    HR24-500 DECA and MRV Issues

    Well i figured out the problem it was a combination of the following 3 items.... first i did the reauthorization as shown in a topic in the support forum, then I replaced the network cable with a cat6, and finally hooked it directly to my router instead of going through my cisco 2900XL series...

    using 2 dishes to get signal

    You can do it... you just have to figure out what connectors on the LNB are for which satellite... and take the 2 lines from the other dish and connect them to a multi dish switch! WARNING if you are using a E* dish for 110 and 119 it more than likely will not work... I only got a single LNB...

    Frustrating Order Experience

    Vodafone, Verizon, and Frontier are all really messed up companies... more so than AT&T/SBC/Ameritech/Baby Bells/Bell Example... if corporate/HR/DM finds out about a possible unionizing of employees they start going fire happy in the district... Meanwhile AT&T/Verizon Comm Landline...

    Frustrating Order Experience

    That is exactly why Frontier offers nothing... it is now a European company trying to make as much money as they can from Americans... I only see it getting worse unfortunately.... Also, Verizon Wireless employees now have a strict protocol (at least for wisconsin and illinois) as to how to...

    Frustrating Order Experience

    My wife just notified me that as of late last week you no longer get redirected to Verizon Comm... However Since Vodafone owns Frontier and owns 48% of Verizon Comm and 41% of VZW they both have a very strong correlation. The structure goes as such now according to my wife Vodafone ->...

    She works for Verizon Wireless... and we only get Uverse, charter cable, E*, and D* here. Also, out of curiosity what does her working for Verizon Wireless have to do with D*... Verizon Wireless and Verizon Land Line are 2 separate companies... If I misunderstood what you are saying please let...
