I believe DirecTV has started doing some of these proactive calls. He may be connected via his home network to the internet. He may be able to opt out of this on DirecTV's web site. Or I am completely wrong and he should be very careful and cautious.

Calling DirecTV, DIsh, or any other company names or insulting them won't get it done any faster either. BTW, I am a DBS Chat Room Mod and name calling by anyone in DBS's chat room will not be tolerated. This is not a threat. It has been a long standing policy for as long as I have been a...

So this approach makes it acceptable here. This is where I think both sides (at least myself) strongly disagree.

Well....I don't have nor do I know of the history you are referring to. And I'm not asking. I don't want to get into a pissing contest either or be the cause one. I'm a big boy, you can straight shoot all you want. In turn I will be a straight shooter as well. You are preaching about...

Oh come on Bob99, comments about "dish network moderators cant pull there heads out of their asses" and "These guys are so far up D*'s butt that they cant even realize it, so their skew is viewed". I guarantee you that if I posted that dribble over at DBStalk you and everyone one of your regular...

You are correct. My apologies. I will edit my post. I guess "name calling" could be replaced w/ insults.

Don't beat around the bush I wouldn't expect anything less. But there are certainly better ways to articulate and present your position without the name calling. No....it's not the so called truth that's makes it unprofessional. I am not a moderator at DBStalk, so I cannot and should not have...

I'm sorry.....I have to repsond to this. With all do respect....with comments like this....why would you think DirecTV would want to work w/ a site that tolerates comments like that. It is toatlly disrespectful and unprofessional. And yes, DBStalk would not tolerate posts like yours. It...

That would be very generous and obviously would be appreciated by the installer.

I TIP if the service is as expected. Which of course can be subjective. A $20.00 is usually the norm for me. I don't know if letting him know up front would be advantagous or not.

OK...thanks for the clarification. I guess the single LNB is the "round" then. It's been a long while since I've even looked into "round" vs. "oval".

The policy may have changed of late and they may just install the Slimline and get it over with. If you do end up w/ just the the oval you will only receive programming from the 101 slot. Also you will need a multi-switch.

No...the slimline dish is not teh oval w/ 3-LNB. The slimline is a bit larger and heavier and has 3 visiable LNB's but one has the capabability of receiving 3 of the 5 sats. Solid Signal | DIRECTV® Systems, HDTV Antennas, DISH Network, satellite equipment and home entertainment supplies &...

Unless you are getting an HD capable receiver upgrade they will not have a need to upgrade your dish. At least that's been my understanding.

Keep in mind that if Native is "On", channel changes will be a bit slower has the box changes resolution. Maybe 2-3 seconds in some cases.
