My rant Dishnet

[evd]

Yesterday they come to install system since i was still moving from one places to another i let they guy know to give me 95% signal minimum then let my gf in the house and kept doing the moving when i come back guy is gone and he only let me with 70% signal was cloudy and screen went blank i ready to go back to cable so upset input this.
any way we call the they say now we need to wait till not raining to call them again piss me off i know what is the problem but they wont listen because cost the money to send installer back i guess.

today thing working but now i see i don't have few channels they offer me on phone now i have to pay 10 dollars extra to get VH1 with few channels more.

i cant believe VH1 is not in first package then they wonder why people do what they do with there signal if they treat people with respect maybe they will have 75% more client than now.


if not fix soon i will go back to cable i don't see why i have to fix there crappy installer work.

Most of the installers do crappy work. Here in the US most are contractors and don't even work for the satellite co. and get paid a flat rate and just want to get in and out.

2 years ago when we installed bell had similar problem. dish on roof strong november wind off lake shifted dish, no more signal. called to have someone come out to look at it and they told me $75 for a technician to come out. i ended up going up myself and with two cell phones we lined it up. bolts were only hand tightened, go figure.

Like COUGAR830 said they are subs get paid to get work order signed and they do not know shit
Here no one gets DN they all get DTV that is my sub they must go to a class and learn first most know what they are doing!!!
But that means a 3 to 4 day waiting list but in most cases the work is done right with a 85to 95% signal or more no less I get 99% most days but there tuner sucks pic bad
Well thats my 2 cents

Like maxx, I also had a sub with Bell--had--is the key word here. Nothing but problems re installation, re-visits, want more $$$ to do stuff they screwed up in the first place etc. Got rid of them & went cable as a sub. Like a few guys mentioned, bell sent kids to do the work, fresh out of classes it seemed. There is nothing better than on the job training programs (apprentices) for any repairs. But that costs $$$ to the company soooo noooo, not when bell can charge us for their mistakes or lack of effort. Bell guy was even checking out my dish installation commenting on how good the setup was done etc LMAO.

reistall it yourself and prove to them and have a witness and have a paper noterised....and them have them give you 6 months of free programing or get the install rebated back in a check or have them take it off you bill
and have the installer reported...has he done anything else that was not done right..have that added also
they will do anything to keep you as a customer
I got a years worth of free stuff because they charged me 3 times and every time they said they must have made a mistake..they found it every time...I get all but the ppv's
I do get some PPV's movies as long as they are not new...but wai a week and I get them..but none of the $50 ones and also the adult programming...no big deal if you have the real thing next to you.....lol
