Dish does not carry the local ROOT Sports channel for the Houston Market. Not able to watch Houston Astros or Houston Rockets televised games. Had I known I would have never agreed to a 2 year contract. I was also told that there is not a trial period for DISH network. I thought AT&T had total control of DISH. Apparently not.

I had Dish about 5 years ago and swore I would never have it again. However, Direct was screwing me with prices even though I was a loyal customer and the Xfinity guy who came to my house wanted me to cut down a tree to hook me up!!!!!!!! The installer almost put me back to cancelling again. He had a bluetooth in his ear the enitre install, speaking Spanish and getting annoyed with me when I wanted to see what he was doing. The install seems to be fine, but he spent about 30 seconds showing me a very complicated program that I am still researching to see how to effectively use it.

Like the channel line-up. Sometime slow streaming quality and installation was not handled well. Technician said he would schedule someone to bury cable laying across my yard but I had to call and ask someone to come out.

Very clear picture very happy with the service...

This is a fantastic system. Runs great, excellent installer. Not so happy with the sales end. Felt like I was dealing with a boiler room operation. Fast talking, no honest answers and I still have no idea what I was sold. I only know that prior to and after my purchase there are many better deals at less prices. What gives? Agent fed me much misinformation.

I was not given any written diretions or explanationson how to navigate and find my channels.

Dish tells you a lot about what you can get .But when you ask for it they want more money .So if you are on a fix income like me you don't get mush.

There are some things I like about switching to DISH (lower cost for more channels and HD) but there are also several features of the Hopper that I really DO NOT like at all! When you have something scheduled to record on another channel, it just switches from the channel you are watching rather than switch the other receiver you are not watching. Also, if you are watching a show that is recording, you pause for some reason, then go back and continue watching, then when it reaches the end of that show the hopper will start showing the next program in the spot it is currently in (like maybe 15-30 minutes in the middle of the show) rather than letting you just continue watching. What if I like that show too? It won't let you rewind it either. I hate that! DirecTV has an up on DISH with that feature. Also, with this Joey, it is connected to the Hopper so you cannot watch anything individually if the the Hopper is recording two shows. So it ties our other two TV's to the Hopper and nobody in those other rooms can watch what they want if the Hopper is recording two shows. Not liking that at all! Another feature DirecTV has that DISH does not, is when turning on the DVR in the mornings, the DirecTV receiver will let you rewind 90 minutes of the channel the receiver was on when you turned it off the night before. I really liked that feature because then I could watch and listen to the news while getting ready in the mornings and be able to skip through the commercials. The DISH Hopper just starts right where a show is when you turn on the receiver and will not let you rewind. If DISH wants to be competitive with DirecTV they should really look into adding these features to their Hopper. In some ways I am regretting switching but I will give it some time to see if I like it any better in a few months.
