Well, first satellite ever was 1997 DirecTV system that I bought and installed myself. Then in 2002 I switched to Dish, and honestly, never been impressed with their technology. Have had 301, 811, 211K, and now the hopper with one joey. It has been about 24 hours and I know big change from 301's...

Wonder if a Directv or Dish Network customer could jump in on these, and get some money? LOL Kind of reminds me of AT&T and Verizon's battle going on... AT&T is misleading big time by talking about the voice coverage, while Verizon has always mentioned 3G. (I'd like to sue AT&T for false...

OK my .02... Why is anyone surprised by this? The fact that Dish Network is moving content to another bird that no one has? How many satellite slots do they have? Heck, it is a wonder they've kept stuff on 61.5 this long. If they move it to another slot, then you have to spend more money to get...

Don't feel bad, I'm 32 and I too have played video games since Atari 2600. It was the first game system for me too when I was a very young kid in the early 80's (then Nintendo and SNES, N-64, a break of a few years, then a XBOX, GameCube and finally XBOX 360 and recently a Wii. No Sony play...

Yeah, I understand how that would not be good. Though I have to say, I have never had any billing problems from AT&T and I've had home phone through SBC/AT&T for years along with my cell phone being from SBC/Cingular/AT&T since 2001. I'm no fan of AT&T and do think they are using an excuse of...

Yes, however, I don't go as far as some I know in celebrating Christmas...

Shucks, I was hoping you'd have went with satellite... Bet you wouldn't complain about Charter cable internet if you had satellite for a month or two. Funny, satellite has been my only choice (maybe maybe 3G finally in the last few months) and I have been stuck with it. Now someone who has much...

Thanks everyone, will certainly try 3G out the first chance I get. (money etc.) and since I've read you have a few days (will ask before signing up) I will certainly give it a shot and if it don't work, then return. It is funny to me, AT&T is supposed to be big in my area, after all I am in...

Thanks Digiblur, i will take a look at EVDOForums.com and see if I can't dig up anything. Gotta remember, I'm in Okie land, LOL doubt there is much out there, but will look, thanks for the info. Tate I know what you are saying, I'm just hoping to find a alternative. When you've got the choice...

OK, I live less than a mile away from AT&T's DSL coverage area, and have been on Hughesnet for the past three or four years and started noticing Verizon's commericals about 3G coverage. So I went and started doing some research. Verizon and Sprint both have my area within their coverage maps...

I got the ring of death about 1 1/2 months ago, and went through the repair process, boxed up my 360 and shipped it off under extended warranty. About a week later got replacement 360, it is a different console but same hardware. Have had no issues with unit at all so far, thankfully. Though I...

Q: Bill I have local channels in my Dish Network package & live near the state line of Florida & Alabama the closest station to me is across the border from the state line from me, Why can't I get it? A: Thats something we are living with they set up something called DMA's Designated Market...

OK, got cards for 301's 2 months or so ago, but NODA for 211K. No pop-ups that I've seen (though honestly, haven't been watching LOTS of TV lately) What up with that? And as far as bye-bye hackers, LOL come now, you know people out there won't rest until they hack new security... wish it too...

You'll see them mapped together... I went in and put in the HD channel in my favorite list and left out SD channel so I only had to browse through one of them... When you look in guide or flip channels it will go through every channel in order if you don't but if you just punch in channel number...

I've just got to say something. You can drill off our shores all day long and you will NEVER get enough oil to get us away from middle-east oil!!!! We don't have oil here not like the rest of the world, we do have natural gas but even that would be used up quickly. My view is simple, listen...
