Standard. As long as the installation is through D* and the installation requires pole mounting due to line of sight issues, it is included. If installation is provided through outside retailer/ installation company then you are on your own for costs.

Enough. How can you legally pay for a service that is obtained illegally? -also see notes below regarding piracy I'm sorry, was I unclear in the exact definition given by an accredited publisher of THE most widely used dictionary? piracy- D3) the unauthorized use of another's...

un-informed? I know you don't want to see this... and you're going to flame me for it... but here goes. Acctually, per webster- Under definition 3, DirecTv does not authorize it's subscirbers to utilize their signal outside the US. In fact, they strictly prohibit this under the customer...

Why? What are they going to do? Replace your receiver for free? That's like going to Wal-Mart and buying a Milky Way, then turning around and telling them it wasn't "Milky" enough and had too much " Way", just to have them give you another one for free. All you are doing is makeing them...

Legal? Q: Is DIRECTV service available in Canada or Mexico? A: We are legally prohibited from transmitting our signal outside the United States. From http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/learn/FAQ_DTVBasics.dsp#8 Not only does that apply to Canada or Mexico, that means anywhere outside the...

Hd / Sd You missed the point completely. The question being posed is " Can an SD receiver pick up and d/c a HD signal" not " Can an HD receiver d/c to SD " You have a TS360... good for you. It's an HD receiver which can pick up and d/c HD signal. To answer the question, an SD...

Yep. The method for accessing the dialing options varies, but yes. No matter what receiver you have you can change/compensate for any dialing prefix. You can even program it to have a hard 2 second pause after dialing 9 before it dials any other numbers. Be aware, if this is located in a...

Sorry. Nope, have to have a base programming package to get NBA LP. And just to let you know, as of '05 you will no longer be able to have NFL ST by itself. Best option if you want either of those packages is to subscribe to a minimal programming package during the regular season, then...

Tivo without a phone? Hmm, it sounds to me like the only ones who claim to have tivo and have NEVER had it make a call are older tivo subs. Looks like they may have had the OBSR tivos back in the day when tivo provided the service for like 12.95/ month or lifetime sub. If this is so the...

Oh my goodness!!! That is crazy! Not everyone in America, the land of opportunity, has minimum of DD 5.1 SS ??? What kind of a 3rd world country are we coming to??? You might want to slap your butler a few times and remind him who pays his minimum wage, then maybe he will start tuning in your...
