If not, there are other places who will cut you a deal.The MAN Fan Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769813306551133947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16945785.post-1138661498177918552006-01-30T18:51:00.000-04:002006-01-30T18:51:00.000-04:00Reply to billyv: We had one dish and 2 receivers ...Reply to billyv: We had one dish and 2 receivers though?The MAN Fan Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769813306551133947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16945785.post-1138661455387781682006-01-30T18:50:00.000-04:002006-01-30T18:50:00.000-04:00Reply to hokie: i'll still need to research what ...Reply to hokie: i'll still need to research what channels I actually have.

I do this all the time and rarely am I refused. <BR/><BR/>For example, I get the DMN Sunday only, when the bill came for $11.50 a month I was shocked because I can go to the store and get it cheaper. I called to cancel the paper and they kindly switched me to a MUCH cheaper rate of $3.53 a month. Yes, $3.53 a month. I usually pay 6 months at a time and when I get another bill for $11.50 I call again to get another good rate.<BR/><BR/>I also call credit card companies and have them wave the yearly fee. When I was renting an apartment the rent was going up, I told them I was going to move if the didn't keep it the same. I negotiated an ER hospital bill from $3500 to $750 if I paid in full. <BR/><BR/>Name of the game...ask for a deal, if the first persons says no, ask for a manager...tell them what you want. Most companies want to keep you as a customer,(it cost more to get a new customer that to keep you) and you need to tell them what they need to do to keep YOU.<BR/><BR/>Sorry this is so long...I'm a poor college student and I need to save money where I can.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14590044231125833211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16945785.post-1138647243311312072006-01-30T14:54:00.000-04:002006-01-30T14:54:00.000-04:00the one good thing about cable overe the dish is t...the one good thing about cable overe the dish is that if you get your house wired for cable, then every room has cable. If you have the dish, you have to get a receiver for each tv (unless you want digital cable then it is the same). Dish adverts low rates then charges you per receiver pere month and then for the local channels. For expanded basic, the deal is cable.Bill Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00121117922676676023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16945785.post-1138584002565338002006-01-29T21:20:00.000-04:002006-01-29T21:20:00.000-04:00Reply to pigs: I'll research that and get back to...Reply to pigs: I'll research that and get back to ya.The MAN Fan Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769813306551133947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16945785.post-1138583975291709142006-01-29T21:19:00.000-04:002006-01-29T21:19:00.000-04:00Reply to txgrl: By then I'll be ready for my Plas...Reply to txgrl: By then I'll be ready for my Plasma TV and I'll switch back to a cheaper Dishnetwork.The MAN Fan Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769813306551133947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16945785.post-1138583295420620952006-01-29T21:08:00.000-04:002006-01-29T21:08:00.000-04:00I've always wondered why companies don't treat the...I've always wondered why companies don't treat their regular customers nicer.juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14886624637295292117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16945785.post-1138582797429032462006-01-29T20:59:00.000-04:002006-01-29T20:59:00.000-04:00Do you get Soapnet? :D Just...cause I was wonderin...Do you get Soapnet? :D <BR/>Just...cause I was wondering.Pigshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10808308057095231750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16945785.post-1138582681783078402006-01-29T20:58:00.000-04:002006-01-29T20:58:00.000-04:00i hate comcast...after your year is up i guarantee...i hate comcast...after your year is up i guarantee your price will rocket back up there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
