Sorry to hijack but I just wanted to say thanks to krmatth for the info on the Demark box. I've been looking for one for my new construction house and that is perfect. Thanks a ton for the info and link.

119 has always been TP 22-32 for at least the 5 years I've been with them.

This is not necessarily true. If D* is told a phone line is connected at installation but there is no phone line you will still be able to order PPV for the first 2 months or so. At that point the box will realize it's unable to call out and will give you PPV ts code ext 731 or 733. Then you...

Just call and ask for the ACDT department. If your "adding" a used receiver to your account they will verify the account status of the used receiver (make sure it's not from an account in writeoff or past due) and send you a new access card overnight for $20. If your replacing one of your active...

I can comfirm that if the csr told you you would be getting an r15 that they are your run of the mill idiot D* csr. There is no way in the D* ordering system to specify a particular model of IRD. They ship whatever stock is on hand at the warehouse.

The price includes installation and if you look again it says delivery and handling not shipping and handling. The installer will be delivering the hd-dvr at the time of install which looks like is scheduled for monday. You may want to figure out if it is an 8-noon or 1-5 appt so you can be...

I tried about 5 different indoor antennas until I found one that works best. I now have the RCA model:ANT 1250 powered antenna. It works great and is about $25 at walmart. I get 93%-100% on all but the our low powered UPN digital station and I still get 65-75% on that one. My towers are 30 miles...

I'm just trying to figure out why you think D* should resolve this issue for you. While I realize you are a D* sub the company had nothing to do with your equip purchase, rebate or install. Isn't the old saying Caveat Emptor? There's a reason that so many people have renamed that retail outlet...

Nope. Unfortunately the rollout has been delayed with no info given to CSRs as to why or when it would actually begin. My only guess is further testing is needed for the equipment.

Actually all former primestar customers are allowed to rent unless they choose to own their equip. But once the acct is changed to ownership it cannot be reversed. As far as I know the buy out feature is now just a simple matter of changing the acct type from rental to ownership. You do not have...

Go to antennaweb.org and submit your address info. This will tell you all stations in your area you should be able to recieve OTA and which ones are digital. It will also tell you where transmitter towers are located in reference to your address and give you the color code for the antenna...

Nielsen changed zipcodes for accessibility of several local channel markets, I believe around Aug 18th and D* had to respond by the 26th. Up until NIELSEN made that change you were in the Mobile market. But, once NIELSEN made the change D* had to comply. D* didn't know the change was happening...

not to mention auto racing as well. If nothing else I would sub to the sports pack just to watch all the excellent auto racing on empire sports each week.

Per all the reports I've read on the 2 any difference in picture quality between the component video cables and the dvi cable is negligible and highly unlikely discernible by the human eye.

You may have more than just 1 D* rep on this forum. :yikes So far we haven't been able to get any official (or unofficial) word on what new hd channels will be made available this fall but I've got HD so I'm going to keep trying. But then again there is that non-disclosure form that has my sig...
