    New Channels in October

    For me, it's losing 30 channels of MusicChoice and paying the same, as I sub to XM for the vehicles & home and to DirecTV for the home. MusicChoice has no announcers and has an all-instrumentals easy listening channel (DTV #833). EchoStar's Dish kept their 50 Muzak channels when they added...

    Rumor True! XM Is Coming To Directv!

    Going to miss the all-instrumentals easy listening channel and the singers and standards channel on Music Choice. Although I like XM's Sunny 24, it's contaminated with vocals. And Frank's place is no replacement for MC's standards. When it comes any kind of music, I don't want announcers...

    What is a broker

    I have a broker, recently re-upped with them for another year; but they no longer sell ExpressVu equipment. Now I want to get a HD receiver. Tried Can-Am, and they wont sell to me unless I use them as broker. Ku-Sat's web site appears to sell only to Canadians & requires signed 2-yr...

    Will tree branches and leaves block the signal?

    Don't forget that with the typical offset dish, the face of the LNBF is offset 22.5 degrees below the perpenicular to the plane of the reflector. Meaning that the signal is coming in from 22.5 degrees ABOVE the perpendicular to the reflectors plane (or 45 degrees above the LNBF). I use a...
