    Dish Rights and Permission

    Hey Guys, I was wondering what my rights are and what the likelihood was that I would be able to put up a dish from dish network. I have a large patio according to my best guess and calculations it should work. What I am wondering is if my landlord will approve of me putting up a dish. Have...

    Anyway around the 2 year commitment for new customers?

    Well, if that is the case I am going with Dish Network. Two year commitments are crazy. I would even be willing to pay a $100 or $200 without having to sign a contract. Oh well, their loss. Thanks everyone. Matt

    Time to wait for Comcast to install 20 Mb Internet connection and basic cable

    Does anyone know in what time frame Comcast would be to install a new 20 Mbps Internet connection with basic cable. I am moving back to MN from Wisconsin. I currently own a cable modem. So what type of time frame are we looking at? A few days/a few weeks? What do you guys think? :confused:

    My First FTA System

    Yeah, that is kind of crazy. I figured you could get most or all of the Ku channels on the list assuming I had a clear view of the sky. I have no problem spending the extra money if it is better, but I want the best one of the two. Which one will provide me the most channels? I would assume...

    My First FTA System

    I have a couple other questions. So if I go with the more expensive system that being the "M-2 Motorized DYNAMIC Satellite Choice Set" system I'll get more channels? Also, what if I can't reach true south? I think there is a tree in the way. I know for sure I can reach some satellites, but I...

    Is there anything good on east of Galaxy 28?

    A dang tree is blocking my view. I might be able to get Galaxy 18 and 19 according to Dish Pointer, but it'll be close. The tree will most likely block everything in between Galaxy 18 and 19. The building will block everything west of Galaxy 18. I live on the 3rd floor (top floor) of an...

    Having both FTA and Dish Network in an Apartment

    I guess my next question would be are FTA and Dish Network considered multiple services? Does the FCC give me the right to have multiple satellite services in one apartment.

    Having both FTA and Dish Network in an Apartment

    Hi guys, This is my first post into the forum. I have a quick question. Legally, do I have the right to put up two dishes on an apartment balcony? I know the FCC gives you the right to put up "a dish" but I don't know how the law stands as far as multiple dishes. I want to put up a dish...
