    62.99 for 250 package w/ locals + 4 solo receiver @$5 each =82.99 for the past two months. The image of the bill above is this months new bill I viewed online.

    Nee help with Dish billing

    Long time dish customer here, I have two 508 DVR's and one 311 receiver on my account. When the new rates went into effect a couple months ago, my bill jumped from $69.99 to $82.99, which I think is wrong. The bill should be $72.99 I believe. I have the Classic Gold 250 with Locals...

    GPS Recomondations for under $300?

    I picked up a Garmin Nuvi 200 a few months ago. Very easy to use. Prices are down to about $250 for this unit.

    E* Customer Service Ratings Drop

    Well, here is a good CS post, FWIW. My last three CS calls went flawlessly. The most recent, I didn't even talk to a person, I was able to change my programming thru the phone menus, and it was pretty simple. Programming changes appeared on the receiver within a half hour. Previous two calls...

    501/508/510....p363

    Wouldn't surprise me, my 508's have been flaky recently. Skipping commercials in recorded show playback is quirky. Skips, jumps, audio mutes, just annoying. :mad:
