So what is the difference between a Authorized Dish Network Retailer and Dish Network?
An Authorized Retailer has all the same promotions and specials that Dish Network has.
They also have the same exact pricing Dish Network has.
The big difference is service. You are now dealing with a local rep that you can call and talk to about your Questions or problems before and after the install.
They know your system because they are the ones that installed it and can usually take care of problems over the phone.
They will respond quicker because they have something to loose if you cancel within the 1st year.
Also remember you are supporting a member of your community.
