    OK - I am being installed tomorrow. Need advice

    C.C. Sabathia: Traded to Brewers?

    And Sabathia with another complete game, a 3 hit shutout. As a Brewer fan I would just like to thank the Indians. Actually the Tribe is my favorite AL team, but anyhow thanks. I wonder if it is possible to win the Cy Young with a half season? :)

    MLB Trade deadline/rumors thread

    So the Brewers did not get Taschner but did get Durham for Ford and AAA soft tossing pitcher Hammond. All this team needs is one more bullpen arm...

    MLB Trade deadline/rumors thread

    Supposedly the Brewers have moved AA prospect catcher Angel Salome, AAAA player Brad Nelson, and light hitting single A prospect Darren Ford to the Giants for Ray Durham and left handed bullpen pitcher Jack Taschner.

    C.C. Sabathia: Traded to Brewers?

    As a Brewer fan I would be happy with moving Fielder. Personally, I can't stand him botch another routine play at first base. He also sure doesn't help the infielders at all on a throw in the dirt because his scooping ability is atrocious. Add all this to the ballooning weight and tendency to...

    C.C. Sabathia: Traded to Brewers?

    Because an injury prone Sheets will come at a lower price. We could also argue whether he is really injury prone or just some bad luck with things... like an inner ear infection that throws off balance. Sheets will probably garner about 15 mil a year where Sabathia is probably going to want at...

    C.C. Sabathia: Traded to Brewers?

    Laporta was touted the #1 prospect by baseball america but in the brewer organization the most coveted players are easily Escobar and Gamel. Gamel will fill the hole at 3rd base left by Braun in a year or two. His defense is well... worse than Braun's was. Escobar is said to be the next Jose...

    Tips on getting installer to complete install

    It's not an excuse. The tech doesn't get paid if he doesn't do the job. It's covering his own butt from getting back charged. When I was an installer if it was close to being a LOS issue I shied away from it. Last thing I want to do is to dig a hole, fill it with concrete, pop my dish on top...

    Big Ten / ACC Challenge Matchups Announced

    No kidding! Since the ACC/BT Challenge has started, WI has played 6 away games and one neutral court game as opposed to three home games. They have also gotten the middle of the road ACC teams while finishing at or near the top of the BT every year.

    E* Guy Needs Help From D* Guys

    You should be alright. When I used to install I had an install at Fall Creek and they had just moved from M/SP area. Their receivers still received the M/SP spot beam. They wanted the EC/Lacrosse locals however and were switched over but the M/SP locals were coming in just fine. Not sure on...

    Although now that I think about it... Yost did leave Capuano in for his 21 game no win streak for the Brewers.

    Cincinnati Reds in HD on FSN Cincinnati

    Me too! As long as it can get Dave Bush out of the rotation, I hope they get beat 20-1 until he is removed... which should be upon Gallardo's return.

    Question about new service.

    The installation company said that would remove a standard from the work order so you are good to go. They will just note that instead of a standard the HD DVR has to go in. The installer should have no problem, especially since you have all the lines run. In fact, I wish it was me doing the...

    New Direct Customer

    I'm guessing it's only certain LNB's that E* wants back. Most customers did not require the LNB that was removed so I just scrapped them. If they asked then I always made sure to give them the LNB.

    Help On Dtv Self Install

    As long as the post above is correct about not needing a 2nd dish for your market this is really straight forward. First Home: You will need the slimline. Run two lines from the dish to your HR21. The Slimline has a built in multi switch up to four lines. If you happen to get more receivers...

    New Install Question

    As an installer I always asked whether the customer wanted the dishes up there. I always figured I am already up there anyhow and just a few turns on the wrench and it's off. If they wanted me to remove the dishes I would double check the mounts and how stable they were. If they were strong...

    A few questions about upgrading to HD...

    You do not need the phone line. For the fees aspect... there will be an HD fee of 9.99 for all the HD channels except the extra pack which has channels like Smithsonian which is free for 3 months on most promotions but is $4.99 after that. Also there is a $5.99 DVR fee regardless of how many...

    New to DirecTV's offerings...

    You're going to hear both ways on the PQ. As far as I can tell D*'s picture quality is very good. Just a reminder. I edited my post above. The HD-DVR can only use an eSATA external hard drive, not a usb.

    Possible new customer

    Well the 72.5 would be only for locals in certain markets so if D* doesn't carry them you would not need that satellite. Sorry should have clarified what it was for in previous post.
