ok thanks for the replies, I'd like to be clear on this before I hit ebay. I have a 510 with a UHF remote that has a black chip inserted at the bottom. the matching remotes I see on ebay are mostly blue chipped (I don’t see any black) and are listed as being for the 522. But they are...

holy crap wow those are cheap. i never thought to look. so what's the deal with the color coded key at the bottom of the remote? does it actually do anything or is it simply a label in case you have multiple receivers.

Thought I'd check here for everyone’s experiences. need to replace remote via the warranty .... but I'm "moved". Is it better to call and move back; call again to replace equipment; then move back? Or will they ship replacement to the billing address? and if they say they will, will...

this is in fact a stupid MLB policy. If you live in a zip code claimed by the cubs you would be blacked out from ESPN because the game is on WCIU in chicago. MLB doesn't take into account whether you can actually get WCIU or not... it's all in the zip code. So people outside of chicago, but...

I've got the reboot when playing a recording problem as well. Haven't lost any recordings yet. I keep hoping a new software release will fix it.. still waiting.

makes you wonder if the Chicago big 4 SD and HD are still on a conus beam for a reason.... I know I appreciate it.

as soon as my contract is up.. or as soon as chicago locals go on spot beam.. I'm gone. I'm a sports fan, and now I know I need to go elsewhere to scratch that itch. too bad D* doesnt offer porn on a monthly basis like Dish.. they still have that advantage :)

i would maybe say.. they need to get the same deal InDemand got.. it was good enough for them to agree to it.

well now its simple... if Dish doesn't get it, I leave as soon as I can. are you listening, Dish ? probably not but I hope so.

I just called to resolve my problem a different way.. I noticed the very first thing on the phone menu is now.. calling about EI, press 1, everything else, press 2. going with 1 sends you to a CSR... I didnt follow up because of my other business. anyone know if they have anything new to...

Oh I wish that were true. I have no faith in Congress to actually follow up. Somewhere, quietly, campaign contributions will be made.

ahhh ok, i used my local informant to find a real apartment complex.. and list an apartment number 9 floors above the top of the building. :) Shhhhhhhh

whoa so the channel is still available but only the blackout has changed.. I misunderstood. Ill see what my buds back in C-U tell me.. ( i used to live there)

It is my understanding that it is illegal for a US company to *require* a SSN. They can ask for it, but supposedly cannot deny you service if you refuse to provide it. I never give out my SSN to anyone. So far I have never been denied anything, although I have had to argue the point on...

I heard the following from a friend in central Illinois: In most of central Illinois NE of Springfield, the sat companies mark comcast sports net chicago as the RSN. However... the fan split in the area is really more 50-50... so some cable companies in the area (champaign-urbana is one...
