    How much does Fios TV really cost?

    Hahaha, that situation with billing was quite an adventure...felt sorry for the person in billing I was talking with as she really had no idea what took place during the install. Anyway we got through straightening out the extra charges added, (I hope) and now I can get my blood pressure back...

    How much does Fios TV really cost?

    Switching to FiOS Triple Freedom My wife and I decided it was time to make a switch from E* to FiOS since it has just become available to us in the last couple of months. Cleaning the snow off our satellite dishes on our roof yesterday was the final straw. We signed up today for the 20/5...

    Q13 Fox HD in Seattle...when?

    E*-Tribune/KCPQ 13-Fox HD? Haha...I have been waiting for a couple of years and have almost given up. I believe there is or will be an ownership change which may help in our quest for HD viewing on Q13. And again that could be soon.

    Haha...I almost had to put a nitro patch on during the game on Sunday when they fumbled inside the 10...when on the play before they had run and centered the ball in the field. Thought they were going to kick the field goal and go up by 9 with less then 2 minutes to go. Oh my ticker!!!

    My D-500 sat dish had the original double LNB bracket removed and the I-Bracket installed for the single LNB for the 129 satellite which was removed from the D-1000. My comparison between the D-1000 3-LNB sat system and the dedicated D-500 with I-Bracket for the 129 satellite is located in the...

    QUOTE=brad1138][/url]I cannot see how E* thinks they will gain that much with the 24" dish The 24" dish give about 10-15 point signal increase over the D500. In the field we always reference Xponder 11. A D1000 usually gives mid-high 50's, D500 low-mid 60s and the 24" dish is right about 80...

    I think what E* is doing by replacing the D-500 Sat Dish with the 24" dish is a futile attempt to rectify a half dead wobbling bird!!! The D-500 Sat Dish I have for my dedicated 129 sat dish measures 22 1/4" H X 20 1/2" Wide. I cannot see how E* thinks they will gain that much with the 24" dish...

    Hahaha, you too!!! I have about 11 months to go and I am hoping by then that Verizon has Fios TV available for us. They have branched off from the west side of Gun Club Hill and are a couple miles from our place at the present time. No more E* or D* satellite for me after this contract is up...

    This last February I complained about my Dish 1000 with the 129 sat reception and Dish Network sent out a tech. After checking my D1000 signal readings and adjusting to the 129 sat with little gain, he then discussed the situation with his boss back at the office and they decided to go with a...

    Senate Committee Rejects Cable 'a la Carte' Pricing

    aaronhoes, sorry for me being an a------! I was having kind of a bad morning and as you can see it shows!!! Yeah, I also like the ESPN networks but I would like the A La Carte or "Freedom Of Choice" way of selecting the channels I watch. Myself, I subscribe to the HD Silver package with locals...

    Senate Committee Rejects Cable 'a la Carte' Pricing

    (Origanally posted by aaronhoes) These retirees might want to be careful what they wish for. If this does go through the very channels that they do want may not be available for very long if they are unpopular with everybody else. This could cause those networks to take a big hit to their...

    A thread to rant about "HD-Lite"

    DWS44, I couldn't agree with you more!!! Since we have got the Seattle/Tacoma HD LIL...it is unlikely that you can view a TV channel for an hour without something going wrong such as pixelation, break-up, sound problems or the black screen, although I don't have near as much black screen as when...

    129 Satellite, which dish?

    Pajer, I am not familiar with your area as I live on the west coast north of Seattle. At my home during the first week of Feb, 06 Dish 1st installed the D-1000 but could only get a reading in the range of the 50's for the 129 satellite and I would lose most of the channels in the 15 Voom HD...

    Long time D* guy looking to get more HD and going to the dark side

    Hang in There!!! Hey Madtown HD Junkie...Ha ha, I also got tired of the promise of new HD by D* and made the switch to E* the 1st of this last February. I signed up with the HD Silver Package with Locals. The problem I have is that the Voom related HD package with 15 HD channels is on the 129...

    Why No FOX...KCPQ in HD For Seattle/Tacoma I wonder if the reason the Seattle/Tacoma LIL did not get the FOX-KCPQ in HD is because of Rupert Murdock, FOX Broadcasting Company and D* not having LIL HD provided to the Seattle/Tacoma DMA?

    Dish Network = Stupidity

    Ha ha...Hey Greg, if you decide to go ahead and dump them, give me an e-mail and I will hop on the Edmonds-Kingston ferry and see if I can talk to you about getting your 1.2 meter dish setup from you to replace my designated 129 Dish 500!!!

    Signal to 129 in Los Angeles/Orange County

    I would go ahead and let Dish Network install the D1000 for the 110 & 119 satellites as you should get good reception for the 110 & 119 sats. You can have an "I" adapter installed on the D500 dish and have them remove the 129 LNB from the D1000 & install on the D500 for a dedicated 129 sat dish...

    Looking for Orbital Locations - Pacific NW (Seattle, WA)

    I had a problem also with the reception from the 129 satellite on the D1000. After having the Dish installers come out to my house a couple of times to try getting the 129 satellite Voom channels from dropping out, I finally made a call to ceo@echostar.com about the drop outs and unlocking of...

    joeh, sorry about my smart a-- remark made above...but I couldn't resist. I don't know where your ground wire goes too by looking at your pictures? I would suggest speaking to to your local city or county government on the grounding requirements for your satellite dish grounding. They may...
