I called on Friday to cancel ST and the rep said he could take care of that for me. He made no attempt to offer anything or direct me to retentions. After a short wait he said he was able to cancel it for me. I guess I'll call back in a couple of weeks to see if there are any deals then.

I have an H24 in my back bedroom. This weekend I'm going to deer camp where I have a round dish permanently mounted and would like to take this receiver to use to watch tv. Will this receiver work with this dish? I doubt I'll be able to get HD content, but will I get SD versions of most of my...

I guess I"m in the minority, but I have always been a PIP fan and miss having PIP on my newer TVs and equipment. If I had it I would definitely use it. I think the reason PIP enabled TVs are rare is because manufacturers look for every way possible to reduce production costs, and not...

Called yesterday and was initially offered $5 per month discount for 6 months and free Showtime for 12 months. I told the CSR that I don't really watch movies so I'd pass on that deal. Then said I wanted to cancel ST. I really was going to cancel at that price. She transferred me to a 'ST...

My secretary signed up for D* about 5 months ago. Of course, because she's a new subscriber she was locked into a 24 month contract. She is moving at the end of the month, and her new apartment doesn't have a line of sight- her unit doesn't have a SW facing opening. Is there any way for her...

So, based on this information, with such a significant increase in subs D* could increase profits even if they didn't have an annual price increase. They obviously aren't hurting for $ with a billion dollars in profit for the quarter, so why the need to maintain the HD fee or have an annual...

I have a buddy that has D* who moved this weekend and wanted to take his D* service with him. The house he moved to has 1 RG6 cable run to each room in the house as it was wired for cable. The installer who handled my buddy's move said the single cables wouldn't work for his dual-tuner DVR...

I currently have an HR-23 DVR in my living room and a SD receiver as my 2nd receiver in the bedroom. I take my SD receiver with me when I go to hunting camp in the winter and up til now this system has worked great. I'm only at hunting camp periodically so I don't want to pay for full time...

It depends on what you expect. As long as you know that you will not receive any of the professional sports (MLB, NBA, etc) broadcasts on the regional sports networks because they all require additional package subscriptions, then the decision is yours. Personally, the only time I think it...

Yes, my contract has been fulfilled. I guess I am somewhat of a free agent. That being the case, I don't guess there is any was to negotiate the AAA discount onto my contact once I move, is there?

In about 2 months I will be moving and am curious about what my best option is. Should I request a move from D or should I close my current account and start a new account in my wife's name at our new address? If I select the 'move' option, will I keep all of my current equipment and have it...

I hope to begin construction on a new house in the next month and would like to hard wire it for D* and OTA. I currently have an HR-23 and a SD receiver (don't remember the model number). I'd like to look at adding at least one more HD receiver. What's the best way to go about making sure the...

Thanks for the information. I've talked it over with the manager and she's willing to grandfather me in but claims she has to get approval from corporate to do so. The complex recently changed owners and she doesn't know what the new owners will say because she hasn't worked with them very...

I've lived in my current apartment complex for 3 years and had D* for about 2 of the 3 years. I complied with all of the apartment rules at the time I had D* installed (no drilling, within the confines of my balcony, etc). Yesterday I got notice that the apartment policies regarding satellite...

Is it in HD? They did say there would be HD channels added by the end of Q1, and it's officially the end of Q1.
