Quote HistoryQuoted:
I used to work for a satellite company but I cannot say which one. The customer service rep's response on the Facebook page is honest - they cannot do work without someone calling to request a dispatch. In this scenario the person who initially requested the install would have to call to make a request to uninstall. For those suggesting to destroy Dish's property, I would advise against do so as it is not your property to remove or damage. You may find yourself in court explaining why you did such a thing. And to everyone saying it was vandalism or trespassing, it was not. Dish was just participating in honest business with no intent for malice. The mishap is NOT a criminal matter and is a similar matter. I would suggest to the gentleman experiencing the issue to take a deep breath before doing anything irrational. As much as it stinks, he needs to follow the proper process to get it removed. End of story. I am getting a good laugh at the folks suggesting for him to sue. Dish has deeper pockets than he does unless he is independently wealthy and should the guy decide to take legal action will go broke before he sees someone come out to remove it. Any chance he would have had by playing nicely with their process would be totally ruined by doing so, and Dish would likely bankrupt him in the process. Sending bills, sending debt collectors for the unpaid bills he will most likely refuse to pay. Other nasty things. I don't think it would come to putting a lien on his house, but it's entirely possible if Dish wants to screw him badly enough. Bottom line, be courteous and respectful or it will come back to bite him. Accidents happen. And I would also question why the man didn't have the smarts to put up a fence, gate and have security cameras monitor his property if he wanted to avoid this type of circumstance. No harm, no foul. Fuck that. If you put a dish up on MY house without my permission I'm cutting the fucking wires and taking that bitch down. |

Off to fortify the homefront to protect against wayward Dish installers. While I'm at it I may as well position a few Claymores in case the FedEx guy strays from the sidewalk leading to the porch. |

LOL
I have just about seen it all, regarding satellite dish installation. I have been doing it for over 20 years. I have never seen a dish installed on the neighbor's house without permission. That doesn't mean that I doubt it could happen. Just grab a 7/16" wrench, climb up there, loosen the mast clamp bolts, and twist the dish out of alignment a 1/2" or so. The neighbor will be calling DISH for service within a day or two, at most. |

Hmmmmm Post #1 for this, I'm gussing that you: 1. Work for Dish Network 2. Are the person that installed it. As for your other derp 1. If the dish is on my property without my permission and roof damage occured (holes drilled) to install it, it woud be removed and as for the disposition of the equipment, as you said "accidents happen" 2. Also why should the account holder have to call, if the dish is on MY property without MY permission. 3. An employee of Dish Network should have the brains to realize if he is at the right house or not. |

Wow this thread ran off the tracks pretty quick. I was reading along thinking damn this sounds like something that would happen here. Then I see the "victim" is in Christiansburg. Let me guess, its one of the Woodyville town homes.
When I saw the posts from the "former employee" I immediately thought either we are getting trolled hard from a retread, or Nor_cal needs to take a look at the IP address to see if its a Dish employee posting from work. Either way, I agree its not a criminal matter but I would be making damn sure that Dish saw the error of their ways. Saying that the customer service rep cannot do anything without the account owner contacting them is bullshit. They can get in touch with the installer to rectify the problem. The homeowner did not contract the work. Its not her responsibility to track them down. Dish's name is on the device, they should be held responsible for taking care of it. The device should be removed and the holes repaired immediately. I would love to see photos of the install in relation to the houses to see why they thought this was a good idea. |

So if you went ahead and removed it, then when dish comes out to figure out the issue, couldn't you just say "sorry, I dont have Dish network...so why would I have a dish?" Seems a logical statement as when they went to the owners house, it would be a hard sell to say" yeah, my dish is on that guys house". Than again, why not just go to your neighbors house and have him call in a work order a d be done with this?

If you plan to have someone else do it and send them the bill, good luck getting it paid. If you're going to go that route you should just wait for them to come remove it and then pay a professional at your own expense. It would certainly be cheaper than a lawyer at $500/hr. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I surely wouldn't want some Dish guy removing the dish and "fixing" your roof. You would be lucky to get a dab of clear caulk that will leak in a week, or maybe just some bonus ridge vent holes for your trouble. No thanks.

Send Dish Network a demand letter (registered mail, return receipt) to remove the equipment and repair the damage caused by their contractor. Outline the tort and give them 10 days to respond or you will have it removed and seek damages. I bet they call you once they get the letter.
If they don't respond, pay a professional to remove it, make repairs to the roof, and any other task required to make you whole. Then send them the bill. If they don't pay, then it is off to small claims court. You will get a judgement from the Judge which you can make collection from; but I drought it will go that far. The key is don't get emotional, keep calm. |

The "victim" and myself both live in Christiansburg. This is not a townhome build by Mr. Woody. She has also tried to contact the owner of the home it SHOULD have been installed on as well as the people renting it. Neither have replied. Surprising as he has built a lot of them in the area. I was curious as some of them are under HOA's to share the roof repairs etc but I saw the other post saying no HOA. I am betting that the installer just assumed that was the case and did not verify it was ok to put the dish up. |

1st post. The answer to the question "Does Dish Network actively search online for their name?" is yes. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
I used to work for a satellite company but I cannot say which one. The customer service rep's response on the Facebook page is honest - they cannot do work without someone calling to request a dispatch. In this scenario the person who initially requested the install would have to call to make a request to uninstall. For those suggesting to destroy Dish's property, I would advise against do so as it is not your property to remove or damage. You may find yourself in court explaining why you did such a thing. And to everyone saying it was vandalism or trespassing, it was not. Dish was just participating in honest business with no intent for malice. The mishap is NOT a criminal matter and is a similar matter. I would suggest to the gentleman experiencing the issue to take a deep breath before doing anything irrational. As much as it stinks, he needs to follow the proper process to get it removed. End of story. I am getting a good laugh at the folks suggesting for him to sue. Dish has deeper pockets than he does unless he is independently wealthy and should the guy decide to take legal action will go broke before he sees someone come out to remove it. Any chance he would have had by playing nicely with their process would be totally ruined by doing so, and Dish would likely bankrupt him in the process. Sending bills, sending debt collectors for the unpaid bills he will most likely refuse to pay. Other nasty things. I don't think it would come to putting a lien on his house, but it's entirely possible if Dish wants to screw him badly enough. Bottom line, be courteous and respectful or it will come back to bite him. Accidents happen. And I would also question why the man didn't have the smarts to put up a fence, gate and have security cameras monitor his property if he wanted to avoid this type of circumstance. No harm, no foul. no doubt. and i can guarandamtee the dishnet shill handling this type of thing is in a department much closer to directv's legal counsel than regular customer service. youd think they would realize that if ANY case was, then this one is most appropriate for an executive escalation. youd think they would just IM the op the procedure to do this. but noooooooooo, tow that damn line ETA: since someone confessed to being full of shit, then this should also apply to the dishnet employees posting on FB. They should be the ones to send this particular issue up to executive escalations. but instead of taking the decent path, dish network customer service says: "Were not happy until you're not happy" |

does this not make sense to anyone else? wouldn't the installer have had to put the dish up on the house and then finish wiring the equipment by entering the proper house? something about this seems odd. BS story. |

Perfectly plausible that the installer walked a little further for a better spot/signal and ended up above someone else's unit. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
What about wrap the dish in tin foil. Repeated service calls, tell them to leave they are trespassing, rinse and repeat. Just unscrew the coax from the dish and wait for the contractor to show up for the service call. Tell him to remove the damn thing from your property. DId they literally install it ON your roof, as in through the roofing material, or did they eave mount it? |

If you put a dish up on MY house without my permission I'm cutting the fucking wires and taking that bitch down. this guy is acting as if he is an attorney because he worked for some dish or tv company  Common sense will tell you and any other internet ninja you wont be able to nail dish for trespassing but if you pursue it you will be able to get them to re-imburse for any shingle or surface damage. Yet - Basically you will have spent more in your time and if you do so on attorney than it would cost you to just un mount the dish (poster is wrong - you can remove it) and fix any shingle damage yourself and toss the dish next to neighbors house.
Then, if you post a sign that says do not TRESSPASS or attach anything to this structure sign - THEN you may have a suit if they do it again. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Sorry all just to clarify, I only used to work for said company years ago. I left because the customer service department I worked in was terrible. I don't side with the company but telling you that they can get nasty if they want and I saw a lot of questionable things while I was there that's all. Didn't mean to start off on the wrong foot. But it really isn't a criminal matter. If it was, who would walk away in hand cuffs? The subcontracted installer? Probably not. A dish executive? No way. It would be hard to hold anyone accountable and that's why I suggested to play nice with their process to spare the emotional and legal headache. DUDE - STFU. Just saw where you posted you lied just to bullshit. Probably should seek attention on another site. You wont last long here. |

Can't tell, is it mounted into the eave or into the shingles?
Looks like she needs a new roof either way.

I would assume so, and I wouldn't have moved into something like that without one. But if no one told the installer, it would have been easy to make that mistake. |

Was this ever established to be a single family residence? For all we know this is a condo where the roof is property in common. In condos, you don't always own the roof directly above you, everyone in the building does.
Need more info. |
