thanks, rob...
BTW- did you ever have to give them your social security number & verify a credit check? Thats what the on-line processor asked me to do.
I called several times. And yes they did a credit check. My stuff be shoddy. It was $ 200 regular dish. $ 300 if I wanted DVR.
At first, that sounds like crap. BUT, you get 5 dollars every month to get it back. AND it gains interest.
Considering you get $600 worth of TV in 4 months for just 70 * 4 which is 280. And actually it is just $65 with the $5 off. It's more than worth it.
I had that call at one point. I hesitated and hung up. I lucked out and got someone to do it without the deposit later on. But I was a returning customer.
I would have paid the deposit though. Are you going to just pay a lot of money for shit basic cable or pay a deposit which is legally yours and be done with it to add a bunch of sweet channels? Have some fun this winter.
