Will my dish network contract be renewed once the original contract is over?

Question

I have an 18 month contract with Dish. I was wondering if my contract will be renewed for another 18 months or do I pay only the number of months I want my cable? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

No, the contract does not renew.  You go on month-to-month status meaning that you can stop at the end of the last month you have paid for.

If you do any upgrades (a newer DVR, HD service, etc) they may ask you to sign another contract to cover the cost of the new equipment.

Answer 2

They will charge you month to month after the contract is over and you can cancel anytime without a fee. Chances are that they will offer you a better deal if you try to cancel and hint that you think they are charging too much. If you have been a good paying customer your chances are good but you must hint to them that you are intrested in staying with them but feel like you are paying too much for the current service.

Answer 3

your contract will automatically renew itself until you chose to cancel it.  But once the 18 months is over, you can cancel at anytime without penalty
