Those who opt for automatic payments when it comes to cable and satellite service see dollar signs poured down the drain. How so? Well… if you watch many movies on demand and you have automatic payments, you will most likely pay more for those extra services.

Unfortunately, they charge you more when you've had a lapse, even if it's partially their fault.
