    My DirecTV install experience

    That deck looks like it's raised above the ground, why didn't he go under the deck and thru the gaps in the wood. Than you wouldn't be triping over that nice white cable. And yes them staples looks bad. I also agree to why he didn't use any washers on the bolts, he did on one of them, I would...

    I don't understand DirecTv or Dish Network, they both suck!

    HEY!! Who the H*LL do you think you are?!?!? I have a 7yo son with Autism, and I find your handle very offensive. When I first got my Directv system around 1999. It was a RCA system that I purchased from Wal-Mart and installed it myself, it was fairly simple, except for the alignment of...

    Remote Codes

    I am having problems finding the correct code for my remote to access my TV set, well I have found codes that will work the volume, channel, as well as the On and Off, but none of the codes will allow the remote to work the “TV Input” bottom. The TV that I have is a SHARP LC-32SB24U 32” LCD...

    HD-DVR from Costco

    I am currently a subscriber with D100 receivers. There’s one in the living room and one in the master bedroom. I would like to upgrade to a DVR receiver in the living room. I found that I can get a New HD-DVR from Costco Warehouse at a good price. They don’t have any DVR only units, just HD or...

    Back with DTV

    Since no one answered the question that Conair had. I have a question about the DSL only line. Would there be any benefit to connect your receiver to the DSL line? Would it even work? I know that you can run your receiver without a landline. Just being a Curious George!

    Dish Change

    I have 2 receivers on this dish, don't know their models, about 4 years old. There are two lines from the dish that go to a switch. If I do plan to go to DVR, I will only add it to the Living Room. Sounds like I am going to have to run a second cable from a multiswitch to the receiver. So your...

    Dish Change

    When switching to a DVR receiver, will I have to change out my dish? I beleive that the dish I have is a simple 3 LNB Dish, but I beleive that only 2 of the 3 LNB are being used. I beleive that you need to change the dish out for a HD Receiver. Just wondering if you need to change it for a DVR...

    Local Deputy Sheriff Busted for stealing service

    I heard over our local news radio that there were 9 Deputies with our sheriff department that were busted for sharing the same address for satellite service. Meaning that they were paying about $5 per receiver. I was looking for the story, but couldn't find one, on our local news web sites. If I...

    DirecTV introducing new DVR tomorrow 10/9

    Do you have to have 2 cable runs from the dish to hook up a DVR Receiver? I have one cable to each of 4 rooms and it would be a task to run a second one to any of these room, but not impossible. I also have a 18" round dish, with a dual LNB, running into the attic to a 2 dish in, OTA in and 4...

    D10-200 Upgrades

    I tried to do that "Force Upgrade" but it just does the same thing as if I had unplugged the unit for a while and started it again. Also all 4 of these units are not plugged into a phone line. I don't have a landline phone. They are usually not turned off either, so they are on 24/7, I never...

    When will I be a new customer again?

    In April 2004 I had cancelled D* when I moved into a new house and changed to the local cable service, so I can have broadband for my internet. I was a customer for over 4 years than. So I signed a year contract with them, very disappointed with the TV side of cable, so I first cancelled the...

    Do you use Broadband or Dial-up?

    Like everybody else, started with dial up, then when Qwest offered DSL to my house just outside the city limits, I jump on that, then moved out of the that house after 3 months. Now we live in the city limits and using broadband cable. I don't see much different in the speed between DSL and...
