    Movers Connection

    We do not uninstall dishes. Directv likes to leave them up for the next people that come along as a kind of advertising. You should not have to renew your contract unless you get new equipment. and yes movers is free once a year.

    Slimline 5LNB Low 119 Signal

    If you are in a 72.5 market your locals are now coming from the99/103, so you should not need the 72.5 dish, unless you have non HD equipment. As far as the 119 you have no programming on that so it does not matter. Only problem you may have is a 920 OSD. Just change your sat setup to the kaku3...

    Use Dish 500 ant to Rec Direct 101w

    a dish is a dish doesnt matter what it says on it, the key is the LNB, it needs to be the proper one. Directv's LNB differs from Dish Network!

    Verizon may bid for D*

    Yes I agree there are many bad techs out there for every provider. They are few and far between, but there are some really awesome techs out there and we never get the recognition that we deserve:confused:. Why is it on here that I always see tech bashing and very little praise?!?

    Adios Directv

    It depends on the "CSR". If they do not swap it out correctly then yes the system thinks you are getting an upgrade and extends a contract. If it is done as a service swap in the system then it will "NOT" trigger one. You just have to emphasize that it is infact a SERVICE SWAP. They are supposed...
