Hi, Yeah, the generic weather channel sucks. I like Dish, but on Comcast they had the "regional" weather channel and then they also had a weather channel for your city (or nearest large city). I would suggest buying a NOAA weather radio with SAME. I have 2 of them and they are great...

I went cell phone only a month ago. I was tired of paying SBC $60/mth for nothing. We just use Nextel's with the free direct-connect feature alot. I know my co-worker had Direct and he has no phone line and he never had a problem. He just has to call cust. svc. to order PPV. I have Dish and...

Hopefully not, and if they do then it should be a premium channel in which only paid subscribers can view it.

Hi ,I can't answer your DVR questions because I record to DVD, but I can answer the others. I only lost my Dish signal twice and it was during Tornado/Severe Thunderstorm Warnings and the signal was out for maybe 10-15 minutes. Heavy rain has not been a problem. This will be my first Winter...

I have called tech support about 5 times in the 4 months I had Dish. Most of it was for programming changes and a couple of calls were for receiver problems. I spoke with a couple of really good CSR's and a couple of morons with no clue (they were American too!). I have never had to speak with...

Speaking Of Ice On The Dish I live in lower Michigan and we get some snow and ice in the winter season. I have my dish on the side of the house on a pole about 5 feet off the ground so I can remove snow,etc. from it. My question is, is it safe to spray de-icer on the dish if a freezing rain...

Oh no! "Sucks" is such a terrible word!! How could anyone say that on TV??? Give me a break, with the trashy programming on TV now ,children are much more prone to hear much worse words. What a joke.

Do you live in a Bible-Belt state?

When DirecTV started they were MPEG1 (roughly VCR quality). When they went to MPEG2 did people have to get new receivers? I have a DSS information and installation book written in 1995 and it does say DirecTV was originally MPEG1 at first.

So I could just add KTLA if I wanted and not get the other Supers?

What will the prices be after the Comcast promo is over? After my Comcast promotions were up I was paying $112/mth for Digital Plus (no HBO,SHO,etc) and High speed.I ended up switching to Dish. I was forced to keep Comcast HSI as DSL is not yet available here. Comcast customer service around...

I have been contemplating subscribing to the Multi-Sport Pack and possibly the Supers Pack (KTLA,etc). My question is on the Multi-Sport Pack. How many events are blacked out. I try to watch some events on the alternate sports channels (I believe in the 430's) and only once out of maybe 80 times...

Comcast is a rip-off. After your promotions are up you will be raped for the full amount.
