Okay, I admit it -- I got Dish Network because I was mad at the cable people! Being the "cut off your nose to spite your face" type of person I spent more money to get Dish than I would have spent on cable.
Pros: Great picture quality, cheaper than cable Cons: very poor customer service
I was getting tired of my local cable company constantly raising rates, so I investigated small satellite dishes, mainly Dish Network and DirectTV. I chose Dish Network and found a great buy on a 3720 system from an authorized Dish Network retailer on...
Pros: easy to learn, lots of options Cons: reception bad during storms
With our satellite service from Dish Network arrived the Echostar receiver.... We've had this receiver for 2 years now and are very satisfied with the receiver itself, our satisfaction with Dish Networks as a provider is a different epinion!
Pros: Great Picture, Great Music, Fewer Price Increases than cable, Less Down Time Cons: No Local Weather from TWC, More than one TV costs more, The EchoStar 3800 remote is meant for a rocket scientist
I love my satellite TV!! I never thought anything could be better than cable, TV is TV right? Wrong!! Not only the picture quality, the music "stations" are incredible as well. The choice is almost overwhelming! Thank You Dish Network for...
We recently switched from Primestar to the Dish Network so we could receive local network feeds. Our 3720 satellite system consists of an EchoStar 3700 integrated receiver/decoder (IRD), two 18inch attennas each aimed at a different satellite, and an...
Pros: Lower monthly payments with more programming than cable Cons: Poor customer service, and nosy politicians, but what's new!
I purchased the Dish, because my mother and father had it, and was very excited, but I soon learned that what they could have on theirs, only five miles from my home, was not what I could recieve on mine!
Pros: Fairly cheap, great reception Cons: No broadcast channels in the basic package
Living in Tempe, Arizona, I was paying $60.00/month for my cable bill. If I didn't have cable, I wouldn't get my reception in clear enough to watch anything, so, being the avid T.V. watcher that I am, I had no choice.
Pros: Great channel selection, good quality, easy to use. Cons: Dish customer no service.
I'm going to review the equipment, the channels and the customer service. I think that all three of these should be taken into consideration before you choose.
First, the equipment is great. It's easy to use and set up. I hooked the dish...
Pros: Variety, cost. Cons: Difficult to self install.
After living for 5 years without any form of cable television, I decided that it was time to find something to get back into the modern ages. I would have just gone with cable service had it not been for two things....First was that I wanted to find a...
Pros: More channels, lower cost than cable Cons: Has trouble in bad weather
I got tired of cable continually raising my rates and running ads telling me how bad satellite TV systems were. Since it's been my experience that people don't run negative ads unless they are desperate, I did my own research and boy am I glad! ...
Pros: great equipment and picture,Good price Cons: Unless you have dual lnb,limited to one tv
I have been a directtv customer for sometime,I have now changed to the dish network.I have to tell you the truth for the most part either system would be better than cable tv.The two systems dish and directtv are about the same.Dish now has the...
This review really about service, not product!
I have recently been looking for an alternative to cable as my provider is raising prices and cutting service. I received an email offer for a free dish and hook up etc.
Now, I want to clarify,...
Pros: might give you a picture or it might not Cons: worked less than a week
I am a professional installer of satellite systems with over five years of mini-dish experience alone, not to even mention an additional five years with C-band dishes. I purchased a echostar system for my father and professionally installed it for him....
I was fed up with the cable company always escalating their prices so I decided to take the leap to satellite. After speaking to friends that already had one, talking to salesmen (not much help), and watching the advertisements for a good price, I made...
Pros: The deals sound great Cons: Customer service is horrible and will not get better.
When I first got Dish network I lived in the country (Colorado) and cable was not an alternative. I had the large dish and saw service was disappearing so I thought it was now the time to change. The dish was installed as expected and channels were...
Think it twice before you sign up for satellite-TV with Dish Network. They won't let you know about technical difficulties or physical limitations that will not allow your system to receive the satellite signal (even though they're supposed to be...
Pros: Much clearer than the antennae and cable. Cheaper than cable. Cons: Waited 15 min to get rep for service. No local news in my area so keep an antennae.
We purchased this system for my father and it is still working great since December of 1999!
I am a large dish owner, and think this is a good substitute. It is a scaled down version of the costly huge dish in the yard, and the...
Pros: channel selecrion Cons: telephone customer support
I have used this product for 9 months. I have a 2 dish system so I can view local and international channels. The service over this time has been responsive. I did have a problem with a switch box that was replaced for free under warranty. The channel...
Pros: OK Signal Cons: Not honest people, I would never do business with them again. BE WARY Of FRAUD.
Disaster Customer Service, Dishonest people by a90319, Jan 13 '06 Last September 2005 I went with Dish Network from Direct TV. We were promised a gift for signing up. A Home Entertainment System with a DVD, etc. I mailed the paperwork with my receipt ...
My husband got EchoStar 3720 Dish from a friend as a favor return. The friend installed it for free and we purchased it wholesale. We had previously talked about getting satellite before but the money to set it up was the hold-up. Satellite is a lot...
Pros: Reasonable price Cons: Poor performance and very few options when difficulties arise
I have two 3000 models. Both have gone bad in less than 2 1/2 years. Luckily one was covered under a "special warranty" because of a "hardware problem" that was discovered by Dish but not told to the customers unless the problem was reported. Now, the...
Pros: Like the equipment when it works. Cons: Horrible Customer Service and tech service
We have had dish for about 2 years and recently upgraded to an HD receiver. A cable connection went bad and we were given a different answer every time we called tech. When my husband asked for a replacement he was denied. When he asked to speak with ...
Pros: Ha what a joke! Cons: You have to pay for repairs and removal of all their equipment.
After all we went through with Dish, I will never recommend it to anyone. We had cable for 15 years. They started raising their prices and giving us the run around. So I canceled them and went with Dish Network. What a huge mistake! The first day we ...
