[Resolved]  Dish TV — Poor customer service

August 17th 2010
I contacted Dish satellite company 30 days ago to upgrade service on 4 receivers in my residence to HD and equipment. One standard receiver had been replaced in 2009 with HD because 7 year old one quit working. And they wanted to Charge me $100 to do it, until I told them I would go to Directv before I would pay charge.
So I asked for another HD receiver and 2 new standard receivers too replace equipment that was 7 years old. Representative(s) at time would only agree to 1 Hd receivers with a new 2 year contract. Reps I talked to would not replace other 2 receivers. Why would I sign a 2 year contract on equipment that was 7 years old with remotes wearing out, and with knowing the previous year the problem I had getting a receiver replaced .
The billing cycle ended on 19th of each month, so I am having Directv installed on 19th to not create another problem with billing issues. Called Dish Tv today to cancel and talked to 2 reps trying to talk me out of canceling .Transferred to a 3rd rep who now offers to upgrade all equipment. I do not do business that way !
Now they are sending me boxes to send back equipment at $15.00 PER RECEIVER....................If you are going to do business with Dish Tv be prepared to BARTER . They will not be willing to satisfy a customer's needs until you go to a competitor

you go to a competitor

The customer support of dish tv is very poor. The customer care numbers are very busy and once u get connected, then there is no module for registering our specific problems as there is no module for talking to customer support executive as IVRS deals with only specific problems but customer have to strive hard to even get basic services activated... The customer care numbers are often not working and SMS module directs you to a different level of problem.

Dish TV — Poor customer care and problem in using basic services

Dear Sir
I have dish TV connection (VC No. [protected] registered under my Name: Rakesh Prasher)
I have ordered a la carte pack ( Howzzat 650)atleat 4 times through SMS, but it is giving strange message that u are already sudscribed to this service but channel No. 659 star cricket is giving message that to subscribe to this channel dial customer care No.
About customer care No. least said better, No are busy and luckly i[censored] get lines then only IVRS comes which does not accepts the entered value and there is no module for talking to customer care executive. My recharge is through RF ITZ cash card, then also i am unable to order the service i.e. a la carte pack...
i am tired up of doing so from last two days...
Kindly arrange to make basic customer care facilities user friendly

Hi,
This is a complaint made about a week ago as we have no reception since last Sunday. We tried calling customer service but none of them is working and if it does it says its busy so call after some time. Finally by gods grace we have been able to get some customer service associate's number and asked him to get it fixed. Looks like Dish TV and the associate's doesn't want to be helpful. Its been a week and we are still waiting for him to fixed the issue. Every time we call this associate, he says he will come but don't know when. Here are the customer care number which the have given. These numbers are of no use if we really want to make/lodge a complaint. All the options given are of waste.

Sir,
Sub: copy of the mail sent to dishtv customer servicde

We have been using Dish TV for the pasr 6 years.But today I'm cursing myself for
subscribing to Dish TV. Due to renovation work;the dish antenna got disturbed.We placed a
service request on 08/09/2011.One of your technician came to attend the problem.He was not
carrying any equipment required to solve the problem.He took Rs 165.00 as service charges an
dwent away without doing anything.Since then every day we get a call from one of your
technician saying that he will be coming within an hour but never turned up.When one day we
uorselves colled him, he told us that we should place another request with the call centre.But
till today(17/09/2011),8:30 PM nobody turned up.Today I have got calls from your call centre
asking us confirm our details.One person even went to the extent of asking us whether we have
the necessary permission to install the antenna.This is rediculous.We are really irritated
with the callous attitude of your company towards a long standing customer.I think it is high
time we withdraw from Dish TV since this is not the first time we are treated like this.I am
not only going to withdraw my subscription,I'm also going register my complaint with TRAI.Hope
this mail gets a positive response.Pl remember DTH is not your monopoly.There are
competitors.If this is how Dish TV is going to treat its customers,I'm afraid one day you will
lose your customers.

I am writing this Email to you after frustrated with the Service from Dish TV Customer Care

I had purchased Dish TV Set Top Box (With Recorder) in the Month of Oct’12
Recently it was not working and I called the Customer Care and registered a Complaint
(Compliant No. is[protected].) They told me that the compliant will be resolved within 24 Hrs.
On 23rd, I got a call from 1 technician stating that currently Set Top Box is not available and they will come and install either on 24th or 25th.

Till 25th Night nothing was heard from the technician. Hence again I called up Customer Service and asked what is the status for the Compliant No.[protected]. They told that the complaint got closed stating the reason as “Set Box out of Stock”. It was quite surprise that a complaint is closed without providing any SOLUTION.

I really got frustrated and asked as how you can close the complaint without giving any resolution. But there is no proper reply for that.

Again as usual they raised another Compliant (No.[protected] on 25th and PROMISED me that they will install on 26th before 12.00 Noon at any cost. So I kept my hopes alive. But again they proved me that I am wrong.

Neither the Set Top Box was installed nor did nobody call up before 12.00 Noon on 26th. At last Dish TV Customer care Team voluntarily called me for the FIRST TIME and asked me the status. Just imagine what will be my reaction. I said nobody came so far. As a routine process, they apologized and told me that they will escalate (God only knows to whom they are escalating)

Then I got a call from the Technician stating that the Box is out of Stock and they cannot give me an Exact Date as when they will come and install it. Today 28th, I am still waiting for a call either from Dish TV Customer care or from the Technician to update the status as how long I need to wait (Nothing else can be done from my side)

I need few clarifications:
How you can close a complaint WITHOUT giving any Solution

If there is no Stock of Set-Top Box without Recorder, how long it will take you to manufacture
How you will give Set-Top Box to New Customer. (Will you provide immediately or you will inform the New Customer that we cannot provide Set-Top box with Recorder)

I am sure you will provide immediately, because it is Income for your Company. But you leased bother about the existing Customer

I still don’t understand why it cannot be brought from other city to Chennai (It won’t take more than 2 days). But my complaint in unanswered till date.
