regular broadcasts over the regular cable/satellite programming?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Dish Network and Direct TV distributors leave bout 100 taped
messages on my telephone per month, some of them quite deceptive.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Perhaps with a new administration, and after some very
pressing problems are attacked, some attention could be focused
on eliminating and/or rigorously controlling spam of various types. I
have written to our two senators about this and related internet security
problems several times. Each time I get the same form letter back which
says they are working on the problem. I've seen no real evidence of
that, however.</FONT></DIV>

method?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT size=+1><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">NEW SPAMMING METHOD
[NOT ON 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><BR>Sam Scripter<BR></FONT></FONT>
