Unbelievable MLB Package Deal

I think this is so good it should have its own topic

Espressoman said:

Found a slick deal that basically netted me MLB EI for free:

DirecTv MLB Extra Innings + Choice Xtra + Showtime and Starz for $59.95 for first 3 months. Continue with Choice Xtra and MLB for rest of season for $63.99 per month. - SlickDeals.net Forums

-------------------------------------------------------------------

It is true. I clicked the above link, Called the phone number. Spoke with Anthony. I added Showtime and Starz for 3 months and he entire MLB Package for 2010 - and my monthly bill has decreased by $9.00 for the next 6 months.

I checked my account and the programming changes have been made with the proper credits to my account.

I then called the regular Directv phone number to verify the changes and discounts arranged by Anthony are correct and would not be canceled. I was told - Yes. I have Showtime, Starz and the MLB Package with the monthly price arranged by Anthony.

This deal can not be made by calling the standard Directv phone number. Call 1-888-814-7419.

For whatever reason DirecTV started charging me for the Showtime and Starz for this whole deal. I will have to call them up and ask them why because I should not be getting billed for it considering I have Starz + Showtime free for the 3 months. After that its a continuation of the regular package + MLB EI.

Don't feel bad, I'm getting charged $63.99 and $24. This is supposed to be credited every month on the 12th.
Guess what 2 phone calls later , still no credits. I'm getting pissed.:rant:
55 minutes on the phone, and I was told I should be Getting a Credit of $63.99 and $24 within 24 hours.
He claimed his supervisor stepped out, But they will take care of it.:rolleyes:

They sure do have a weird way of billing you. I don't have the bill on me at the moment, but Starz and Showtime was listed on the bill at least 3 times. It was listed as a charge, then a credit, then another charge/credit and its just way too confusing to figure out. Is it necessary to actually call them to get the credit in which you received or will I somehow get this credit on the next bill or whatever?

Their billing method negates all the credit they got with this deal. My bill almost doubled to $ 116.23. They billed me for choice xtra, starz and showtime and then credited for them. Its good so far, but then they are hitting me with partial monthly charge for everything (choice xtra, start, showtime, hd access, dvr service) most of which I have already payed in my previous bill.

Not sure how much support the customer service would be on this. Is there any other way to fix this?

Our bill too was $116. Its very strange. They told us we will be getting a credit in July, which doesn't make sense. What about June!?! Guess I will have to see how this thing plays out.

Well looks like they are trying to pull a fast one.

No Credit untill June, Got one in April ,None in May.
This is the terms of this deal.
MLB EI 3 Pay $59.99 includes Choice Extra and Starz /Showtime free for 3 months. Then Pay only$63.99 for Choice Extra for the rest of the year.
Sounds Awesome right?:)


Well look at what they sneak in.

First month I got my Instant Credit for Choice Extra pay for $63.99
So my April bill was only being charged for MLB EI $59.99


April 1-May 11:
  • $59.99 MLB EI 1 PAY
  • Choice Extra $63.99 ($63.99 credit)
  • Starz Showtime $24($24 Credit)
May 12-June 11
  • $59.99 MLB EI 2 PAY
  • Choice Extra $63.99
  • Starz/Showtime $24
NO CREDITS. 2 CSR's Claim June 12 and July 12 I'll get my other 2. OK sounds Fishy.:rolleyes:


June 12-July 11
  • $59.99 MLB EI 3 PAY
  • Choice Extra $63.99 (Credit $63.99)
  • Starz /Showtime(Credit $24)
July 12-August 11
So now what does D* do??

This Billing cycle should be free then.
I shouldn't have to pay for Choice extra or Starz and Showtime at all, Right?

Washington Post

SpaceX has held talks with Boost's parent company EchoStar in recent months about launching its own signature wireless service through a deal with the company, according to two people familiar with the negotiations.
Musk, the SpaceX CEO, has discussed the deal personally, meeting with EchoStar chairman Charlie Ergen last month, according to the people. The potential deal may result in SpaceX acquiring Boost Mobile or SpaceX gaining access to its network, which it leases from AT&T and T-Mobile US, the people said.
Access to those lease agreements would be a coup for SpaceX. The back door would allow Musk to make a play for a U.S. wireless market that equity research firm MoffettNathanson estimates is worth $235 billion. But the proposed service may need consent from those carriers for the service to actually launch, the people said.

Again, why would Musk want a TV Service, specially one that is losing over a million subscribers a year.

Phone service…maybe, but not TV.

Again, if so, why would he want Dish/Sling of all the providers?

He could deliver anything without actually owning, for example, watching the Lions game in my Tesla Y on it's screen via the YT app, while on the way to my future in-laws on Sunday.

If Musk really wants to buy Boost, he might get a great price once Dish Wireless is out of Chapter 11.

Boost just lost 182,000 subs in the 3rd quarter-

Other than the price, my experience with Boost is not that different than what I experienced with my years with Cricket. I will be curious to see what happens if SpaceX takes the reins.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

Rodney Dangerfield is great. One of his best one liners - "My wife likes to talk to me during sex, last night she called me from Florida!"

Jackie Gleason is another one of the greats.
