Worst case scenario, doesn't Dish have no credit options these days? Like prepaid service or something like that?
I'm still going through the retailer, he's relaying Dish's requests to me. Not a Dish PINI know that I have a PIN number with Dish. They use it to verify that it is me they are talking to. Perhaps the customer service agent is looking for your Dish PIN, rather than an Equifax PIN.
I love it when one incompetent corporation calls another incompetent corporation nutsDish insists I need to give them a pin number for a credit check from Equifax; I called Equifax and talked to a human and they told me Dish is nuts
Too bad every person that was affected by the Equifax blunder and wants to order Dish is going to have to go through this
I know that's rightThe whole credit industry needs an overhaul.
I believe they do issue a PIN when freezing, but I would NOT give anybody my PIN to unfreeze my credit access.Dish insists I need to give them a pin number for a credit check from Equifax; I called Equifax and talked to a human and they told me Dish is nuts
Remember when you would buy an expansion card for a hardware upgrade and it came with a disk containing driver software?
Remember when you would have to buy the next version of a software product to get added functionality?
Remember how Microsoft thought to improve on this method by providing software updates automagically over the internet?
Well, this opened the door to malware having an expedited and automatic path into our homes and businesses.
I don't blame Equifax and the other companies who have fallen victim to hackers as much as I blame Microsoft, Apple, and the OS publishers who bought into this "automatic update" mindset which inadequately addressed security. IT departments are trying to put out fires and build firewalls for problems created by Microsoft and Apple, who were in such a rush to "connect the world" and create our seamless tie to the internet that they put computer security as a secondary concern.
Now only a small percentage of the software updates which you obtain are providing a functional improvement. The vast majority of software updates are fixing security holes caused by sloppy programming and inadequate software testing.
I forgot to mention this since I've now seen it elsewhere on the forums...the installer did try to interest me in a Polk soundbar for my bedroom TV but when I said no he said "okay" and that was the end of it.
Also I don't know where to post this question so I'll just put it here...BTW the Hopper 3 is working great, it makes my old HR44 look like it was from the stone age! As to the question, the only thing I've noticed so far is that for some strange reason the DVR storage indicator (% left) on the DVR menu keeps disappearing and reappearing on the Hopper itself and the Joeys. For example, when it was installed it was there. Yesterday it was there for about a half a day then it disappeared. It came back later in the evening and today it's gone again. Is this a software thing?
