We offer a service called DISH Pause that is only $5 per month and puts your account on hold. You can keep your services on pause for up to 6 months in a rolling 12 month period. If you send me a PM with your phone or account number I can assist you with getting this set up. Thanks!
I have plenty of time off I can use, which I usually take in 2-3 week chunks twice a year. However, I couldn't fathom putting my account on pause as I would miss all my timers I have set for those 2-3 weeks.
