I have Comcast bundle, TV, phone and internet. What about Dish? Local installers?

[Chatbrat]

If you get Dish, insist on a corporate installer, also their hopper system is stone age-its years behind newer technology--Centurylink has wireless boxes.

Even though our house was prewired with cable that was as good as "DISH" cable--the installation supervisor insisted that "DISH" cable be snaked thru the walls & a new outlet box be installed on our kitchen counter.

That was a deal breaker- went with Centurylink

I had Comcast. Switched to DirecTV. I insisted on a pole installation not a roof installation. The installer used the existing cable already installed in the house. They have state if the art equipment.

Direct TV is not DISH

[Avista]

We have dish and are pleased with their service. Our daughter has it in another state and recommended it to us.

I had Directv and now have Dish. I am very satisfied with Dish.

I went to the store on 441 in the shopping center opposite Walmart. I spoke with Jennifer Peters, 352.553.4921.

They were having a special for new customers that was the best I've seen from anyone. Worth calling and checking for yourself.

My Dish hopper has a 2 terabyte HD with 12 tuners capable of recording up to 16 different programs at once. Does your DVR do that? I didn't think so.

They may have updated it, but I didn't want any person cutting into my walls.

Actually, the Hopper 3 has 16 tuners that can record up to 19 programs at once. They also offer wireless Joeys for additional TVs for an extra fee. I switched from DirecTV because their customer service went down the tubes after AT&T bought them out last summer. Dish offered me a 3 year price guarantee and a free year of Netflex, free install, gift card, etc. Saved me about $40 per month over DirecTV.

Does DISH have 4K? or is it still only HD?

[biker1]

1) Go to the Dish website and look.
2) Do you realize there is very little 4k material available, from any source.
