    Will I need a new Dish?

    oh yea, i know about the additional reciever fees, I just don't want to pay the rental fees for 24 months, esp. if my fam (whom i am buying the equipment for) decide they don't want HD service any more.

    Need advise on replace Dish500 with SuperDish (121)

    It uses a thicker mount and different alignment settings. It needs a thicker mount because the dish is bigger, and it needs to be pointed at the FSS satellite requiring different numbers.

    Superdish Billing Problem

    CSR roulette seemed to work. I talked to a guy who said he is going to post the 175+tax adjustment to the bill, so all i will owe is 4 bucks for the 3 weeks of locals I have for July. He says he has to first get approval for the adjustment.

    Installers came by and tried to put in the superdish, but couldn't find anywhere to put it that would get adequate signal. My old 119 dish however, is mounted near the same location, has a 2x4 blocking it, and some trees, and still receives 99 signal. The super dish was then mounted much...

    Any point in getting multi sports package?

    You made the same mistake I did. I bought Multi-sport to be able to watch pro soccer, and it too was blacked out. Multi-sport, imo, serves no purpose. Just buy a season package.

    Friend wants Voom

Anyways, I want him to get Voom as soon as possible so he can use his Plasma HDTV to the fullest (and so I can watch HDTV whenever i...
