If you are not tired to speaking to someone in India when you have a question, I believe that you are in the minority!!! I called with programming questions and got no where. They finally hung up on me when I asked to speak to someone in America. I too am tired of the paid advertisement channels with very little truly watchable movies, etc. If you do get a movie, it has been listed for the last 6-7 months. For a service you have to pay for, you keep paying and paying!

do not sign up - the worse service. I had another satelite provider for 10 years no problems. Our phone provider came into our neighborhood with a bundled program and we switched - we loose service at least once a week, the call center is terrible and the on-line support is use less unless you need help putting batteries in the remote. I'm paying the penalty and cancelling my service - phone, satellite and internet!

If they havent found Red October by now, it will never be found. dishnetwork and direct have the sorriest programming available. They show a rerun in the a. m. and again in the p. m. and again on the weekend. there are probably millions of both old and new movies to choose from without showing the same ones over and over. whoever came up with the idea of the marathons should be kicked. why is it necessary to show the whole Rocky series in one day. with just a little effort, i think they could provide somewhat quality programming.

About A year ago I went to an Authorized Dish network retailer To get the service.the so called Authorized retailer asked me for a Major credit card to initiate the application.I provided The card and since a lot of places require that I didn't worry. Last month on August 31st I found Two Charges for $2,450.00 the total...$4,900.00 Charged to that major Card I provide to the Authorized Retailer.I Tried calling the retailer But it seems that they went out of business.I have contacted the FTC,and I will report this Faud To the FBI And My local News Channel.The company name is Satellite & wireless located @ 10126 S.memorial Drive in Tulsa Ok.74133 and their phone#(disconected)(918)615-3474 I went by their store and is always closed. it makes wonder what kind of background checks Dish Network performs on this criminals before they get the job,and to think they came into my house to install the system.!I have contacted Dish Network And they have not given me an answer on this matter.

I counted the shopping channels of my program this morning; there are 18 in just the lower numbers!! Most of which had the same information! There must be a way, other than upgrading to a higher priced package, which will STILL have all those shopping channels!! I, for one, do not appreciate paying for stuff I have no use for! There are a lot of channels out there with better programming! What does anyone else think?
