That is crazy, how do you make an at home antenna? I need one! I have been on dish for a little over a year now and I lost my job [they never ran me a credit check, fyi] and I have to cancel. They shut it off all I get is infomercials and I tried to cancel they said it is $120 to cancel and I already owe them $170. I said 'Ok, single mom here, no job I can't afford to pay you the balance so you will charge me anoth 120 if I don't pay in ten days?" It is messed up, what sense does that make? They defintley don't work with you on the money part of it. Speaking of credit...I am taking a lashing for this one.

Know about Dish Network disconnect Scams when your agreement term is met.
 
After 18 months of subscribing to 100 channels of mostly reruns at Dish Network I chose to disconnect as the contract term was met.
First I found there is no way to disconnect thru their website(you could only buy more options there), I called them on 4/7/2008 to
disconnect , there you'll end of talking to an operator who does not take no for answer and insists on asking all sort of questions
about why and when you tell that you are not using it quickly want to get your agreement on holding the service for you another
6 months not mentioning there is a $10/mo charge for it till last minute after you agreed to hold. Refusing the hold option the operator
finally agrees to disconnect as of 5/3/2008, no charges are due but I am required to send back their receiver in a box they send me
within 10 days after 5/3/2008(account # is 8255909339772078).
On 4/20/2008 I received my new monthly dish network bill of $61.45 for 5/3/2008 to 6/2/2008 instead of disconnect they raised the
$49.99 monthly due to $61.45.
Filed a complaint thru BBB and hoping to get rid of dish network subscription ordeal one way or another.
