Does dish still do this? Turn your programming off for a set amount of time without canceling you account. I think it use to cost like $5 a month to do it? I'm going into a situation for a while that I don't need dish but don't want to cancel it or pay $124 a month for it to sit there. I'm not under any contracts.

Yes. Its called Dish Pause.

Pause DISH is still available.

Call or chat Customer Service (you were going to have to do it anyway).

You can pause up to 6 months at $5 a month, but if you are under commitment it is paused too and extends by however long you pause for.

Hi, just a little update. As of the 5-17-13 business changes, you can now pause your account for up to 9 months in any 12 month rolling period. Thank you!
