    RF Remote Control

    Stonecold is a bias jerk!

    Sometimes, in my hurry to respond to a post I am not as careful with my spelling as I would like. I use a program called ieSpell. This program lets you spell check you posts in a forum. Lifesaver for me. Just an FYI

    Have Dish-want direct-Dish want fee to remove dish

    Need help bypassing parental controls @ work.

    People are lazy. The unblock code is probably 1111 That being said, probably impossible to enter without the remote. Directv will sell you one.

    Just curious

    I was watching the news last week about the earthquake in Chile. Saw a big satellite dish (Not as big as a BUD) with directv logo on it. Guestimate was that it was 3 foot dish. If you lived in south america, could you get North American programing via Directv? I am asking about legal...

    The two year commitment is a commitment to stay with Directv. You are doing that, so it should be no problem
