The person also said maybe since I am having all these problems it may be wiring in my home. I told her that maybe the people who recondition the boxes should test them before sending them back out, rather then sending me someone elses problems.
An idea: If you're keeping detailed records of all your problems and issues with Dish, maybe presenting all that to their Customer Service folks would get you a green light to bail out with no penalty fees. Might not hurt to try if you're about at the end of your rope with them.
