Im not happy about the recent drop of Disney and ESPNEWS HD, the $17 fee for an extra 722, and still not having HD networks, despite Direct TV having them here. A new roommate is moving in who already has a contract with Direct TV, so I want to get rid of Dish. But I know they can hit you pretty hard if you quit early.

With them going back on things like Disney HD, is there any way I can get out of my contract WITHOUT having to pay an arm and a leg? Im not being cheap, I just hate how Dish has been lately, and I don't want them to profit one more cent from me. I have been thinking about dropping them for a little while, and the new roommate is a perfect time to do it.

i quit dish last month and had 5 months left on my contract. i quit via online chat which i highly recommend to you as you can save the transcript that way. when all was said and done i paid the remainder of the months bill, $42 termination fee and $15 to send my 722 back to them. was a very easy process for me when i was expecting the worse from past experiences with dish.

This can also happen if you answers are authoritative or can't be improved upon.

IT isn't DISH you have to worry about when you cancel , it is DIRECTV.

They will monetarily rape you violently when you cancel. I was told one figure $240.00 and canceled. Then I was charged $420.00 on my credit card. Complained to the retention people about what I was told would be the cancel fee and that I got charged the wrong figure. He said you are right ,you did get charged to much , it was supposed to be $380.00 instead. So I only got $40.00 back on my charge , two months later. Be warned DIRECTV doesn't have over 59k complaints and an F rating at the BBB for nothing.
