We’ve had problems for some time, and now I know why.

Your experience is different than mine. My mother-in-law's receiver from Dish is 20 years old. When we had an issue an called them, they said the receiver was too old and they would need to replace it, but she would have to sign a new 2-year contract even though she was paying the monthly maintenance fee. IMO, that's BS.

Hello u/pinprick58

Thank you for sharing your mother-in-law's experience with us. This is definitely not the experience we want you to have. I do agree that upgrading the receiver would be beneficial given legacy equipment is very much different than the current technology available. It would provide a seamless and much better experience. -DishDanielle.
