    $5 dollar non-phone line charge?

My question is simple: I currently have just ONE 722. Just only ONE dvr 722. It is in the living room...

    RV Setup

    Brussam - Obviously I am out of the loop on whats going on currently with Dish acknowledging about RV'ers and stuff. I did all this stuff back in the early days of Dish in it's infancy.

    Favorite CSI

    Speaking of Warrick...for some unknown reason why...I don't know and I cant answer why but I never understood why Warrick left the show. Was it money? Personal relations? Wanting to pursue other avenues? Any one care to comment?

Never called Dish and told em what I was doing. I only...

    Favorite CSI

    As for me...I am a DIE HARD CSI Vegas dude. I watched Vegas ever since the first show when it first ever aired. I loved Grissom. His sense about things was truly scientific at best (at least it was for me). I was saddened when Grissom and his woman left the show. Perhaps some day they will make...
