You will be missed, no one will be able to fill your shoes in the booth BP.

Thanks all!

I am pretty sure we are going to make the switch from D* to E*. We "camp" a lot and have always taken our D* receiver and extra dish with use when we go, will we still be able to do this with E*? We would want just the basics, no HD (not yet any way;) ) and locals if possible. Thanks in...

Take this for what it is worth... I am on my second H20, I am having heat issues with it. I get a black screen with blue lines scrolling through it. Any way, I talked to Cust. Retention yesterday and she admitted (for the first time to me) that the H20 has known issues with heat and when I...

From the "Tipping Guide" that charper1 posted: Telephone, security, cable, satellite, internet installers or repairmen - Nothing. Why is it that more and more people think they need tipped for doing the job? I do computer support for a large company, should I expect a tip when I fix...

When I bought my house in 1995 we had neighborhood covenants that forbid installing the dish (18") where it could be seen from the street. My only option was a roof mount and I did it myself. Believe me, I caulked the hell out of it with roof cement. Good post, reminds me to get up there and...

Yes I did. Install went ok, wasn't very happy where they placed the dish (mounted to the side of the house) but he refused to go on the roof. The receiver seems very slow to tune, I hope that is fixed with a s/w patch. I also thought the receiver was interactive but it would not work...

Sounds like we are all having issues. My appointment was for 8-12 on Wednesday. At 11:50 I called the 1-800 # to the group that handle's the installs for my area (Local installer is Ron's TV) and the first lady I spoke to said she would call and leave a message for the installer and if I did...

Surprise...I was either lied to or I talked to yet another uninformed CSR. I was told yesterday, and I asked twice to be sure, that all available locals in ATL would be included. UPN, TBS, WB... They also said they would call me back last night because they could not enter my order...

Yep, that price is what I was told on the phone. History tells me that this may or may not be correct. :rolleyes: I will see what happens Friday and report back.

RicS, If you get good reception for OTA then I think you would stick with what you have. I am in the far north east corner of Gwinnett County and my signal strength sucks and can't improve it much due to subdivision rules about antenna's on roof's. I wish I could pull a better signal but...

"All the channels you can receive OTA" is what I was told by the CSR, including UPN, PAX TBS, etc. We will see.

I called back and here is the latest "deal". Set up appointment today = $99 + $14.95 and includes the dish and installation. Set up appointment on Friday (Nov. 25) and cost will be $188 + $14.95 - $200 rebate, includes dish and installation. Thanks Robert, I may be calling.

Slacker, just dialed that number and it is NOT in service. "Thank you for calling D*, you have reached a number that is not in service. Please call 1-800-531-5000" Just FYI...
