This will be the last time I will sign up for anything "free" from Dish.

Each and every time I have gotten the free 3 months of whatever, it's a royal pain to make sure I get credited for them. And everytime I'd had to fight with them to get what they promised in the first place.

This time they billed me, with no credit. They then told me it was over a month ago- that's why they billed me. But it was not due to be over until a month from now. So they finally gave me a credit.

I truly think they try to get away with things like this, hoping no one notices. It's not worth the hassle anymore.

Agreed. On Jan 21 they gave me 3 free months of hbo and showtime. In my world that should end on April 20, or there about. In month one they charged me for HBO/Showtime and credited me with one month, so month one was free. In month 2 they charged me for 1 month and then credited me for months 2 and 3. So in month three they are now charging me for the service with no credit.Did I get credit for the three months? Yes so did I get three months free? Yes, is this a screwed up way of doing business? Yes.

Exact same thing happened to me. So I did get 3 months free but definitely a strange way of billing and crediting it. Thats why I check my bill each month especially with autopay.

I learned my lesson a long time ago with the dish freebies.
just way to many hassles.
Besides, none of the premium stations are worth squat.
You might get three months of programing but after the first week or two, its all reruns of the same movies for the next 2 months.

You know boys, I've kept on top of my billing and I've never had a problem with the three or four times I've done the freebies. Diligence is your responsibility. (and knowing the month ahead scenario).

Total up the credits. Do they not add up to $66 spread over several bills. YES THEY DO! Now, if you stop service at the 3 month mark after adding them, you will see the total charges add up to $66 so it is a wash. You are billed in advance so if you see the charges extend past the cancel date, then you will see it credited back on the next statement. I wish they would teach people how to understand a bill in high school.

I've never had any problem. If you check your current amount due every day, you are going to discover periods when some but not all charges/credits have been applied.

If you look for a problem you're gonna find it, real or perceived.

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 like the Jimmy Fallon channel. This will be its third year. I like that it's all fresh each year. Also fun when he pops on live from time to time.

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.

They will have to look at the switching sections to determine WHY 2 trains were on the same track ... at the same time.
