfect or that there is nothing that needs to be improved but I will say again, that I am a satisfied Dish customer. But also, I really appreciate the acumen of so many posters to this forum and I am certain that they have led to the level of satisfaction that I profess to enjoy, so thank you for that. However, I wish there were more that would also offer commendation where it is deserved.

If Dish can fix the 4PIP Bar Mode (PIP Multi-view) feature, that would go a REALLY long way to putting up with all the other smaller bugs. Still, Dish is our preferred provider and we are still mostly a linear TV family, especially dear old mom who could NEVER get the hang of the FireTV/Roku mini remotes with too FEW buttons that are not intuitive for her to control and make it difficult to be precise with her tremors.

But best of all is the ability to DVR and and still have TV to watch when the internet goes out, and this has happened a few times, the last outage lasted almost 2 full days, and we have reliable ISP service. At some point we may have to move on, but the H3 is the real thing that kept us from leaving Dish and linear TV.

Until we can save our own personal recordings of content--saved at home, "locally", under the protection of Fair Use--from streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, etc., Dish is still the better option because, ONCE AGAIN, Netflix lost digital rights to a series I was watching before I could finish them, but I did happen to have most of the recordings of the final Series (British TV term) sitting on my Dish DVR as back-up for when I reached that point. I still had to go to YouTube for 2 episodes I did not have at all--and with AWFUL top and bottom cut off of the YouTube postings--but it brought home the still powerful usefulness of being able to save recordings at home for later viewing for as long as we wish.

At some point I may have to leave linear TV most likely because of costs, but until I have to, I will stay with Dish IF they continue to provide good service, keep providing good TV channels, and good technology equipment like the H3.

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

Well, I didn't immediately think of broadcast, where there are all kinds of digital "subchannels"- I remember back when digital broadcast began that supposedly the 6mhz channel would likely support just 1 HD program and that the added subchannels would likely have to remain SD. I don't watch enough broadcast to know. Are there a lot of the subchannels in SD-only, and how do they do that, like are they in 4:3 or some kind of low-res widescreen?

New more efficient encoders. I think there's around 60 channels/sub channels now in the Tulsa dma. 480 widescreen for most of the sub channels, but some have 2 HD channels and a couple of SD sub channels while others have 1 HD and 5 or more SD sub channels. If they moved to mp4 or hevc encoding they could do higher bitrates for SD or more HD or even 4K in that 6Mhz channel. That could render some early digital tvs unable to tune though as they may not have the codecs for that. Considering 4K tvs have been on sale for years, I think it would be a very small minority of TVs with the problem. I'd rather see that happen and keep ATSC 1 than continue the move to a DRM enforced ATSC 3 world.

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....

Many of us have used a universal LNBF mount (or get creative with L brackets and plumbers tape - perforated metal strapping). Use a few inches of aluminum tube (or a piece of 1x2" lumber) to extend the support arm (replacing the plastic mount used by DirecTV and Dish) to place the LNBF throat opening at the correct distance from the reflector, the correct height and at the correct angle. Nothing magical... simply place the new linear LNBF in the center at the same distance, height and angle as the current combo.

Love this guy's channel. Looks like Walmart has thrown in the towel when it comes to conventional car batteries.

I bought a new AGM battery from Walmart about a year ago, it is already needing replacing. I thought about just buying a regular battery but from what I've read, that might not be a smart move. Might check my Forscan program and see if I can change the battery type from AGM.

When you need a battery, you need a battery.

If you can wait, new technologies are on the not-too-distant horizon.

You're probably doing something wrong if you're only getting a year out of an AGM battery. Heat and infrequent charging both significantly reduce lifetime.

Huh? How can I be doing something wrong.....I took out the original battery, that was 6 yrs old and put in a new one.....kinda hard to screw that up. I figure it was just a bad battery....it happens.


The biggest takeaway I got from this video was the Walmart batteries only had something like 85% of battery life left even though they were brand NEW. The ones from O'Reilly all tested 100% of life left.

He sounds like he's trying to sell me a pocket hose.

I just had to replace a car battery this week and thought I'd look into LiFePo4. Amazon has plenty of them, but all have top posts and only one 'also' has side connections (Group 75).Then I read that they're really lousy in the cold. So, an AGM, but again, almost nothing with side terminals instead of top. In researching that, I read that most mfrs in recent years have dropped side terminals and gone back to the old top posts, which is surprising to me since those are more corrosion-prone, cause the battery to need more space and are generally more hazardous. Finally I just threw up my hands and bought a regular lead-acid at Sam's Club. They had a Group 75 "Duracell" with side terminals only. It was virtually the only such battery with side posts on their shelves

Had a Die Hard in my folks cellar for over 6 years. Pulled it out, slapped it on a charger for a day. Put it in my 'Cuda and drove it around for a week of my vacation. Next year, the same. But my dad kept it topped off for me.It was a mid 80's battery in early 1990.

Flooded acid batteries like a float voltage of around 13.5-13.8 voltage.
AGM needs a float of 14.2 volts. So if you slap an AGM in where a flooded was. It never gets a full charge.
"Why do they die so fast?" Question answered. There are folks who sell voltage regulators for alternators that are designed to boost float voltage for AGM batteries.
The other way around? Flooded will gas-off a little at 14.2 volts. But seems to tolerate it pretty good.

Lithium car/bike/atv batteries. After 3 batteries in my Harley. The OEM flooded and two AGM's (before the 14.2 volt float requirement to let them live was learned). I bought a lithium for it. 4 year, no gripe warranty after having it tested by an approved store.
The thing started like Thor himself sent a bolt from the sky. Except......try to start it around freezing? Nope. Needed a heating pad.
And I usually like to park it around events in the evening with the parking light on. Looks cool like that.
We could traipse around for a few hours no worries. Hop on, fire it up, and go putt around.
Lithium? A Dakota Lithium at least. The BMS shuts it right down if it discharges below <something>.
Come back. Parking lights off. Won't start. And you know the rest. But it lasted 6 years. A lot better than 'new every two'. And the fact that powersports batteries are warranted for six, maybe nine months. Ludicrous.

I called Noco. Asked all of the right questions. Great warranty. Save some bucks ordering directly, faster service that the wally world alternative.
They addressed (or claimed over the phone) that the shut down was addressed. Sure. The BMS keeps it form being damaged. But if it is shut down because it does become low. Shut down any load (key on, parking or headlights left on) for 10-15 minutes and you get a second try to start your rig. Not a bad thing if it really works. Right?!

Exide, Interstate? Be very afraid. They ain't what they used to be. In Florida my '70 Cutlass had an Interstate (early 90') that lasted 6 years until it dropped its plates at an intersection and boiled over. In Florida, mind you. The last Interstate.....done in 2. Guys down there would suck out the acid and put water in shortly before the warranty ran out. Make it to the auto parts, get them tested. And get a new one pro rated. No more pro rating.
You can't beat an Odyssey. Napa, AC Deco (the better ones). Yup.
The mom and pop Car Quest only sells Die Hard. For a reason, the old man says. So they convinced that a Die HArd Platinum was the hot ticket for me. l will see. Stand by!

You can't cut Mr. Project Farm down. He does great tests of all sorts of things. Not sponsored and pressured to slap a little sugar on his comparisons and reviews. Compared to the Brits and Aussies with their constant overzealous and same sounding (Dave from EEVblog) rant. I like P-Farm a lot. Of course I like AvE (Boltr) too.
Reminds me to beware when wearing shorts around the garage vice.


Opinions may vary.

And the Walmart ones mostly had very little warranty.
The days of the 84-month warranty appear long gone, regardless of brand or where you acquired it. Warranties tend to be shorter, with much greater dependence on quick prorating.

The big problem for lead-acid batteries (whether flooded or AGM) is that the US no longer produces lead (the last smelter closed in 2013) and must import it.

Recycling covers a good chunk of the need (~70%), but it isn't free.

The title was to catch everyone's eye lol! But it is a thought I've been having as I dev a Roku app for a client. You see many MAAANY years ago I got really interested in cable TV channels and even chatted with a regional carrier, Insight about what it took to get a channel number. It was surprisingly easy although prohibitively expensive.



You could petition, reserve a high channel number, they monitored performance and if they liked you, you'd get lower channel number overtime and cut into ad overlays.



Roku has a similar setup. Make an app, if it has a strong, original linear component you could get channel assignment on The Roku Channel.



As mixed as my feelings are on the current media landscape, I can't help but feel a little excited interest when I scope out the apps in the Roku store.

All of those services have FAST Channels. FAST is a linear online broadcast stndrd. You notice how their linear channels all have some overlap? They are gettting paid for every second those streams are up without really having to do their own accounting. Best part is they don't even facilitate any of the stream bandwidth. Over glorified app stores on some android hardware. No reason NOT to stay in the game.
harshness
It is largely because of the standard Roku remote that channel numbers are a distant memory on the streaming side of things. Because their competitors followed suit only reinforces that they were right.

Linear TV's death is a direct result of DVRs giving you what you wanted when you wanted it; why go back?

FAST is uniquely popular as a way of saving money. It isn't so much about consumption as passing time.
