RW> The idea there is for you to look it over and correct any discrepencies
RW> in your report. The other idea is to sign you up for a years worth of
RW> premiums while they send you crap you don't want.
 
And more likely than not, get my name and other info on a list server.
 
RW> As far as I'm concerned, DVRs aren't worth the effort. They have, at
RW> least DishNet does) a basic receiver that doesn't have all the bells and
RW> whistles that you don't need.
 
If there is something coming on that I will miss because I'm away or that I
may want to record to add to my collection, I simply set the DVD recorder
for the time, pop in a new disc and as Ron Popeil would say, "Set it
and forget it."
 
RW> The U-verse modem has it's own line out to the landline. Don't know why
RW> they'd need to address the receiver by phone when it's already connected
RW> to the internet by fiber optics.
 
Maybe when I have nothing better to do, I'll ask them.  (-:
 
RW> Doesn't work that way here.
 
You have a different setup than I have, so that may be the reason.
 
RW> I use software to write and print checks. The software keeps records and
RW> yes, I not only put a notation on the check but also in the software,
RW> which I get a JPEG copy of after it's been processed at the bank.
 
I had such a program, but don't know what became of it.
 
RW> A friend of mine sued the local ma-bell in SD for defamation of character
RW> when they reported his 'non-payment' to the credit bureaus. He won $5000
RW> in small claims court. Too bad he's dead now, I would like to know his
RW> strategy. :o)
 
Maybe you could ask his lawyer, if you know who he is.
