    Getting a lot of Spam after becoming member here!

    After I enrolled at this site, I have been getting a ton of spam! This is the only site I have registered at my business address. Is anyone else having this problem? It would lead me to believe that they are selling their membership lists, or have been hacked.

    The use of D*

    <<I understand the use of E* for EchoSTAR, but D* for DirecTV... it just bothers me! >> Wow! If that's all you've got to keep you up nights, you're living a blessed life! Wish I had your lack of real worries! <G>

    RadioShack to offer only Dish Network

    I was in a Radio Shack in a small town recently, one inside a hardware store, talking to the manager about a PVR for my father-in-law. That particular Radio Shack recently stopped dealing with DISH due to poor customer service and now handles only DirecTV. Fine with me, now Dad-in-law can...

    getting D* service

    Tivo Dealer, your prices are good IF you are a new D* customer. As an existing customer I can get the DTivo at BB for $100. I do have a question for you, though. BB offers the RCA -39 and -40. What's the difference? I am interested in the RCA because I have been told that they are more...

    getting D* service

    PVR Zig, the PVR offered through D* is the same as BB/CC, a Direct Tivo. Yes, they are two tuners. Looks like the deal is the same. I bought my original PVR (an Ultimate TV) through BB. Install was quick and flawless. It's a toss up. One advantage I see for going through BB is that, if...

    getting D* service

    If you do not already gave DirecTv service, you can set up the install through BB/CC when you buy the Tivo unit. You will need a SAT dish with at least a dual LNB and you will have to have two cables running from the dish to your Tivo, since the Tivo is a dual tuner (can receive two programs at...

    New user/510 monthly fees

    I think you can get the monthly fee down to five bucks by moving your program package up just one notch. My understanding is that the fee is for the program guide so you'd have to pay it whether you got the receiver from Dish or E-bay. (I could be wrong) I'm not sure why they think the 510 is...

    510 Recording question

    Thanks for the replies. I have this feature on my Ultimate TV and I know Tivo has it. Just wanted to make sure the 5xx Dish PVRs had it before I get one for my father-in-law.

    510 Recording question

    With a 510, if you are recording a show, can you come in and watch the show from the beginning, even as the PVR continues to record the show? Example: "Judging Amy" comes on at 2100 and the 510 begins to record it. I go jump in the shower. At 2115, I want to watch "Amy" from the beginning...

    Why bother with Dish PVRs?

    I have found info on the 510 upgrade for existing customers. I believe it's free with a two year commitment or $100 for one year (plus $4.95 monthly fee.) Do they require trade in of the old receiver? Also, are there any deals on 508s anymore, other than the secondary market such as E-bay?
