    Urgent: Installer says I MUST have 2 Dishes for HD, What Gives?

    OK, so what I'm hearing is that if I don't have a line of sight issue that in fact one single 1000+ dish can pick up 119, 110 and 129 + 118.7 for locals. What about the comments regarding 61.5 being "better" for the strength of HD in my area (Raleigh, NC zipcode 27614). thx!

    One or Two Dish Antenna Avoid Rain Fade with HD?

    Guys, In Raleigh, NC and looking to finally upgrade to HD with Locals. If I want to maximize signal strength to avoid Rain Fade would it be worth the hassle to use two Dish Reflector / Dishes vs one single Dish 1000? Thanks! bradesp

    Is any of the rental program information available on line? This could be a more economical way to go. For clarification, I want 7 single tuner boxes for simplicity. This is a beach rental with theoretical potential for all 7 tv's running at the same time. I need this to be idiot proof...

    Charles Dolan to buy Voom Back?

    Dude, What are you smokin? I"ve started and sold many businesses. To compare CVC or Professional Sports to Voom is just not logical. CVC losses (like the losses E* experienced in the early years) are quite acceptable if the losses are fueling growth. Voom as 25K subscribers a year into...
