Hi guys, Is CNN available on basic cable in the the Twin Cities on channel 3 on Comcast? It use to be. Comcast's website and customer support is giving me conflicting information. Thanks, Matt

Hey Guys, I was wondering what my rights are and what the likelihood was that I would be able to put up a dish from dish network. I have a large patio according to my best guess and calculations it should work. What I am wondering is if my landlord will approve of me putting up a dish. Have...

Well, if that is the case I am going with Dish Network. Two year commitments are crazy. I would even be willing to pay a $100 or $200 without having to sign a contract. Oh well, their loss. Thanks everyone. Matt

Hey guys, I want dish service. I have been thinking about Dish Network, but also want to look at DirectTV. Is there anyway to get DirectTV without the two year commitment? Please let me know. Thanks. Matt

Hey Guys, I had a Dish Network Pointing question. I think I'll be able to view the Dish 500+, Dish 1000+, and Dish 1000.2 satellites but not the Dish 1000.4 satellites. Is that going to limit my channels? I got my information from dishpointer.com I would love to get a dish finally. :) I am...

So which lnbf will provide the most channels? Should I buy a standard lnbf to upgrade the system? Thanks for all of the help. Matt

I have a couple other questions. So if I go with the more expensive system that being the "M-2 Motorized DYNAMIC Satellite Choice Set" system I'll get more channels? Also, what if I can't reach true south? I think there is a tree in the way. I know for sure I can reach some satellites, but I...

Hey Guys, I have been doing some serious thinking about my first FTA system. I have decided that I will go with one of the following two systems. They both can be found here: Motorized Free To Air Satellite system will allow you to move the dish to several satellites to watch more channels. ...

Are there any DVB-S2 and HDTV systems that have blind scan? Thanks for all of the help! Matt

Hi guys, Are there any good IRC chatrooms for FTA? I did a google search and all I found were for "eye patch" FTA. Thanks for your help in advance. Regards, Matt

I appreciate all of the great advice. This will be my first satellite system of any kind and definitely my first FTA setup. Here are a few systems I have been looking at: Motorized Free To Air Satellite system will allow you to move the dish to several satellites to watch more channels.  A...
