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...

Apparently, my TiVo didn't get the memo about bush pushing the fall back sunday off a week. I have no landline, as TiVo has graciously reminded me for every single day 600+ times (it keeps count!). My wife was all worried about the recordings. Haven't noticed any other issues. I suppose I...

What kind of computers are you guys seeing out in the field? Nearly everytime I encounter a customer, they complain about speed. My wife was riding shotgun and quickly formed the opinion that VSAT was crap. My take (and I told her this) is that the service can only be percieved as good as...

When we had time warner, you could alternatively get the same service through earthlink and AOL. Does anyone know of anything similar with commcast? They are raising the rate and it isn't worth what it costs already....

It says my DVR service is not activated. WTF is going on? I have never seen this message before. I do have TV, but this thing has probably cost me some timers going off, if it didn't delete them. I am currently stuck in troubleshooting hell, as I tried a reset just before I called because I...

Our two contestants today are Phil and Steve. Phil is a wimpy 1Ghz F81 and Steve is a more manly 3 Ghz F81.

Anybody know how long it takes to get paid? I put my claim in back in August and was only able to get somebody on the phone yesterday. They said they recieved my enrollment, but not my application or 214. So, yesterday, I filled out the VONAP and uploaded a PDF of the 214 with it. It was...

Why do dumbasses sign up for residential services when they are running a business from home? I had a QC this weekend where somebody paid the cash to have the service (residential), hit the FAP within the first week, got pissed and disconnected. I didn't get to do the QC because they had...

Aparently, I am signed up for wild blue training in memphis, however, they say I must first complete the online portion. Where the hell do you find this at? Before any flame wars erupt, I am asking here first because a google search turned up nada, and I could find nothing about it on...

Is there anyway to pull a deleted file off the scrap heap on a non hacked R10? I just deleted one of my wifes favorite shows accidentally!

They want me to catch this service call. Dude called in this morning, and threatened to cancel E* if he didn't get a free service call. Well, He wasn't home tonight, but I wouldn't have fixed it if he was. He's scheduled for tommorrow, so he can cool his jets until I feel like dealing with...

found this here. Guess I won't be installing in Jackson Ms anytime soon. However, it was my impression that this was against the OTARD rules found here. Anybody ever run into this type of thing before? Is it legal? I was researching to see what type of licenses, ect might be required in MS.

I just found out that somebody I know owns an MSP, and I am in their territory. I last worked for him when he was a E* retailer. I did some overflow work for him, and before that, our careers have been entertwined with a couple of other companies dating back to primestar. I haven't...

I got a work order for someone with a 301 ONLY (no notes to the effect of them having a 622 on site) who is getting a dish1000 upgrade. WO lists tops 180, DMA Memphis, and DMA Little Rock (wtf?)--no high def package. Is there a legit reason for this, or did dish fubar the order?

61.5 dish, no longer needed. Dish 500 Close up of the dangling 21 switches backed off view of 21 switches and craptacular wiring. more junky wiring..... Ground. nice. close up of ground. Cable entry, bedoom. Cable to the living room, over...

What kind of advantage is to be had with replacing the RG6 from the cable modem out to the pedastal with RG11? Will it help "pings" and what not?

I'm constantly getting WOs with the address all fubard. My install for today says: johnny q customer 402 rural, ar 12345-0000 So I look up the phone number (google) and turn up the street name and am now able to find the customer, if I can't get them on the horn (there are many times...

E* almost screwed it up. The customer ordered on 2/1, but never got his box, so he called about a week ago and they overnighted it. I thought it was gonna be bad. The customer seriously wanted that dish 1000, but I finally talked him down from that ledge. There just wasn't anywhere to...

Anybody know where I can get a list of what retailers are paying for their E* equipment? I got a retailer acting buggy on me and I need to ensure I keep enough of their equipment on hand to cover what they owe me in case it all goes down the crapper. I'm really getting sick of this company...
