Dish Network settles claims for $6M
Florida and 45 other states have obtained a settlement for nearly $6
million with Dish Network LLC, resolving allegations of deceptive and
unfair sales practices.

Florida�s share will be about $125,000, which will be used to
reimburse costs related to the investigation.

As part of the agreement, Dish Network will also pay restitution to
consumers and modify its marketing practices, according to a media
release from the Florida attorney general�s office.

A multistate investigation led to allegations that the satellite TV
provider and its third-party retailers engaged in a number of illegal
practices, including violation of do-not-call rules, failing to
disclose all terms and conditions of customer agreements, charging
customer credit cards without proper authorization and failing to
accept responsibility for third-party retailers and installers.

Customers who filed complaints may be eligible for restitution if the
conduct occurred within the past two years.

To file a complaint or a claim for restitution contact Dish Network
customer service at (888) 825-2557.

Gee, they owe money to Tivo, now this ?
Could it be that Dish has finally found a way to stop testing,.....by going
bankrupt ?

BTW that 6M is not a final figure, it may still go much higher.
