And Technoguy I have not heard from him in a long time! Tom this is the year of the Eagles I am sorry for your bears! TomP if you want to play fantasy football send me and pm!

Well Nel, we have a real QB. Things are looking pretty good. And I had the best news that I heard in a long time. During my 20th year Graduation reunion last Saturday I learned that one of my best friends fron High School is one the Orthopedist for the Bears. He invited me to watch a couple of games this year. Also Alex Brown(#96) wife is the sister in law of another Classmate. This can be the year that I finally go to Soldier Field... Regarding the Fantasy, I'll let you know. I'm already on 2 leagues and 3 third on sight(esta en veremos).

Going back to Dish....!

So guys why is all MPEG4 fiasco? HD os SD? Well Dish wants to move everybody to MPEG4. I've been having a lot of trouble lately getting 311 or single tunner Sd receivers from our Tampa supplier. About 1 hour ago was the last time. Anyway Dish actually waived the HD Charge, or HD Enable Fee to those customer that wanted a VIP-211(222) and are not going to take the PR/VI HD Package. So when the time comes, they want to have as many subscribers ready as possible for MPEG4. It uses significantly less bandwith that Mpeg2.

Kind of good news, but I hate those 2 year contracts when it is more that 2 tuners. Last week I had a terrible time with a charge back. Almost 20 months into the contract the man just voluntarily disconnected, because he's on the military and his new orders required him to move to California. he wans't going to have a house for 2-3 months, so the Dish Mover can be longer than 30 days, I told him that it was cheaper to keep paying the minimum package for those 3 months than getting the $300 early termination fee , but apparently he wasn't treated well by the Dish Reps. His father in law actually canceled his recently reactivated account to continue the one wth the contract.(petty nasty additional installation was required) Went through hell and back to get our money back. :rant:

You guys take care..

Tom
