I do not subscribe to direct nor plan to, want to gain access to ota hd channels. I have a new phillips 5353 receiver with card (whatever that means) I have tried every hookup possible to get it to work but it never finds the ota hd channels. I saw in some website that it has a atsc tuner.

we are from the dallas area, but outside of the metroplex. my internet is a rf feed for rural areas and since they fixed their end we are happier and our skype works better. and yes we are paying for up to 3mps. I do not have dsl in this area, I do think they are adding high speed telephone...

I signed up on the 15th of april and have not gotten my set as of yet. i was conserned when first testing the speed test i got between 900 - 2400 downloads. I contacted my service provider and they were going to fix a part in the network. I pay for 3Mps and after the fix got consistant...

lifetime, tlc, and discovery in dallas has been out for 3 weeks, other than that it is still up and working just fine. I am making my plans to change to skyangel if and when it goes out. if I add local channels I would have to pay just a couple of dollars more than I currenly do now or I...

as a person who subscribes to usdtv, it is better than just ota, and is in my price range. I will probably not go with any other dish service since they offer way too much programming for what I need/want and am willing to pay for. will my daughter be upset that she can not see disney, will my...

They have new owners now, that is all thier website states

I have usdtv and really like it for the price and the channels I get. as far as the ota features you should reboot or turn off your unit at night so the features can update. that is what usdtv stated to us, do not know if it is true or not.

I would like to win because I just moved out further from the towers and would need something stronger to get signal.

I personally do not need blazing light speeds, just better than dialup. i currently have comcast and no phone line, and will be moving in the near future. if there is dsl I might do that instead if available, but would have to install a phone line. The problem with the phone line is in the...

Hi i have a modem that i can use for cable internet and would prefer to use it if I can save money at install of either wb or dw, comcast is being jerks right now and taking thier time to fix a problem they created and I will catch them in a lie. so i would only need the dish and connections...

I basicly live 1 stone throw from the stone age and do not have an hdtv tv. no plans to upgrade to any kind of converter box or buy an hdtv system. if it came down to purchasing a new tv or going without I would go without.

what is dishes family package, do not see it on thier website

I live in the dallas area. so it would be more advantagous to put the big oval dish on the local channels if for some reason I want to add more at a later time and have the second dish to skyangel. so with my other question which is easier to start up first skyangel then add dish or dish then...
