I must be getting senile in my old age. Would DirecTV move a subscriber from Total Choice Plus to Total Choice without informiing the subscriber? We signed on in May 05 as Total Choice Plus. I remember this distinctly because we wanted TCM, FX, FMC and A&E. Have been very pleased to date...

No phone competition and thus stuck with dialup with very slow speed. Connection is worse or non-existent when damp outside. I am not good with all this technology and can't make much out of posts here, so please answer in simple language. Satellite internet connection would be our only...

Do subscribers have any input into the programing? If so, how does one go about it? Thanks

Thank you everybody! I plan to call NPS tech support tomorrow. I sure want to get my NFL. Priorities, you know.

We have the 4DTV receiver, and we get all our premium channels on cband because we get more on cband than we can on the little dish. I just went to W1 and can't get a thing. I can find no channel to fine tune. Who do I call to get these to work? Do you think NPS will help us? We are old and...

I understand that Denver-5 has moved to another satellite. Does anyone know where Denver is located now? (It's time for football!)

OK, I just hiked up to satellite. All metal behind the dish is rusty. Is there a drawing/diagram of a big dish so I will know what the moving parts are that I need to grease/oil. Thanks

Gosh, thanks! I was afraid something was wrong. I'll go check it now.

Probably a stupid question, but I never noticed before that our Big Dish noticibly vibrates when moving from one satellite to another. It is a very lg white dish - not a mesh. We have had it for 15 yrs and never noticed this shaking. Should we be concerned, and have someone check out...

Yes. Can I post a competitor forum here? It would be easier - then you can read all info yourself.

OK...I just found a way to fine tune to a satellite for XM. Turn off power. Hit numbers 2, 0, 7 - then hit the XM button (wheel). After 5 seconds, hit the display button. You can then turn the antenna until you get the lowest number for BER and (hit display again) highest number for...

Thanks Charper1 I don't know how I got so mixed up. Plan to re-do my antenna tomorrow!

My antenna is like an "L" - facing into the mtn! I really don't know how I get a signal at all unless it is like the DirecTV satellite which aims to mtn but locks on in the sky. It is wierd. I will try suggestions tomorrow if no rain. Thanks I live in northern NC mtns I signed up for five...

I live between two mtns. I have had my XM for over yr with no problem until last Fall. I purchased a 50 ft cable ext kit with amplifier so that I could move the antenna outside. I am quite confused because the kit says that the satellite is S to SE in the sky; however, my antenna seems to work...
