Tech. license holder here!

Hi, Yeah, the generic weather channel sucks. I like Dish, but on Comcast they had the "regional" weather channel and then they also had a weather channel for your city (or nearest large city). I would suggest buying a NOAA weather radio with SAME. I have 2 of them and they are great...

I went cell phone only a month ago. I was tired of paying SBC $60/mth for nothing. We just use Nextel's with the free direct-connect feature alot. I know my co-worker had Direct and he has no phone line and he never had a problem. He just has to call cust. svc. to order PPV. I have Dish and...

Hopefully not, and if they do then it should be a premium channel in which only paid subscribers can view it.

Hi ,I can't answer your DVR questions because I record to DVD, but I can answer the others. I only lost my Dish signal twice and it was during Tornado/Severe Thunderstorm Warnings and the signal was out for maybe 10-15 minutes. Heavy rain has not been a problem. This will be my first Winter...

I have called tech support about 5 times in the 4 months I had Dish. Most of it was for programming changes and a couple of calls were for receiver problems. I spoke with a couple of really good CSR's and a couple of morons with no clue (they were American too!). I have never had to speak with...

Speaking Of Ice On The Dish I live in lower Michigan and we get some snow and ice in the winter season. I have my dish on the side of the house on a pole about 5 feet off the ground so I can remove snow,etc. from it. My question is, is it safe to spray de-icer on the dish if a freezing rain...

Oh no! "Sucks" is such a terrible word!! How could anyone say that on TV??? Give me a break, with the trashy programming on TV now ,children are much more prone to hear much worse words. What a joke.

Do you live in a Bible-Belt state?

When DirecTV started they were MPEG1 (roughly VCR quality). When they went to MPEG2 did people have to get new receivers? I have a DSS information and installation book written in 1995 and it does say DirecTV was originally MPEG1 at first.

So I could just add KTLA if I wanted and not get the other Supers?

What will the prices be after the Comcast promo is over? After my Comcast promotions were up I was paying $112/mth for Digital Plus (no HBO,SHO,etc) and High speed.I ended up switching to Dish. I was forced to keep Comcast HSI as DSL is not yet available here. Comcast customer service around...

I have been contemplating subscribing to the Multi-Sport Pack and possibly the Supers Pack (KTLA,etc). My question is on the Multi-Sport Pack. How many events are blacked out. I try to watch some events on the alternate sports channels (I believe in the 430's) and only once out of maybe 80 times...

Comcast is a rip-off. After your promotions are up you will be raped for the full amount.

Hey I would do the same thing. Cable and Satellite are rip-offs anyway. What choice do we have though. It's basically pick which company will screw you- Direct, Dish, Comcast, Charter,Adelphia,etc.

Send them back USPS Media Mail.

Logo TV?? Whats that?

So what does MPEG4 mean? The MPEG2 receivers will be obsolete and they can rape us for MPEG4 receivers?

I think Stern is a degenerate sicko. His Michael Jackson skit from 1994 was funny- I guess.

I have Dish and have had no problems. i lost the signal twice in 3 months due to severe thunderstorms, but other than that the picture is magnificent. I have a signal of 123 and 95-100 on the weaker bird. If you continue to have signal issues and Dish won't help, then yeah, cancel them. This...

Dont play the politically correct nit-wit. Or do you think as you're told to think. Anyway- piss off.

My question is, if I drop the locals package, how can I receive them using OTA means like "rabbit ears". I can get all the locals without paying Dish an extra $5/mth. Anyway, if I dump the local package will the Dish receiver display the local channels OTA, or will I have to put the television...

I gave up and sold the wireless phone jacks back on Ebay. They worked for phones, but my Dish receiver couldnt use them. It said "connection OK" in diagnostics, but the dial-out always failed. I gave up and drilled a hole to the basement under my entertainment center and ran the phone line to a...

That is one thing Comcast has going for them. I still have Comcast HSI and anytime I needed help I always spoke to an American, not some gook in Korea. I have called Dish 3 times and 2 of the 3 times went well, but one of them was an idiot who just didnt know anything. I remember when I had...
