Do not use Dish. Worst service EVER! I have a hole in my wall. I have an issue they have no idea how to fix. I can't even watch Dish without issues. We will be canceling. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. THEY DON'T CARE IF YOUR SERVICE WORKS. I GET TRANSFERRED 5 TIMES EVERY TIME I CALL. ISSUE IS STILL THERE. WORST SERVICE EVER.

I started having problem with my DVR about a week ago. It was showing recording and it was not recording and the whole system would randomly update date at all different times of the day. The tech who came was wonderful. I was told I could transfer my recordings but I am now told I cannot which was quite the collection and things I cannot get again.

Monthly cost they advertise Showtime for to All other (new) customers! Rip Off! I never assumed I had to call & insist on being charged the appropriate going market rate for the same service as all newbie customers pay! I read it accidentally when checking bills & service options online whenfiguring out how to save some money for... Read More
