To follow-up on what I said ... I was wrong about how Value Electronics does their referral. With DirecTV's referral program, the new customer sets it up using the current customer's account number. With VE, the current customer calls in with the new customer's info. So, VE does not owe me...

You have to go direct with D* to use that particular referral offer, although I read something that VE credits you the same amount of money. I need to look into this, since I haven't seen this since activating, but mabye I just missed it.

Thanks for the info. It's hard for me to really go through this as I am not in the house yet and don't know the exact setup of wiring or locations to run coax into the house. Also, not being familiar with mounting a dish to a roof makes me less aware. Would it possible and not a waste of the...

I am moving soon into a new house and will need to get DirecTV. I have been trying to read up on it (previous Comcast customer), as it is a little more involved than cable. I would like to install this myself, as I fell I can do it and I think I will need more done than that which is part of a...

The house is siding, but the lower few feet are concrete block with brick exterior. Line of sight should be ok and not need a pole mount. I guess I should just have an installer do it and talk with them as you suggest. I have enough wiring for my current use, so an install would mainly just...

I am looking to order DirecTV very soon. My house is new so already is wired for RG6 inside, and I can easily run an extra line to the 1 or 2 rooms that will need it for a DVR. The dish location will be close to where the wiring goes into the house, so it won't be a long run of cables. My big...

Well, I guess we'll see what an installer thinks based on my specific situation. Another question regarding the number of coax lines to each tv. It seems like I will need 3 lines minimum going to my main tv - 1 for DVR, 1 for HD receiver, and 1 for OTA signal. I haven't seen much about...

Thanks for the info so far.... Is the H10 that places sell manufactured by different companies, so I would want to find out the specific manufacturer before buying it? As far as mounting, what is the 'normal' mounting setup? I don't want it on a pole if it is not as good for stability or...

Ok, I've been trying to wrap my brain around all the little details and want to make sure I'm clued in before calling VE about getting DirecTV. I know they should be very helpful, I just would like to make sure I'm clued in to reality... Ok, I'm moving very soon and will be going from cable...
