First bill was $67.77
Next was $96.80

Partial reason for second bill is a UFC fight charged at 44.95

*Second issue...I can not view my paid bills online. IE what I paid.
(where is this found)

I paid for the UFC fight the day it showed up on my bill.
Regardless of what I try and do, I can not get the "right" payment. IE what I shoudl be paying each month with my credits VS what my bill shows.

Oh what the ,,,,,
Now I am being told the "terms" for the HD for free have changed since I was approved and I am no longer elligible. The tenure agreement has not been reached.
A new customer is eligible. any customer with 90 days payment history is eligible....I am not because I am in between. lmao

What terms, pretty much if you have HD and do Autopay and a normal base package, higher than Family was all you needed.

Nope. They now say you need a 90 payment history. Or what they call a 90 day customer history. Accordingly I was "misinformed" by the CSR who did not tell me about the "terms" as I am being told by the supervisor.

So ya wait another 2 months, it will last 2 months longer that way, they didn't say you couldn't get it, just you couldn't have it NOW.

I signed up on May 30th

The 90 days I was told was theoretical. As after 90 days the system no longer prompts them to call me a "new customer" so the supervisor "guesses" that I am eligible after I am no longer "new"

The "rumor" or "thought" is that two years from now, E* nor D* will be charging extra for HD (So why wait) :)

Hey Sundrop,

I had originally signed up very close to the time you had, but had put my install off a couple weeks. Seeing your issue, I'm glad I did since it gave me time to cancel and reorder with the HD for life.

Sorry your going to get stuck with a few months of extra HD charges, because I agree, I doubt we'll see HD charges anywhere close to 2 years from now...but who knows. We'll be "paying" for them one way or the other.

Good luck!

Thats what I've been presuming.

I guess you could call them back and see what the next person may have to say, or see what StoneCold has to say about it.
He may have a better explanation.

I played the CSR roulette today. A total of 3 CSR's. All in, about 122 minutes. Almost 40 of it waiting on a supervisor. Me and the CSR had a few laughs as I worked in a call center for HP notebook support. Its sad really, he told me they get audited like we did and that he will fail this call if audited. Just like our center, you were not allowed to keep people on hold for extended periods without checking back with the customer. They are not allowed to place a call on hold more than 5 times. Therefore he just stayed on the phone with me, I tried to prevent him from having "dead air" time as that is a fail as well...thus we bullshitted about anything I could come up with :)

The Supervisor, well a typically call center sup. She read what the computer told her. She told me she has no authority to override it. The only part was she said she did not have the authority to escalate the call or issue me a call back. (Weird ass call center not having an escalation team) BUT as the BBB clearly rates them....they are not known for there "customer service"

Oh and a LOL I did kind of upset him when I told him I made $15 for tech support at HP. He said "He could only wish, he could make that much"

Since it was already "paid" for, I spent the two hours of my time watching the John Cena action movie on Apple TV, "Matchbox The Movie" even though the reviews were brutal. It was better than I expected, so I didn't feel like I had wasted an afternoon watching it. But it felt like another "Reacher"/"Neghley"/"Mission: Impossible"/"Fast & Furious" crash and blow stuff up with lots of automatic gunfire mixed in movie featuring covert CIA operatives.

I don't think we'll get a follow-up movie from this. I expect Mattel will have other toy lines to exploit.

PISTONS and THUNDER are finally testing on the stream server. PISTONS is showing the Ion/Scripps Sports promo loop filler that their NHL and WNBA feeds have, THUNDER has a "You are watching Thunder+" slate

The Clippers still haven't officially announced their TV plans beyond 10 simulcasts on KTLA, but the NBA's FAQ for ClipperVision is now live. The CLIPPERS feed is currently showing a loop of their Hawaii preseason game.

The Heat still haven't announced their West Palm Beach or Fort Myers affiliates. Since WPLG is streaming the games for free via their app, I doubt we'll be seeing the return of WPLG on stream.

So far nothing testing for the Bucks, Magic, Hawks or Hornets.

West Palm Beach is getting it on WTCN-CD/43 MNT. Still nothing for Fort Myers


Also, the Thunder's deal for KSBI/52 OKC and KQCW/19 Tulsa will be via a special cable and DIRECTV only feed of those stations. OTA viewers and Dish customers will be limited to 10 games.

Thanks for the updates on CW norfolk
Hopefully comes to sat soon!!

Not seeing 44 (WVBT-DT/44 CW Norfolk ) on my D* app for firestick

It's only available for streaming customers, they still haven't added that batch of CW stations to satellite.

Even if it was, satellite customers still can't stream their CW affiliates via the app, just the Big 4, select PBS stations and some independents (mainly the ones that have full season NHL/NBA rights)

Yes the Cowboys owner needs to fire the general manager (himself), co-owner, Chief Operating Officer (COO), Executive Vice President, Director of Player Personnel, and President of AT&T Stadium (his son) and then he should jump off of a cliff. Only then can they recover.

Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson had an argument about who was responsible for the dynasty building of the early 90's Cowboys.

The rest of us figured it out in about 3 years, Jerry has had over 30 years but still can't admit it. It's all he lives for, to show everyone he can put together a winner. I don't think he can. His kids only know what he taught them.

Last night it was about $4.17 gas, $6,19 diesel.

On the West Coast, a 40-cent differential is common. It used to be 30 cents before the prices rose above $3.

A "full dollar more" sounds like it may be boat gas (non-alcoholic), which is a whole different discussion.

Both non-ethanol and prem run about the same....buck more. When we were up in TN it was a buck more up there as well.

In Oregon, our premium boat gas is about a dollar more than our corn premium. Several stations only offer the non-corn premium grade.

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....
