Oh gotcha. Thanks for clearing up my confusion so well, by going into a detail explanation as to why. Thank you.

When I had Directv installed, the HD DVRs needed two RG-6 cables ran from the satellite to the receiver in order to be able to record 2 different shows and such. Now I am getting a Dish Network installed. I was told that the Dish HD DVRs (722 and 612) don't need two cables ran from the...

Just another question. When they would retest, and I retest during satellite setup. It says errors found on both tuners. And only 2 out of the 6 usually pass. Is that just testing signal strength? and its not passing cause mine is low. Or is something else wrong?

I have the slimline 3 lnb, installed on Saturday. My zip code is 08056. I've tried some of the tips everyone has given. I'm getting around 80 to 85 on average. With a responder sometimes gettin up to 87, and others getting as low as 77. But most are in the real early 80s now.

I'm not sure if they crimped or compressed it. I'll have to look into the issue more and figure it out. Not sure how I would know just lookin at it.

Nevermind I thought it might be the b-band converters possibly. But that isn't it. I am just reaching trying to find some explanation.

Well unfortunately I'm just a customer, and trying a different one would mean buying one for my own. Which is an expense I don't really want to make if I don't know. I asked the supervisor who came after the installation if that could be the problem. He said, since there is some signal, that can...

I've adjusted the satellite to exactly what I believe to equal what I was told by dishpointer.com and with help from someone telling me how signal was doing. I got it so my transponders from each are between 77 and 84. But I am still hoping for better, considering how clear my LOS is. Is that an...

Alright, well I got the install yesterday of Directv. It was a long an painful process, but that is another story I will post later. As for right now I am tryin to tweak it, cuz the installers gave pretty low signal strength(In 60s sometimes). What exactly should I expect to get as signal...

I would absolutely love if they got CSN Philly. Thats one of the major drawbacks of me switching to Directv.

I hope mine tomorrow goes just as smooth.

Yeah. I'd be curious to actually see some info. I'm about to be a new Directv subscribing, and will be getting my first DVR ever this Saturday. So I don't have much personal experience, but I have followed developments for a while, cuz I am an electronics geek through and through, and it always...

Assuming I get D*. I def would be interested in participating in the CE program. I haven't finalized a decision cause I'm gonna let my girl have some say. But thanks to everyones input on this forum, I got a good pros and cons lists, and know exactly where I stand pretty well. I look forward to...

Sounds good guys. Two additional questions I have Rey if you know the answer. In your experience is it easier to change programming features, like adding and dropping premium channels on D*? From what I read online it appears E* charges 5 bucks to drop and premium channels or drop to a lower tv...

I'm currently looking between both dish and directv, and must say, this was as good an honest comparison as I've found so far. thanks for the read rey. The only question I would have is. Are the sports really better on directv if you only subscribe to the sports package? And not any of the...

Yeah I'll probably try the sport package out for sure. But not sure if it will be worth it for me, as it doesn't have my local sports channels, and I have heard that there are a lot of blackouted games for out of region games. But its worth a try at 6 bucks and cancel if I'm not satisfied...

As for the DishStore offer, I found out about that last night, and I def saw how good of an offer it is. So I do expect me to go that route. Its a great offer, and I saw it helps this site which I really liked since I started lurking here about a week ago, so another plus. As for the golden...

I am currently trying to decide between Directv and Dish for satellite service. I am tired of cable, and want to try out satellite and their DVR and see how I like it. My question though to Dish customers pertains to how they can control their account online. I see it described on Directv's...

Right now I'm deciding on what satellite service to get. I'm torn on this issue. I really would like to have Versus. But at same time I also want Gol TV which Dish doesn't have. I just hope Directv can come to terms to keep the channel so I will be able to have both.

Hmm...well all the satellite specialists I've searched for online, are nowhere near me. I live in an area where there aren't a convenient satellite specialist dealer. The closest one is about an hour away, but I could go if thats my best option. As a closer option, does anyone know if I went to...

Reading this thread has both made me excited and hesitant about subscribing to D*. I love the idea that they may soon offer me the option to get MRV, but I hate the idea that if I order now, they are gonna give me old out-of-date hardware. Is this always the case? Will they not give you a good...
