Cancellation Question

[kpeercy]

My one year commitment ends in early January. I know that Dish will send you boxes to send your receivers and remotes back. Also, I know they want the LNB. My question is this...Will my installer return and take the dish down, etc. (for a fee of course) or am I stuck doing that myself?

You can use the $29 service call and they'll show up to take it away.

I don't know what DISH's policy is but, in my opinion, if they want it, they can come and take it down for free. If they want you to pay for it, in the words of Ron White, "I don't think so scooter."

But they don't want the Dish back, so if you want to take it down, you can call Dish for a $29 service call or someone else to do it, or just leave it up.

Why wouldn't they want it back? Is it that cheap or just not re-usable?

Free advertising. Most people (not here) are too stupid to notice the LNB missing ... plus it save a future installer the "install" if a new resident to the home wants it activated.

Nice attitude but if you don't return it you will be charged for it so you pay either way.

It's relatively simple to take down the dish. It's just a few bolts that can be easily removed with a pair of pliers and/or a wrench. Leave the mounting plate on if it's attached to your roof. Anywhere else, you can take the plate off, just patch the holes with some caulk.

also, the size of the dish constitutes a larger shipping fee for Dish.

You say that you had a one year commitment? Are you leasing?

If I am not mistaken, with a lease you can cancel anytime, but the one year commitment allows you to keep the gear after cancellation. What program are you on?

 

[BFG]

He has DHP, the lease plan that existed before february, that had a commitment and included lifetime warranty, but also has a lease on the first receiver

Thanks for the clarification BFG.

Hi all,

I have to admit...I cancelled my dish DHP this past month and went back to comcast. I had to have local HD and comcast now offers it. I do miss my PVR. But I now have a dish 6000 & 510 sitting around doing nothing. I am planning on selling the 6000 on ebay, once I get off my ass and post it. But I will continue to be a satellite member, if though I am a dare I say it again, cable-user! Anybody interested in a 6000? no charges, clean and 1-year old?

The dish itself is that cheap. Especially if you factor in the advertising as someone else mentioned.
