Don't have a balcony or anything to stick a dish on and the building is all wired up already for this central dish because I guess the last guy who put a dish on the roof put some holes in it and caused some damage. Going through the big communal dish is probably easiest, I just don't know why...

I've been reading the threads on MDUs (like my apartment). It seems like these setups actually cost MORE than going through DirecTV or a DirecTV reseller -- even though I don't have much of a choice as my apartment is wired up to a central dish. Is it standard for these MDU installers to charge...

Thanks very much for the info. I'll see if that's the case and then proceed accordingly.

I'm not sure what the difference between REG and MDU is, but there's only 16 units in the building (if that would help determine if it is REG or MDU...) My manager says that connecting should be as simple as plugging the coax lead into the proper apartment lead in the big comm box downstairs...

I'd like to order Directv and I live in an apartment complex (in SoCalifornia) with a central dish on the roof that each unit is wired to. Would any installer be able to hook me up and activate me (i.e. short wait for install), or do I have to go with the company that wired the dish up top...

I was gonna sign up for DirecTV with tivo after the new year. Does anyone know if the current promotions for $50 DVR and free install will still be available in 2005? Are there any other promotions in the pipeline? Thanks!
