    My satellite story..... I need reassurance!!

    a good tech will work with you to put the job in the ground, pardon the pun. remember that he'll not get paid if he can't do it. if he accomplishes what he set out to do to your satisfaction, a tip would be a nice gesture.

    Is Directv ripping me off??

    Don't blame an installer for not discussing any contractual agreement. That is not our job, nor is it to discuss fees or charges!!!

    Installation Assistance Requested

    whether you use the cement-in-the-flowerpot-approach or the non-pen, you'll need a 2" od mast. Flat cable will fail over time if not fail instantly. Avoid flat cable (even the ones that are swept to 3 Ghz) when installing an au9 system. If there's no way to hide cable penetration, pass them...

    Losing local channels/721 error

    721 is "channel not purchased" so that's a programing issue for D* to fix. Threr's nothing wrong with your dish.

    Orientation and Satellite Positions

    To put it bluntly, 1 degree off the sats is 380 miles of that sat 22,300 miles in space. Do the math. The 103 and the 99 sats are even less forgiving when it comes to accuaracy.
