At least we did way back when we started out with them. I refuse to have my payments automatically paid from my card or my bank account. I'm pretty sure that if you get behind, they'd find a way to take their money from it anyway! And make YOU sue THEM to stop them. Not that I plan on not paying, of course. <br /><br />I think it's just a protection from their FAULTY EQUIPMENT that would require you to pay $100 for them to come fix their own FAULTY EQUIPMENT.<br /><br />My internet comes through DISH, so I'm reluctant to change to another TV service. We can't get much of anything out here in the middle of nowhere. I AM upset about going without CBS since August 15. I don't really think either DISH or Meredith Corporation is trying very hard to negotiate. I can still get my St. Louis ABC, NBC, FOX, and PBS. But I sure do miss my Big Brother, and soon my Survivor.Hillbilly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067833789262242514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112514995333046518.post-65319659543396722462019-09-11T20:19:38.030-05:002019-09-11T20:19:38.030-05:00It's a scam, it's all a scam.

And then he does and we have Direct until he gets mad at them, then we have Dish again. Yes, It is confusing and yes, I have to learn all new remotes and channels. It is a pain. We have a lot of the actual dishes. People that stay here will get service and leave the dish behind. So far I have been unable to come up with a way to re-use them ...Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112514995333046518.post-64497710102122335422019-09-11T19:17:22.507-05:002019-09-11T19:17:22.507-05:00River,

Of course, they'd be getting $11.99 x 12 months a year, so you'd be paying $143.88 to avoid a $100 charge... They have a more expensive plan, too, but I don't know what it protects you from.<br /><br />Yes, a repairman came within a week. Between him and Farmer H, they solved the problem with a new receiver (no charge, it's their equipment anyway, like a lease).
