Got some sad news to share. Claude Greiner died yesterday

I don't post much here so I wasn't sure exactly where this would get the most eyes and the view count was higher on this section. Got an email from Claude's brother Mike this morning telling me that Claude died yesterday. He died of kidney failure. I know that Claude and Scott had their differences but Mike wanted me to reach out to as many friends of Claude's as I could because he can't get into his phone.
This is Mike's email in case you wanted to extend your condolences

Wow got to say I am in shock. I know he has had some bad health issues and almost died a few years ago, but I thought he was on the mend.

I was talking to a friend from DIRECTV who told me Claude was going to be headed to Las Vegas for their Revolution show and that he said Claude was excited to go.

I didn't like that I had to ban him from the site, I gave him many chances and even took him back a few times hoping he would have changed. But all he was doing here was posting tons of posts just bashing DISH. Now what happened between him and DISH he may have had reason for being mad at them, but he didn't understand that we were not DISH and his posting were driving people away from the site. The site was and is here to HELP people. If Claude has a legitimate claim against DISH like he told me had I always wonder why he didn't sue them.

Instead of suing DISH however he kept threatening to sue me for banning him here from SatelliteGuys.saying I was violating his first amendment rights. He didn't get that this is a privately owned site and as such there is no first amendment here. We run the site according to our rules... and if you don't like the rules you can go somewhere else and start your own site. Everytime he made his threats I would take them print them out and bring them upstairs to my lawyers. If people don't know it I am the head of the IT department for a very large law firm. Whenever he posted he was going to sue me and make me stand trial in Michigan the attorneys upstairs would laugh and would tell me to reply back to him to do it and sh!t and get off the pot... and then they were going to go after him for everything he was worth.

As many know Claude and I ran DishStore.NET together. Many people got their DISH equipment from us. When I shut down DishStore.NET Claude owed me over $20,000. But I never got angry about that, and remained friendly with him, and I never bugged him about the money. I also ran his DishRetailer website for him until about that time. He refused to update his software and the version of his software had some big security holes in it and you guys know me and security of things on our server. I had to finally make him move off of our servers and on to his own.

Even after DISH supposedly caught him doing things that got his terminated as a DISH dealer I kept in touch with him. It wasn't until all his posts were the same negative DISH posts over and over again and those posts were affecting this site that I had to put my foot down. I even told him after he was banned to make a fake name and continue reading things. I don't know if he ever did that but I do know he created about 30 different Dish Sucks, Scott sucks and so on accounts just coming here to post anti Dish stuff. It was after that is when I cut ties with him and the threats of lawsuits starting coming.

I have some fond memories of Claude I remember taking him for his first drink of alcohol in Las Vegas and took him to the Star Trek cafe at the MGM. Where me and him shared a Captain James T Kirk long island ice tea which came in this huge bowl. Claude didn't drink too much of it but he was wasted and it was hilarious! I don't know if he ever had a drink after that again. I remember him licking the screen on his telephone and then stick it to the side of his head so he could talk on the phone without using his hands. We had a lot of good times together and that's what I want to remember about him the most. When we were together we were two peas in a pod.

So I am very sad to hear the news. I just let me wife know and she too is upset. I guess her and Claude were still friends on Facebook and she told me that he kept posting on Facebook looking for lawyers in Connecticut to file stuff against me. But she never told me that until now. Oh well.

I am sorry I had to ban you Claude, but this is my site and we are here to help people. As I mentioned before I gave you a number of chances to come back and you did the same thing. SatelliteGuys is my baby and I must take care of it.

Claude was one of a kind, there is no doubt about it. He will be missed. And honestly I do think about him often and the good times we had in the past.

Rest in Peace my friend.

That was inevitably coming, given the huge monthly residuals some "retailers" had accumulated from day one when Charlie made his business model one of scammery, or at least the taking on of scammers to garner as many subscriber signups as he could get, as quickly as they could be scored. These were folks hawking DiSH who basically just dumped hardware on people and helpfully "pre-activated" their rx's, which triggered their activation payments and of course the start of promised high resids. It's easy to do a lot of activations if you're not doing service along with them that makes for true satisfaction. The established, steady, full-service full-satisfaction dealers were effectively paid less by DiSH than the scammers because they put themselves into and stood behind every service activation they did with quality installation and responsive service, which meant they did fewer of them. But Charlie thought it an existential deal to rack up his first few 100,000 quickly to get "deals" from the programmers. Charitably, he just didn't think things through well enough, and there really wasn't that kind of crisis to sink or swim, to sacrifice one's integrity. Not so charitably, he's a scammer at heart himself.

Predictably this quickly blew up on him, with people getting activated but not installed, and worse, and his answer was to tar all of us as crooks and start implementing more and more "business rules" designed to trip up (and charge back) scammers but which in practice harmed the "good" dealers as well. On and on this "death by 1,000 cuts" went, for years. Another response from him was to shed as much of the big resids as he could, both by nitpicking for contract violations as well as apparently just stopping paying them. Claude was one of those it hit big, and I was one of those it hit relatively small. We both got $1000s in a class action lawsuit, and Claude of course went from DiSH darling to persona non grata.

I witnessed Claude's transformation through this time, through his dealer board. He was not always a "grizzled" grudgeholder as some may have perceived him. Quite the opposite. He was youthful, curious, funny. A kid. Before the problems.

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....

My Wife was recently in an antique store and saw a rotary desk phone and it had one of those sticker overlays that had a business listed with phone number under each number on the dial. She looked closer and it had my old Radio Shack listed under the 8...she bought it. Pretty cool keepsake. Back then I rented vhs movies as well so I had it listed as Radio Shack / Movie Gallery and then the phone number.

That is a misnomer. In the old days you subscribed to telephone service. That included the telephone line and one telephone. An extension cost $1 a month extra. So that $14,000 over 42 years was for the service not the leased telephone. There is no way they paid $28 a month for 42 years for a leased telephone.

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.

Week Six Balls and Goats and WTH is Going On in The NFL??

Browns. 1st place in the North. Yup. Believe it or not

Chiefs. Undefeated.

Titans. Won a game ! .... Colts I know, but still.

Saints. Won a game after a while.

Steelers. Having the same season they always have. They somehow find wins on their way to an unceremonial 1st round exit. Mike Tomlin is proud.

Cards. Won a game without scoring a single touchdown

Broncos. How they manage to win games with the dogshit offense they have should be studied.

Bears. Caleb's back and so is their mojo.


Goats

NFC East. For the 2nd straight week no team from this clown show of a division won a game. Eagles are cooked without Hurts. Who's not that good anyway. Commanders suck, Dallas is well ..... Dallas and the Giants have no QB.

Ravens. Lamar is out (as usual). But still. Losing to the Browns is never ok.

Chargers. Still can't win.

Rams. So much for the powerhouse team. They are 2 games under .500

Seattle. Lost to the offenseless Broncos.

Jimmy Johnson is a football guy. Jerry Jones is a marketer (hustler).

When I see a football player get a 15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct (like taunting) in a close game, I often wonder what he was thinking. Was he thinking, I'm doing everything I can to make this a better team and help win a championship? Or, was he saying to himself, I want everyone to notice how great I am?

Johnson inspires one, Jones the other.

KOQIT receivers

Hello folks, well my luck ran out last week with a nasty thunderstorm and after 39 years here, finally took a hit. Now, the FTA receivers I had for some years worked great until now. Recently picked up a fairly cheap receiver, online, KOQIT and seems to be good, but for the life of me, I cannot get the HDMI output to work with 3 of my Samsung monitors. I can hook it up to my Samsung TV and its HDMI input and it works fine. The 2 receivers I lost also worked fine with them, so am I going crazy? anyone have come across this or have any suggestions? And, since this is a somewhat cheap unit but works, what is everyone out there using for receivers these days? without breaking the bank? I enjoy watching FTA TV, so I will invest more if needed, what is a really good, detailed unit these days. I'm so use to watching a few of them HD channels. Right now I'm down to composite hookups, yuck! Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Frank :rolleyes:

Take the cover off, show me pics of the board of the bad one and also the bottom of the board. I'm an old hardware electronics tech plus a satellite dealer; I fixed a lot of FTA and regular receivers. I may be able to fix it for you. And yes, they got hit by lightning; it's best to email me the pics at diamondsatellite@snet.net or call me at 203-232-8888. I give you a 50-50 chance of fixing it; I do have spare parts. my phone is a fliptop phone

Prescription drug costs

Now that I'm retired, obviously I have different health care insurance. I take 2 prescriptions. With my old insurance I didn't have to pay for either of them, now I do. It's not a huge amount but it led me to dig a little into the cost of prescription medications. I have been using Walgreens for the longest time. But what I found was that Walgreens price is 4.8 times more for one of my prescriptions and the other is 2.3 percent more compared to the lowest price pharmacy. If you pay for prescription medications you might want to have a look at trumprx and see if you can get a lower price.

I run them through several different providers to see who has the lowest cost

Usually it's Walmart or Sam's + GoodRx

Also...

Homepage of Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs

Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug homepage. Provides safe, affordable medicine or medication with transparent low prices.

You can also price them through the CareCard and WellRx apps.

Sometimes Amazon Pharmacy is cheapest.

I take 10mg Rosuvastatin (Crestor). I was paying $34 for a 90day supply at Walgreens last year when I was on Blue Cross. My Blue Cross premiums were going up to $1800 a month this year, so I switched to an Ambetter Bronze plan (I think that's a Cigna company) for $825 a month. I now have a $40 copay for doctors visits which is fine as I usually only see them once or twice a year, so a huge cost savings. My Rosuvastatin was going to go up to around $90 for a 90 day supply at Walgreens and even more at CVS or one of the local family pharmacies. Ordering online thru my insurance portal from Express Scripts it's $0.74 for a 90 day supply.

I'm fortunate and don't take any medications. A couple years ago I had to take some antibiotics and used the GoodRx app. Went to Walmart and the person behind the desk knew me and told me to just buy them outright....the GoodRx price was a LOT higher. She said they aren't supposed to tell customers when they see they are being screwed.

That's ok. I probably take enough for the two of us.

God knows what Bobby takes. Maybe so much they count as a meal?

Actually I take just 2 prescriptions, Atorvastatin and Lisinopril. They cost me $6 each for 100 pills. Next year that will be nothing.
