So I live in Washington State, as most people who live in this state and have dish know, the FOX channel has been removed since June. Dish will tell you they are working 24/7 for the consumer to try and keep the cost down and not pay the high prices the broadcasters want for their services. So about a week ago I decided after having Dish Network for 2 1/2 years to switch providers so I could watch Seahawks football. When I went to cancel my services with Dish Network, they told me I added a receiver in 03/15, therefore I was automatically signed up for another 2 year agreement from that point on and they would be charging me an early termination fee of $80. I explained to them they were not holding up their end of the programming I paid for and I would not have switched if they did. They in turn told me in the fine print of the agreement programming is subject to change at anytime during the agreement.
As I explained to them; if that is the case then they would be allowed to not renew their contract with the 200+ channels they say they provide and I would still be responsible for fulfilling my 2 year agreement with them! They told me that would be highly unlikely, and kept apologizing for not renewing their agreement with FOX. Of course if you listen to them it is all the broadcasters fault for wanting to charge them high prices for broadcasting the channel. At no time do they mention the millions of dollars Dish Network Makes. I suppose CEO Charles W. Ergen's modest 1.6 million dollar salary, and Vice President Warren W. Schlichting's $974,479 salary is justified.
To pour a little salt in the wound they also want to add $10 to my final bill to ship their equipment back to them! I will be contacting the Attorney General's Office, and see about a Class Action Law Suit against Dish Network for us Washington residents who are getting screwed over by this Mega TV provider! Do not sign up for DISH Network they have language built into their agreements to Screw you over when you try and terminate your service with them! AGAIN DO NOT SIGN UP FOR DISH NETWORK!!! read more
