DISH Network cans six retailers for sketchy behavior {Engadget HD}

Jan 22nd 2009 9:42AM I'm sure the "active" was changing existing customers into new customers via a different name and phone number. Happens all the time.
What i don't understand is how Dish continue to let an Installation company like SOUTHERN STAR continue to monopolize the installation market. Dish pays this company in units or hours based on type of W/O (work order) and in such requires them to bring the system completely up to code. I have personally sub contracted for Southern Star and can say that this RARELY happens, yet Southern Star still excepts FULL pay for the W/O....isn't this fruad?
I went to the Abiline TX market for a huge migration, we ran on 8-10 W/o a day and NONE of these jobs were up to code, yet this is the market that thier past 2 or 3 managment promotions came from! how is this so? the Austin market is better, but not by much. Southern Star stopped routing me because i started to keep a picture library of thier inhouse tech's HORRIBLE work. I say the monopilize because they will cut any contractor that produces SOLID numbers or gets too many techs and has potential to out preform them. This is just some of my knowledge about them, what about how they cancel customers W/O's that get rescheduled because they become older than 30days and SS does not get paid for it...leaving customers FUMMING.
HOPEFULLY someone with DISH reads this or gets it to the right people...Charlie, I thought of bring this to your attention on CharlieChat but didn't want to blast you on TV for thier shady work. if you'd like to know more or see these pictures first hand (before and afters) feel free to email me directly...
