    Which satellite system should I buy?

    I have Sky A*. It seems to me that they have done everything possible to tick off their customers lately. The new equipment they forced us to buy is supposed to be "new and improved", but it really isn't. They are scrambling the signal so we can't record, even though their web site had said we...

    Which satellite system should I buy?

    Thanks for checking the channels out!! CTN, according to the link below, is FTA and shouldn't be scrambled. Also, there are more channels/stations on this list that you aren't getting, it seems. http://www.satelliteguys.us/thelist/index.php?page=97+Galaxy+25

    Which satellite system should I buy?

    This fixed dish/97w sounds great! How big is the dish for this? To have access to open sky, it needs to be installed on top of the house. There is an old Dish satellite up there now and the house has the cable run. (Hubby did this in app. 2004 to 2006) I'll check what stations there are, but...

    Which satellite system should I buy?

    Thought so! lol! :) The issue I have with Glorystar is the low number of Christian TV channels that I want. Can I get all of Galaxy 19 channels on a fixed satellite somehow?

    Which satellite system should I buy?

    My husband is an engineer and a Type A overachiever. He could figure out the electronics and installation. He's done that before. I am the dummy here. lol Satellite AV - You are such a fan of Glorystar. Do you work for them?

    Which satellite system should I buy?

    What does STB and LNB mean? I'd like to watch 2 different channels and am willing to pay for better quality and easier to use equipment. Is there a brand name of satellite and receiver/DVR and model that is preferrable? My husband can install (if he gets good instructions).

    Which satellite system should I buy?

    Which satellite system is best for free-to-air? I am interested in Christian shows and know they are on Galaxy 19. I see that Glorystar is available, but is rather expensive. The prices they gave me for 2-rooms are higher than their ads - $460 - $500. I would like to be able to record to DVD...

    Sky Angel STB Upgrade.

    You still have 48 hour playback for Faith/Christian TV channels. The new set top boxes encrypt/scramble the signals and you can NOT record to DVD at all. They slammed all of us on this because their web site still said you could record; that is, until so many of us called to complain that we...

    Sky Angel STB Upgrade.

    The old set top box was better because you could record with it. The "new features" will never make up for this. Sky Angel really screwed up by not informing/warning customers about this and is either unethical or incompetent.

    Seeking all info possible on Glorystar

    You CAN record directly to DVD?? I thought you couldn't do that. (That's what the sales lady there told me.) Which tuner (?) do you that you are able to do that. How do you hook everything up and tell it what/when to record?

    Seeking all info possible on Glorystar

    I am considering getting Glorystar and would like any and all input on it. Signal strength, products, performance.... I am especially interested in recording, especially how to get shows to a DVD. How do you like using a flashdrive? Sounds like you have to record to the DVR, transfer to a...

    Can I use a DVD recorder?

    Recording on Direct TV: I just got off the phone with an installer. I hope I remember this accurately. He told me that, in order to record a show directly to DVD, I would have to set the receiver to the correct station in advance. Alternatively, I could record to the DVR and then transfere...

    I'm thinking about pulling the trigger, some Questions

    I am so glad someone told me about this site. I had no idea getting Direct, etc. was so complicated. Too many decisions to make for someone who knows zero. My head is already hurting. I have cable now and a tech told me that the wiring in my house is old and needs to be upgraded. I don't know...

    Can I use a DVD recorder?

    Thank you, ClemSole! I'll need that info. Do ALL DVRs have outputs to hook my DVD player to? Do I have to get the DVRs from the service provider or is it a good idea or what? I have heard that a Vulcano is superior because you can do things like record off of the internet. Is that's what is...

    Can I use a DVD recorder?

    Thank you for the welcome! This site is AWESOME! What service do you have, rey_1178? Double checking - I can use a DVD player/recorder and don't need a DVR? Are there any services that don't allow recording? Will any not allow it in the near future? Sky Angel is saying this is the case.
