    Options for Streaming Cable TV?

    Thanks. Am familiar these and they don't help my dau and are way, way to expensive if they did. I am going to pay for the service my dau gets. This gets her TV and for some reasonable amount extra, I can get the same service. Again, thanks.

    Options for Streaming Cable TV?

    Hola to All, I realize this is a 'satellite' forum, but perhaps I can get some alternatives here to my issue. My dau in PA is moving into a new rental home. I live in Mexico and was looking for a way to access U.S. TV. My first thought was to set her up with a Dish Hopper w/Sling system...

    Using both FTA and Dishnet receivers at the same time?

    Ok, FTA IS compatible with the DP34 and DPLNBFs; that is what I was looking for! (And yes, I understand bout the signals on DNs sats not being "true FTA"). Next question is, Will a typical FTA receiver power the DP34 OK, or MUST there be a DN receiver attached and "on" to power it?? i.e. if I...

    Is it possible type question!

    Yea, the Slingbox is more expensive and appears to be more "tech heavy" to set up and keep going. That is why this DECA box, at $99 and no buttons, dials, or other decision making protrusions, appeared to be a good way for this couple to go. Whether they will want to go with "recorded stuff...

    That is a nice unit! I had my eye on it, waiting for a "deal". Well, on Black Friday, Amazon had it for....get this....$200 shipped! (OneCall, I think). Well, I said if Black Friday was so good, I will just wait for Cyber Monday, might get better! Well, the price has never come below $249.00...

    Is it possible type question!

    Thanks guys... Ok, so if I understand this right, I can use Slingbox for live stuff, but DECA will only let me do recorded (DVR) stuff?

    Is it possible type question!

    I have some (non-tech) friends looking at a way to expand their directv viewing experience. I am into the 'streaming' and 'web tv' thing, but have no directv specialized knowledge. So, the question is: Given the new cinema service and CEDA connections available on some directv hardware, is...

    Some dish configuration advice?

    Helping a friend here setup his DirecTV stuff. While I have some experience with Dishnet and the general technology, I am not that familiar with the newer Direct stuff. He has a HD Dual Tuner/Pvr unit, brand new but not sure of the model (I can check if needed). We are in a very weak signal...
