A couple of months ago when I received my bill from Dish, there were two charges for adult ppv movies from July 2005. I called and was told that the movies were ordered by remote. Since I dont have my receiver hooked to a phone line, I disputed the charges. They said someone must have hooked it to the line and ordered, then unhooked - not possible, I have tried and it doesnt allow that option. The charges were took off. I didnt put a code on the account, because I thought it was some sort of glitch...some problem that was over with. Naive, I know.
Well, today I called to make a payment and the bill was really high. I went through to billing to ask how the bill could be that high. I was told that last weekend, multiple adult PPV's were ordered from our receiver. Again, I said no way - we were here.....and we cannot use our remote to order. We always order using the phone or computer, never through the receiver.
So, I get off the line with the lady and hook the phone line to the receiver.....and go through the remote to order wrestling tonight....at first it gave the smart card message - which is where I usually stop.....But, no, it does go through.
I still have a hard time with the charges as
dh and I were here for some of them, but I looked up my account online. Six of the movies were ordered while we were working...and two after midnight. DH thought of oss, but he was not here those times I know for sure. (my girls werent here either). The only person that was here at all times these purchases were made were my 14 year old ss. Because of a holiday and a suspension, he was at our home on two Mondays - when six charges were made.
he denies it, but now we are faced having to pay $100 in adult movie charges for this.
Does this seem the normal behavior of a 14 year old boy?
It does not to me. He knew we would have to pay for this, yet he did it. And movie after movie....by himself.........I dont have sons...and my brothers were young before there was ppv.....so, I dont think this is normal, but what does everyone else say?
