EchoStar 3720 Dish Network System

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 ...

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 ...

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...

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: Good dealers
Cons: Bad technical service

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: Lots of channels
Cons: That darn remote is a real bear to operate

Last week, we got our Dish Network satellite installed. This week, I am still trying to figure out how to work the darn remote.

My husband and I were tired of paying for cable that we never got. We paid about 35.00 a month for around 25...

Pros: toon disney
Cons: COST

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.

The installation of this...

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...

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: 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: 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: 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: None
Cons: Dishonest technicians, useless customer service, poor quality

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: 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!

The price versus cable is unbeatable!...
