Hello all, I haven't been here in 2 years and I haven't really looked at my bill in that time either. So it probably serves me right that I cannot tell whether I'm being screwed or not. But after searching here and elsewhere for the last few days, I'm not sure I've found my answer.
I understand that there were two price change periods this year (Feb and June), and that seems to correspond with the changes I've seen, but I'm still concerned that I may be getting over-charged.
Here are breakdowns of my bill for the last year:
Sept 20th 2009 to Feb 19th 2010, all of the charges have been like this:
Monthly Charges
Classic Silver 200 With DVR 57.99
Classic Gold 250 10.00
GoldHD 10.00
PlatinumHD 10.00
DVR Receiver 12.00
$ 99.99
Other Charges and Credits
DVR Package Credit - Adjustment -3.00
Feb 20th to June 19th 2010, all of the charges have been like this:
Monthly Charges
GoldHD 10.00
HD DuoDVR Receiver 17.00
PlatinumHD 10.00
America's Top 250 With Locals 62.99
DVR Service 6.00
$ 105.99
Other Charges and Credits
Receiver Credit 1,2,3,4 of 6 - Adjustment -5.00
June 20th to Aug 19th 2010, all of the charges have been like this:
Monthly Charges
America's Top 250 64.99
HD 250 10.00
HD Duo DVR Receiver 17.00
HD Platinum 10.00
DVR Service 6.00
$ 107.99
Other Charges and Credits
Jun 27 Receiver Credit 5,6 of 6 -5.00
If there are any suggestions how how to reduce these prices, I'd love to hear it.
Besides pricing issues, please let me know if you have any ideas where these credits come from.
Thanks to all in advance.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

It's dead, they just don't know it yet. They killed it by forcing DRM on it, and that TOTALLY botched implementing it.
There is absolutely NO compelling reason for anybody to switch to ATSC3.0. They only want it as a total and complete money grab.

WHAT ABOUT THE INTERNET PART OF IT. NO ONE WANTS A BOX CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET EITHER.

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 was bewildered with all the new DISH TV "Bonus View" channels, so I put together a web page table with all the info I could find. It's at:
https://anythingpeaceful.org/dishtv/DISH_TV_Bonus_View_Channels.html
Here's a partial screenshot of the table, as sorted by Channel Name. (You can click on a column header to sort.)
If you have any corrections or suggestions, please post here.
