North Carolina Man Stole Identity to Get DISH Network Service
Police in North Carolina recently reported that a man stole another man's personal identification in order to get DISH Network services. Police said that he used a stolen social security number in order to get satellite television service in January.
The 50-year-old-man was arrested earlier this week and was charged with one count of identity theft. The man was arrested in Cleveland County, North Carolina on Monday and is due in court early Tuesday morning. If convicted, the man could face a hefty fine and could spend up to fifteen years in prison.
Identity theft is a crime that affects millions of people every year, according to the Better Business Bureau. Identity theft does not only deal with stealing social security numbers or banking information, but items including medical records, tax information and personal financial information can be stolen as well. The BBB estimates that nearly 50 percent of people that have had their ID stolen had it taken by someone they know such as a family member, neighbor or a coworker.

DISH Network to Broadcast OWN in HD
DISH Network announced today that they would soon offer The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) in HD. The satellite giant has been offering OWN on DISH Network channel 189 since Jan. 1 of this year. For the past two months, DISH has been broadcasting the station in standard definition. The switch to HD is scheduled to take place on Thursday.
The OWN Network, which replaced the Discovery Health channel on cable television, is the newest project of media mogul Oprah Winfrey. When the network was launched in early January, many viewers tuned into see just what Winfrey has planned. Now that the novelty of the idea of a network completely devoted to Oprah has worn off a little bit, viewership has waned ever so slightly.
However, even though ratings are not through the roof as Oprah had likely hoped, the lineup is still promising and there is a good mixture of shows that will appeal to a wide variety of women. Sorry guys, I don't think that this network is for you.
The current lineup of OWN includes the following favorite shows:
- Your OWN Show: Oprah's Search for the Next TV Star- This reality show gives everyday citizens the chance to land their own television deal with Oprah if deemed worthy. Airs Friday nights at 9/8c.
- Ask Oprah's All Stars- This show features Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz and Suze Orman answering viewer questions regarding health, money and relationships.
- In the Bedroom with Dr. Laura Berman- Dr. Laura deals with a variety of issues relating to relationships and intimacy on this show. Airs Monday nights at 10/9c.
A variety of other favorite shows including Trading Spaces and Mystery Diagnosis also air on the network regularly.
