So my dad has the top 250 and a hopper and two joeys , there was a price increase and his bill is $118 a month. He's out of contract and has been for over 2 years now. They've given him one discount of $10 off for 6 months. He's never late on paying. He didn't ask for an upgrade in equipment but asked what they could do. They offered : $10 for 10 months or $25 off for 6 months. He asked if he could get down to $64.00 without changing packages but they said the only way they could do that is if he dropped down to the 120 plus but he loses a ton of channels he watches.
Even with getting rid of a Joey, and getting the $25 discount it comes to $86 before taxes. Should he even bother calling in and asking for a bigger discount ?

Continuing the Kilauea thread in the Pub here. Perhaps the Iceland one too next time there's remarkable activity.
Currently there is precursory lava flowing into the crater, leading to the next episode that'll probably start within the next day.
You can see the pace of inflation / deflation here. It serves as the primary predictor for when the expect the eruptions, which coincide w/ inflation turning into significant deflation and last for several hours on average with significant fountaining.

Wife and I like the AfarTV feeds, for the discussion along w/ them, though they're otherwise just mirrors of the official USGS feeds.

Not sure saving $24/year is worth it unless you're a hardcore Philo user. I'll stick with monthly.

'Rockford Files' Reboot Gets NBC Pilot Order
I grow tired of all the reboots. Most I don't bother with but will depend on the actor chosen.

I have Dish with Hopper3. I choose to get local channels OTA and had a "guide list" established at my previous home. Having moved a few miles away, I wanted to update the list by appending a couple new stations via a rescan. As many would know, some stations come in with the UHF/VHF antenna aimed in one direction, while others come in better with a different direction.
Unfortunately, when a scan is done (bringing in 25-30 stations for that particular antenna aim), the dialog screen does not present the established guide list; it presents an empty field to the right that the scanned stations may be selected one by one and added to the empty guide. But because of antenna aim, some stations originally saved are missing, and would have to be retrieved with a different antenna aim. But as I explain, if a 2nd scan is done with a different antenna aim, the stations saved from the first scan are lost.
It troubles me that Dish didn't develop software that would allow a user to simply append only 1 or 2 channels to the established list.
Any thought on this? Has anyone experienced this or heard of this from others?
