Well, I had DTV HD at my apartment and went through struggles to get it working and when I finally did, a tree branch grew just long enough to interfere with most of the HD signals. Anyway, I just switched to Cox HD with 1 Scientific Atlanta HD-DVR receiver and 1 Scientific Atlanta HD...

Yeah, this might be true. Now in the main office, they have all these special offer (for residents only) coupons/brochures for the local cable company.

My porch is my "exclusive area". You walk up a set of stairs and you have my front door and only my front door. I'm responsible for keeping it clean and the items I place on it. Prior to moving in, I had requested an apartment that had a balcony facing S. or a corner unit. I was told that is...

I'm looking into that right now. A DTV rep sent me a FCC link and it's providing me a lot of info.

Good advice, I wish I thought of that when I moved in. As they say, hind-sight is always 20/20. I figured that management approval of the install and location was perfectly acceptable.

I will try to get a letter, that might be my best option... The porch was considered an "OK" place to install, but I don't think corporate liked the size or height of the tripod for the Slimline dish. The installer that did the job knew the management (he had done nearly all the installs in...

Well, a month after moving into my apartment, I have to give up DTV. I'm actually quite upset, given the fact that my apartment management allowed the installation and gave me the "OK" prior to moving in. So the story from one of the apartment managers was "Corporate came down to view the new...

So my problem is specifically a ESPN2HD problem and I only notice it while watch NASCAR. The PQ is great, no problems, but whenever they switch to a certain camera (same camera, typically a turn 4 camera) the signal momentarily freezes. Is this a coverage problem (their broadcasting) or my D*...

I've only been a D* customer for 18 months... No loyalty yet, but I did get an additional free HD receiver and my movie premiums free for 4 months.

No thanks.

What exactly is a flat cable? From the satellite, it's 2 cables bonded together, until it gets inside where it splits off. The fog isn't too thick and now I don't think the fog is a problem. It was foggy last night and I didn't have any problems. I'm a bit concerned with the signals...

Here's the pics! Sorry it took so long! I had to get 15 posts before I could post links or pics. Here is a picture right behind the dish (the shadow is the dish): Here is the tripod and dish (the smaller dish is for the person below me): Another angle of the dish location...

While it sucks they didn't call 911, I can't imagine that no one had a cell phone on them...

New member from Oceanside, CA... I've had DTV since 2005 and have read the forums for over a year before finally registering. I have 2 HR21-100 receivers connected to an LG 50" Plasma 720p and Samsung 37" LCD 1080p. I've also been a Sirius subscriber since 2006. This place is a great...

Yikes, never heard of that before! Can you imagine the mess of feathers? Either way, the taxi driver has an early Thanksgiving dinner. ;)
