Dish Contract

[briansanders007]

Has anyone ever been able to get out of a dish contract? I have been a customer a year+ but got a super dish upgrade that recommitted for a year. I have about 9mos left on that. The problem is that I have accepted a job opportunity in another country. What are my options since they won't have dish where I'm going. (London) At this point I think downgrading is stupid because I wont even be able to use the dish.

Your best bet is to talk to dish and see if they have special cases

You should be able to "Pause" your account.

How does the pause work?

You pay $5/month fee to seasonal disconnect but the contract states that you MUST keep AT60+locals for a year or you must pay the $240 cancellation fee.

Best advice still is talk to DISH they will make the final decesion, if you don't like the first answer contact ceo@echostar.com.

you should call them up first and make sure you do have a contract. i wish i did that earlier. i was under the impression i was under a year contract for the 811. i called up four months early then when my contract was supposed to be up to get the exact date and they told me i was under no contract. i canceled the next day. i am now enjoying a working hddvr and paying about half as what i was and get more channels and more hd.

yeah for post number 1000.

Im sure he did

no, i went to cable. i don't want to become a new customer with directv until the new mpeg4 receivers come out. remember, you can only be a new customer once. i currently have the scientific atlantic 8300 and it performs like a charm.

If I could leave dish I'd like to go to VOOM, ahhhh, the dreaming ends here I guess.
