We just had Dish installed today because one of their representatives misled my mom into believing they had TFC. Once installation was finished and we realized that there were less channels than what we had with DirectTV, my mom complained. the technician apologized and informed us that we had 30 days for free disconnection if we were unhappy with their service. my mom called their customer service and that’s where the trouble started. the first representative didn’t know which channels they had so my mom asked for a supervisor. the supervisor then rudely told my mom that it would cost us $400 to disconnect because of early contract termination (even though the representative earlier said that we had 30 days to cancel without a fee). the supervisor then threatened to automatically bill the fee to the credit card my mom was using and when my mom said that she would block that transaction, the supervisor said that they’d have a credit and collection company deal with us and the icing on the top was when the supervisor HUNG UP on my mom! GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE DISH NETWORK!!! my mom called back and after 2 hours on the phone and alot of frustration on her part, she ended up talking to the executive department which agreed to terminate our contract without a fee. you may have alot of channels over DirectTV but the way you deal with your customers is a shame. i’ve searched alot of sites regarding why TFC isn’t on DISH (some dating back to 2003) and they keep telling their customers they’ve gotten alot of requests but til now you still don’t have it…and your agents suggested to my mom that we should wait until you get it on your network since you’ve gotten alot of requests. i wonder what year that’ll be?!

I would love to switch to Dish and the TV on the go is great but as long as they don’t have TFC I am stuck with DireTV. A shame.

Same here TFC is one of the reasons why we chose Direct TV.

You would aquire many more Filipino if you carried the TFC. TFC is the reason that I had to leave Dish. TFC is the reason I am being held hostage to DirectTV. My wife and every other Filipino I know watch TFC. In fact, I would bet that 90 to 95 percent of Filipinos have Direct TV for this reason.

Cool! There are actually a lot of interesting shows back in the Philippines. Especially their gag shows.

great info…I didn’t know DISH had so many international channels. Do their standard programming packages include any international content?
