    Dish Treatment

    I look forward to hearing how your story unfolds. I have filed a complaint with Dish Network and with the FTC. If you or anyone else experienced Dish taking the money you paid for a 622 receiver and applying it to current or future bills for programming services, you are also encouraged to...

    CBC on Dish?

    I really miss Canadian TV too! Didn't I see that on the Canadian satellites they get US locals. I did write to Dish many times about offering CBC (even as a premium pack) and they came up with all this cross-border stuff back then. Yet, the Canadian satellites carry US locals for them!

    Dish Treatment

    Hello eric - thank's for the heads up. Now that kinda deal may make me think twice. Would you recommend dealing with DirectTV directly or through a dealer? Seems like the dealer gets a lot better respect than a customer. Thank again.

    Dish & 622 Install set for the 16th

    Sorry but I do not see you getting a 622 before April. Yesterday they were dishing out dates 30 days from now due to 'availability'

    Thank's dr0doom I will take a look - I like a lot of HD channels though! If you don't mind me asking... if you are into (or have) cable why do you hang-out here? (This isn't like an Amway meeting is it? Am I going to be recruited for Digital basic cable?) LOL Thank's again, dude.

    Fully agree with the block pixelation on Dish - but DirectTV is just as bad. I confess that I have not looked at cable in the past six years and perhaps I should, but from what I understand they don't have the amount of channels in HD that dish has - all the Voom stuff and others. At present I...

    Dish Treatment

    Some people spend their money on drugs or exotic vacations I spend mine on Audio Video stuff. I didn't think twice about dumping the SonyXBR950 (70" LCD) which was less than a year old and a totally amazing set (I would recommend it even today!). That cost me about $7,000 plus $1,000 for the...

    I swear glennh73 I do not use autopay! I always pay my bill online. Even the CSR today confirmed I am not on autopay... he told me that if there is any credit available on the day that the bills were ready for the following month, they automatically take whatever credit is there and then bill...

    Dish Treatment

    Thank's Kenny911 - I love TV and I love HD even more. I got one 921 at first and loved it. I waited months for it to arrive. Even back then Dish were full of delivery promises and guaranteed availability - total BS even the dealers told me they didn't have any at the warehouse. Anyway, when...

    Dish Treatment

    Thank's for your experiences... I can almost certainly guarantee you that they will not call you, but they will not ship anything to you either... they do not have any to ship! Further, when you reviewed your account you will see that the money is no longer there for the purchase because they...

    Dish treats former customers like dirt.

    Read my post about Dish and you'll see they are getting worse!

    Dish Treatment

    I received this response on another forum. It will show you that you could also get burned by Dish Network. QUOTE I just read your detailed message regarding the VIP622 you ordered and the poor way Dish handled your payments for monthly service and also for leasing of the new 622. It made me...

    Dish Treatment

    Thank you sprintcarcrazy - it's obvious you have had your share of grief with their misinformation and business practices. Seems like you got a good deal. Today when they told me their free install would support six receivers I had a good idea it was BS as the switches are $200 each and each one...

    Dish Treatment

    Thank you for your post and the warm welcome! Sadly after I posted I called Dish pretending to be a new customer. I asked them what deal I could get. I was told I would get a free install for all six receivers. One receiver would be $299 and the remaining five would cost me $650 each. The CSR...

    I posted in another forum because I have been an avid reader of BOTH forum for a long time now. Both IMHO are leaders in the satellite field for a wealth of knowledge and information. I know there are people that only read one of the forums and so I posted in both. The more people who see it...

    Would you still be with them if they treated you like that?

    Dish Treatment

    I have bought all the equipment myself. Nothing free from them at all. I prefer their channel line-up for HD. All I want is what is fair and honest for all. All of this happened about an hour ago - I don't think you have given me enough time to get another satellite provider. I have seen the...

    Dish Treatment

    :mad: I spent thousands of dollars buying my 921 receivers when they first came out - six of them in all and I believe at the time, they were $1,300 each and I waited forever to get them. The hard drives failed one by one and so I decided to get new 922's but someone advised holding off for...
