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...

...language. Satellite internet connection would be our only other option as there is no DSL or cable here. I want to make an informed decision: *how many satellite companies are there? *which one would be best for the tech impaired? *what is downside of satellite connection vs dialup? I...

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...

Can't get any channels on W-1. We were getting Denver5 until they cut us off early December. Any advice on getting W-1? No reason to subscribe to the new channels if we can't get them. TIA

We got DirectTV in May but kept the premium channels on C-Band via NPS. Today we got notice from Netlink that Starz & Encore will no longer be available after this year. (Also, HGTV is being dropped which doesn't effect us since we now have the little dish). I sure hope this isn't true as...

great idea! thanks

This is our first yr of DirecTV. We live in mtns with snow and ice starting in mid-Oct. I'm thinking ahead here (perhaps I'm thinking too much), but am wondering if it would hurt the dish to put rain-x on it; or even de-icer once ice gets on the dish? Theory for rain-x is to keep ice from...

Very helpful all. Thanks. I did try the "0" and they said "hold on please". I held on to the music for 45 minutes. I then got on dial up and posted this. I ALWAYS have great sucess online.

I have called two different 800 numbers with DirecTV and am not allowed to talk to live person. The automatec voice says: Because there is such a long wait to speak with an associate, we will let you answer your question by automation. Then no matter what choice I make, I cannot get an answer...

Todd Thanks for your help. I hooked it up, and it WORKS! I have my ears again!

Thanks for Welcome and for help! The box says Model# D10

OK...I may not know what words to use or what I am doing....but that is why I am here! We just got DirecTV after having CBand for years. I used wireless earphones (I THINK it is called infrared) to listen to programs that my husband did not want to listen to. But when we switched, we forgot to...

Hi everyone My husband and I have C-Band w/ 4dtv and LOVE it! Problem is that "they" keep cutting the programming...ie TCM, LifeTime, and FoxNet. We are debating on whether to go the route of KU-Band and MPEG2 or the little dish -- ie DirecTV or Dish. Neither one of us are good with...
