    EAGLE ASPEN DTVP3DS? what for?

    Good information so far, thanks! Will this dish be useful if I inted to get Indian channels on DTV? As I understand these channels are available on 119 but apparently you 'require' a 36" dish.

    Experience with new 36" Dish

    I am going to do some more research on why particular set of channels are available through lower powered satellite resulting in the customers having to spend more money to buy additional equipment. It would be so much to the benefit of customers and the company itself if the channels work...

    Yes. I need South Asian programming pacakage. DO I ABSOLUTELY NEED THIS? Does the current D* promo (free equipment for new customers with 1 yr. programming) provide the dish I need for this? The rep at Best Buy said it is an oval dish... does it mean what i need?

    Is that really true? I know you need to have a new card. I have known people who activated accounts with used equipment.

    Experience with new 36" Dish

    I am wondering why do you need 36" dish, and why a normal dish will not work for South Asian package. Can i not just subscribe to HindiDirect as advertised on D*.. for 29.99? Do I need to add some other package?

    alta: I do not intend to order special sports packages other than CricketTicket occassionally. I am told by many sources that if the CSR asks to plug in the phone line, tell him you don't have the phone jack near the receiver and you will do so later. Point is that they DO NOT NEED the phone...

    I am looking at certain models on sale on eBay. Virgin sealed P5 card, and guaranteed to work receiver models which have no balances on them. QUESTION: do the card and receiver need to be married in any way? Can I take an independent card and receiver, both working fine and call D* to...

    Do you need the phone line to be plugged into the receiver in order to activate for the first time? (no DVR, no TiVO, just standard receiver) I know you don't need it later if you are not ordering special packages or PPV etc. and that is not my intention anyways. I just want to subscribe to...
