This HAS to be the longest thread about absolutely nothing.
Seinfeld had something like ten seasons; and Jerry Seinfeld's stand-up sucks. This is at least a little amusing.
I know this is the Dish forum but just wanted to say that DirecTV isn't any better than Dish. Last year I called to stop service with them after losing half our income and they pulled the same thing with my account. I called before the billing date and was assured service would stop on a specific date, that my account was paid up and that I would not be billed for anything further. When the service didn't shut off when it was supposed to I called and found out that they had indeed billed for another month and no amount of explaining could get things straightened out. So I got to pay for and "enjoy" an extra month of service that I didn't want and couldn't afford.What gets me is I've been a long time customer of Dish, well at least we are off contract. Well this last month we ran into financial difficulties, and the truth is it's only TV and not a priority, so we let the service get disconnectedAnyway since our service has been disconnected DISH feels they are entitled to continue to bill us for a full months service which we may have had 6 days of viewing. And I checked the account and they have already billed us for another month of service which isn't even here yet. At the time of disconnect we only owed around $100. Got a call today saying we needed to make a payment for around $200, and here in a week or two we are going to have to make a payment for around $300. Now it doesn't bother me to not receive service for not making a payment, that's a no brained, what bothers me is to keep getting billed while we aren't receiving service. That's like me doing a construction project for a customer and billing them for work I have done, then let's say it rains for a couple days or a week then I just go ahead and bill them for work I could have done but didn't do because it rained. Trust me billing for something I could have done won't fly. The reps wan' t me to pay for service I haven't received and say they will prorate it later but can't tell me how much credit I will receive, I don't like that. If you get water, electric or anything like that disconnected the meter stops and you don't get billed for utilities you didn't use just because you might have used them. There are several options available to us and I'm even considering small claims cort if we continue to get billed for services we haven't received. I really hate getting bullied by companies like Dish. It might be time to go back to DTV. Trust me I will pay and I can pay and get service reinstated but I don't like the really small prorated credits Dish gives out. Heck we lowered our package and got our package lowered instantly but we still payed the rate of the higher package for about 5 months after our package was lowered. Dish just acts like you can't match the dates you are billed for with the service you receive for those months. Just getting sick of it.

Yeh. It takes more time to dig up a years old thread than to start a fresh one. I don't get some people's mindsets.I would normally have plenty to say about the topic except this is over a 4 year old thread. Who knows what the current policy is now or if it ever was what was reported.
First of all, the site search leaves a lot to be desired, even with the new software. Faster to just Google. Second, he would probably have to sift through several pages to find a four year old thread...and probably did a lot of hit and missing on each one to find one. Lots of wasted time.Isn't there a topic search button? That's probably how they found it...TBH
Just as Jason Alexander will always be identified as "George Costanza" so will the actor that played the part of the "Soup Nazi" will be typecast in the same manner.Well, since the topic is pointless anyway, I'm gonna go ahead and go off-topic.
I have to say, those who think Jerry Seinfeld's stand-up "sucks" or whatever, are definitely in the minority, seeing as Seinfeld was the most-watched sitcom of the 90s. It's also in the top 10 syndicated programs, even to this day.
Yeah, I heard about the Soup Nazi, and funnily enough he doesn't like Seinfeld either haha. He also hates being called the Soup Nazi.
