DishTV India false promise & pathetic call centre

I was informed initially while applying that if i pay monthly 300 i will get all the channels...

To my surprise i am getting only the hindi channels english channels and punjabi channels ( god knows why punjabi channels)...

1. Why cant i get all the channels if i have paid for it...
2. If there is any change in the tariff plan, why is it not communicate...

Hope Dish tv does not expect customers to keep the channel' dish interactive' on all the time to know there info...

When i called up the customer care... some parrot amit picked up saying that you were offered full channels and what you are getting is full channels expect for the others. This guy was not at all understanding, rude and no customer service knowledge... I am planning to g legal with this kind of service...

Dear Arun Kumar,

I guess you are a part of Zee Dish tv union...

1. My subject line says false promise. I was offered 3 packages.. 270 and 300 . Wherin 300 was for all channels.
2. I never opted for punjabi channels.
3. " And all this information is available on their dish interactive channel, about change of package and others." I already mentioned that they should not expected people to keep that channel on to get to know the offers. Specially when i was clearly informed about the offer i opted for.

It has been over 3 weeks since I registered a complaint with DISHTV regarding my Set Top Box. And, I think the complaint has fallen on deaf ears because, there seems to be no action taken whatsoever till date.

A lady told me that she would ask the engineer to visit my home to check the problem. And, after that, till date I haven't received any call from DISHTV regarding it.

And, that is not all. The site (www.dishtv.in) returned a HTTP error when I tried to log my complaint. I later copied the E-Mail Id furnished in the site and took pains to mail them the complaint from my personal Mail Id.

This is not just poor service, it also shows how careless, nonchalant and ludicrous the whole of DISHTV's service is.

So, on the parameters "service", "support" and "feedback", I'd give DISH TV a 0.0 / 10.

My advice to people who are looking to opt for DISH TV, please, please, don't commit that mistake. You will regret it very deeply.

Mr. Paste,

Just to tell you very clearly that first I am not a part of any union or some thing like that... and also ...

1. Please will you tell us where it has been mentioned that for Rs.300 you will got all channels (ie 170) offered by DishTV...so that if this is the case others will also be befitted with that.

2. If you have never opted for any package then by default the package is Hindi/punjabi for all.

3. Also to know latest happening you have to on that channel and have to see that... because what i came to know... is that you are not updated at all and also Please before commenting on any body try to get real fact first... and if you don't know that... then don't criticized or Blame others if they are showing you the real picture.

Dear Friend,

I think you have subscribed for Hindi/Punjabi maxi package... therefore you will get Hindi, English and Punjabi channels only... and also for a sum of Rs.300 for maxi package you will not get all channels... you will get channels as per your package that you have subscribed for.

And all this information is available on their dish interactive channel... about change of package and others.

DishTV India - renewal problems!

I tried to renew my dishtv subscription for VC No. [protected] using www.dishtv.in and ITZ dishtv cash cards worth Rs. 600. After entering the cash card details I got the message that transaction has failed. But upon checking the ITZ website I discovered that already payment has been made to DISHTV B2C. But my account does not show the 600 Rs. amount added to the balance. Beware!

Respected Sir,
I booked 4 connections for Dish TV i.e. 1 parent connection and 3 child connections on 30th October 2012. The dealer (BALAJI SANCHAR GROUP) called me and asked me to pay the money and I paid Rs 4260/- as discussed with the dealer. He promised that all the connections would be installed on 31st October 2012. I again called the dealer and asked him to cancel 1 child connection to which he readily agreed and told me that my money of 1 connection would be refunded within 2-3 days due to excess of workload. Despite calling the dealer again and again for installation of connection, there was a delay. Finally, the connections got installed on 02nd November 2012.

On 8th November 2012, one of the child connections stopped working and the status was ‘VC DEACTIVATED’. I called the customer care and he told me that my connection would be started within 24 hours. The complaint no. is [protected] and VC no. [protected]. I reported the same problem to the dealer as well as the person who installed my connections. Despite of calling customer care again and again for resolution of my problem, they made me fake promises that my problem would be solved within 24 hours. So finally I decided to get my connections removed and called customer care on 11th November 2012 to refund back my connection amount plus installation charges i.e. Rs 4260 +1150. I also emailed my problem at dishtv@customercare.in.

Till today, i.e. 17th November 2012 neither my amount has been refunded nor the connection has been activated. Moreover the customer care told me that all of my connections are individual whereas I demanded multiconnection.

The promise of solving my problem within 24 hours has been breached regularly and now it has been nearly 10 days i.e. 240 hours since my connection has remained deactivated. My amount for one connection deposited with the dealer has also not been returned so far. This thing is really frustrating me and the company and dealer are kind of mentally torturing and harassing me. Despite of emailing and calling them again and again there is solution.

Please Sir I want you to help me as the company is really very pathetic in its services. The dealer has not returned my connection amount se far despite of calling him many times. I want you to take strict action against the company and the dealer as due to their negligence in performing their own duties; I am suffering from mental torture and harassment. I want my whole amount to be refunded back. Thanking you in anticipation of a positive response.

My VC # [protected] and the complaint # [protected]. It has been pending from 4 days, neither customer care not nodal officer is acting on it. Engineer calls and gives some false excuses like he couldnt find the address, Security didn't allow him to come inside etc etc. I am not now frustrated with it.

On 8th July 2011 my account got disconnected and I made a complaint regarding the same I had given all the above mention details to her and instead of solution I got the ref num [protected] and duration of 72 hours for the resolution.
In these days Dishtv never bothered to take a proper action and I was unaware about the complete situation.
On 12th My connection got I called dishtv at 9:30 pm I talked to Vinod (CCE), Jagannath (TL), Dilip (Floor Supervisor) they committed that they will do the needful and will lodge the complain and Mr Dilip committed me that the subscription will be activated in mean while with in 2 hours. It was total fake commitment and they haven't done any thing till this time.
On 13th 16:30 I talked to nivedita she told me she will again lodge the complain and given me reference / complain number [protected]. (My Concern is what should I do with these complain number? Why should I suffer after making the payment).

Fraud ! Yes, i booked a Dish TV Set online on 21-Apr-11 and the Frauds started from that point:
1. I immediately got a call from their Online Sales divisionwho told me that if i pay online i'll get the set after 3 days, instead, if i pay cash on delivery, it'll get installed the next day however, the case will be up by Rs. 700. I agreed to pay 700 extra
2. i got the Set Top box installed the next day after i had to call various people (dealer, technician, field engineer), but to my surprise when no channels were coming even after more than 24 hrs, i checked online & called the call center to chk the status to find that the VC Number 0151xxxxxxxxx i got as a Neww Connection was alreday sold to someone else in Feb-11 & currently the connection is in Disconnection mode.

DishTV India no reception, pathetic service!

I have paid for the connection however am still not receiving any signal. the customer care refuses to help, i have called multiple times. The only response i get is wait for 4 - 24 hrs, they fail to address the fact that i have waited for more than 72 hrs! Anybody interested in buying a slightly old (hardly used, no thanks to me) dish tv...

Believe me people. Dishtv sucks. my advise to anyone who is going for DISHTV, please please please please please please don't go for it.

I've never seen such a bad customer care as DISHTV's ... it really sucks. their attitude is simply wrong. I guess they are simply selling because of sharukh khan ads..

They post sales is terrifying and their website will frustate you to maximum extent... every interaction with their customer care, will result in complete dissatisfaction.

DISSATISFACTION is guaranteed with Dishtv, it comes for free when you go for dishtv.

Since i bought ur platinum pack. Its already one month, that i paid for 6 months. But iam shocked to see the response. As it is showing, check your smartcard or call customer care. I tried both. But for few seconds the signal comes and again same thing repeats. Most shocking part is when i call customer care. It dose not take my moble no. or my Vc no. they say it is invalid. i can't understand that when i have paid 2000 Rs already then why iam not getting service.

I bought dish 2 yrs back, faced lot of problems but what iam facing now is just horrible.Even the dealer is very rude to me. So please help me.

DishTV is a fraud company. They are not a tall worried about the customers. The local dealer etech in chennai are another frauds. Never send a technician to fix the problems. They don't even pick up the mobiles. From manger Shakar to low level till tech Johnson all same irresponsible. They don't worry about the commitment they give.Such ridiculous customer care and a company.

The noida customer care technician are cheaters, they some how escalate the calls. if they are not able to provide a solution they will put us on hold for while and disconnect the calls. One Mr Suresh, Sruthi and so on.

I am only able to see a blank screen in my TV .

DishTV India non transmission of free channels!

I would like to bring to the kind notice of the board that I have purchased dish t.v. about one and half years back by paying Rs.3990/ and opted for Z TV package. From 20th June 07 suddenly telecast of all the channels stopped without any information. I immediately contacted the dishtv, they informed me to pay Rs 600/ for telecast of Free to Air channels. I told them that free to air channels are free and why are you asking money they responded very badly and told me that our policy is being changed. Since I can not see free to air channels Dish TV STB and antenna , I made request to take back STB and antenna and refund my money Rs 2499/- as given in writing by Dish TV to refund when ever we want to surrender after five years. Since the services are very poor and asking money for free to air channels I want to surrender it immediately. They have told me that they will not refund the money even after five years. For me STB and antenna is a waste. Can any one help me to suggest , how to stop the cheating activities of Dish TV in India? How to complain to government of India for charging the money for free to air channels?

Dishtv is way better then Tata sky;

1. Dishtv has maximum number of channels 240 in total.
2. Very economical packages as compared with tata sky.
3. Very economical offers.
4. Good after sales service.
5. Economical and More number of ala-carte packs and gives you a freedom to choose and pay for what you watch.
6. Very good Active Services: Like Active ICICI AND bHAKTI aCTIVE.
7. More games for children to enjoy at free of cost. where as active services are paid in tatasky.

I think Dish TV needs some serious change in attitude. They think just because you have been locked in as customers, with sunk investment, you can be treated like dirt. I am a victim of their callous attitude myself. I tell all my friends never to fall for their ad blitz. The moment you're hooked, you are cooked.

DishTV India stb not activated!

I bought the dish TV connection on world cup offer March 19th 2007, i informed the dealer to activate the STB, he said he will do it and he did not do the activation. After so many calls and follow up with the dealer and customer care center in Chennai as well in Pune i got my Dish Activated on May 7th 2007. On june 16 2007 morning i lost all the channels i called up the customer care center they told me i have to Rs.2630 to get my dish TV activated. As i already mentioned earlier that i bought the dish TV in world cup offer with free subscription for 6 months. I am every day calling the customer care in chennai & pune to activate my dish TV they say it has gone to the concerned department, but till now no action has been taken it is almost a week now.

I have lost my money... I am behind Dish TV India to activate my connection but no proper response from them

I need to sue a case against Dish TV India.

Regards,
B Kumaraguru.

DishTV India persistent problem with dish tv india

I am having persistent problems with the Dish TV at my home.

I had bought the DISH TV in Chennai from Sony World in Feb end and initially itself it took a week for the guys to come and install the Dish. Finally when it was installed and it has not yet been 3 months and I have had the Dish TV conking off twice with the "No Signal Found" problem.

The first time it got fixed in 5 days and this time around for the past one week, there has been no resolution. The service centre guys came once and promised to come the next day and have not yet turned up. Saturday, after a lot of coaxing and following up, a person showed in the night and said that the "Clamp" was gone and will come on Sunday and as expected he did not turn up!

I am frustrated with the quality of customer service that DISH TV is providing and I must say that this is really appalling how they expect to be a great provider with such a poor servicing network. I used to think that SCV is not a good option but the way things are going, I think it makes more sense to be with SCV.

I have also lost 15 days in the free 6 month WC offer thanks to these problems in the DISH and I will be the one to pay for no fault of mine. I do not know whether DISH TV will take that into consideration but considering the experience, I am sure they WILL say that it is not possible to re-reimburse and it is my ill fate.

I would want to talk to a senior person who can help me out or better explain why this is happening in my case. I am not saying that you should resolve my issue in 24 hours, but I would like more pro-activeness and responsiveness - atleast a call a day saying that there was a major pressure and so we could not turn up. Services is a tricky industry and satisfying a customer is an art and am sad to say that DISH TV service guys are really novices at that. Hope that they improve as it will be good for them only and their future customers

As for me, I have decided that I will not recommend DISH TV to anyone asking me and will give them an offer to take mine if they really want the DISH TV

It has been over 3 weeks since I registered a complaint with DISHTV regarding my Set Top Box. And, I think the complaint has fallen on deaf ears because, there seems to be no action taken whatsoever till date.

A lady told me that she would ask the engineer to visit my home to check the problem. And, after that, till date I haven't received any call from DISHTV regarding it.

And, that is not all. The site (www.dishtv.in) returned a HTTP error when I tried to log my complaint. I later copied the E-Mail Id furnished in the site and took pains to mail them the complaint from my personal Mail Id.

This is not just poor service, it also shows how careless, nonchalant and ludicrous the whole of DISHTV's service is.

So, on the parameters "service", "support" and "feedback", I'd give DISH TV a 0.0 / 10.

My advice to people who are looking to opt for DISH TV, please, please, don't commit that mistake. You will regret it very deeply.

I had taken a DISH TV VC card in January 2007 for 6 months free in CAS affected area of Vasant Kunj. They have disconnected my VC in the 3rd month and have not solved my query. There customer service executives even hung up on me. They have still not solved the problem and also the dealer is not helping.

DishTV India services is not available

This is to notify you that dishtv services have been stopped despite making a payment of Rs.900 for the month of may, june and july 2007. I lodged in the complaint with complaining number#6636376 requesting for a technician on May 8, 2007. However, no action has been taken by them till now. Whenever I have called, there is a standard line that the customer service rep has been taught the "I apologize and I understand". I have already wasted around rs.250.00 in the april 2007 to get the problem rectified. I took fifteen days for them to get the problem rectified last time. I don't know how much time is it going take right now. I do not have mtnl landline at my place and that is the reason I cannot use the toll free number that the dishtv people have provided. I am placing calls through my mobile all the time. I want to quit dishtv, however, I heard that even TATASKY is providing a pathetic service to its consumers. Please advise as my frustration level has gone sky high and I mentally exhausted.

Thanks & Regards
Surya.

Sir,

Working of your Nasik Office is extremely disgusting . One Ms taniya is not available on the phone for Hours.
I had requested to transfer my welcome package from GUjarati to Marathi on 16th oct. when she told me to keep my set on for two hours . Nothing was done . I reqested again on 18th Oct. (today) when after too much difficulty contact was made.Again she advised to keep the set on for two hrs. It did not work.

But to my misery It was difficult to contact her and the lady on other phone also was not cooperative. Ultimately after 4 hours When I complainedshe told me to contact the dealer.

She gave me customer care No. which is also never
Free.

Funny, with all your ads "Wish Karo " etc. Is this expected from your Offices?

I agree completely with the fact that DishTV service sucks big time. The package cost has been going up steadily in spite of the competition and they change the package details every so often. I took Dish Maxi for this reason and they promised that the Maxi package includes everything. But over the months they have been steadily excluding one by one so many channels that if I now want the same things I have been taking earlier for 300, I would now have to pay around 400.

Not only that, they will use the slightest opportunity to disconnect the dishtv connection and you will have to struggle with their pathetic customer service (if you can call it that) for a month to restore your connection. Everything the earlier poster said about the service people being not knowledgeable and the 48-hr wait time were completely true for me as well. What's worse, you cannot even file a meaningful online complaint because there's a 250 character limit on the complaint form! And the form itself doesn't work most of the time.

I went with DishTV because I listened to some feedback somewhere saying that DishTV was good. That was misinformation. DishTV is the worst service provider I have ever had to deal with. I would gladly switch to TataSky if only I'd heard better things about it! It's really sad that consumers in India have to be stuck with this level of poor service.

Hi Guys,

DishTV service is the worst service I have ever seen in Bangalore. In spite of calling the customer care & telling that the connection between the setup box & the cable wire is cut off also they will ask several Questions. They will say " Sir sorry Sir, sorry for keeping u on hold. Are you in front of TV setup box. What is the error it's giving Sir. that problem will be because there is not proper signal sir." & all those crap. I have already said the problem is physical. still that guys wont under stand. I guess they are trained like this. they give us 24 -48hrs of time & atleast by this time nobody turns up. Ok That is fine but not even after one week they turn up. Again after the 48hrs if we call up. they will ask for another 48hrs.

If we ask them the local support contact details, that also the call centre guys dont know, Idiots. I blame the management team. DishTV is the worst customer support in Bangalore & chennai that I have experienced.

GUYS, Before going for DISHTV & its SETUPBOX please think twice thrice...or google on any compliants on their service etc. While buying they will tell lots of good goody things. & Shahrukh spoils his name for giving an add for this DISHTV.

DISHTV SUCKS...

DishTV India pathetic service!

We had a strong wind in Ghaziabad on Sunday i.e. 6th may'07 evening. That was enough to kaput my 2 dish TV set-top boxes. Then I called customer care who said it would be fixed in 24 hrs. The next day I call up to ask why no one has come and they tell me my complaints have been resolved as per their record. pray how? By magic? They give me two more complaint numbers for my 2 set-top boxes. So now I have 4 complaint numbers for my 2 set-top boxes but does that help? No! I have to go to a neighborhood dealer, pay 300 bucks and he realigns the antenna. I tell them to put the antenna in my balcony but no that is not possible! So it is Tuesday after 48 hrs my TV is back. Is all well? No, the next day again one of my set-top boxes goes kaput. I call customer care. They f/w my old complaint number. Thursday comes. No one from dish TV yet. I call the dealer who says he will come but does not. It is now Friday and i am left wondering why the heck I bought dish TV in the first place. If you guys cannot handle simple problems why do you enter the cable TV business. I have never seen such pathetic service. My next course of action. Tell all my acquaintances to never buy Dish TV. Then broadcast all over the internet my awful experience so that people get a lesson not to buy Dish ever.

No thanks to Dish TV,
A disgruntled customer.
Ranjit Datta.

Dish TV gets disconnected for half of the time.Recharge date shows something as against actual recharge date and we need to call the customer care to get it rectified.The card gets dislodged and we need to give a call.Dish TV says not recharged even if already recharged and we need to give a call.They do not have a tollfree number also instead want us to send an sms asking them to call us and this sms is charged and they would not call us back.If we call they would say that the system is slow and would make us hold for a longtime saying that they are checking.Finally with no guidance they would say if you are unable to do we would send a technician who would charge you Rs 150+s tax+other charges.Easy money minting technique.They can very well give a disclaimer like mutual funds and life insurance that old people availing such facility would have to shell out money every week as such problems are likely to arise and connection not advisible for people who are not technicians as they should know to repair their connection every now and then .useless service. phone number [protected]

DishTV India - blocked free-to-air channels by dish tv!

Dish TV is using all dirty tricks for fleecing the customer. If customer wants to see only free-to-air channels, gradually dish TV starts blocking these channels too for example they have blocked 'Aj Tak' and Star Utsav under the garb of 'signal not available'. Beware people!

DishTV India poor service: abnormal delay in activation

I happen to be one of those hapless consumers in India, who has been really taken for a ride by DISH TV India as also its dealers and the so called Customer care.

Dish TV India apparently believes in the real definition of KUSHT MAR (alias Customer, in their parlance). I had paid one of the Ahmedabad's dealers a sum of Rs 4,115/- for installation of a Dish TV Connection at my residence. The Dealer made it a point to encash the cheque right the next morning at 10 : 05 AM (right about the time the banks open) however, on his own sleepy pace and after a lot of cajoling, landed up with the Equipment on 14th April, and that too after a lot of cajoling and coaxing. I thought that my ordeal was over, but alas, little did I know that it was only a beginning.

Even after a lot of chasing with their customer care as also with the dealer, till date (25th April), the sloppy company has not yet activated the Connection. Mr Dealer has now stopped taking my phone calls and the Customer care cares too hoots about ones complaints. I made it a point that the Customer care gives me a complaint number also, but even after lodging a complaint and getting the number on 15th of April, they have hardly done anything in this regard and i still have their Equipment installed like a White Elephant in my house without any activation. This despite the fact that the Customer care executives, in their own sweet glib talk, keep on boasting that the connection gets activated within 24 hours of the Connection.

So poor is their follow up on the grievances that the customer care doesn't even give an automated response on its official Customer care email ID in response to the mails sent from the Customers End.

With the kind of poor response the firm gives to the Customers, I would advise all the prospective Customers to be wary of the services and the tall claims made by the Company. Its been 15 days that the money has been paid and there has been no service activation at all at this end.

The Customer care is poorly organized and there is hardly any follow up on the same at Dish TV's end.

PEOPLE BEWARE!

I shifted from Tata-sky to Dish TV during May,2007. I think I made a mistake. The Dish TV signals are extremely poor and are not suitable for viewing onlarge screen TVs. The signal strength is only about 50%.

I wish the Dish TV management does something to improve the signal quality fast lest they may start losing customers to Tata-Sky or other newcomers.

DishTV India non transmission of free channels which are mandatory as per the norms of government of india!

I would like to bring to the kind notice of the board that I have purchased dish t.v. about one and half years back by paying 4200/ rupees and opted for telugu channel package. After one year, I opted for monthly payment of subscription and had paid the same for 3 months. During 3rd month the telecast was stopped without any default from my side. I immediately contacted the dishtv, they informed that their records were not updated and would restore the same within 24 hours. The same was restored after 24 hours. The subscription rates were enhanced and I was never informed of the same. So far, I have not received even a single communication from dishtv either for my bill payment or for any other matter. I got vexed and contacted dishtv and asked them to telecast only free channels, which are mandatory as per the norms of government of India. The free channels were aired for some time and stopped. When contacted they said they told that they would not telecast and spoke to me in a rude manner. I told them I would proceed legally for which they asked me to do whatever I wish to do. I sent a legal notice through my advocate on receipt of which they had started telecasting the free channels. And now, all of a sudden again they have telecasting the same. This is very poor service from Dish Tv in India!

This is to bring to your kind notice that I have purchased a Dish TV from M/S. Neeru Electronics, 2, Main Market, Malviya Nagar New Delhi -110017 dated the 14th April 08, the invoice number for the same is 13166, book number A-264 and the price was Rs 3, 200/-. The warranty for the Dish Tv was for a period of one year from the date of purchase. The copy of the bill and the warranty card is annexed alongwith my complaint.

The same day late evening, my installation at ¼, Sector – 1, Pusph Vihar, New Delhi –110017 was completed, by the time the technician left it was around 9.30 at night, and they hurriedly left. Later on switching on the television I discovered that I could not receive around 15-20 channels and many channels were not clear.

This problem became more serious as a result of which many channels were not available and those that were available were not clear due to which it was not possible to view them. I made a complaint for this at the Dish TV customer care in the fourth week of April, the reference number for the same is [protected], and after two days somebody came and left without rectifying my problem.

Again, I lodged another complaint at the customer care, the complaint number for the same is [protected], on 8th of May. A technician came to my place after two days, but could not rectify the problem again and asked me to write that my LNV is not working in his job card, he assured me he would replace it, he left by saying that he would bring this to the notice of his seniors at the service centre at Malviya Nagar Khirki Extension. He also informed me that my problem will be sorted out only on Monday as that was a Saturday. He left by saying that he requires to change the LNV.

Nothing till today has happened, I have been waiting for the technicians to come and do the needful. When I ran out of patience, I called the dish TV service centre on the following numbers [protected]/[protected], on Tuesday dated, the 13th May 2008, but the response that I got was very cold from there, the person misbehaved with me and said that we cant replace your LNV, if we do replace then I have to make another payment of Rs.200/- for the new one. I informed him about the new connection with warranty, but all my efforts went in vain.

Again during the 14th & 15th May I made regular calls, and each time the person would say he would make it done by the same day, but no technician turned up at my place. I have also made a call at Neeru Electronics, at Malviya Nagar, he called up somebody but even his efforts did not help me out. Later no follow up was made from Neeru Electronics.

Another complaint was lodged at the customer care the complaint number is [protected] but even on this complaint no action whatsoever was taken by Dish TV. Dish TV has made no efforts to address my grievances and has supplied me with a faulty set.

There has been a grave deficiency in the services of Dish Tv to the effect that they have supplied me with a Dish Tv set which is malfunctioning and faulty and is not working properly. Inspite of my repeated requests and complaints, Dish Tv has taken no effort to rectify the problem till date and have instead completely ignored my complaint.

I would request that in view of the above the Dish TV should be either replaced or in the alternate a refund of the price of the Dish Tv set which is Rs. 3, 200/- should be given to me.

I would further like to request you to give me suitable compensation for all the mental, physical torture that I have undergone due to the misbehavior of Dish TV and also provide me the cost of the complaint.

With Warm Regards

The Dish TV India has cheated me by blocking the set top box and thus denying access to FTA channels.This is clearly against TRAI regulation which says:

THE DIRECT TO HOME BROADCASTING SERVICES STANDARDS OF QUALITY OF SERVICE AND REDRESSAL OF GRIEVANCES) REGULATIONS, 2007. NO. 8 of 2007

The Regulation no. 8 in Chapter II which says:

8. Prohibition to disable Direct to Home Set Top Boxes.----- In case the
direct to home subscriber does not owe any dues ( including any arrear
towards installments of hire purchase scheme or arrears of rent for the Direct
to Home Customer Premises Equipment of such operator) to a direct to home
operator, such operator shall not disable the Direct to Home Set Top Box of
such subscriber who does not intend to continue to opt or avail direct to
home services offered by such direct to home operator and uses or intends to
use the Direct to Home Customer Premises Equipment for viewing the direct
to home services of Doordarshan or any other direct to home operator.

They have used the DD's packages for promotion purposes and now they are cheating customers by blocking the set top box.

My VC No [protected], I wanted Q-TV channel on Dish TV
which the company is not providing me, previously this
channel was available on dish TV, I have given email but co.
is not replying. Due to non availabilty of Q-TV Iam not renewed
my subscription due to which all free to air channels were blocked along with paid channels. This is not fair, govt. has
announced that free to air channels should invariably made
available to all subscribers whether they subscribe or not.
Please forward my complaint to dish TV India.

Re: Dish TV India

I fully agree with most of the complaints. I had subscribed to dish tv only with the idea of watching 'god tv' and other relevant christian channels but unfortunately you have stopped telecasting them though they are free to air channels. Why? I feel you are biased in a democratic country like ours. These channels have been a great help in our daily walk of life. The programs encourages us to be positive in our daily life and make us better citizens of our country. Moreover the prayers offered on these channels for the sick and dying are remarkable. My humble request with folded hands is to restart these channels immediately once again. Thanks in anticipation.

I too had the same problem with dishTV as at the time of purchase there was one package named Dish Freedom (Hindi/Punjabi ) in which one has to pay Rs75 /- per month for Zee + Sony + along with other channels including free channels now on query I am told that package have been revised to Rs 100/- but without Zee+Sony and other lucrative channels. Is this not CHEATING?

My v c no is [protected]. I purchased a stb in the month of november from patna. After one month my some of the channels has been discontinued. I contacted over phone to customer care. The customer care informed that you have taken welcome offer so u will not be able to view all the channel. After three months my all the channels has been discontinued. I contacted customer care to transmit the free channel the customer care told me that you will have to pay then the free channels has to be provided.

But at the time of purchase i was told that u will able to view the free channels. I will suggest plz never think to bye stb from dish tv its a great cheater for customer. Never never bye a product from dish tv. Because i have seen a same kind of complaint from d narsimha gautam dated 13.03.2007, when he complained same type of treatment was done by dish tv but after serving a legal notice the dish tv started transmission of free channels. I also mentioned to customer care but the dealing person was not even ready to listen me. I also arranging to serve a legal notice by consulting the broad casting authority.

DishTV India irresponsible service

I have been trying to get my channels activated for the past 3 days and every time i talk to their service center I'm told it will take another 24 hrs.

All you people trying to subscribe to the DISH TV service, please stay away. They do not have a proper complaint management system. The guys sitting there are just playing with some tools and have no clue whats going on. They don't care if you are getting the service or not. Every time you want to talk to their supervisor, you are told they are busy. And they will call you back. No one has called back since last 3 days.

I seriously would not recommend their service at all. Its just a nightmare. Just try calling their customer service number and you would know what i am talking about.

I fully agree with the complaints voiced by the Dish Tv customers. I got my dish tv connection during their launch days. A guy who represented their local dealer called Bhaskar Rao ( Bangalore ) collected the advance amount promptly after inspecting the installation site. After a long wait, he sent his technical head one goonda called Thomas to install the dish. That guy came around 9 pm with no tools and was asking for even a screw driver from me. He struggled for a few hours and finally walked out saying since Im living in an apartment and my house dosent face the east, I wont be able to get the signal at all. When I argued, the goonda tried to take the SB card and leave. Fortunately, I was alert enough to get it from him. Next day, I could catch up a local guy and got it installed in just half an hour though I had to shell out some money.I wrote to dish tv to refund the installation charges since I did the installation through another technician. No action from dishtv as was expected.The service is pathetic. I wish Shah Rukh Khan makes a visit to each of us being cheated by dish tv, before he actually endorses dishtv.

Whoever is planning for a new connection, please go ahead and buy tatasky. Dont ever think of dishtv.

I am sure unless they vastly improve their services, they will be out of the market very soon.

Hello All Subscribers of DishTV of India,

I am one of the unfortunate customer (sure they have too many) who would like to keep all who have subscribed for "DISHTV" as pls think before u continue as a subscriber, since last one year i am a member & repenting to be one. The services that they (DISHTC) are rendering to the Customers by are just horrible & it's a nightmare when you call their so called Customer care. I am scared to call the Customer care (SO CALLED) of DishTV, as instead of resolving problems they give you more problems. They will make you wait for 15 minuets + to listen to your one query but they will not resolve your query at all when you ask them, they would just give u a complaint number for your query & that is all after that all is forgotten about your problems.

1) Since Spet'06 even after paying the subscriptions, every week the paid Channels (STAR CHANNELS) would be cut off, on calling to check with them they would not give you any reason, but would tell you to to keep your set box on for 24 hrs on one particular channel, you do so & find nothing has happened, Sio again you call them , again the so called parrots of dishTV would come online, they would again give a complaint no. & tell you to do the same thing again. After a week then we would find the channels working. Again after a month the same story is repeated as you find the channels are disconnected again. Pls note this is still going on every month for 1 week.

2) To my bad luck I have one more connection & there too the same problem.

3) Now that I have shifted the two connects & had requested for multichannel scheme, I have requested this on Mar'23rd 2007 wide email, I get an email saying that my payments are due so they cannot do this before I pay (this is the only email I have received so far from them, as it was related to their payments), i informed them that since there are two connection in my name the other channel account had a balance credit of Rs 900/- & that they should deduct that account for the required 1 month subscription. After checking the account today I find that they have deducted that amount from one of my accounts which had credit but yet have not converted to Multiconnections. So I called them today afternoon again, asking as when this would be done as I had requested this on 23rd Mar'07. To my surprise the Parrort (Call center rep.) of DishTV states that we are giving you a complaint number & it will be done. No reason given as why this has not been action for last 3 weeks, You ask for supervisors, they same answer you get every time, they are busy? wonder doing what? As not one complaint are they able to resolve properly.

Till now they have not converted my two connections two multi connections but have collected the payment dues promptly.

So friends & subscribers please be careful while dealing with customer care of DishTV.

Nitin Shahade.

I have paid Dish TV for Maxi Plan which is suppose to show me all the channels they have. I am not receiving even half of the channels for which they have charged me. Even after so many complaints there is no response form their side. It has already been a month regarding this problem and despite so many complaints to the service centre and customer care there has been no action. They are charging me for the services which they are not even bothered to deliver. Very poor service!

Yes, It is true. Pl. don't go for DISH TV. The customer service is very bad. They are using the customer care to disturb the subscribers.

They will disturb you daily by calling you or sending SMS to your mobile to pay the subscription charges, even if you pay regularly.

Please don't give your phone number to them. They are absolute NON-SENSE people.

DishTV India most ridiculous service

I have moved from Gurgaon to Hyderabad. I am desperately trying to contact DISTV call center for installation. They promised big things like moving is piece of cake etc etc. Now, I talked to them on 1st of March, they said someone will contact me within 24 hours but, no one turned up yet.

I tried the call center number [protected] , [protected]) and no one is picking the call (either it say sorry phone busy or sorry no one is picking up). First time faced situation like this.

After continuously trying for Five days, I called the Noida number (STD for me). Someone pickup the call when I asked him why no one turned up answer was, wee have sent it to dealer they did not come, what can we do?

Huh what can we do means? He then told me he is forwarding my call to senior executive. I waited for 3 minutes no one picked up the phone.

In this duration I have sent them two mails but, did not get any reply. See the mails below. Don't go by the promises this is first hand experience of buying DISHTV and moving with it. It's horrible. I am going to through it and take some cable service or might give a try to TATA SKY.

I am DISh TV subscriber VC number is XXXXXXXX. This is a new connection installed in Gurgaon in October. In December, I was suppose to move out of Gurgaon. That is why I did not make the payment. I was not sure whether I'll continue with DISH TV or not.

Now, I moved to Hyderabad and fixed my mind to continue with DISH TV. I talked to one dealer last week Ravi Electronics, Koti, Hyderabad (Ph - [protected]). He asked 300 RS for installation. That was surprising, as DISH TV claims 200 for installation and that was the charge in Gurgaon. Here in Hyderabad it seems dealers lobby exists.

I agreed for paying 300 RS, finding no alternate as other dealers also quoted the same amount. Finally after two days, he sent one person who couldn't do the installation because he came without drill machine. By the way, that person was looking like completely untrained person.

Then two days back on 27th Feb 07, I talked to DISH TV customer care center [protected]. Got the complain number XXXXXXX. I was told within 24 hours engineer will come and install the DISH.

About payment, I told the customer care executive, the moment it gets installed I'll pay for my subscription. As your engineer shall give me the feel of service provided by DISH TV. Now it's more than 48 hours no one contacted me.

I am trying the above number since yesterday (28.02.07). either it shows busy or no one is picking up the phone? I got another number from net [protected] but, faced the same response.

2nd Mail

Hi

Are you guys suppose to reply or not? Today, I called your noide number (STD call for me). The customer care executive simply asked me to hold while he transfer the call to senior executive. Because, I asked him whose responsibility was to track the dealer and send a person to my place for installation. He transferred the call I waited for 3 Minutes no one picked the call.

Now, it's time. I should tell you that I am going to drag DISH TV in the consumer court. This mail shows I am trying to contact DISH TV desperately but, not getting any response from DISTV.

Quality of Dish TV customer service is bad. They say that all dealers accept cash /cheque and their Hyd office says that only two dealers in Hyd accept the payments. Their web service is pathetic. Most of the pages give errors. Payment by credit card on the web is a big joke. Most of the times it gives errors and some times when it throws errors the payment gets processed. Figure it out.. Worst payment gateway that I have seen.. Kudos to dish TV India.
