    Netflix Raises Fees for Blu-Ray...AGAIN!!!

    I dumped blockbuster. We had three movies at a time from them, and they throttled our account so often it wasn't funny. Then they put a limit on the in-store swaps, which I could live with, but they also took out 2 instore coupons for games per month away--which I actually used for games, and...

    primestar recognition

    They area where the logo sticker went is usually NOT textured, right? So, one could look for the shape of the logo where it used to go. The big ones also had P* on the feed cover sides.

    Top Movies are a gyp!

    I hate to be a wet blanket, but people like you are the reason this stuff is available. What kind of sucker rents a VOD or a PPV when there exists netflix? I do not know the answer to this, but aparently, you shave with him. :D

    Flat Roof Dish Install

    It shouldn't move around as long as he didn't do this: LOL. And yes, that one moves around. I got us a pallet off the tire truck and put it out back, but some ghetto jackass stole it before I could take it up on the roof and put the dish on it. Firestone doesn't want to pay for a...

    DirecTV Scam

    ...in my old tivo. I could also use a weaknees unit, but this only makes since if it avoids a bloody commitment. So, if I repair and reactivate my old Tivo, are they gonna make me commit? I understand that I could call D*, but they are incompetent morons, and I don't trust no stinking...

    You sound like a jerk, and I feel sorry for that tech. He should probably replace the 11 year old cable, though.

    Surround Sound Forgotten?

    I don't understand why you would run "surround sound" through a TV in the first place. To me, "surround sound" goes to a processor/reciever. TV speakers suck and can never measure up to a proper system.

    Will my installer take down a competitors dish

    Honestly, he wasn't out of line. I wouldn't have done it either. Every trip up the ladder has a chance to end in disaster, and I am not swinging my ass in the wind for free. So, unless it was directly in my way, it stays. Monopoles are always required.

    Dish Locals Shutdown and DirectTV

    I think you are all getting ripped off. I would never have dish after having them f me over as a subcontractor for 18 months. I haven't had D* since my TiVo R10 hard drive died. Local stations are nutty for asking for ANY money from anybody other than advertisers. If they get paid for me to...

    Found worlds largest Primestar dish?

    ...call on the one I mentioned, but that was 8+ years ago and the thing was already bleached white. The guy said he was one of the first to get P* in that area. Any of you ever checked out "miniature satellite dishes" by Dr. Frank Baylin? I have a copy of the second edition I made my...

    Canceled sub today

    What a PITA. Not really a fan of the sirius changes. I gave it until my last day of school, but since I am on medical leave b/c of a motorcycle crash, and finished with school, I don't anticipate driving much (mine was a real XM, not a roady type radio), I won't need it. Too bad my head unit...

    Pam spray

    do whatever you want. The idea is to get the water off the dish before it ices up. Snow won't be a factor if it doesn't have ice to stick to. If your dish is where you can reach it or hit it with a sprayer, you can de-ice it with windshield deicer, but we only get snow once every two years...
