Sea Launch is a limited liability corporation with Headquarters and Home Port facilities in Long Beach, Calif. The company is owned by Boeing of Seattle, Wash. (40%); RSC-Energia of...

Yeow!! And when I write buggy code, someone's TV doesn't turn on, phew!!!!

Always right on top of it, Scott!!!!!!!!!!!! That is why I start my day catching up on Satellite Guys every morning. And pop in throughout the day as I get time. Thanks always for such a great site!!

Thanks, Neutron!! Now people CAN call Directv but say they saw it in the paper!!!!! And GO STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see that the ad in the paper is for new resi subscribers only if you read the fine print. It is also from a dealer, not from Directv itself, and says to go to the store for details. Also said eligibility determined by address. BUT--it does show some progress in getting the systems setup.

will do, thanks!!

I have a Zenith HD-SAT520 and had a great HD picture until I moved. Now I have all kinds of digital noise that you can really see on text on the screen, looks like it is wiggling and fuzzy on the edges. Thought maybee it may be the DLP, but I moved it myself and carried it gentler than I did my...

I have the service in Plano, TX. They installed the ONT on the outside of the house, then a small battery backup in a bedroom closet. Most of the time, the battery backup will be in the garage but my services come in near the closet so I went for it. They break the phone lines from the existing...

I just comitted to an extra year with the Mover's Connection install, using my existing equipment. Will they upgrade me to the new equipment and just extend an extra 2 years? Thanks!!

On my knees begging!! Want to be the first in my city (Dallas area). Just used Mover's Connection and the installer said they would be installing new systems in November and December. They should know!!!

Most new digital stations were all shifted to the UHF band, with pretty high power. WFAA was one of the first stations to go digital, and they were a test of low power VHF. Their analog channel is 8 and digital channel is 9. I pick them up in Plano but have a few dropouts occasionally, even with...

After moving (didn't drop or bounce the TV) my HD looks almost like SD. It is fuzzy and looks out of focus. Is there focus adjustments on DLPs? I am seeing reduced quality on Directv HD and on OAR locals. Could receiver be tweaked somehow? List of gear in my signature. Thanks!!

the usual lead time to set up at a venue is 2 days. they have moved in overnight before, but they do not like doing it.

Dallas' date makes sense to me. I just moved and had my dish and antenna mounted by the Mover's Connection. The installer said they were told to be ready to swap out dishes and receivers in Nov and Dec. So if Spaceway 2 goes up in late October and they get it online with no problems, all this...
