I'm thinking of getting the Family package primarily because it has Fox News.... I don't care about HD. Are you saying I will be disappointed?

I'm considering getting DISH installed. I would be ordering directly from Dish. As I was going through the ordering process there were some unresolved questions: 1) Could the installer use the current mount for my Direct TV dish? It is the 3-LNB type. 2) Customer service was unsure and say...

And it can still be ordered a la carte?

My installation is scheduled for this Wednesday. When placing my order, the representative I was working with assured me that the installer would be able to remove my D* dish from the roof because I could not tolerate having 2 dishes on the roof. I asked him several times, as this was a deal...

tony, i don't know if i'll be pointed at 61.5 or 148. I live in Connecticut. that muzak sounds good for 4.99. i didn't read about that anywhere when signing up. should I call up on that after everything is installed? Kevin

I just signed up for Dish Family. I love the fact that it includes Fox News and locals for $30, 3 TVs. I saw there one kids music station included in this and Great American Country, I believe. Are there any stations either listed or unlisted that stream classical music?? I love sleeping and...

An install date? Or is that just a code term for conversion date to the discount plan?

As long as you're not one of these parents with a kid that downloads 4 full length movies a day..... you should be ok. :up

Thanks for the helpful advice. I may end up keeping the faith package only. I still have not receive a response to my certified letter sent on 9/17. I had actually changed my home phone and personal email address shortly after that date, but I did provide that information to SA so they...

I read that Comcast has instituted a 250 GB monthly cap. I am not sure about other providers. I once calculated that 3 hours of daily sky angel uses 36 GB per month of bandwidth. I based this off of 900 kbps stream rate of Sky Angel. I converted bits to bytes and multiplied by 30 days. I...

RJC, what speed is your Internet connection? Sky Angel says you need a minimum of 1.5 mbps, but in real life experience.....if you plan to be using the computer at the same time as watching TV (especially with multiple computers in the house) I suggest you go with a 3.0 mbps connection or...

Could comcast be throttling the bandwidth somehow? They could be purposely targeting the Sky Angel IP in the case of this customer. Just a thought?

Thank you for your advice. I'm not angry, about what happened ... a little disappointed with the quality of the service, yes .... but I get your point. I'm willing to accept the consequences of however Sky Angel wants to deal with the situation. I understand that the terms of their service...

JH, I tried to be as respectful as possible with them. I understand there are consequences to canceling services with contracts to them. It's also been my experience that ETF's can be waived. Back in 2002 when I lost my job, 2 ETF's were waived by Verizon Wireless for me. In addition to...
