But it's $60 for them just to come out, and $60 for the first hour. If he gets there and is gone in by 1 hour, then its $120. If he gets there are and can't get a signal, it's $120 plus i have no tv. you're suggesting I risk the $120 and no tv, and take the $99.95 credit? If he can get signal...

Because of what I feel was a stupid move by Echostar, I have to cancel my service and must go with Cox. I live in Roanoke Va, and subject to their programming/hardware. I basically have no experience or research of them yet, other than having their service 2 years ago for a very short period of...

I setup a dishmover (free under dhpp which i have) last week for today. Moving from duplex to 3rd floor apartment. Apartment rules: no holes drilled into balcony or railings. Therefore, would have to go with bucket mount. Installer called this morning and asked some questions and said no, we...

i know, it happened all the time when i worked there. not only would certain parts fail (like the ability to create a work order or create an RA) while others worked, but the whole software program or the computer would crash regularly. at least over a full year ago they were supposed to release...

i called and they said their computer was down and for me to call back. after waiting on hold for a while i didn't have the time or patience to wait again. I'll be calling back tomorrow morning (extremely busy day today) and basically ask for dish1000 and see what signal strengths i can get, and...

I am going to call E* tonight to setup a dishmover. I signed for DHPP online already to get it free. I live in Roanoke, so I understand I should be able to get my 2 must carrys (WB and UPN) with the dish1000 and roanoke Va is one of the eligible DMA's. Now, when I worked as a CSR when we first...

moving and hoping i can get LOS, if not i have to go with cox cable. i called their tech support to ask questions, took the lady 9 minutes to 'search' and out how big their dvr hard drive was, so i called on cell phone hoping to get someone more knowlegable. while that took 22 minutes to get...

Is that why some people get signal with the dish seemingly pointed downwards towards a roof or ground and still get signal? Also, when I setup the dishmover, I plan on telling them I won't have a tv or anything there, but just want the guy out to see if he can get signal and if he can...

I am going to be adding dhpp soon (to get the free dishmover) to see if I can get signal in the new apartment. It will be third story, has balcony that has a roof, and railings come up about 3.5-5 feet (guess). There are trees (pine that won't lose their needles) about 20 feet straight out from...

So which is true? Will new ones be upgradable or will they not? If I happen to get an old one that won't upgrade or they just won't, everyone seems to be in agreement D* will replace it correct? I think when we move next month we'll make the switch. It'll be to an apt, so we'll need a big...

Even though I would like to live there, I don't want to battle, and I want quality TV and found another place that allows dishes. I printed out the whole 12 pages from the FCC webpage and took it to them and showed them. They said "ok, but we're still not allowing you, good luck in court." I...

I don't know very much about how the hacking took place, but I am under the impression that requiring a phone line connected to the receiver would help. I know that would alienate anyone with a winter cabin w/o phone service, truckers, travelers, etc and not sure how to reconcile that yet. If...

taken from the aticle posted (thank you): Q: Are there restrictions that may be placed on residents of rentalproperty? A: Yes. A restriction necessary to prevent damage to leased property may bereasonable. For example, tenants could be prohibited from drilling holesthrough exterior walls...

They said they have their own satellite dishes and only provide that service, only 52 channels, the local cable companies will not wire the complex. Can they do that? (not allow private satellite dishes? I thought federal law prevented them from doing that. Could it possibly be a provision of...

Current E* sub, ready to move into a new apartment within next 60 days. Assuming clear LOS, I'd like to switch b/c sports advantage of D*. I've heard posts of people upgrading to the HD Tivo directly from D* for low prices, and was guranteed they would be replaced after/for transition to Mpeg4...
