Again I said "I don't think that's right". The guy told me to hang on while he looked at my account and when he came back he said "Since you are such a good customer and have always paid on time we'll send out a repalcement for no charge." I said "Cool!" Then I told him the reason I had the Tivo in the first place was to record the Chiefs games but the blackout rules in Springfield had changed and Sunday Ticket no longer aired the Chiefs becuase they are on the local station which wasn't available in Springfield till just recently. He told me I was available for the locals now and then I told him that when I called to get them I was told I had to purchase an elipical dish which was $99.00. He then told me that I didn't have to do that and what they would do is bring out a second dish for the locals only for no charge. They also replaced my original reciever(now the 2nd reciever in a different room) for free because it wouldn't get the locals. They come out on Christmas Eve Day and installed it all to top it off. To go with that I got my original Dish and reciever for free because I had purchased Chiefs tickets one year. :) ROFL :thumb: :p :shrug: Direct TV has been very good to me.

After seeing all that, I'm not so sure I'd want it.

FWIW, and relating back to the thread, once DTV gets your old card back you will get credited. I had the same thing happen to me and all I did was wait for the credit to catch up to my bill.
