The last I found was on e-bay. Though I only needed about 5, several suppliers that provide in bulk have a presence there.

Except he said the landlord did sign the consent forms. If these are anything like I've signed in the past (I'm an evil landlord too), I suspect these forms essentially sign away the dish and cabling to the landlord, and release the satellite company from any responsibility. Unless the...

Here's an interesting story that made the front page of Sunday's Greenville News about Charter selling cable without a franchise agreement in place to do so (it expired). GreenvilleOnline.com -Local News-Charter sells cable without franchise agreement - (12/9/2007)

I guess Geronimo's post explains it all for me. I am EXTREMELY happy with Dish (and DirecTV -- yes, I have both) because I do my own installation. Like Geronimo says, I am not too pleased with the channel disputes that Dish often has (like that going on with MLB EI). However, I figure...

Welcome aboard, Glorystar!!!!

Well...here I am a year later, after going to Charter. My experience??? Well...I've already placed the order with Bellsouth/ATT to switch me back. I couldn't wait to ditch the TV service, so I have already reinitiated my DirecTV subscription. Once Charter got my Moxi DVR in here, and added...

LOL...I know how to do just about everything that the Charter installers do, and really don't like other people messing around with my equipment. Other than my HD receiver box (which was an even swap), I've never been lucky enough to have them offer to let me install my own equipment. Heck, I...

Just a thought, but I read somewhere (maybe on this board) that Dish was mapping the NPS channels to the old East/West channel numbers. I wonder if what you guys are seeing could be an anomoly related to that.

Just speculating here as well also, but they may be looking for alias names and previous addresses to help curb fraud.

Personally, I would go with one of the international packages, such as Dish Network's Itallian package which has Euronews. I'm not sure what all DirecTV offers. Alternatively, there are grey dish options that (as of present) are legal. I know some people on this board have discussed...

I'm sorry if I'm bitter toward Charter, but I feel as though Charter has screwed their customers many times since they started in this market. I don't want to get started on this soapbox, however, because I have had several experiences myself with Charter (including incorrect billing and...

For the next 3 months, I'm double paying for DirecTV and Charter, before I move back to DirecTV/Bellsouth in the Greenville area. My wife and daughter hate the phone and (analog) tv service. The Moxi has problems. My gripe is that the Internet service appears to be slower for the same speed...

I know that everything is available in S.C. and Georgia. N.C. has restrictions on certain channels -- even in metro areas such as Charlotte.

1) Sometime early 11/29 2) It's at my cabin in the Atlanta DMA 3) n/a 4) Sent email - no phone call yet

I have subscribed to DNS through both DISH and DirecTV in the past, and they were actually easier to get through DirecTV than with DISH. In fact, it took months for me to be able to acquire the necessary waivers from the local broadcasters because DISH's computer said I "should be able" to pick...
