Well Im shocked...

[Dgenx321]

I have both D and E.

I have D strictly for Sunday Ticket. So Im moving to a new house on the other side of town and I called Dish and they set the move up at no cost. I just got off the phone with Direct and they want $150.

Ive never heard of such a thing?? What do I have to do, threaten to cancel to get it for free?

How long have you had Directv?

How long have you had Directv? The movers connection is free, but I think there is a one year wait from sign up.

ke4est, I see we think alike!

 

[Dgenx321]

Im about 11 months into my contract...

 

[KE4EST]

Yep, that is why the charge to move.

 

[Dgenx321]

I guess since Im so close to Sunday Ticket starting i need to go up the chain a little...

 

[Dgenx321]

I still think the charge is a cheap move on D's part. Ive never had cable or E even come close to charging. When I was moving back form college E moved me for free after 6 months..

Try calling again and explain the situation. And remember, you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

Both DIRECTV and DISH require a minimum programming level and "other factors" for a mover special. If you don't meet that requirement, they don't move you for free.

Offer available once in any 12 month period for qualifying customers only. Qualifications based on tenure, package level, payment history and other factors.

*Fee may apply for select customers based on type of account and programming subscription.

I worked for Dish for three years. Never once did I see them charge for a move.

 

[Dgenx321]

Oh I know. I was a Dish Tech for three years and if the custy was nice Id go the extra mile. If they were a prick I gave them what was required, but nothing more..

Out of curiosity, why do you have Dish at all? Unless you like the Superstation pack, G4, or Epix, I can't see why anyone would want Dish Network. Not trying to start a battle, just curious...

Was your tenure recent, or in days of yore?
