    18x23 dish mod

    Thanks Davedirectv for the link, good info there. Thanks to the other posters for there input too. Well it looks like my Phase II dish is a harder mod due to the LNB arm style. Maybe a Phase III arm on the larger Phase II dish may work. I think for now I will look around for a Phase III and mod...

    18x23 dish mod

    Thanks guys, I will find a used LNB to use on my dish. I like others like to tinker with things and see if I can get it to work. Also being on a budget and not really wanting to spend $90 or $100 on a slimline. Hopefully I can get results for free or near free suits me just fine. I am sure I...

    18x23 dish mod

    Thanks tvropro, didn't find what I was looking for there. I more or less want to know if a mod is possible to the 18x23 dish with a SL3 LNB. I want to get directv signals off of 99,101,103 sats. I guess I will have to get a SL3 lnb and try it myself. It should work similar to a phase III. The...

    18x23 dish mod

    Has anyone modded a 18x23 dish with a SL3 lnb? I know of the phase III dish mod, but that is a 18x20 inch dish. I am assuming the mod I need to do will be different as the dish is a little bigger at 18x23, not sure of the arm length is different on a phase III too. I got this dish free and want...

    starz / showtime $10 special

    I noticed on my online account that I could activate starz/showtime for $10 a month for 3 months. I called a CSR to cancel my 3 month 2 for 1 hbo/cinamax deal and asked if they could activate the special for me at the same time. The CSR couldn't find that deal at his end, only a $12.99 or...

    old legacy style lnb works I use an old 20 inch dish500 dishnet dish with a dishnetwork legacy lnb at my summer vacation RV. I went to a local sat. guy who gave it to me. (used) I have it pointed at 101 and get 99 percent on most transponders. It works just fine mounted on a tripod.

    Old RCA receivers

    Don't heave'm right away. I came across an old RCA unit still new in the box. Box shows its a referb. I called directv to see if it's any good to activate. The first CSR transferred me to another CSR. I asked If it can be turned on. She asked for the RID. Told her it's an older unit with only a...

    previous customer

    I was a Directv customer 10 yrs ago and cancelled when I moved. Will Directv still have my account info on file? I am thinking of getting Directv again. Is it possible to reactivate my old account or will they just start a new account and consider me a new customer and get the current promotions?

    Dishnetwork activation without SSN (not prepaid)

    Does anyone know if dish will activate without a SSN ? I don't mind paying some $$$ upfront then have it taken off every month until used up. I know directv does this. Does dishnet do something similar ? I hate giving up personal info to a huge faceless company. Who knows how secure your private...
