Does anyone know why you can not just get Locals Only? I have had the Locals Only for the past six months since since I downgraded from AT200 and 5 receivers to only one receiver since Dish took MSG off the air. Now they are telling me that I need to have at least the Welcome pack to get the locals even though I told them I don't watch those channels and plus they aren't even in HD. I asked Dish if they could maybe give me a credit of $ 5.00 a month till they got MSG back and then I would upgraded back to my 5 receivers and the AT 200 pack but they said they couldn't do anything. In my 13 years with Dish I have never received anything from them and I even paid for all of my receivers and dishes as well as installed it all myself. I guess Dish doesn't really care about its long term customers.

Well I didn't get ANY letters about it, but noticed this as a change on this months bill a couple days ago. (THIS is exactly why you have to to remember to look at ALL bills, with ALL these companies, when you are paperless &/or auto-pay
)
Evidently they just went ahead & changed me from the locals only pkg f/$10, to WP w/locals for $15 - BUT they also are giving me a $5 credit for 6 months. BUT had I not looked at this bill, I wouldn't even know this was taking place.
Frankly, not surprised by this - after all, since they raised prices on all other pkgs, & with their increasing sub losses, they HAD to get some sort of rate increase from EVERY, LAST possible sub they could.

This exact thing happened to me also. We just noticed the change in our bill a few days ago and I spent a night on a chat session with a Dish CSR and then a long conversation with a person that the chat person told me to call (a department called something like RTA). They wouldn't budge from the Welcome Pack and apologized for my not getting a notice...but, they pointed out that in the e-mail sent in early February they said that our bill was ready *and* we should check the bill because something had changed. That was basically how they told us about the package change. If you check your e-mail records, you'll probably see a special note that says to check your bill for the change they made...it was actually a different e-mail message than they normally send.
I was upset at not being notified, but at least my bill comes out to $15.99 instead of the $16 that locals-only cost. However, after 6 months that will go up to $20.99 and I'll need to look around at my options again. I doubt that I can find a lower cost deal that makes sense for me...until something like Google TV works with local channels.

Can you spill a few more beans on that subject?

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....

You can order direct from starlink online or from an authorized retailer.
Not at all like the special equipment needed for a satellite install.
Thank you Nelson,
Yes, I fully agree. I can install it with my teeth, and both hands tied behind my back...but this installation is for a commercial user that will not do it themselves, and myself, Im overseas...
But it looks like that we managed to find someone who can drive there for the work.
Thank you

Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

This should hit a lot of folks with a dose of reality. I can only imagine how much more common this will get as AI progresses.
I read several stories on this and most are clear as mud. They say a lot of the stolen bitcoin has been "locked out" and that everyone will be made financially whole. I guess time will tell if either of these statements are actually true.

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.
I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

Tony as the director.
Would you rather have LaRoche ???Tony as the director.
No. Bring in someone new.
Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.
I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...No. Bring in someone new.
Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)
Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.
Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.
It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.
