THE INTERNET]?<br>
<br>
I experienced today, what seems to be a method of spamming of<br>
a new and different kind. I've never heard about this technique <br>
before. I'm wondering if any of you have, and whether you can <br>
shed any light on it?<br>
<br>
I'm a subscriber to Dish Network. I have a Dish Network receiver<br>
with a DVR. Today I found a new recording that I did not schedule <br>
and that I did not initiate. E.g., It appeared there from action other <br>
than mine.<br>
<br>
The recording is only 4 minutes long. It's title is this:<br>
<br>
"Slingbox-Watch your TV/DVR anywhere in the world"<br>
<br>
What's next in this technological world? Now unsolicited<br>
recordings proposing purchase of products or services can<br>
be left on one's receiver with DVR without one knowing it<br>
in advance!<br>
<br>
Technically, Dish Network may argue that I agreed to it by agreeing<br>
to receive email announcements from them. I assumed that would be<br>
via the internet, not by the company placing recordings on my VCR.<br>
<br>
This is aggressive entrepreneurship beyond good taste. <br>
