Dish Network faces severe customer dissatisfaction primarily driven by persistent technical equipment failures, particularly signal loss and freezing issues. Customer service quality is a major complaint with reports of rude representatives, excessive wait times, and unresolved issues. Channel disputes (HBO, Cinemax, CBS) and unreliable installation/service appointments compound customer frustration, leading many long-term customers to threaten cancellation.

Sand ford which is a hour away and not sure if he can make it by 4 so I call and talk to two supervisors the last one being joe and

they both really rude said well we can’t do anything about it but we can give you a free month of the movie channel like this happens all the dam time I asked him if he could call and get about her tech he said it’s the hub department job to do that I said well call them or I will call them he didn’t even hesitate to say well they won’t do any thing about it gave me three option to either take the credit or reschedule or drop the service but

unprofessional & shady company I have ever dealt with, first I was intentionally mislead into thinking I was getting internet when I signed a consent for installation (big mistake) I paid 216 or $219 for 40 -42 days of basic tv & then when I realized I wasn't getting internet included, switched back to directv & was then told I have a $400-450 early termination fee, unless I sign back up for. "their" service!

A joke, don't do it!

technical case #CO379350 tv s still having program pictures freezing and scrambled where you can not see anything. both tvs hooked to JOY boxes have this problem. the one in family room where the hopper is has no problem the signals from the hopper to the joy boxes is not working properly.

3 technicians and still no better. I was given the technical case number CO379350 to use for existing problems. we need an updated system or new hopper. I understand you have a problem with some of them. this needs fixed now and no more try this or that

About half of the channels show a channel loss message. I worked with technical for 30 minutes one night to no avail. I called technical support again and was told that i needed a technician to come to the house. A meeting was set for 4-24-19 between 10 & 12. I gave them my cell phone number to contact me because no one would be home to answer the house phone. I drove 1 hour from work to be at the house for the meeting and no one showed up or called.

What must I do to resolve this problem of ineptness on your part? If I had screwed up my bill like you have your service, I would have to pay. Since I am only getting 1/2 of what I am billed for, please cut my bill correspondingly. I look forward to hearing the excuse for what has transpired..

6 phone calls to try and get return equipment boxes. Still no boxes and the last call I was told that boxes could only be sent to the account address which happens to be a cabin in the woods with no mail service.

The account is in my since passed father in law’s name. They were eager to charge for the non received boxes. hmmm. I’m sending the equipment back in my box, on my dime registered mail and hope for the best.

I will never use dishnetwork and will tell anyone who listens how difficult they make it to get their “old equipment” returned. I’m sure they will send my deceased father in law to collections.... good luck.

Been in hospital for two months checked paperwork and dish has been charging me for 6months for HBO. Said since package deal no credit but do not watch other channels just hbo but had to take them because of package deal for HBO to watch my shows.

Also asked for another extension due to not working only a few days this month. i asked to extend my payment till 15 of May. Been with dish for over 12 years in Florida but I guess long time customers are not important anymore So will start looking for new service June 1 since they broke contract and they are not giving any extra time for emergencies except one week.

I attempted to watch the UGA Spring game on the SEC network (404-01) as shown on the channel guide on Dish. Instead of football I was watching UGA and Tennessee play girls softball. The message in the bottom right corner stated the football game was available on the SEC alternate channel (404-02, 404-03, 404-04) I checked all of these and only saw the Dish Network advertised with music in the background.

I called Dish and the customer service representative told me it was on channel 408 and attempted to install this on my account. When this was unsuccessful he told me it was blocked for my local area but could not tell me why it was not on the SEC network as advertised or the alternate channels as shown on the SEC network.

His asked if I had internet at home and suggested I watch the…

We were a customer but because of the fact that one of your affiliates we contracted through misrepresented themselves several times and not being to get the yes network, we took our business elsewhere. We have made several attempts to receive a final bill showing that we were charged the termination fee and that it was paid.

All we keep receiving is a statement showing that we owe no balance. I know you probably feel that we are one little customer among so many, but we fail to see how this simple request can not be granted.

Name and address and account number with lines on the bill, one showing the termination charge and one showing the payment. We have tried calling to speak to a supervisor but no one would connect us. We hope this will get us the result we are looking for.

I was provided incorrect information about my March bill by one of your representatives in February. Then, when I called in to speak to a representative about the incorrect information given,"David" indicated that I could not have been told the information.

Then, I stated to him, "You could listen to the tape recording for verification", for I know what I was told. Therefore, I asked to speak with a supervisor. He said that the company does not have supervisors, just escalation specialists.

I was connected to the escalation specialist "Haley" who still did not directly address my concern, but apparently wanted to personally vouch for the first rep, David. James was the last person with whom I spoke but he tried to just play with words.

None of the three provided professional customer…

Channels in my subscription plan are not working. Called Dish and 2 different people tried to send my receiver a signal.

First person cut the phone call off by saying “If this doesn’t work in 15 minutes, call us back”. It didn’t. Called back. This person went through same scenario. Did not work. Will send a tech out but I must sign up for a warranty plan or The fee will be $95 for a tech to come and fix why I am not receiving some of the channels that I pay for each month. Unbelievable.

My husband and I have had Dish for many years and have always enjoyed Dish, including customer service which was always great.

However, now that I want to cancel Dish which has become entirely too expensive, I can't get through to anyone and am left hanging on the phone. This is totally unacceptable and I would like to know how a person can cancel their subscription?

It is obvious this is done on purpose because I don't have a problem getting through to customer service regarding changing my package, etc. It is only the disconnect department. I am not happy and I will eventually get this taken care of but I would like to say what is happening is disturbing to me and don't appreciate this kind of treatment.

I left my Dish service residence in December to snowbird on Florida for the winter. My Dish service was billed automatically every month to my credit card. Until 2/8 I assumed all was ok with my Dish service. On 2/8 I received a v-mail from Dish staying I needed to contact them about my account?

On 2/15 I received anothe v-mail with the same message. On 2/16 my neighbor adviced me two packages from Dish Rrived on my doorstep. I called Dish back and asked what was going on with my account? I was informed that they had not received payment for four months and my service was terminated!

To my surprise I stated how come no one called me? Dish stated that they called my bank? I have the same card and many other utilities that continue to automatically charge my card every month without…

I do want to express the worst experience I had with one of your sales men. I believe his name is Akeem he was being very flirtatious towards my daughter which made her very uncomfortable. He should not be flirting and asking personal questions that have absolutely nothing to do with work at all.

This will be moving up to higher authority and I will be taking this further. So very un-professional.

I think it's been two months. No Bill Maher, Vice News, John Oliver, Game of Thrones, True Dectective 3rd Season, specials, WOW! It sucks!

And, to add insult to injury, you, DISH, do not keep your customers informed I(what is going on, if anything is).

TWICE, we've actively looked at changing to Directv, but we had LEFT DIRECTV to come to DISH! We had already left AT&T (landline) for smart phone and gave AT&T the finger.

We really, really are having withdrawal symptoms.

Any light at the end of the tunnel.......or, is that another train coming this way?

Dish network is not professional at all! I made a one time payment for my parents recently 2/my banking info & specifically told them to remove my data upon the processing of the payment. Thinking this was done, to my shock another payment in the amount $170 was debited from my acct again.

A rep previously told me I would receive a refund in 7-10 days. After 14 days I call back & they say refunded was disapproved for something they did not do. That is, remove my banking info after the first payment.

The stank thing about this is I don’t even have a dish acct. what a bummer! Now I am out of $170. Whatever you do, do not choose dish network because they do not have proper procedures in place to handle matters.

I will not refer anyone to them. They are now a sour taste in my mouth! Also, I…

My monthly DISH bill was due on 12/25/18. I am a United States Navy veteran and my wife and I are both disabled. We are both on fixed incomes and, due to the holidays, did not have enough money this month to pay our bill.

I contacted DISH on 12/24/18, a day before my bill's due date, to see about the possibility of getting a payment deferral. I was told this could not be done until my payment was delinquent. I contacted DISH on 12/26/18, a day after my account became delinquent, via the chat option online.

I explained about my limited funds and I had a choice to buy food or pay my DISH bill. I was asked when I could pay and I informed the customer service representative that I could pay when I receive my SSDI funds on 1/3/19.

I was assured that this would be ok because there was a grace…

I have had Dish for over five years. I am in MT seven months and AZ five months every year. I have always put my service on hold at one location and started it at the other as travel dictates.

Last year was the first time I've had a problem. I contacted the Better Business B. and my complaint was resolved in my favor. I am now being charged a higher here in AZ. When I asked why I was told it's a separate account.

I have done the same thing for five years with no higher fee and I've always had automatic payments taken out of my Visa for the last five years. I am the same person doing the same thing so I should not be charged a higher rate.

I hope this can be resolved without contacting the BBB again. 00 charge to be back in line with past bills. I am a good customer. My bills are always…

I had a simple problem. I could not remember how to use my Dish equipment to go from Satellite to my DVR. I spent over 2hrs, speaking to 4 people. I was told to use a system on my Dish Remote that took me to the DVD, put play button did not work.

I was ask to unplug the Joeys, check wires, give access to the Technician. After three technicians I was told it was my DVD player that was defective, and not their problem. The last person I spoke to was my request to cancel my subscription with Dish.

He told me it was not their equipment that was at fault, it was my DVR. He told me I had two options, where they would send out a Technician. 1. 99 monthly for insurance. 00 dollars to Cancel my subscription.

I took the option 2. The Technician corrected the problem in 5 minutes. He told me that…

So, he is the only one person I can talk to in Dish's call center. Really? No managers or people that care about customers' concerns? I am not asking for discounts!! Just to know why I was never given the right info.

I keep looking for a straight answer, and everyone passes me to the next person or recording!!!!! I'm over it . I will be switching to a service where my questions will be answered instead you want my payments with no direct answers...

I pay a lot of money not to be able to enjoy WHAT shows I want to watch.
