By the way, that friggin new dish is MASSIVE! I live in a townhouse and my dish is installed next to my neighbors 3 lnb and it totally dwarfs it! I had to have the J bracket (under eave) mount used with 2 support braces on the facia boards! I thought we were supposed to be getting AWAY from...

Im in the LA area. The upgraded me from my HR10-250 to the HR21 for free. No charge, no subscription renewal, nada. I would say that there are some good deals to be had. ;)

Psych was AWESOME! I was so tired of watching 4:3 Std Def on my old HR10. (Got upgraded for free on Friday) Ewwww. Psych in 50" Plasma HD goodness. And the Food Network!!! OMG, I swear its smellovision! Nick

I live in a townhouse so I have to be careful about what I put up and where it goes. We currently have a 3 lnb (i think) HD dish mounted to the wood overhang of our roof. This is the same installation that everyone else is using for their dishes. With this type of install 2 of the 4 bolts are...

So I get this email about upgrading my current HD DVR which does not support the new HD channels. It says it is all free etc. Now, When I called they said that it IS free and that there is NO lease extension or any other conditions attached. Has anyone else heard of this? Sounds too good to...

Ah yes, I think thats it. I have Prison Break AND 24 to record. Im sure I have the 1 min later / earlier on both and thats probably giving me the issue. I will check it tonight. Thank you! Nick

Hi all, I ran into a problem the other day when I was trying to schedule recording of 24 and Heroes. For some reason it wont let me record the two at the same time. It just comes up with a conflict notice and thats as far as I can get. I couldnt even switch tuners last night while 24 was...

With all of this talk about a 6.3 upgrade I am wondering why my HD DVR states that it is on 3.XX software. There have been no updates when I my box calls in either. Thanks

Not sure if this is the right thread to post this in but it sure seems that this MPEG4 has been "coming soon" for quite some time! I remember when I had my Voom that this technology was all everyone was talking about (and we all know what happened to Voom). I am very skeptical, now, to all...

I have tipped the last 2 or 3 times I have had installs done. Albeit, the last one I should not have tipped at all. The guy left a mess, and the sat was pointing in the wrong direction (Voom). The D installer is in the middle of the work and its about 85-90 outside. Like I said before, I...

I am getting my DTV HD DVR installed today. I understand that I need to have a phone hooked up at all times to get the required updates. I have two options for this. Run a phone line under the carpet and to the jack. Use one of those phone jacks that plug into the house power. I think I...

Im having my DTV installed today! Its been 3 weeks without the boob tube and I am looking forward to seeing something other than rewatching all of my Curb DVD's! My question is this. Should I tip the installer and how much should it be? I always offer refreshments to installers as I know...

I just got offered a pretty good deal from Adelphia (Southern California). 80.10 / month until the end of the year. This includes basic digital package, HD package, HD DVR, High Speed Internet (I am already a subscriber to this but my bill would be lowered) and free starz, and something else...

What do we do with our equipment now? Doesnt seem that they want it back at all. Any aftermarket value to it? Also, Id be interested to see what everyone here decides on for HD feed. I really want a HD DVR but I dont know much about the offerings of my 3 choices. Damn, Ill miss the kung fu...
