Hello.
Being a retailer I will have a lash at this one.
He is right about the 8 month thing to start with. The only danger I can see now is you breaching your contract with dish.
If there smart, most retailers will have you sign the dish contract, as well as a separate contract with them. This protects them and gives them somebody to go after for there money that dish charges them back in the event you default.
He is wrong about the second 8 months. As long as he got 8 months out of you, I don't see how he would care. All he would stand to lose would be the residuals for that receiver, but that is his tough luck.
I would take a CLOSE look at your contract. Did you sign a separate contract wiht him only? Post exactly what it says about the 8 month thing. I too think he is using the vaseline on you. As long as you stress to dish that you are upgrading your receiver, it shouldn't be a problem.
It only takes one retailer to give all the others a bad name. That is part of the reason I joined this board is too try to help customers when they need it. I'm sorry that you are getting the shaft. DBS TV is supposed to be a fun thing to have.
As I said before, post exactly what it says about the 8 month thing. It has been my experience that the retailer contracts( not the dish contracts) are really hard to enforce if it is not defined EXACTLY what the terms are. If he still says you have to wait another 8 months, change your credit card number, your checking account number, and call his bluff.
I hope this helps. I'll be waiting to hear the outcome!
