I didn't say YOU were the original poster.
I DID say older subscribers were grandfathered.
I DIDN'T say anything else that you mentioned.....
Enough of this nonsense thread anyway.

I'm not the original poster. I don't now or never had a phone line hooked
up to any of our three Dish Network receivers. We are not being charged for
it. We own our receivers, they are not the property of Dish Network. We
have been a Dish Network customer for about 10 years or more. I installed
all of the equipment including the antenna, multiswitch and all cables, it
all belongs to me. We only rent the signal and we don't do pay-per-view.
