    Is now the time to switch to D* and the HD Tivo?

    So which is true? Will new ones be upgradable or will they not? If I happen to get an old one that won't upgrade or they just won't, everyone seems to be in agreement D* will replace it correct? I think when we move next month we'll make the switch. It'll be to an apt, so we'll need a big...

    just talked to apt. complex, said no private sat dishes allowed?

    Even though I would like to live there, I don't want to battle, and I want quality TV and found another place that allows dishes. I printed out the whole 12 pages from the FCC webpage and took it to them and showed them. They said "ok, but we're still not allowing you, good luck in court." I...

    Dish cust may switch, but has ?s

    I am a current E* sub, and employee but will be resigning soon, which means I'll lose my $31.99 monthly "free programming credit", so I'll probably switch to D*. I have some questions though before switching. I qualify for Roanoke VA locals, I believe I need a 'triple lnb' dish? Something...
