Well, I finally got my system installed. Got the waiver for nlos on 119 without any trouble at all. I'm 100% sure that my research helped with that because the installation support services rep said that he normally never gives that waiver, but in my case since I completely understood what no...

First off, to answer Roy's last post; I have wireless internet in my home, and I don't know if my current cable is true RG6, but I think it is. Although, the installer would have ran new cable. I think they we're just installing the cheapest minimum solution for what I've ordered. Raoul...

No that's not the problem at all. All of my current equipment was to be replaced with new, HD equipment.

It's just the terrain in my neighborhood. There is a mountain directly behind my house. And no, I'm not under contract. The second opinion is scheduled for tomorrow. I think that fact that I'm now educated about the whole shebang now will probably cause the installer to push it through. But...

Update: Skylink communications is doing the install. The lady who answered the phone at this fine establishment was 100% useless. I know for a fact that the installer is from her office, but she insisted that she could not see if they had me on their schedule or not. I mentioned the name of...

If they do know they definitely will not tell me. The last person I spoke to a few minutes ago said that all they do is put the order in the computer and couldn't find out who would be doing the install. Btw, to answer your previous question, I do not currently have a HD reciever. Just an old...

The only number I know to call is the DTV toll free number and they're saying everything is up to the local contractor's company. My order is in for the HD package upgrade, but my installer said that he was only allowed to install the SL5, and not allowed to install the SL3. I think the reason...

See post #12

They said it was up to the local contractor company to grant or deny a waiver. They also said there's no way for them to know what that company will be, or any way for me to find out except for asking them when the call or show up.

I know I could do that if it came down to it....but right now I'll get all the equipment for no charge. Don't really want to pay for what should be free.

I'm out of range for OTA, but I've lived this long without locals so even if for some reason I couldn't get at least the HD locals I could still live with that......if I can just get the guy to install for me. Right now I have no HD programming, no on demand, no MRV. I'm willing to pay the...

Charleston-Huntington DMA. I know my sd locals are on 119 but that's fine with me, I already don't get them. I know the SL3 would solve my problem, but the installer said he wasn't allowed to install it for me....even though my next door neighbor has one.

Hi guys. I'm currently trying to get my system upgraded to MRV HDDVR and have a couple questions. First off, I know I have no LOS to the 119 satellite. I already have dtv service and had to sign a waiver for no locals/no 119 access. No problems there. Recently an installer came to my place...
