    Drive-In theaters making a comeback?

    We still have a Drive-In Theater close to where I live way out in the country. It has managed to stay open all thru the low interest years and now is thriving again. I think they are still great just as I did as as youngster. I am south of Chicago out in the flatland.

    D* Best Customer offer??

    I didn't get the emails or the pricing updates either. I know I pay my bill on time, how come I am not a "Best Customer"? Are they selective with their customers?

    Buying eBay Recievers w/ Card

    I thought you had to have the card in your possession to activate it. I did however sell a used unit with the card and the person was able to activate it with DirectTV. We changed to Dish and then went back to DirectTV. Silly us.

    If you had a choice:Satellite or Cable

    I have to say I would choose Satellite anytime over cable but it is not available to me by Verizon here in my rural area. I do have rain or weather fade even with the Direcway too.
