Default Dish Network

I never had their service, and was wondering how they've been lately? I haven't signed my life away yet as the installer guy won't be here till Friday evening. Their top everything package was a hell of a better deal than DirecTVs version, so that's why I went with Dish.

I've had them for years and have had almost no issues with them. They've always treated me right.
And if i want to go camping, i can just pack up the dish to and set it up where ever i go.

Let me tell why I got rid of the dish & went to COMCAST, When it rains you'll lose signal & my wife likes the programs from COMCAST better, basic dish doesn't have FOX NEWS DISH was good when you were able to buy the box & see all their channels

signal problems in florida???????

your dish must have been horribly aligned, I had zero signal probs in maryland, and only a few glitched here and there in the worst rain up here in ohio. the farther south the better the signal.

I live in Kansas, out in the middle of nowhere so cable is not availiable. I've had Dish Network for about 10 years, we loose signal everytime it rains, snows, the wind blows over 20MPH and sometimes for no reason at all. I'd get rid of it in a heartbeat if I had another option, but I don't. The worst part is, when storms are rolling in and you need it the most, it's gone.

You can buy a cover for the dish that helps so you dont lost signal.
