About a month ago, we moved from Vonage to Comcast Digital Voice. The voice quality is very good. Unlike Vonage, I have not experienced any problems dialing to or from my own line. And e911 works. So far so good.

Hello, I got a new DPP LNB off eBay. I just noticed that the white cover on the LNB is cracked. Does this make the LNB unusable?

Hello, I moved and I am getting used DishPro gear for the new place. I got my first of two dishes today. For fun, I put on the new I-adaptor I got from dishstore.net and I started to adjust the skew for 61.5 to set it at 90. But I noticed that a setting of 92 would seem to make the setup...

That's unfortunate. I was on the phone for halftime and for the Eto'o matter; so, I missed the commentary.

I remember Schalke 04 being featured a lot on a program called, "Soccer Made in Germany" which was carried on my PBS station where I used to live over 20 years ago. Wow, memories!

Rush here. So close to a Barca goal.

Yes, I have seen swift banning for people who ostensibly want to get programming for free. The R-5000 sounds like a legal modification. I have tried joining FTA/MPEG2 What's Up There Forum to find FTA HD without success twice without any explanation of action taken. Tough crowd that FTA...

I am wondering what happened to Mistin and the Columbia classic cartoons like Archie and Fat Albert, etc.

My HDTV regurgitates SD; so, I structure my various subscriptions from Comcast and Dish to maximize HD and minimize SD. That said, Dish wants about $37 per month just for the new HD package without locals plus fees. Dish has not offered an "ownership" deal for people like me who own an 811...
