Thank you very much. I'll send off an polite email that explains things and hope for the best.

Long story short....I need to get in touch with someone other than a basic customer service rep. I can get past the outsourced call center easy enough, but every time I explain my problems to the first tier domestic support person, they tell me someone will have to call me back- but they never...

The billing makes perfect sense now, thanks for the input.

Hello everyone, I decided to sign up for new DTV service, because I've had it with our cable provider- Bright House. Used to have U-Verse, then I moved 2 miles, and it's not available here. I went to the DTV websie, and saw the promo for their "premium" package, 12 months for $89.99, free...

This has happened several times since my last post. I would also think it was the box- and that it just needed to be replaced, however, it always happens between 8:00 and 8:15 AND it happens on both our boxes. We have two hd dvr's, and after this happened for the 4th time- I got curious if it...

Weird, It happened again tonight- It happened last Sunday at about 8:50, and happened this Sunday at about 8:10 Wonder what the deal is

Yep, thats what Ive got :) I've been struggling with the DVR to record the series of a program called "How Its Made" on the science channel. They changed the way the program is named, and there is now How its made, How its made 2 and How its made 3, but no other title for each episode. I have...

Sorry to just jump in and ask a stupid question... but, what is the IMG guide, and how can I tell if I have it?

So, they are just giving up? That is really disappointing. I just setup a new HD Plasma for my dad this past weekend, and they live in a Time Warner service area. I swapped out their box for a HD DVD, and was really............really disappointed with the channel line up and PQ, not to...

At about 8:50 pm this evening our Fios DVR box shut itself off, and I figured it was going to load an update or something, so I let it sit. It kicked itself on after about 2 min, and just displayed 4 dashes instead of the time or channel, and the screen just said "please wait a moment while...

I would really like to, but its a 2 story house with no inside access to the attic- Its a very tall house- and in the 20 some years that they have been here- nobody has ever been in the attic. Don't have a ladder to get up there or anything- I have also considered putting it on the garage...

I am helping my dad setup his new Hitachi plasma, that has a HD tuner built in- and their TW cable service really sucks- very few HD channels. I am hoping to help him get 3 OTA HD channels- but I only have one day left in my visit- and mounting an outdoor antenna is just not feasible right now...

Are the dishes made in the 80's any better than the dishes made today? If I were to try and get a 6ft dish (EDIT: 8ft or larger), would I be better off finding an older dish, or would buying a new 6ft Fortec get me the same, or better performance? What is the best dish made today? My intended...

Thanks for the fast replies I guess I will just mount the dish on the post today to get it off the garage floor, and wait to go any further until I have appropriate equipment. As far as what programing I would like to receive- programing isn't my goal with this dish really. I am thinking of...

Nice dish, but How would you get this thing to move? A truck winch?
