Can you get out of market NFL preseason games that are on RSNs with the Sports Pack or will they be blacked out?

My signals for 99(s) are 85 0 95 37 94 0

I seem to get signal loss during every rain. Most of my signals are in the upper 80's-90's but a few are in the low 70's and 60's. I lose local channels first (Columbus, OH). I don't know what Sat my locals come from. Is it normal to lose the signal or is it due to my low numbers?

I was having the same problem when trying to download Dexter episodes from Showtime. Call the CS number when the computer asks what you want say Directv On Demand. It will ask if you want to subscribe and send a signal permitting you to record from all the channels you subscribe to.

I subscribe to the Showtime and Starz packages but when I attempt to download any On Demand offerings from this channel it says I need to call or go online to subscribe. Is there a separate subscription for the on demand for premiums?

Definitely sign up for AAA. It is $50.00 and saves you 240 over two years plus they will give you the HD-DVRs for 99. I just signed up on Tuesday for installation on the 24th and got: 2 HD-DVRs ($99 each) and 2 sd receivers $18 off for first year on Choice Extra Package (Current promotion)...

I went back to cable because my wife could not stand the dropouts on our local channels. I received the boxes to send back the receivers. It says I need to send back teh switch and LNBF. Is this mandatory as I have no way of getting on the roof to take them off?

Is there any hope for 2008?

it is attached to my pc via usb. there are no other external drives. i can see the hd in the system menu but not as a drive on the my computer section.

I got a new hd for christmas to use as my external. I would like to use my old drive on my computer again but Windows will not allow me to access it. Can anyone explain how to reformat the disk to use with Windows? Thank you.

I was at a bar that had D* today and was very impressed with the PQ of the SD channels (so was my wife!!). If Dish is cancelled can you still use the receiver to view DVR material including things saved on the ext. HD?
