Dish Network does offer an awesome channel line-up, and having a DVR is great!

But their customer service is the worst I’ve ever experienced. I have regular cable, but my grandparents have Dish. There have been many many issues with the CS, but I’ll just tell you about the most recent.

My grandfather passed away in January. The bill was due shortly after that. I called in, planning to switch the service into my grandma’s name, and pay the bill on the phone. Once I explained to them that my grandfather had passed, they refused to accept payment until we had faxed them a death certificate. We didn’t even have a death certificate yet! They assured me the service wouldn’t be interrupted, though. Well, when I finally got the death certificate, faxed it in, and called back to pay the bill, they charged us a late fee!!!

Can you believe it? I was steamed. Anyway, they do have excellent programming, but I can’t recommend them because of the customer service issues we’ve experienced.

We have had Dish Network for years and love it! I like that we have such a huge amount of channels and the price still beats cable every time.

I work/subscribe with DISH Network and absolutely love my services! My favorite part would have to be their HD selection. They have the most HD channels than any other provider and give all their new and existing qualified customers HD Free for Life. It’s great! I also love the HD DVR which can record tons of SD and HD programming! The HD PPV selection is the best too! It really makes you feel like you are in the movie instead of watching it! Hope your husband changes his mind! :)

I do, and I love it! We actually don’t watch much TV and we have the most basic package dish offers (although they actually don’t offer my $19.00 package anymore but we still have it), but I literally have it for the DVR!! We record my favorite prime time shows like Law and Order, The Office, and Bones. My kids watch about an hour in the mornings since they are up so early and their school starts so late, but then it’s off for the rest of the day.
LOVE DVR and love DISH
If my husband could have one thing, it would be to upgrade to some sports channels. We currently don’t have any.
