    How much does Fios TV really cost?

    Hahaha, that situation with billing was quite an adventure...felt sorry for the person in billing I was talking with as she really had no idea what took place during the install. Anyway we got through straightening out the extra charges added, (I hope) and now I can get my blood pressure back...

    How much does Fios TV really cost?

    Switching to FiOS Triple Freedom My wife and I decided it was time to make a switch from E* to FiOS since it has just become available to us in the last couple of months. Cleaning the snow off our satellite dishes on our roof yesterday was the final straw. We signed up today for the 20/5...

    Q13 Fox HD in Seattle...when?

    E*-Tribune/KCPQ 13-Fox HD? Haha...I have been waiting for a couple of years and have almost given up. I believe there is or will be an ownership change which may help in our quest for HD viewing on Q13. And again that could be soon.

    Haha...I almost had to put a nitro patch on during the game on Sunday when they fumbled inside the 10...when on the play before they had run and centered the ball in the field. Thought they were going to kick the field goal and go up by 9 with less then 2 minutes to go. Oh my ticker!!!

    My D-500 sat dish had the original double LNB bracket removed and the I-Bracket installed for the single LNB for the 129 satellite which was removed from the D-1000. My comparison between the D-1000 3-LNB sat system and the dedicated D-500 with I-Bracket for the 129 satellite is located in the...

    QUOTE=brad1138][/url]I cannot see how E* thinks they will gain that much with the 24" dish The 24" dish give about 10-15 point signal increase over the D500. In the field we always reference Xponder 11. A D1000 usually gives mid-high 50's, D500 low-mid 60s and the 24" dish is right about 80...

    I think what E* is doing by replacing the D-500 Sat Dish with the 24" dish is a futile attempt to rectify a half dead wobbling bird!!! The D-500 Sat Dish I have for my dedicated 129 sat dish measures 22 1/4" H X 20 1/2" Wide. I cannot see how E* thinks they will gain that much with the 24" dish...

    Hahaha, you too!!! I have about 11 months to go and I am hoping by then that Verizon has Fios TV available for us. They have branched off from the west side of Gun Club Hill and are a couple miles from our place at the present time. No more E* or D* satellite for me after this contract is up...

    This last February I complained about my Dish 1000 with the 129 sat reception and Dish Network sent out a tech. After checking my D1000 signal readings and adjusting to the 129 sat with little gain, he then discussed the situation with his boss back at the office and they decided to go with a...

Yeah, I also like the ESPN networks but I would like the A La Carte or "Freedom Of Choice" way of selecting the channels I watch. Myself, I subscribe to the HD Silver package with locals...

    Senate Committee Rejects Cable 'a la Carte' Pricing

    (Origanally posted by aaronhoes) These retirees might want to be careful what they wish for. If this does go through the very channels that they do want may not be available for very long if they are unpopular with everybody else. This could cause those networks to take a big hit to their...
