[QUOTE="donna723, post: 362392, member: 1883"] Better check your own bill! I just had to pick myself up off the floor! I've had satellite TV f-o-r-e-v-e-r! All I have is one little house, one TV, one receiver, I had the biggest package with the distant network feeds and a few sports channels, most of it I don't even watch anymore. And I paid [U]more[/U] every month than anyone I know! Dumb ol' me just thought that was how much it cost, I and was planning to downgrade to a smaller more economical package. I've been paying the bill online for a long, long time now so I never really see a breakdown of the charges. So my faithful 14 year old TV finally died and I bought a new HD TV last week - they came to put in the new HD dish and hook it up last Friday, and getting the HD programming adds still another $10 a month to my bill. So I called tonight to change my programming and when she told me what I should have been paying now it was quite a bit less than what they've been charging me! I had her break down the charges of what I've been paying, and among the charges is $14 for "DNS" service. I asked her what that was - she said "It's for your RV!" I said, "My [I]WHAT[/I]???"

Fine and dandy ... except that I don't [U]HAVE[/U] an RV, I've [U]NEVER[/U] had an RV, and I certainly don't plan on buying one anytime soon!!! Good grief! I can barely pay my rent, much less buy an RV!
