Know about Dish Network disconnect Scams when your agreement term is met.

After 18 months of subscribing to 100 channels of mostly reruns at Dish Network I chose to disconnect as the contract term was met.
First I found there is no way to disconnect thru their website(you could only buy more options there), I called them on 4/7/2008 to
disconnect , there you'll end of talking to an operator who does not take no for answer and insists on asking all sort of questions
about why and when you tell that you are not using it quickly want to get your agreement on holding the service for you another
6 months not mentioning there is a $10/mo charge for it till last minute after you agreed to hold. Refusing the hold option the operator
finally agrees to disconnect as of 5/3/2008, no charges are due but I am required to send back their receiver in a box they send me
within 10 days after 5/3/2008(account # is 8255909339772078).
On 4/20/2008 I received my new monthly dish network bill of $61.45 for 5/3/2008 to 6/2/2008 instead of disconnect they raised the
$49.99 monthly due to $61.45.
Filed a complaint thru BBB and hoping to get rid of dish network subscription ordeal one way or another.

I'd suggest you go to www.ftatalk.com and learn the alternative way to obtain entertainment programming for your home. I currently own a View Sonic 7000PVR and I'm not unhappy about it. Time to stick it to DN since they've been so kind as to stick it to you.

Have you posted this to The Consumerist?

I just did, thanks for the referal.


Thank you for letting me know about ftatalk.com.
I mainly watch movies and plan to renew my netflix again,used to have more to watch using netflix than DN.
