"Drop Cox internet, get SBC for Dish and DSL and save some money. Rumor is that Dish is making a big HD announcement Friday." I looked into that, but after I did all the comparisons, I save about $15 by going with the Cox deluxe bundle. This includes unlimited long distance, all the other...

Bugeater, The cost for internet in Norman (OKC Market) is $39.95 or $49.95 if you rent the modem from Cox. Internet service drops out once in a while, but not enough to lose sleep over. Usually a modem reset solves the problem. I have Cox telephone also. It was a little cheaper (Approx...

Sarcoptic and VM, If your setup includes both a diplexor on the back of the STB and a multiswitch out by the dish and antenna, check to see if the multiswitch has a 12V symbol where the antenna cable hooks into it. Chances are there is if you currently have a sensor II installed and a single...
