FIOS became available at my house today. I have an installation appointment scheduled for 10-5-2009. My brother finished running all of the cables for me on Sunday(he is a supervisor for DishNetwork). I ordered 1 home media dvr and 2 regular dvr's. I set it up this way so each tv has a...

I know the feeling. Verizon has been in my neighborhood here in Portsmouth, VA laying cables for the last three days. My better half is real excited because she is only three weeks or so from getting the lifetime channels in hd. I am happy because I will be getting channel 4(SEC football) and...

Verizon left the notice on my door today that they would start running the cable and fiber optics in the ground this week right behind my house. I live in southeastern Virginia as well(in Portsmouth, VA - Craney Island is behind the fence in my backyard). How long is the wait between the...

I have Verizon Wireless service and have just recently decided to upgrade to my first smartphone. I have narrowed my choices down to these to because I can get both at a great price. Which phone has the best internet experience(fastest downloads, plays youtube files that are embedded in...

I let my 7 year old nephew play with my Nintendo Wii when he comes to my house because he got one for Christmas in 2007. I brought a Wii for myself last month and my nephew actually helped me set it up and proceeded to beat me in every game that we played. He is not allowed to touch my PS3 or...

With the 360 Elite that I brought last month, there was a cable(about a foot long) that plugged into the av out port on the 360. On the other end of this cable there is a stereo audio out and a digital optical audio out. I am currently using the digital optical audio out on this cable to...

Channel has been changed to A&E HD as of a few minutes ago.

Has Sportssouth(channel 631) changed their coverage area? I live in Portsmouth, VA and today is the first day I have been able to tune to this station.

I will take on the VA Tech and Penn State with Florida State. Circle November 10, on your calendar(Florida State travels to Blacksburg to play VA Tech).

Any word when Fios will be available in Portsmouth, VA. I live near Churchland High School. Is there any website or phone number existing so I can find out how long it will be before the service is available here?

Scott, did you get the rep id of the customer service rep that told you that? Unless Directv has changed their policy in the last two days, you should be getting HBO and Showtime in HD if you subscribe to the sd version of those channels. Does Dishnetwork still do it that way?

It took me four calls to directv to get all of that stuff. The first call got me Cinemax and Showtime for free. The next call got me the Superfan for Sunday ticket. I got everything else on the third call but they wanted me to pay $100 for the HR20 plus $20 for shipping. The last call I got...

I can believe the post about owning the receivers. I own 2 HR20's, a H20, and a R15 that are on my account. I had a HR20 upgrade sent for the R15 and I checked with the customer care rep while I was on the phone with them. I owned all four receivers that I am using. I asked the rep to check...

Depending on the customer care rep that you get, you don't have to say that you are cancelling service. Ask for the installation department(you will get the best deals here without going through retention). I just got off the phone with the installation department and here is the deal that I...

I just got home from work and noticed that these five channels are in the guide for my area. Each channel has A3 Norfolk virtual as a description but you get searching for satellite(771) on the channel when you try to turn to it. Could this mean they are getting ready to turn on HD locals for...
