Pros: Great price Cons: Poor management
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....

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: 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: 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: 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: number of channels Cons: number of channels
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 ...
