I agreed via phone to have Dish Network installed at my home. After less than three weeks I was forced to cancel the service because it did NOT work. Just a slightest dusting of snow or a cloudy day would cause a loss of service. I was paying for a service that I wasn't getting. Dish Network also refused to send out a technition saying that service would return when the weather cleared. I live in the northeast where it always snows and I woud be without service most of the time. I told them to cancel after less than three weeks and they also 'refused' to send out some one to remove their equiptment and I was forced to climb up on the roof to get it down myself and mail it back to them. I was told a termination fee of $17.50 per month for two years would be charged. Instead I was charged $873.86. This is totaly ourageous and should be considered price gouging and illegal. I also asked Dish Network to send me a contract several times and none was ever sent. This was a phone agreement. I now have damage to my roof and siding which I feel Dish Network should pay to repair. This is nothing more than a 'SCAM' by Dish Network and legal action should be taken against this company.

Let us know when you file the lawsuit and the case number and jurisdiction...

I know, I'd like to follow the case.
When you asked dish why you were charged over $800 cancellation fee, what did they tell you....you DID ask, right. You must have just forgotten to post that.
Like I mentioned earlier, weather WILL affect ALL satellite TV service. We usually watch movies we've recorded on our Dish DVR if it's out for more than a few minutes.
BTW, did Dish damage your roof and siding or did this occur when you removed their equipment?

Yes I did read the contract which I just found online and it clearly states in bold letters: 'MAXIMUM TERMINATION FEE IS $420.' So why should they be allowed to more than double it? Also I am in my 60's and if you think my throwing a s****.>

Nowhere does it say $800+ can be charged. Even if they charge $17.50 that is twice the amount of an early termination fee. Don't listen to this "Ken" guy. He is wrong. Probably paid by Dish.
They might be able to force their contract but you also have the right to trouble free service. And you paid for a professional installation. Damaging your home is not professionalism. Get some estimates and do exactly as I stated. And dish can be beat in Court.

When you signed up for Dish service, you agreed to a two year contract for them to recover equipment and installation costs. It spells out a pro-rated early cancellation penaltyyou did read this didnt you?
ALL satellite TV service will be disrupted in really bad weather. We throw a s****.>

You CAN file a bill with your local County Grand Jury. You should also notify your Attorney General for your state.
You, can file a criminal complaint. If it sticks, some big fish will be residing in small quarters. If it doesn't, Dish Network will have the privilege of sending its high-priced lawyers to defend its unethical practices.
Also, you can recover money damages in you local small claims court. If we don't stop these scamsters now, they will continue to prey upon the average citizen, smugly assuming that no one will bother to do anything. Don't let it slide!!
