moody current dish customer not happy with the dvr's. i had problem with one and they shipped me another. this one also had problems and when i called them about it they already knew that model had the problems i was experiencing. dish would not replace it. said they had people working on it. only offer i got was not to be charged the dvr monthly charge. whoope...it records programs at a whim..the biggest problem is that sometimes,,several times a day,,when rewinding a show to see something missed, it loses signal and does the reaquiring the satellite signal thing. you end up missing even more of the show that what you wanted to rewind to see. Crap!!!! 4/19/2007

Beverly My Dish HD experience has been awful. Have had it 3 months and it has never worked properly. They tell me they have a "known" software/receiver problem they are working on. I am changing to Directtv. 5/20/2006
Mona G. Watts My experience with DISH has been absolutely horrible. They cannot get their billing straight and they have been very poor with customer service. I have had it for 3 1/2 months and have called them on more occasions than I can remember right now. Currently, my satellite has been malfunctioning for greater than a week. I have had two service calls, and yet it still does not work. They are slow to make the appointments, and the techs have always been at least two hours after the designated times. Again, DISH has been a huge disappointment. To be able to watch tv, I am going to have to switch back to DIRECTV or cable. I would never recommend DISH to anyone! 5/18/2006
