✓ App are-authorize for Wally Not GoodSeems like every time I go to use my Wally with my Dish playmaker I have to call Dish to get it working again. This is even though I pay for it every month. They say use the app to re-authorize. I go in the app and follow instructions. I have to push this multiple times they go through the 15 minute boot up process. Can take over an hour after then having to call and talk with customer support. Definitely makes me want to look at other satellite providers. A brilliant idea would be to indicate whether the reauthourize has been received first in the boot process after connecting to the satellite. This would then allow support or app users to know success or start over. Better yet don’t make me reauthorize..ArcjasonVersion: 3.46.3.4

✓ Trouble canceling account for elderly customerWe recently were in contact with dish support trying to cancel the new contract for my mother, willing to pay the amount of the disconnect fee of over $300. Note my parents are both in their 80’s and had placed a service call last year in doing so the technician updated their service and equipment, receiving approval from a senior with dementia (dad was admitted to a facility approximately 2 months after signing) this upgrade put them into a new 2year contract. Now Mom is left with a service that she does not need and forgets how to use. Therefore, we get calls at midnight because she thinks that the tv doesn’t work because she has hit the wrong buttons. Therefore, we figured we would request the service be canceled and pay the fee, however when calling support to do so we’re told that we couldn’t without letters from the facility that my father is in or Dad’s signature, however we were repeatedly asked if we wanted an upgrade and why we wanted to cancel, and after explaining were told to train mom that it is really easy. All I can say is, I am ashamed of how this country has begun to treat their elderly..3Clyde3Version: 3.47.1.2

✓ IrritatingI got the tailgater for camping and the advertisement for the Dish package said it included local channels. The only time we used it, a couple months ago, there were no local channels so I tried to call Dish customer service but for two weeks all I got was “our service is down but we’re working on it”. Now I just renewed the account for another camping trip and the rep told me there are no local channels included, it’s an additional $12. We have the Top 120 package and honestly their “Top 120” has maybe 10-15 channels that are watchable unless you enjoy QVC or Spanish speaking channels. We only use it for camping so it’s a thorn that I’ll have to live with but it’s a lot of money for not a lot of tv. Just my opinion but I would probably just go with over the air channels if I knew I could get them but sometimes campgrounds can be notoriously bad for tv reception..C C RussellVersion: 3.54.3

✓ So, so, reviewSeems like “new” or potential customers receive more incentives than established ones. The most annoying thing though, is the fact that my 120+ stations amount to alot of similarities...going from one station to the next and the only difference is the program title in most cases. I want entertainment, not looking for info programs, and not looking to buy anything. In my subscription, I count 10-15 stations that I look at. For me, the rest are not worth my time, so I guess, paying more for less. Looking to see if I can at least reconnect an outdoor antenna to receive local networks. Paying for something that’s otherwise free, is a rip-off! Plain and simple! We are in an area, that if you want more than local stations, you have satellite service to choose from, because cable is not available. Definitely wish there was “something else” out there!!!!!!.RileysboyVersion: 3.20

✓ Charge for Wally box I ownI went to start up my Dish service for my motor home only to find I am being charged $7.00 every time for a Wally box I own!! When I called to ask about this I was told everyone now gets charged regardless of if they own or rent. This is ridiculous! I asked if a box would be sent to me if I am paying for it and was told “ I believe”. I asked the customer service rep if this meant she knew or not. I did not feel I was getting factual information, just her agreeing with what should happen. Also was told that if I turn on the service for the 30 days and only use it 2 I would be able to get a credit for the other 28 days, “ she believes”. I was never notified of any policy change and had no idea equipment fees would be added to the monthly service for what I purchased and own. Anyone else had the same problem? My customer service rep said many people who own their boxes and call in are angry. I need clarification on these points!!.Needing ClarificationVersion: 3.28

✓ This app doesn’t workI recently dumped my DirecTV subscription after 10 years primarily because of their incessant channel interruptions/disputes and as I’ve noticed, something that Dish Network is certainly not immune to. These interruptions are now escalating to the extent that the federal government really needs to intervene so that consumer rights and subscription rates we pay has more “say” in a process that we are continuously locked out of. As a new subscriber, and while I have been perceiving Dish Network as an alternative TV subscription service, there have already been several hiccups with respect to getting the channels I’ve supposed to receive to “download” into my channel lineup so I can view them...this is a process that takes wwwwaaayyy too long. And now I’m not able to activate this app as a means of reviewing and/or having access to my Dish Network account. I have a iPhone XS which I’d like to think should be a compatible device. What I had hoped would be a seamless transition from one to another and for what they tout as enticing features for their customers is quickly becoming frustrating and making me think twice if it was a wise decision to have switched..J0561Version: 3.20

✓ Worse App on my phoneThis App is terrible. Worse App on my phone. I constantly have to update. Most of the time my first attempt to log in say “access not avalible at this time.” I have to rest my pass word most every login as it says wrong password even though everytime i rest my password i save it in the key chain. I had a four digit pin that worked for a hot mintue but than i have to reset it up every month by logging in on my computer after i rest my password so what is the point. Hate Hate Hate this App. Forget using it to access your streaming service on the phone, down load Netflix instead. If it wasnt for my grandchildren wanting the Disney Channel and our rual internet service being so poor i would cancel my DISH just becuase of this APP..UnderSanderzVersion: 3.55.1

✓ Poor customer serviceWe choose not to have automatic pay with a credit card. As a result, we literally receive the paper bill less than 4 days before it’s due. We write the check and mail the payment the day we receive the bill and yet it’s nearly impossible to have it submitted on time. Multiple times our subscription has been cancelled the minute they don’t get their money. I have called to explain the problem but to no avail. They are basically trying to force us into auto pay. I’m ready to cancel them! In addition, our services been suspended multiple times for being $0.05 short. I write the check for the amount on the statement and somehow it’s not the right amount. Really? For five cents we get shut down when we’re paying what we were told to pay?🤬🤬🤬🤬.Unreasonable timingVersion: 3.39

✓ No Show Wasted 6 Hours WaitingI had an appointment for a tech on a Saturday between 12 & 5. I received a text that morning at 10:15 saying the tech will be there between 4:30 & 5:45. I received another text at 4:13 saying the tech will be there between 5:15 & 6:30. He never arrived & never heard from anyone at dish. I called to at 6:40 to verify if he was on his way. They told me what I they already knew. I asked if they could contact him & she said she couldn’t & she would reschedule for me. I thought it would be for Sunday, but no, it was for Wednesday. They didn’t keep the appointment & now I have to wait four more days? It does’t seem right. I wasted a day waiting, still no TV service & I have to wait 4 more days. I’m thinking of canceling the service, if this is how they treat their customers..MamafreezyVersion: 3.59.1

✓ Not necessarily the best deal in town “anymore”I’ve been using DisnNetwork almost Constantly, for the past 25+years. They used to be willing to work with you on the $$$ amount, they would get you the latest discount package at the time of your current promotional period. Also, they sorta behind my back, renewed my contact, during a failing equipment ordeal. I signed up for their advertised “free local channels/ outdoor antenna” program. Well the locals were always pixeled, & going off & on. DishNetwork, signed me up for their repair service & monthly fee ! Program, & had Tech’s out to my house 3-4 times, & they could Not fix it. Then one of their “Master” techs came out. After he ran out of tricks, he suggested, let’s try another reviver, “mine was several years old “ . So he installed the latest thing, we tried it for a few days. STILL Not working!! SO ! They (Dish) said, let’s put you back on the monthly fee for locals. & Well ! Sure that worked! But Now I have a “more expensive monthly program & receiver combo package” so the reverted my programming back where I was too. With a lesser receiver too! NOW !! I find out that in the “Fine Print” Is states that ANYTIME a Receiver is up-graded/replaced, it AUTOMATICALLY Extends you Contract fir another 2 years!! Even Though It was THEIR FAULT TO BEGIN WITH!! That My Friend leaves a Very Bitter After-taste Behind !!!.1stMichaelVersion: 3.32

✓ Unhappy on travelsWe made the costly jump and purchased the Dish King unit. We enjoy certain sports and wanted to keep track of things at home while we are traveling, thought this was our best choice. We have the 120 plus package with local channels. Three occasions wanted to see an event on tv, three occasions Dish failed to deliver. Had a fellow walk up to me today after I realized we are missing a race today because the screen just says local channels interrupted again and provider knows so don’t call to report outage or cannot receive channel outside viewing area, please change channel. That’s why we purchased all this in the first place! Any guesses on what I recommended? And BTW the last person we want to be on the phone with is technical support while on vacation.

✓ It used to be better than 1-star :(Once upon a time I could use the app to see what channels we had or what packages were available. Then fast forward to the last few weeks and now I get a white screen or a message that just says ‘Error Sorry something went wrong Try again later…’. I tried to get someone on the chat to see what other options I may have but I wasn’t waiting when I saw I was 554 in line. So after another week of not being able to use the app I figured maybe I could start letting reviews and then maybe someone could check it out. Just fix whatever it is you all have going on. I surely can’t be the only one that can’t access the system. I just had to *sigh* when you all had no issues taking my full payment for a system that hasn’t been fully accessible..Chris-PAVersion: 3.53.3

✓ Doesn’t work half the timeApp barley works. Every time I go to pay my bill the app is down for maintenance or some other excuse. For such a large company they have some pretty major issues with something as simple as an app. Not to mention they don’t have any online account access to pay bills outside of using a partner websites payment portal. Again for a company this size you would think they would have their own website to process payments. But whatever. I’ll just perpetually pay late fees since their app magically goes down every month when it’s time to pay. And do not give payment info to their “partner” website. The first and Last time I did that less than a week later my card was being used to pay for someone’s shopping spree in California..C-herrVersion: 3.53.3

✓ Good as Satellite TV Can Be But...Dish is too cheap to make a deal to get the Fox Regional channels back (which they have had well over 1 year to negotiate or simply pay the contract — which I was told by the company who owns those specific Regional (and, perhaps, in some cases even National) networks so that dish customers can watch their teams, whether professional or college sports — ...I reached out to that company and they told me that they have offered Dish a “fair and equal to other carriers of those channels contract”. SIGN THE CONTRACT DISH! I WANNA WATCH MY ATLANTA BRAVES GAMES COME OPENING DAY NEXT YEAR! **The WORST part about having Dish Network or any satellite television service for that matter is, rain snow sometimes even clouds will interrupt your service engine your perhaps in the middle of watching your favorite TV show or many other options that could be taking place.**.MoodytimeVersion: 3.32

✓ Disappointing....The elimination of channels is extremely disappointing. I have lost multiple sports channels for months now. And never have I been offered a discount. I had to call and complain for any type of compensation. Eliminating NFL Red Zone without any notification. I call to get it restored and there is a 60 minute wait. They don’t even give you the option to wait, they just disconnect your call. Great customer service..... The fact that you sign a contract and are held to it but DISH doesn’t have to keep the original channels from the day you signed on is not customer friendly whatsoever. The least you could do since you didn’t hold up your end of the bargain is let your customers get out of their contract that you failed to live up to for free instead of charging a ludicrous amount. Extremely disappointing..Brad1837482837Version: 3.20

✓ 4KI went out and bought two4K TVs so that I could have 4K television in my home. Turns out this does not provide any 4K channels/programming unless you have Internet. The sales person promised me that every single channel would come in in 4K on my 4K TVS… The first technician did not set up the 4K hopper in the correct room. The second technician lied to me and said all the HD channels were actually 4K. He said all I needed was a $40 cable that he had on the truck and I would get 4K. So I bought that $40 cable. This new cable did absolutely nothing to change the picture to 4K still did not get 4K on any TVs. The third technician came out and said oh well that second technician sold you the wrong cable you need to buy this $40 cable which I bought. I still do not have 4K on any channels on any of my TVs. I feel lied to and betrayed by the sales person and the technicians. I am extremely dissatisfied with dish. I’m a three-year customer going on for years. I cannot wait till my two year contract (that I am now obligated to since I was lied to by dish representatives) It’s over so I can get rid of dish forever.FranksLawnMaintenance LLCVersion: 3.49.4

✓ Your Provider is not supportedI recently subscribed to DISH Puerto Rico. The materials provided, “Welcome to DISH TV That’s Tuned In To You”, is basically marketing fluff which little useful content - basically a waste if time and effort. What was the objective of this booklet? It mentions features, but doesn’t actually tell you how to use them. It takes you half way there. It wastes pages with multi-page “feel good” photos. It describes features, but doesn’t actually describe how to use them. For example, it doesn’t explain how to set it edit Favorite Channels. The controls are absolutely NOT intuitive. The remote seems to use Bluetooth, but mine doesn’t function unless I’m within about 7 feet if the Hopper. Seriously? The booklet mentions this MyDISH App, but once downloaded, it says “Your Provider is Not Supported at This Time.” WHAT? My Provider is DISH, and happens to be in PR. We are NOT getting off to a good start with this remote or this App!.Fed up with improvementsVersion: 3.39

✓ Won't open beyond Logo screenI've used the app for a while with no issues. After the last update, the app will not open beyond the Logo screen. I tried closing the app completely and rebooting my iPhone 6 before trying to reopen and still it will not go beyond the logo screen. This version does not work. In response to your questions, I have an iPhone 6 software version 10.3.3. I believe that prior to the app upgrade I was using the remember me function. I do not believe that I was using the Touch ID to log in. The app never goes beyond the Dish Logo, so I cannot verify that information. The app was convenient prior to the app upgrade and is now useless in its current configuration. Since there appear to be several reviews with the same issue, hopefully this will be able to be resolved quickly. Thank you for your response..B&ADVersion: 2.5

✓ Return customerI had dish a few years ago but cancelled because of the lost signal issues every time it looked like rain. I was assured that changes were made to prevent this from happening. I switched back to find that issues still exist. In the 90 days we have have had dish, we have lost signal at least 20 times. Some were pretty bad storms that I can understand the loss, but some were just rain and the signal was still lost or interrupted. Sometimes they will switch from the HD to SD channels and that makes the loss time a little bearable. New... I will cancel this service as soon as my contract is over. In addition to interruptions in service, I have had multiple problems trying to change service. When I add a trial period for a premium channel, the web site always works, when I try to cancel my trial, their system is always mysteriously not working. Nothing but a scam!.Frustrated gibbyVersion: 3.37

✓ Dana G.I’ve always had direct tv and with all their changes they were doing, my husband and I decided to go with Dish. A lot of our family members and friends use Dish so we decided to drop direct tv. BIG MISTAKE!!!! We’ve had more problems and today makes exactly one month of having it and since day one it’s been something constantly!! We’ve called customer service twice and they walked us through resetting everything and that helped maybe a day, I’ve sent an email but no response, the technician that installed everything was very nice but very confused acting. We have to reset the Joey box in our master bedroom everyday at least 4-5 times and the Hopper in the living room maybe 1-2 times. It’s aggravating considering they want me to pay my bill, but they won’t send anybody out or even lower my bill due to the aggravation. Direct tv is looking really good right now!!!! Thanks for all the aggravation Dish Network!!!.Roll Tide ChickVersion: 3.22

✓ Don’t go with dishI made the switch to dish. Let’s just say as soon as my contract was up I was gone. Customer service has tried to make it as hard as they could to stop me. My service was restarted a few days after I canceled it without my permission. The customer service agents told me I’d have to pay for 2 days prorated service. They proceeded to tell me I was stupid for leaving dish, and that they only help make intelligent tv choices. Finally I got to a supervisor who helped me clear all those charges. I will definitely not choose dish again. They could charge a dollar for their service, but if you don’t have the channels I want it’s not worth it. One thing they should understand is that. They definitely need to not bad mouth their competitors when trying to keep customers. I ended up going to direct tv because of that lol. I had them prior to dish and they didn’t give as hard of a time leaving as dish. When you leave dish don’t pay last bill with the app it’ll restart your service..Jreed72Version: 3.39

✓ Your Monthly Charges are Ridicules !!I’m an Veteran now Disabled on a small Disability income!! Dish Keeps raising my bill constantly!! I do understand I have to call you every 3 months or every six months to see if I can get the 50% off pay Chanel specials if you have it !! But remember I’m disabled on a budget & I have more important things to do like stay alive pay meds co/pay than to remember to call Dish !! I’m at my end with Dish and I’m in the process of finding another provider with lower rates and if I can not I will just turn off my TV for good !! I’ve been fighting with you Dish for years to keep my monthly bill the same but I always loose because Dish always jacks my Bill up !!👎👎 Sincerely “ON MY WAY OUT” I will find another provider soon 🙏🙏👍👍… Aaron j McPeak jr.Holymoly92409Version: 3.70.2

✓ Never againI was a 5 year subscriber who was mostly satisfied. I called one day to get my bill lowered and was talked into a new 24 month contract in exchange for some minor little bill credits. Better than nothing I suppose, right? Well...just a few days to couple of weeks later, they pulled our NBC off the air due to one of their ever present contract disputes. We endured the loss of NBC for over three weeks until my wife had enough. This was a deal breaker for us and we opted to try a streaming service (which I wish we had done years ago). Because I had been roped into another 2 year contract, they are now charging me $230 to break the contract-- after only receiving *ONE* little bill credit and DESPITE having satisfied my original contract obligation from 2018 long ago. I sincerely hope more and more people continue to cut the cord and put these greedy crooks out of business. Dish Network, make a copy of my bill and post it on your wall because it's the last penny you will ever see of mine. To others looking for cable service, take heed at the kind of company you are dealing with..ThetreydudeVersion: 3.70.2

✓ Log in actual hellish experienceDish Network has blocked Lansing‘s ABC 53 for over a year. I’m trying to find a way to watch a college football game and I am at a frustrating infuriating point. I’ve tried two hours of logging in to various apps on my phone every which one needed to be updated and their password needed to be updated. I’ve been logged into these apps for a very long time and I had to log into ESPN plus which it was more drama and then I had to log into my dish network which was even more drama and I just can’t believe how frustrating this is. I’m paying the money I don’t know why I can’t just get the local channels I get all the other ones it’s basically evil at this point. I wish things would get easier. I am basically paying for nothing..2-10-11Version: 3.72.1

✓ Terrible since updateI’ve always bragged about this app being the most stress free when it comes to logging in and making a payment. I opted for paperless statements almost immediately after we started using DISH which has been years now. I was always thankful the app being hassle free when I need to make my payments or check my account. However after this last update, now I have to look up my account number and don’t even have the option of just looking at my account. It only wants a payment. That’s it. Like what if I want to check what package I have and change something or check for a charge? Why would try and fix something that isn’t broken? So ignorant on your part. From the latest reviews I’ve just read, I’m not the only customer who feels this way. You need to change it back to the way it was and fire whoever decided to change it..Missy100811Version: 3.53.3

✓ TV is ChangingI have been with Dish Network over 20 years. I always felt like it was a good value. It is no longer a good value. To pay nearly $200 a month for tv is foolish and irresponsible. Other methods are available for much less. Knowing this I have still tried to stick it out with Dishnet. The past few months Dishnet and FoxSports Network have gone separate ways due to inability to agree to terms. I am certain Fox wants more and Dish won’t increase cost to customers in an effort to fight for their customers. This puts me in a predicament because I am paying $13 per month just so I can watch St. Louis Cardinals baseball on Fox Midwest. I have done without for quite some time now, hoping a deal would be struck to return my one channel I pay $13 a month for. So , The season is in the last month and still no baseball on tv. I just went in and cancelled the package I have gotten nothing in return for. I feel satellite tv is in danger of going away if they don’t find a different way to do business that can lower the cost to consumers. The right thing for Dishnet to do is refund the cost of this package since FSN became unavailable. I am also disgusted by the refer a friend promotion that has been going on for years..DonC2Version: 3.20

✓ UnhappyI just joined the app And registered with a user name and password because I just got the silver plan protection. I can’t get to it to Answer questions it said I need to answer for the protection plan. I’ve had trouble with my dish for a few months and talked to a representative a month or so ago, she thought the problem was fixed, I tried to tell her it wasn’t and I’ve been having trouble ever since. I’ve called dish 2times on Monday ( June 20th) and was on phone for 35 min the first time and got disconnected. I called back and was told to push 1 for the same representative but of course she was on the line with another customer ( I Thought maybe it was me) so I had to get another representative and was on phone for over 30 min again he said I needed a technician to come out. The first appointment was June 30. I think this is ridiculous and if the problem isn’t fixed soon, I’m goin to switch companies!! Low and behold I can’t even get this message to send!!.What next??Version: 3.45.6.1

✓ Upset and DisappointedI have been a customer for many years. It seems like dish net work has been having many issues that customers are having to pay for. My bill goes up and down. Channels are taken away put back taken away again. You couldn’t even get through to a live person or even on the website. Your whole times are ridiculous on the phone and through chat. You’re put on hold during the wait time for almost 40 minutes to an hour and then disconnect it and then you have to start all over again. For the prices you would expect better service. And it’s not like it’s the best channels. and you wonder why you lose customers. I wonder if Mr. Charles McKay knows what’s going on. Maybe next time I should email corporate. And speak to them about my bill..Mizz KottonKandieVersion: 3.54.3
