    How much would you pay?

    As a Sunday ticket subscriber for 6 years I have put up with alot of crap with Directv and Sunday Ticket. It gets better with each passing year but still isn't heaven in a box. My most rescent issue would be with Blackouts and market shares. That's not why I really started this thread though...

    Question. Settle an argument.

    Saying that you cant use RG-59 for satellite viewing is like saying you cant hook up your speakers with lamp cord. If it carries an electric currant it will display a picture. Use a cut up extension cord if you want. My suggestion would be to go with the RG-6 if you are running new wire. If...

    D* in Hawaii

    Aloha Sorry to say that while I am a loyal directv fan and I think everyone should use them. I say you should stick with Dish. Directv doesn't even offer local channels in your area. Dish does have your locals though. If you are only in it for the HD programming try Voom and see what you...

    Question about Tivo

    You wont be able to split the Directv signal coming in. However you only need 2 cables still. You can use a diplexer to split your Directv signal and OTA. Basically you send your D* signal and OTA signal down the same line. Then when you power off your Tivo you will have a picture from your OTA...

    Anybody have one of these

    I found this site http://www.worldwidesatellites.com/ Just curious if anyone had these. If so is it real. Is it legal? Does it get both Dish and Directv at the same time? I always thought of a satellite signal as public information just like A radio station. SS

    Sunday Ticket Question

    This is complete bull****. When D* signed me back up fo ST they didn't say a change in rules will apply. They are screwing alot of people. I read that a customer was able to get a $1.50 credit on his bill. I plan on keeping track of everygame and demanding a credit in the full amount. For me...
