I thought Dish offered something for snowbirds so they could put their account on vacation. I want to sign up for Dish but can not use it in the winter because our condos will not allow.
Can any one help me out with this. I don't want to purchase the equipment.

DISH Pause will let you suspend your account for up to 6 months at a time. If you are currently in a commitment, it will extend it for # of months paused. Cost is $5/month, but you should verify with a CSR as I recall reading that it was $10/month for leased equipment. No idea if there is a price difference for sure.

If search here remains poor, you could try

and click on Cached Version, then Text only.

Previous years, it might not have been possible to Pause while in a commit, but I think it is allowed now. Do a Chat online if someone doesn't followup with a definite answer here.

DishPause is not allowed when in commitment. CABill's pricing is correct however.

If you have a balcony that faces the south on your condo and can get a line of sight for the sats you are allowed to have the service at your condo. HOA's do not supercede federal law.
