Here is a chat session I had with a live chat rep.
Please wait while we find a representative to assist you...
All agents are currently busy. Please stand by.
An agent will be with you in a moment. Thank you for your patience.
You have been connected to (03)Susan J.
(03)Susan J: Welcome to Dish Network. How may I help you today?
Christopher: Yes I would like to know why my current balance says $269.04, when yesterday it said $120.64, where did this $148.40 charge come from?
(03)Susan J: I will be glad to help you.
(03)Susan J: Please give me 2 minutes while I pull up your account and assist you further.
Christopher: ok
(03)Susan J: Thank you for your patience.
Christopher: No problem
(03)Susan J: I see that, the bill due on 12/21/07 is $120.64 , however on 12/19/2007 Cinemax was added for 1 year for $141.33 that's the reason the current bill shows the balance of $269.04.
Christopher: Yes but I talked to a csr on the phone, the deal was for cinemax for 1 year for 1 cent.
(03)Susan J: Please give me 2 minutes while I check this for you.
Christopher: Ok
(03)Susan J: Thank you for your patience.
Christopher: Not a problem
(03)Susan J: I see that, you are signed up for Cinemax one year free promotion and the charge showed up on the account and please do not worry credits will be taken care off.
Christopher: So what about the 148.40 charge?
Christopher: it supposed to be 1 cent not $148
(03)Susan J: The credits will be processed.
(03)Susan J: Do not worry.
Christopher: Oh ok
Christopher: Thank you
(03)Susan J: It was my pleasure assisting you!
(03)Susan J: Is there anything else I can assist you with?
Christopher: Thnak you and have a great night! No thats it, the charge scared me a bit just wanted to clear that up thank you
(03)Susan J: Thank you for chatting with Dish Network, have a great day!
Now having all of that, am I still having to pay the 148.40 charge? Or is that there for credit purposes? And that I dont have to pay it.
Thank you guys!

HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

I remember this in the news too...
www.nbcnews.com
$14,000 spent on rented rotary phone
A widow rented a rotary dial telephone for 42 years, paying what her family calculates as more than $14,000 for a now- outdated phone.
www.nbcnews.com
That is a misnomer. In the old days you subscribed to telephone service. That included the telephone line and one telephone. An extension cost $1 a month extra. So that $14,000 over 42 years was for the service not the leased telephone. There is no way they paid $28 a month for 42 years for a leased telephone.I remember this in the news too...

I haven't posted in almost 17 years. Over the air, sat, offline, anything-but-the-internet is still one of my avid pursuits. Been playing with offline tv viewing and offline web browsing. I have great appreciations for this site still being here. It's so hard to find public communities that haven't sold out to social media company.

Hello folks, well my luck ran out last week with a nasty thunderstorm and after 39 years here, finally took a hit. Now, the FTA receivers I had for some years worked great until now. Recently picked up a fairly cheap receiver, online, KOQIT and seems to be good, but for the life of me, I cannot get the HDMI output to work with 3 of my Samsung monitors. I can hook it up to my Samsung TV and its HDMI input and it works fine. The 2 receivers I lost also worked fine with them, so am I going crazy? anyone have come across this or have any suggestions? And, since this is a somewhat cheap unit but works, what is everyone out there using for receivers these days? without breaking the bank? I enjoy watching FTA TV, so I will invest more if needed, what is a really good, detailed unit these days. I'm so use to watching a few of them HD channels. Right now I'm down to composite hookups, yuck! Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Frank

Take the cover off, show me pics of the board of the bad one and also the bottom of the board. I'm an old hardware electronics tech plus a satellite dealer; I fixed a lot of FTA and regular receivers. I may be able to fix it for you. And yes, they got hit by lightning; it's best to email me the pics at diamondsatellite@snet.net or call me at 203-232-8888. I give you a 50-50 chance of fixing it; I do have spare parts. my phone is a fliptop phoneHello folks, well my luck ran out last week with a nasty thunderstorm and after 39 years here, finally took a hit.
