My Dish Network Installation Experience

[jericho]

10:15am Dish network van arrives at my house and I am notified at work to come let them in.

10:20am I arrive at home to let technicians inside to set up.

12:25pm Technicians are finally done installing the dish and setting up all 4 receivers.

12:30pm Technicians explain the contract, tell me to enjoy, and leave.

12:35pm Technician rings doorbell and asks me not to get upset.

12:36pm I survey the damage from the Dish Network van which has plowed into the side of my car in the driveway.

...but are you getting a good signal????

12:55 Neighbors report man laying face down in the sewer with dish wrapped around his neck?

And LNB's where his eye's were.

And don't even ask where the receiver is!!!!

No wonder the Dishplayer is so crappy

(Sorry I could not help myself)

If this story is true I am sorry, but I find it kind of funny.

Let us know what happened.

Unfortunately this is a true story, and the local Dish Network store wouldn't return my calls about any equipment compensation. Their insurance did cover the bill however including rental car money.

One week later: Digital cable salesman found dead in alley with dish network channel guide rolled up & sticking out of his nose.

Police officer to reporter: "Cable rage. We're seeing a lot of that lately."

Hmmm...

This sounds like free Dish Network for life, Jericho!

Nope, as I said earlier there was no compensation with service, equipment or anything besides fixing the car. I tried though.
