Anyone else experience this?
Luckily, for some reason I've never had any major problems with my 522 and accompanying switches, wires, dish, etc...
I started getting drop outs and a reduction in signal strength on satellite 105, and the check switch test is showing an error. So I called DishNetwork to schedule a repair, and found out that for a repair on THEIR EQUIPMENT, for THEIR SERVICE, it's going to cost me $99! It's not like I caused the problem, but it's going to come out of my pocket for me to fix their problem.
Now, the service rep did say that for $5.99 I can get repair coverage, then the service call would only cost $29.99. Oh, much better - an additional $70 a year so that I can replace their defective equipment.
Unfortunately, we just moved and when we had them reinstall the dish to our new address, we got locked into a 2 year agreement.
Looks like there's 18 months to go before I can look for other options....
Thanks for letting me vent.
