    Pole Mount

    Ok, found out the rule. No mounting to building structure and no digging into ground. drove around today and saw 1 in ground, but the rest were either cemented into flower pots or 5 gallon buckets. I will get cement and flower pot. What material should I get the 2" pole in? PVC?

    Pole Mount

    Ok, so I am 95% sure I will be going with Direct TV Choice HD DVR promo w/ hbo, stars,max,sho and HD extra pack. Will be moving to 1st floor condo, so no roof and no balcony. Provided I have shot to sats, I imagine I need a pole mount which I understand is notincluded. I also imagine it...

    Been gone a long time- Interested in Direct

    I would really only need 1 DVR, but would also want all the premium channels and all HD I could get, so I have to figure that out now. Since Comcast is so damn expensive, if dish works (it would probably have to be tripod mountee), I think I am going to go that route. Does it pay to go...

    Been gone a long time- Interested in Direct

    So $199 upfront and that is to lease all 3 receivers? Yes is the Yankees Network (I live in NJ). So it worksout to 86 per month for 1st year, then roughly $107 + tax for year 2? That will get me all HD + their biggest channel pack? Thanks for your help. I will have to see if my...

    Scientic Atlanta HDTV cablebox

    I am fairly certain the DVI jack works simultaneoulsy with the Component jack. Pretty sure you will be ok with svideo and comp or HDMI.

    8300 User Experience and Tips

    Some nice tips I did not know about. While not as polished as some of the older Dish PVR's (501/522) I had, the 8300 is far more stable then the 522 ever was AND records HD :).

    Cablevision Airing YES in Hi Def

    Very glad I switched from Dish to cablevision. Saving money, havean HD PVR and now Yankess in HD. They add Hdnet, Discovery hd and INHD2 and all will be perfect (until FIOS comes out with their TV offerings).

    First Look - Dish Whole House HD/SD Solution?

    My god, can you imagine what a piece of crap this will be for the 1st 3 years of it's existence (if it makes it that long). They can't even release a stable stand alone box, think they will nail this the 1st 5xs out. Good luck!

    Time Warner cable stinks

    Much happier with me cable Dumped Dish end of Feb and went back to Cablevision. While the 8300HD DVR may not have as polished a user interface as some of the Dish DVR's, it works great for me. PQ is noticeably better on all channels, not washed out on my Sony kv32hs420, even analog lok decent...

    Has anyone else been talking to Executive Offices of Dish Network recently ?

    Altho I had not really had too many negative issues with CS, I voted my displeasure with Dish using my Checkbook. They no longer get $120/month from me. Nor will they in the near future. Cable has my business now and depneding on how d LOOKS (HARDWare price wise) when they roll out Mpeg4, they...
