    Fox Sports Regional game question

    it shouldn't be blacked out. Doesn't mean it won't be, though. College is always really iffy.

    D* Single-wire Solution for MDUs

    Yeah I don't know about the D* process but I would assume its the same as the other companies doing it. http://www.solidsignal.com/cat_display.asp?CAT=Headend I never worked with the equipment in the headends themselves but heard a lot of the terminology. As far as getting set up with...

    D* Single-wire Solution for MDUs

    Eh, I'm not sure that I am answering what you are looking for exactly but yes, there is a Stacked LNB option with D* equipment with MDU's such as apartments. Basically you get a mini-rack and mini-receivers and run them though a stacker and send it out. Thats the quick of it anyways. The...

    D* uses every trick in the book...

    Hrm. I move and DTV will send out an installer and give me a new dish and do the wiring at no charge. And its only another year commitment? Are all guys really so afraid of the "C" word?? Jeez, they are just trying to keep customers. It wouldn't exactly be profitable for them to do all...

    Problems with sportspack in Philadelphia...

    Er sorry, I'm too lazy to edit my other post but I misread what you are trying to do. It would be real unfortunate if you lost your job and had to move to NYC. Then you'd have to call DTV and tell them that you moved to NYC and give them your NYC address. Then you'd get these games and the...

    How can I get Texas Tech basketball games?

    Don't think you'll get any games on the TTTN. I don't think anyone carries it besides the local market in Lubbock. Some of the games on ESPN full court may be broadcast from TTTN, but if the games are on TTTN and not on ESPN full court, don't be suprised =/ As far as the RSNs go, you might...

    Problems with sportspack in Philadelphia...

    What you get is based on your address, not what long/lat you have in the satellite receiver. And actually, you may not even be able to get your city's team games with the NHL/MLB/NBA packages. I know that people in Sacramento (until last year) had no way to get the Kings' games due to them...

    no game on either channel... .

    Well, one of these teams would be considered "your" team. You can look on DTVs website, they have a Sports Nework search by zip code and it'll tell you which games you should receive. However, this is hard for anyone to answer without you telling us where you are. Also, are you sure the game...

    Why is here! ch 190 being cancelled?

    My guess would be a lack of interest on the channel. As far as the other poster goes, HERE! was always a "pay per view" channel. However it also had an option of being a flat rate monthly.

    MLB Extra Innings AND Fox Sports??

    Boondock - you should get your RSN , if you have the sports pack or not. Its part of all the Total Choice packages. If you live in an area that has several teams, you may want to check the RSNa channels. Places like Texas have several teams that all show on Fox Sports Southwest - however...

    MLB Extra Innings AND Fox Sports??

    Baldone - you are lucky then. Being subscribed to the Sports Pack does not bypass blackout rules whatsoever. You get access to the channels themselves and the regular programming, but not the games. The games are blacked out unless you live in that area. If you are getting the games on...

    Customer's Who Are Rude And Want Everything Free

    Although I don't necessarily agree with everything the OP said, I will say that the general attitude of this country is: 1. I want it my way 2. I want it now 3. I want it free Its sad (especially when you get good service from someone) but thats how it is. Some friends of my parents'...

    Whats the deal with "HD Lite"?

    prad is either in extreme denial or a DTV employee. I am by no means an HD junkie/expert whatever you want to call it. So its extreme coincidence that me and my roommate both noticed a problem with HD service a week apart despite no change (except replacing every damn cable in the apartment...

    DTV and Verizon partnership in the works?

    oops. I forgot to report my findings on here and just remembered today. My Verizon buds (which are NOT satellite groovy) told me that Verizon has their own satellite to provide the channels. I am guessing they are just buying bandwidth off another satellite as I have not heard of them having...

    modems in DTV receivers

    Does anyone know if the DTV receivers have any menu options to change INIT strings for the modems? I am unable to find anything except on the Hughes receivers. Apparently, these have some menus for things like DTMF String but no real way I can find to edit anything. Anyone know if any...

    Now That DirecTV Has Raised Prices Again

    2 price increases over the last 2 years but thats the only price increases in how many years...? I'm sorry but for MPEG 4, active channels (*cough*februaryisover*cough*) and who knows what else, I'm willing to pay an extra $3 a month. Do yourself a favor and brownbag it to work one day a...

    Direct tv or Dish PL Help

    I would think about getting D* over E* if it were me. I like E* a lot, however, they do not have any clear future for HD services currently. At least D* has a plan - and that plan is MPEG4. The only problem with D* currently is that the receivers will have to be upgraded (read as "replaced")...

    New DTV questions ?

    I don't think satellite channel changing will ever be as fast as analog. I remember when I first got digital cable and I thought that the channels changing were so slow and it drove me to the point of insanity. Then after a month I got used to it and I don't even notice it any more. I have...

    Anyone heard anything about The Tennis Channel?

    Tennis, in my opinion, is a far more interesting sport than golf. How many 60+ yr olds you see playing soccer and tennis? hmm. Golf is an old person and elitist sport. Neither of these fit me. I would welcome the golf channel getting the boot and tennis being put in its place, but...
