why did the installer say they couldn't do an eave mount? do some only want to mount to wood and not stucco? i was thinking eave mount too but unfortunately took his word for it. they even carry the eave mount hardwarem Can I ask for a supervisors supervisor or do they not give a damn?

This comes after two fruitless installer visits that were both late and told me what I already knew being an avid reader of D* forums. Had they called the night before it would have saved time. First pic is my fascia board. The DirectSat Installer said the location is okay but fascia board is...

Is there a limit or will D* get nasty if you frequently change your programming so you can watch whatever you want? i.e. HBO to get Entourage then switch to STARZ for a couple good movies on Friday then back to HBO on Sunday for Entourage again? The change is so fast it would be easy but I...

Wait. If I orde my PPV online I could watch it on any ofmy TVs? Say, watch half of the movie downstairs then half upstairs? I thought when you ordered online it made you check a bx for the receiver you want the PPV on.

And they will accept this printed one? Thanks.

Can I get the rabte with a printed out form from online ,or does the rebate form come with my bill?

Sweet. Must Ivo free Skinemax

I still have my round dish with my HD Tivo until installation comes next week. yet I get West Coast CBS and NBC HD. Does the round dish pick up these two feeds or am I just getting an SD version of them? On my SD Tivo upstairs they don't even show in the guide.

happy Customer Both VE and D* have made me a happy customer. It just goes to show how attention to the customer, whatever the motivation, can make a sub happy. First off, Robert has been very helpful to all of us. I got my credits from D*, ordered from VE yesterday and got here today. My...

Will I be able to receive SD though throughmy normal multiswitch and my HD Tivo until the installer comes out with the Phase III HD Capable dish? Or will I just get no signal? My wife would kill me if I put my HD tivo in before the installer comes and then we get no programming at all for the...

It's my understanding L.A. DMA also gets ABC, FOX, CBS and BC. That is what my neighbor gets and is indicated on D*'s website.

Will this work going through the multiswitch? I was told that when my elliptical HD dish comes the lines will have to run straight to my HD DVR and not through a multiswitch. Currently my dual LNB goes through the multiswitch and then to my SD Tivo.

Gracias Hi Robert- Ordered from you guys about 5minutes ago. Thanks for all the useful information and great pricing. Look forward to receiving my HD Tivo. Lab

Robert - let me ask you this? Were I to buy directly from D*, would they ask for a credit card? Or just apply it to my bill and subtract the credit? I'd love to save money through you and support you as a vendor, but in terms of cash flow, paying less out the door is different than saving money...

Can I use round dish with HD until new one for HD comes? I saw a similar thread somewhere but can't find it amongst the various DBS communities. Please advise. Can I hook up my new HD DVR 250 in place of my SD unit even though I have the standard round dish. Will it work at least for SD...
