If you are a Dish subscriber you may not realize they are giving away 'Roku' players for free.
WAIT and read this before you rush to the phone.
I watch a channel AMC and Dish blacked it out some weeks ago. Reason being, is a conflict in contract
with AMC. Well, without getting into that...there is a very popular series called 'Breaking Bad'. It airs on....
you guessed it, AMC. The 5th and final season is beginning next month and guess what... DISH subscribers
are mighty tore up about not being able to watch 'Breaking Bad' due to AMC being blocked.
To make up for this, Dish is giving away FREE Roku players to their subscribers that call and ask for one.
WAIT.....read on...
When you call, tell them like this....
YOU: Hello, I am calling to get the free roku player since I can't watch AMC now.
Dish: What shows do you like to watch on AMC?
YOU: I watch 'Breaking Bad' and the final season is starting and I am going to miss it...also I like movies
and various programs that come on AMC.
Dish: Do you have high speed internet access?
YOU: Yes.
Dish: Your free Roku player will arrive in 4 to 5 business days.
YOU: Thank you.
IF they ask you why you can't watch Breaking Bad on your computer.....or some such question as that,
tell them you can't watch shows on a computer or you'll go blind! I state this because some posts on forums
and amctv site have stated a dish customer service ask that question. I did not get ask that.
ALSO, some posts I have read are stating they also got in addition to the free roku player, a $35 credit.
I did not ask about the credit.
Roku players, normally sell for around $99. There are different versions in which some may sell for less
than that and some for more.
How long will they give these away? I don't know so that is why I am telling you, IF you are a DISH
subscriber, hurry up and call them and get it while you can.
AND if you do watch breaking bad..... AMCtv online is letting people watch the first episode in season 5,
for free online. I watched it last night.
Dang! I think the Philippines has my vote on buying power.
Whatever you do, don't buy anything in Canada.
Ok, how much does a nice house cost in your country? I'll define nice house:
Approximately 2000 square foot house
Less than 20 years old
2 or 3 bedroom
1 or 2 bathrooms
1 acre of land
standard grade for your area of the world
In the USA, house cost can vary greatly. For example, where I live, in a rural country area in the state
of Tennessee, small community area, housing costs much less than if I was in New York. It's hard to define
the prices here. A rough relay of the price would be about $125,000 to $175,000 in rural areas and small
towns and cities to upwards of half a million dollars or more, in major cities. This according to the house
listed above.
I'm just wondering what people can buy with $10 in other countries/states?
I'm in the USA in the state of Tennessee. Here is some items I can buy for under $10.00:
Sliced Bread = about $2.50 per loaf. This price does vary with the type and brand of bread.
I'm primarily referring to sliced white bread.
Case of Cokes = about $6.50 at the walmart. That's for a case of 24.
Gallon of 2% milk = about $3.80 per gallon. Again, this amount varies in price depending upon the brand.
One reason why I ask this question is because I wonder what members can really do with a
$6.00 or an $8.00 payout? Another reason I ask is because I am simply curious as to how
much things like food, cost in other countries.
PS. I am not including tax. Just wondering what the costs are without tax.
...when all of a sudden, Mutchy Wutchy the dancing raccoon, saw Macho Man walking up to the door with armfuls of groceries. Mutchy Wutchy was licking his lips when he saw the biggest bear he had ever saw in his life.....
Now this is very sad.
