    Want to Switch To Directv, need help with costs

    Hi All! Long time member, but haven't been here in years. I am finally fed up with our local cable company (suddenlink). They switched over guides on our boxes (to TVGuide), and it is absolutely horrible. I want to go ahead and get on Directv, but am a little uneasy about the high startup...

    Will any of the New Mpeg4 receivers

    You can always get a DVI or Component or VGA extender. These will extend the video via cat5 cabling. While there might be some slight degradation, most people will not notice. Probably the best stuff is at geffin.com, albiet pretty expensive. There are some other lower cost alternatives out...

    Poormans AT9 Possible?

    Might be a stupid question but...... IS there a way to come up with a AT9 equivalent by using a P3 dish combined via a switch with a Ka-band dish? After googling for a while, all I could come up with for a Ka-band dish are ones used by Vsat companies. Direcway has a new one out that is...

    I was wondering if anyone has had success lately in getting dtv to turn on the NY/LA HD feeds for Houston. I just got my sister in law one of my old HD receivers for her to use in her apartment. I can't do an antenna at her complex so I have to get the HD feeds via satellite. I got the...
