[QUOTE="Travis798, post: 2571864, member: 5980"] I had dish for years and was pretty happy with them, until I was working in Ohio and couldn't get signal on my dish at my RV park. Dish installers would come out for 30 seconds, say they couldn't get signal and leave. The directv installers would hunt for hours to get you service. Since I wasn't in contract, I cancelled dish and got directv. I've been happy with them since. After I cancelled dish, they billed me for my equipment, even though I had outright purchased my equipment before hand. I tried explaining that is why I had an equipment upgrade not 6 months beforehand but was not under contract. They weren't having any of it and all of my paperwork at here in Oklahoma. They sent equipment return boxes to Oklahoma, which did me no good, and I ended up just paying the $300 or so dollars because I didn't have time to fight with them and I didn't want the collections on my credit. Tyromeo55 is right about some installers being idiots. I once had to loan my dish network installer a ladder, a drill, and silicone so that he could do the install, and then had someone back out within a few months to fix his crap. I don't know how Dish does it now, but one thing I like about Directv is that while your initial install will be done by a contractor that gets paid per job, any time I've had to get another guy out after that, it's been a Directv employee that is paid by the hour. The tech told me they sent them for repair to make sure the job was done right and not just rushed through to get to the new job. [/QUOTE]
