Just wait until you get your tax bill for having better than average reception to reimburse your local broadcasters for loss of revenue. :p

I do not have FIOS available at my address but it is available very near me but that's been the case for quite a while. It took them forever to even make DSL available to me due to being too far in each direction to get an acceptable level for usage as verified by site survey. The irony of...

I didn't read all the posts in this thread but I believe I have the answer as of a few years ago. I have maintained a Direct TV account for years. I am granfathered into the old policy of 2nd home usage which then allowed you to have a receiver at a 2nd home as long as the service was the same...

And SkyAngel has been out of business for a year now. Well OK I guess you could argue that SA IPTV is still SA, except to avoid giving free service to the lifetimers SA itself says it was created as a separate business. So technically SA died. Kinda ironic how that saga turned out. I used to...

If something shouldnt be free and it is, enjoy it while you can and dont complain when they scramble Well I suppose good people can disagree as to whether you should EVER have to pay to receive an unencrypted OTA broadcast signal. :) May explain the ungodly number of old BUDs in the area...

JMO but I would be very careful of buying from a site that offers no phone number at all on it's website. Looks like they just want you to order by PayPal or credit card with no way to follow up if there is a problem, unless you have to actually make the purchase before getting any kind of...

After looking over The List for 101 I see that I had a preset Transponder Frequency of 11822 so I manually changed it to 11821 for 3ABN which I know to be a FTA channel. The strength went from 0 to now 10. I haven't been to the antenna to retry pointing, but am I understanding the TP thing...

In the LNB Menu Standard High LO was 11,250 which I now manually changed to 10,750 Low LO 0 Power on 22 KHz Then in the scan menu TP Frequency 11,708 Polarization H [L] Right now the level is 20 Quality 0 So if I understand right the power from the receiver to the LNB is fine, just no...

I am ready to attempt to get my Ku antenna working. I have been using my receiver to get Echostar 7 from a DBS dish but I've had no luck at all with getting the Ku antenna to work. My goal is to get either AMC 4 101 W or the 99 W bird for the GloryStar channels. The antenna is an old Primestar...

Just a word of caution to late adopters. Some of those old TVs displayed in the link may "work" with the converter but it will look like crap. I have a 20 year old set that is just barely tolerable with the converter. I can just imagine what it would look like on an old tube b&w set! :D

I hope it's OK to post this but I started a little family friendly blog just to kill time that some of my readers say I should promote more. It is a chronicle of sorts about my experiences with 3 cats that started hanging out by my door and their interrelations with the world. Blackie The Wise...

I've got a Zenith and 2 Radio Shack Digital Stream boxes. All do just what they're supposed to, as does the HDTV tuner in my widescreen TV. I actually thought this thread was going to be about the fact that despite all the new channels there is still not much new programming outside of PBS. At...

Speaking in the dark this could be good for IPTV but bad for the purposes of SA IPTV. But as I said not only earlier before reading this but way back before SA IPTV sent out a single box if IPTV in general is to succeed it needs to be more inclusive, not more restrictive. Religious Programming...

Actually even before the box was available I questioned the impression presented that the box was locked so that you couldn't get other programming. Having other programming available actually makes the service more attractive to me. Others may bellyache about non-SA programming being available...

On the bright side every main local channel was covering it. I hope you didn't toss out the rabbit ears. It's always good to keep a backup method for viewing no matter what provider you subscribe to. Stuff happens!

Maybe it's a Chinese knock-off down at the flea market. :D I will say I've had good luck with RG-59 for OTA and for the most part with DBS. But for the tiny difference in price I'd certainly recommend RG-6. You may be glad you did later.

In my market the only Christian channels are TBN, Daystar, and CTV - all of which are available OTA anyway. At least the last I checked. I doubt they would ever carry a station like TCT, which is mom's favorite.

This forum has kinda been dead compared to the SA DBS days. Is it because this IPTV version is so much better and virtually problem free after the initial install or are there just way less subscribers? Now I'm sure this forum has only attracted a small fraction of the groups as a whole. Still...

Personally, I just wish the adult channels had REAL descriptions What's to describe? Boy meets girl. Other boy meets other girl. Both girls meet. Then switch partners and doo-see-doe. Oh wait! That's Skin-a-Max. :D

Well actually no, I haven't done that. Seemed like a fair enough disclosure that despite my differences with Dish I could appreciate the offer and didn't see the need to be quick on the trigger once the channels were no longer essentially free. Besides you know well that people pull up threads...

just return the box and don't worry about it. Now I know why they needed my $17 bucks so bad. To pay for some of that useless postage of sending empty boxes back & forth to fetch receivers that are already back in the warehouse. :D

Well that helps support my 2nd theory! :D Yea I thought it might be an equipment issue. Seems like people have been complaining ever since I can remember. But then again! ????? :smug

Short answer is I had the Essentials Service plus locals for like $17.25 and the Cinemax for $.01 promo. To get it you have to phone in and get a 2nd tier rep like retention or something as most 1st tier reps think you mean the HD Essentials package. But you might get lucky with online chat and...

Maybe it's because their national feed is now called America's WGN Superstation or something like that and things around the country are a little fuzzy at the moment. :p Or maybe it's those Angels in the Outfield keeping the Cubbies on top you're almost seeing? :D

I was a customer for over 9 years and have owned my 508 for years. No contract commitments of any sort.
