Electronics and household app.
In August we signed up for dish net from Conrads TV in the town where we live. From the very first day we couldn't get any programs for more than 15 minutes. We called the owner of Conrads TV, he came out to see what was going on, Our dish strength was at 98% no problem their. He changed the lnb still the same problem.
He then came back with an old receiver and took our new receiver to get it fixed, and that we would have it back in a week. Well same thing no programming. When I called Conrads TV to ask about our receiver I was told it wasn't back yet.
In the mean time I had contacted Dish network to let them know we had no programming, and that we had no receiver. At this time we had already paid for 3 months of programming, that we didn't even have. I filed a complaint with dish net about Conrads TV. Dish Network told me they would put my contract with them on hold until I received a new receiver and then we would start the contract from their.
Well I just receiver the supposta be new receiver on 12/13/01. I called Dish Network to my programming turned on. Well I was informed by Dish Network that in order to have my programming turned on I'd have to pay 240.00, because the sent my account to collections for non payment.
Hello! I don't think so!!! I'm not paying for this and I don't want the Dish network! Dish Network wants us to pay for a 1 year contract.
What Contract they can't even keep up their end of the deal. I do believe its called breech of contract on Dish Networks part! I would'nt get dish network now even if they gave it to me FREE!!!
