<content:encoded><![CDATA[Of course, the fact that these statements were made in concordance with actual facts surrounding what SOPA actually said should be completely discounted. Obviously, these statements, taken out of context, should be on the level as tired hyperbole anti-Mike attacks because he doesn't pay his writers, or doesn't pay them enough, or [insert unsubstantiated bullshit here].<br />
<br />
What you are really doing is the old "When you beat your wife trick". "Why didn't you pay your writers Mike? Why didn't you pay them enough?"]]></content:encoded>

Hopefully this patch is mandatory for everyone and that this policy change won't be undone at a future date.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[I have the best programming Direct TV has to offer and I pay a prime rate for this service. One of my genie receivers started giving me trouble about 6 months into my 2 year contract. After being on the phone for over 2 hours per call many times they decided to send out a service tech. That is when she told me I had to pay for the service call and any equipment needed to repair the service. I stated I have the $7.99 a month protection plan, she responded that will reduce the service call to $0 but I would still need to pay for any equipment (average cost 100.00+). She also said the service calls are only 8 am to noon or noon to 4pm mon- fri. Now let me get this straight I pay for a service, I pay for the equipment and I pay for the protection plan each month totaling well over $200.00 but yet it covers nothing. In addition my time away from work, time spent on the phone have no value and if I want out I have to pay! This sounds like a completely one sided game and the only looser is me! They need to pay or make some serious changes, how do I complain to the right people?]]></content:encoded>
