cool thanks, that makes me feel a lot better about the pending install.

Ok so the feedback I received previously was that I did not need a phone line connected to my receivers but then I came across this... I am currently planning on activating 3 boxes... "If I have more than one receiver, do I pay a full monthly subscription for each receiver? No. DIRECTV...

How often does the "nag" screen pop up? Is it obtrusive or a small banner at the bottom. Thanks.

Thanks for the input. so can i use the Tivo w/out a phone line connected to it? I understand that initially I have to hook it up to d/l the programming but i was plpanning on taking the box to work with me to do that. It is going to be a big problem if I have to use a phone line to use Tivo...

Ok so i am about to get my new D*service installed and I have a question. I have 2 TV's in the house, the one in the living room is a HD RPGTV and the one in the bedroom is SD. I have already ordered a HD receiver for the HDTV and a Tivo for the one upstairs but what i really want to do is use...

bshef thanks for all the input, but actually I would be a new sub. I currently have Dig cable and I am interested in HD Sat and not HD Tivo. Do you know if they offer incentives above the promos listed for new subs?

Great advice...I wonder if they are offering any other incentives that aren't listed so I can choose D* over V*. Its just that I am moving into a brand new house and saving $300 on the HD STB would be huge for me. I have always liked D* over the others but to get into HD equipment w D* is alot...

Hey guys I am switching from HD/DVR cable to an HD Sat provider and was originally planning on going w/ D* STB $300 but after I heard about the switch to MPEG4 and the new birds going up this summer and the need for new equipment. I dont want to shelll out money for a receiver and then not know...

OK so I guess I will take a chance and try and set an install, hopefully all goes well...

So I can order D* and when the installers show up and see no landline they will still complete the install?

I am looking to switch from cable to sat but I have a slight problem, I do not have a landline phone. I called Voom but they said that I could not get their service w/out a landline is this true for D* as well? I do not plan on getting a landline b/c I work for a wireless carrier and I get my...

Ok so can I go ahead and order Voom and just them that I do have a phone line? I have not had a landline since '98 b/c I work in wireless and my service is free. Which sat provider can I go through if I do not have a landline?

Hey guys first of all I want to thank everyone for the great info I have learned on this site but I have a lil problem. I am switching from cable to Sat but I called Voom and the csr told me that since I do not have a landline I cannot get their service. I have read on this forum that it is...

Are you talking about the box thats 1000 bux? I was hoping I could get the $300 HD receiver and add Tivo, is this possible?

Hey guys I am a current HD cable user and I am thinking about switching to D* b/c of NFL ST. I have a couple of noob q's though. There is a deal right now for a 3 room system including a 40 GB Directv DVR free A/R, free install, and 4 free months w/ total choice premiere. I need the HD so I was...
