Yeah, and I'll be home sometime between 8-1 Or between 12-5. Take your pick. Could be 3 or 4, or maybe 9 or 10. I wouldn't be able to give them an exact time.

Server Issues. We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. The provider was going to move us to a new server, however we are now told by the provider the issue is at the data center in St. Louis. They have offered to move us to a different datacenter on the East Coast or West Coast, however at this time we have declined the move to a different data center as it would affect the speed of connecting to about half our members.
We are waiting for more information from our provider, however we are trying to ride this out to stay in the same data center, so that when the server is fixed all users in the US will get the fastest connection possible.
If after some time the issue is not resolved we will be forced to move to another data center, if this happens there will be down time, as they will need to transfer everything to the new server and we will need to update the DNS and other settings for the new IP address of the new server. If we have to do this, the time it will take to move will be out of our hands.
We are going to try our best to weather through this, so we thank you in advance if you encounter any issues.
Sorry for the issue!

What is guy that is so cheap he won't pay a highway toll doing with a subscription TV? Could someone else been providing the service for him? And could that have triggered the audit?
Dish has went too far with too many and it was only a matter of time. They sure screwed with the wrong guy this time. This will probably get some publicity. Dish may lose more subscribers than it is worth due to the audit nazi's.
I would think only those actually audited. At least that's the way I look at it. If they audit me and it is convenient and they don't irritate me too much, I'll go along. Otherwise when they finish their call, I'll make my final call to Dish. Easy as pie! 
I worked with Clark Howard for several years. He is a level headed, calm, unassuming fellow. He does not get upset easily. I don't blame him one bit for getting rid of Dish. I would do exactly the same if they treated me the way he was treated. His national radio program and HLN show are seen/heard by tens of thousands. Believe me, by telling his side of the story, it will have an impact on Dish. I don't disagree with the need for audits. I do think treating paying customers as crooks is a great way to drop subscribers.
i am disabled aand hard to understand on the phone so i know i would never pass the audit. i have never had my receivers connected to a phone or broadband. it will be interesting if they ever audit me.
