    Thinking about dropping Directv for Xfinity

    $10 here - $30 there; I am not about hoping from provided to provider. Hell, the hassle and non-stability of jumping back and forth is worth any piddly amount supposedly saved. I have used their cost estimate tools and spoken with others and at the end of the day its always less services for...

    Thinking about dropping Directv for Xfinity

    I am all about the overall selection/offerings and the quality. So no COMCAST for me past the internet my work pays for. Any $$ saved isn't worth the lesser product to me. Been down that road and will never make the same mistake.

    If Directv could improve your experince and keep you for life what would do it?

    # 2 and #3 from above, Never had the #1 issue. ((% of TV's have a better ATSC tuner so no need. #5 is a pipe dream and does not work in reality no matter how good it sounds.

    Slim Line In Puerto Rico

    Maybe they are the DirecTV International dishes? They look similar.. The footprints of the 99 & 103 SAT's have not expanded.. or maybe they are subscribing to DirecTV Puerto Rico? - http://www2.directvpr.com/

    HR34 Dropping Internet Connection (Hard-Wired)

    I enable DHCP (if its not by default) and manually assign IPs to all my devices and have never had issues. That said I do not have the HR34 specifically. If you have the cinema connect kit then use it sure, but no "need" to pay extra for it.. Your issue can be resolved without it.

    sounds and looks like it must a headache vs the appropriate dish (which it was I was referring to over home-grown dishes) seeing it takes all of about 15m to aim one already installed even with no meter; just a compass and your eyes; but I digress

    H20 single line install. What am I missing?

    I didn't think you could use a SlimLine LNB on an old PhaseIII dish? Wrong reflect angles.. All dish types are not the same.
