    Cancel with New Customer Sign-up

    Hey rd76, If I understand your post correctly, you cancel every two years (I assume this is the length of your contract) and start over as a new customer. If I have this right, then: Q1. Are they aware that you are a former customer when you start over as a "new" customer? Q2. If they don't...

    Cancel with New Customer Sign-up

    Yes, she does. On that basis, is this a workable plan? What about the three questions?

    Cancel with New Customer Sign-up

    I'm planning on using the "Cancellation Bluff" to get what I want as a free or low-cost upgrade (from an old failing Hughes HDVR2 Tivo unit - with no time remaining on my contract - to an HR24 or HR34/Genie - single unit only), but assuming I am NOT successful, has anyone done the following, and...

    Compression Tool / Connector Compatibility

    Can anyone tell me if the JVI 10-CCT compression tool is compatible with either the PPC Ex6xl or the PPC Ex6 connector? If so, which one? And, if both, which would you recommend?

    RG6 Re-use

    Hutch, I searched for the spec's on the Leviton Quickport F Connectors (40831) and they seem to be good for 2.5 GHz (these are gold-plated, the nickel plated are good for only 1 GHz). The Leviton website shows nothing with a higher spec, so I assume this is the best they have to offer. The new...

    RG6 Re-use

    Thanks, Hutch, That's the answer I was hoping for. From your verbiage and your title, it sounds like you know what you're talking about. Unless someone else makes a strong case otherwise, I will proceed on that basis.

    RG6 Re-use

    I am planning an upgrade from an old Tivo HDVR2 to the new HR34 (HMC). I am hoping that I can utilize my existing RG6, because it's running through several walls from the attic and trying to pull a new RG6 would be nearly impossible (no, I can't pull a new run by using the existing as a "pull...

    Slimline Dish Mast O.D.

    I have a "permanent" (1 1/4" water pipe - 1.66" actual outside diameter) fixed mast on my roof. This was the right size for my old DirecTV dish, but I am soon switching to an HD dish, which I understand takes a mast which is larger in diameter. I want to adapt the existing mast to the new dish...
