I have been a customer of Dish corporation for9+ years.Because I live in rural area,I can only watch TV by satelite due to mountians ,near my dwelling.I was sold on HD tv system offered by dish, they charged  me $100 extra for my hd tv dvr receiver and had to give my 2 receivers that I had paid to a local dish distributor for $350+ dollars.I also learned after that I was bound for 2yr's by contract,(in the very small print) that the installer said that they didn't fill out in the contract they had me sign.Also they forgot to send the Green HD cable, so he could not complete the HD DVR installation,he called the dish main office to request the cable,they told him and myself ,that I didn't need it for HD reception.After many calls and many supervisors/managers later,they finally agreed to send replacement,but I would have to install it myself. After all of this, under threat of contract breachment I have used my receiver with only moderate problems,I completed 2 years use.ON day 730 they called me saying that since I was such a good longtimed customer,they offered me a free 3month hbo/showtime/stars programing , that I could call and cancel after 3 months,but after they offered me once before a fee month with the same cancel notice offer.Remembering a 2yr contract that I was offered before, that I was'nt told about before, I asked representative if I would be bound to a 2yr HD programing contract, they said I would be, and after being charged for my last offer of 1 month of free of HBO,that I had so much trouble getting my bill fixed from that nightmare before. I reccomend with some reservations the HD DVR model#VIP622 DVR from Dish company.
