Does Dish really install on weekends?

[nwflyboy]

I'm walking through the Dish website, looking at options, and when I get to the page where you select an Installation Date/Time, I'm surprised to see that both saturdays and sundays are selectable. Do they really do installations on saturdays and sundays?

How was Mary faster than me?!

Edit: and ICE?!

Mary is correct though

Holidays, too. Last year Dish did our "Dish Mover" on July 4.

My Mom just had a Dish'n It Up done last Saturday.

Cool. That should certainly make this easier (imagine that - a company that figures lots of people might not be able to hang out at home for a few hours on a weekday, and provides options to work around that - how refreshing).

Thanks for the speedy answers.

Guess that's what happens when it takes you 2 minutes to answer someones question. Believe me... this WILL be on your review.

They wanted to schedule an appt at my dad's house for Christmas Day one time!

I worked Thanksgiving again this year, but I'll be off Christmas just because it falls on a Sunday

 

[papalittle]

I will work every day except Christmas.

they don't do evenings though (at least not when I have tried). That seems to be the trade off.

I have had Dish arrive at my house at 8pm (they called and asked if they could do it then instead of in the morning). Probably depends on what the local office is doing.

If you schedule an appointment on a holiday for a service person to be at your house, shame on you.

tech do not like installs or upgrades on Thanksgiving or Christmas just saying poor taste find another day

 

[dendavis]

I've had them install on Sundays twice, had the choice of morning or afternoon.

(Working on Christmas or Thanksgiving) "grounding?, we don't need no stinking grounding)

 

[hudgreen]

I did two service calls on thanksgiving
In my case it was my option to
I was well compensated and off in time for my family get-together
My boss will not make me work on Sunday but I have been known to in the past

I am a tech and DIsh works 365 days of the year. If someone schedules an appointment on a weekend or a holiday then someone will got. If you have the mind and hear to think to yourslef why would i want them to come on a holiday then we obvisouly will. But take in mind if you schedule on a holiday that tech will be upset for working that day and just expect a really bad day with that tech just saying
