    AT&T U-verse Users

    Did they run the CAT inside the walls of the house or did they drill from the outside of the house like cable use to? Also, did they charge for that if you already had the rg6 set up? Thanks!

    AT&T U-verse Users

    Today I received a flyer in the mail that we can supposedly get AT&T U-Verse. Today, we use AT&T for two phone lines, long distance, and Internet and I think we can save some money if we add U-verse. Currently, I have DirecTV with six SD TV's and four tuners (three TV’s are driven off one...

    Suspend Service - Use DVR?

    I had the same question. I have two Directv R-10's DVR's. Would you consider those the Tivo DVR (I am ok) or the DVR+ (I am eventually SOL). One I own and the other I lease but when I started my lease they said I could buy it out for around $40.00. Also, what is the difference between...

    hartford/new haven now has neighboring locals

    Hi eveyone. I just turned on the tv this morning and noticed that we now get the three NYC stations here in New Haven County (Connecticut). I checked two receivers and they both get it. I didn't know about the change so I didn't call D*.

    Help - 2 R10s, But One Has No Guide

    I think the R10 get's the guide updates from the dish and NOT the phone line. I say that becuase we have an R10 that was hooked up to the phone line for the first day (for the installer to activate it back in August) and NEVER since and we still get the guide updates.

    DTV R10 locking up, having to reboot

    I had a satellite installed with two R10's back in August of last year. One is hooked up to the phone company's line and one isn't hooked up to anything. Actually, the one that's hooked up to the phone line locks up more then the one that's not hooked up at all. However, it could also be...

    Searching for signal with second receiver??

    I have a Dual-tuner Directv Tivo unit that was just 3-4 months old when I started getting "searching for signal" on line2. The cables were direct runs that I helped the installer put in. I thought it had to be the multi-switch so I tried switching the two wires to 2 different ouputs but no luck...

    Looking to switch from Cable to Satellite. What can I expect?

    I like to do some stuff myself, but I wasn't planning on doing this myself. I guess I was really asking what to expect from an installer. I know the cable company likes to come along and drill holes in the house which drives me nuts!

    Bank Check Scam, or Ligitiment Deal?

    I would think that the new laws would help as well. However, I recently found a check that was about six months old. I wasn't sure if it was still good, however, it was from the same bank that I use (different branch) so I figured it was worth a shot. I deposited it to Checking without a hitch...

    Looking to switch from Cable to Satellite. What can I expect?

    I currently have Comcast Digital Cable with the usual frustrations, the biggest being that they are raising their rates, again, so that Digital Cable with HBO and with 2 boxes will be just over $100! Every time they raise the rates I look into Satellite but don't know what to expect in terms...
