How to reduce your Dish Network bill

I feel like I should change the name of this blog to Frugal me but it would take too long. In summary, I was going to cancel my dish network account since I was paying close to $70/month for the most basic package and one international channel. Well, I am glad I found this posting that mentioned about a so called "Welcome Pack", by signing up to this package I managed to lower my bill by around $10 and I also removed the protection plan (another $8 reduction) I had signed up due to some remodeling at my home.  I am happy to be paying ~$20 less on my bill. Thank you for the original poster

The package is called the ‘Welcome Pack’ and most people don’t know that it’s available to ALLDish Network customers, new and old. Why it’s called the ‘Welcome Pack’ is a mystery to me. If you log into your online account you’ll notice that this package is NOT an available option. Currently, the only way you can get the welcome pack is to call them at 1-800-333-DISH and ask for it. Took me 5 minutes to call and get our programming changed.

To avoid the problem you have to increase the zoom factor, or you can add some css code in the userChrome.css file in order to reduce the minimum height of the boxes. Without changing the font size, you can try something like:

.calendar-event-box-container {
    margin: 0px !important;
}

but obviously the problem arises again if the zoom factor is too little.

I decided just to change zoom with CTRL + and got this:
