    Directv A&E opt in or out

    I checked today and mine dropped off my boxes in the last week - I hadn't watched a show on these channels since last Monday or so but did watch something once a week on them. And I did opt-in online months ago after reading online I needed to - I never got notified by Directv about the drop. So...

    DIRECTV Down?

    I'm getting a 721 error code on a lot of channels here I used to be subscribed to. Called Directv and got a busy signal before I checked here.

    Craig Ferguson Quits CBS' Late Late Show

    I'm surprised Corden would do this, even though he recently moved to LA for some other projects. He has his choice of gigs in the UK.. and probably soon more here. But as a fan of Ferguson and his kind of humour, I think he is a great choice. But it's not really a choice I thought CBS would go...

    Reccomended motor for Geosat 90cm dish

    I've used a DG-380 with mine for the last few years and it works when its -20 outside, or 100. And I've never had to tweak the aim. It is solid and pretty fast. Seems to really be accurate.

    SDR (Software Defined Radio) For Satellite

    Glad you guys are taking about SDR. I've been messing around with it for the past couple of years. I'll attach a pic of what I have so far hardware-wise. I find that the Terratec works better for the Ham It Up. It seems to not let strong signals overload it and has better ears for the...

    DMS SG6100

    I didn't like the SG6000, at least the first run of them. I tried 3 of them when they first came out years ago and they all didn't do USALS well at all with the Traxis 3500 or the Prof 3500 I had at the time. They would end up being about 3-5 degrees off at the far ends of the arc, if I remember...

    The Artie Lange Show Cancelled

    That's a bummer. Artie is talented. But the format, just didn't let Artie be able to shine like he could in an uncensored setting that was more freeform and not centered on sports. Also, Jon Ritchie wasn't the right fit either. And the show fell very short of the expectations of being...

    Comcast: No, We're Not Forcing Users to Rent Modems

    It's the same service - residential cable internet from Comcast. And I started with the same tier called "Performance", before I went to a faster tier. According to all of the lists on the internet, the 6121 is still an approved model even though it first came out a few years ago. I really...

    Comcast: No, We're Not Forcing Users to Rent Modems

    I have the 6121 with 100Mbps service and it works well here in the Denver area. I get about 112Mbps downloads. She only has Performance, which is 25Mbps there. But as I said, that modem (Motorola 6121) isn't allowed to be used in the Memphis area with Comcast; per the installer that came out...

    directv2pc will not play movie

    I think the Directv2PC app hasn't been updated in years... and it stopped working on my Windows 7 Ultimate laptop as well a while back. And would never work on my Windows 8 laptop. So maybe it's working on Vista because of updates to Win7 where the app just won't work correctly without an...

    Comcast: No, We're Not Forcing Users to Rent Modems

    My aunt wasn't very happy with her DSL. So I told her to get Comcast. She lives in Memphis, TN. I told her to buy a Motorola 6121 modem since it is the same one I have, and I have a much higher tier than her. At the final installation last month (took 4 tries from another crew with a month...

    BBC America not recording correctly

    My series recordings used to work on BBCA, even if the "first airing" date was off a few days.... but now my DVRs are not recording anything off of that channel unless I set it as a manual recording... I wish they could develop DVRs that were a little smarter and would know that even though the...

    Satellite Internet Flat Panel Antenna with steerable beams and no moving parts

    Very cool! Hopefully in 10 years if they are successful selling to large companies, we (the average consumer) will be able to afford one.

    I need a 1.2 M offset dish

    You could also rent a u-haul pickup truck for a few hours and get it. Those trucks aren't too much - at least the last time I got one a few years ago to get rolls of sod to my house from home depot. I wish I could get a 1.2m dish for less than $200. I was quoted from Sat/AV $200 just for...

    The Weather Channel....is BACK!

    Okay, I'll be the one to stick up for the Weather Channel... haha. just kidding. I gave up watching them a long time ago when we would have storms here in Denver and they were running some show instead. WeatherNation is being carried on our local 9-2, but glad to have it in HD on Directv and...
