    muscle cars

    My favorite muscle car is my avatar. 1968 Plymouth Sport Satellite (sister to the GTX) I totaly restored the car in 1983, and she only gets out of the garage on sunny days. 383 magnum engine still running strong. Got to love those ol' mopars.

    Lighten up a bit on DISH

    Doesn't sound like E*'s customer service has gotten any better then when I had their service. Kinda sounds E* is going down the drain completely from listening to what customers and ex-customers are saying. I was one of the early ones to switch back to D* due to E* shanagans, Ole' Charlie better...

    Dish Network Took My $600!

    Emster, Your first mistake was going to Dish, and your second mistake was giving them control over your money. I would NEVER give a company that much authority (power) over me.

    Rate Increase for DirecTV

    Well, sounds like $85.97 is not enough for D* from me. Two extra recievers+ Total choice plus w/ locals+ HBO, MAX, Starz. I guess I'll have to do a little down grading. Plus the new interactive features will not even work with my current recievers. What incentives is it for me to pay more to...

    Introducing the Directv Mix Channels

    No, I've heard it will only function 100% on the D10 recievers and above. I guess for us all weather freaks as " hdtvtechno" put it, there's always weather.com for local weather. Unless you want to buy a new reciever that supports the new interactive content.

    Introducing the Directv Mix Channels

    The way I understand it the only interactive recievers will be the D10 and up. Us with the old "WINK" interactive rec. will be left in the dark as for interactive content. I thought I remember a little over a year when I purchased my RCA486 that they said it was upgradable, so much for that...
