Dish Network, Echostar Corp
Paid $250 for HD Receiver, Told to Buy Another for New Channels

Electronics and household app.

In May I ordered a DishNetwork system, I paid a 250 fee for a high def. DVR dual tuner receiver, the best one they had available, for high def. Programming, I have everything they have to offer in programming, my bill for the last year has been $115.00 plus a month.

Now they are adding more channels and tell me I have to buy a new receiver to get the new HD stations I bought an HD receiver to get the programming when it comes available to just be told that I have to pay another $300.00 for a another receiver. I don't feel this is right. I told them I wanted to be able to receive HD programming when I ordered my equipment, they should have told me then that they were going to make me buy another receiver then not wait until they take me for $115.00 a month for the last year. I feel that they should replace my receiver for free. Or at least give me my $250.00 I paid them in the beginning for the receiver that apparently isn't worth a dime.

I don't understand where they can feel this is being fair to their customers, I hope Dish Network realizes that I'm not the only customer they have upset by this practice.
