DISH Network Reviews

This company stinks. Been with them for 19 yrs and the price got so expensive that called to turn it off. They're going to charge me 200$ to turn service off. For what it’s beyond me. Rotten worthless company

Lied to several times by many different representatives. Tried to cancel the same day they installed and they threaten you with hundreds of dollars in penalties. Cannot watch my local sports, what a waste of money.

My biggest complaint is You can't move the TV once it's set up so if you're like me and move the furniture around or move to clean you can't or the TV loses signal and it could be 2 weeks before the repair guy gets over to fix it and you get charged!!! I have done this twice. Never unplugged anything just slid the TV stand over.

If you like watching sports DON'T get Dish. They blackout sports channels then have a guy come on the TV and explain they want more money so they blackout the event until they get it. He also tells you to spam the other side to help them out. I live in the deep country and this was the only thing available. I rather stream from a phone to the TV than give them 1 more $. And I do pay for the sports package, $140 a month and your box has to be restarted daily or the TV will just freeze. I've had them come out several times and replace the devices and still it sucks.

That overcharge for services and then charged a fee for disconnection. They take advantage of people and do not care about customer service. They change equipment and don't explain changes in rates for the plan.

I was a Dish customer for 5 yrs and 5mo and needed to return my Hopper when I canceled my account. I canceled on 29th of March 2024. I was informed that they couldn't get me a return box because it was in system as an RV account. On the 10th of April I received a bill for over $20. I contacted Dish and was informed it was because I had not returned my Hopper. They sent Mr a box to return it but that never arrived. So I contacted Dish again and they sent me an email with a shipping label for UPS. Went to UPS store and had to pay for a box to ship it back.

Would give them a 0 star if I could!! Don't!!! I repeat don't ever sign up for this service. We asked the gentleman that we spoke with if this would give us access to Atlanta Braves baseball, college football, local channels? He said yes to everything except he did state that there was no local channel 2. The third day no baseball. Said that they couldn't control what the channel blacked out. I truly hate DISH Network! Once I talked to them about it they were extremely rude and said they would charge me $480 to cancel the service. Only had the service for 3 days. Tried to cancel my credit card on file and they blocked my access to it. Now I will have to take it up with my bank. Whatever you do don't sign up or listen to anything about getting service with dish network. Worst service I have ever had from a company. Don't walk away from dish. Run and I mean run!!!!

I have been a Dish customer for 16 years. I was charged $69.99 for a PPV that I didn't order. And have never ordered any movies etc. being a customer. They said they will not waive it it because I did. Call me a liar huh. They then tried to sell me on other packages. They didn't care. Looks like I will be finding another provider.

While we did have Dish for the past 7 years (no internet where we live), and the picture quality was fine. One major problem is that there are literally hundreds of wasted, unused channels. Now that we have cable and have just canceled dish it took nearly an hour on the phone, having to listen to some that I could barely understand try to sell me all sorts of options and pricing (that was never available prior) even after being told 3 times that I don't want to hear about any offers. You also have to go on your roof and take apart part of the dish receiver and send it back with the main receiver and the secondary receiver (joey). I highly recommend other options.

My parents and my uncle switched to Dish Network - mostly due to poor service from their current provider located in The Villages, FL. Dish network has all these "promises, quality, honesty and integrity claims on their site. They stated that all local channels would be included. (NOT). ABC is not included in their area due to a dispute. This has been for about 1.5 years so far. Was not disclosed. My parents are 88 and 90 - and yes, while they could use a HD antenna - try to explain to a 90 year old how to change inputs back and forth on their TV. Fun. They are already stuck in a 24 month contract. Called Dish - they are stuck (or pay $500 to get out of the contract). Dish certainly "dishes" it out to get your business and still spews their "honesty" policy on the phone. Double check everything before you sign up with anyone - especially Dish.
