Thread: The price of TV

Tweet

Hey, is this thread "pushing the envelope towards X?"


Probably shouldn't admit this, but our satelite system allows up to 5 receivers on a contract to allow you to have TVs in 5 different rooms. We have found that the system does not know where the additional receivers are, so we have spread the cost among several family members living in different homes. You just have to remember that only the primary member can use pay-per-view and has to be the one to contact the provider if there is a problem with the system.
I know, this isn't ethical, but when you have to subscribe to 200 channels to get a dozen that are actually something you can watch, it seems justified (at least to me.)

I would never have thought of that! Got to have the dish feed at each house, but it can't tell if the receivers are together or seperated by miles. That's one to remember!!

Very interesting thread chaps & Barb,and I hate ads to but would like to see the mop one. It sounds like your TV is as Crappy as ours over here and what I would really like to know is ...... Modern Family really America's top TV show as they keep tell us over here ??????? An what is Glee all about?????? We have a Tivo system here and have it record what programmes we want to watch and give the rest the big turn-off. As for ads,thank-you to whoever invented the mute button.
