    Indoor install of slimline?

    So I've exahausted all options, and my homeowners assocaition will not let me install a dish either on the roof, anywhere on the building, or on my balcony beacuse the dish will hang over. Examining the direction in which my dish would be facing, I may have a clear shot at the proper...

    Do DirecTV installers use railing mounts?

    I live in a Condo, and the association only allows Dish Network dieshes to be mounted on the building rooftops (a whole other legal issue possibly, I know), but I think I have a good shot at getting the DirecTV signals from outside of my sliding door, if the dish is mounted to my railing which...

    Info needed on Boston Celtics on CSN NE in Connecticut

    If you have DirecTV, and live in any of the towns in Connecticut listed below, please let me know whether or not you receive the Boston Celtics games on Comcast Sportsnet New England on channel 620. I am getting some conflicting information about whether or not I'd receive them in my town...

    Comcast Sportsnet New England HD going CONUS?

    I see that currently, CSN New England HD games are only carried on the Boston spotbeam, on channel 96 (or something like that). I have looked around here but not found any info as far as if or when CSN New England HD will go CONUS on the new bird, thus being available to subscribers in...

    Any word on mirroring 119 HD channels on new sat?

    I'm a happy Comcast cable subscriber, first of all. But, I cannot really give too much thought to DirecTV where I am, as 119 is too low in the sky, and is at the top of some distant trees from me, so in the spring and summer the signal changes from 80s with no wind, to near 0 when the wind...

    Question about my upcoming professional installation

    This time around, I've scheduled for a pro to come out and do everything (mostly about pointing the dish), instead of myself. Here's one question I have about it though. I know that DirecTV says that a phone line is supposed to be connected to all receivers for PPV. In my previous install...

    Coolsat 8000

    Iceberg, this is slightly off-topic, but related to my possible decision to purchase the 8000HD. I have a few questions: Woudl I be capable of picking up satellites you mentioned (like AMC3) using an old round 18" DirecTV dish nd existing DirecTV LNB? You also mention that you're using a...

    Weird happenings after thunderstorm

    So we had a thunderstorm this afternoon. It was a pretty nasty one, got very dark out, and I lost my satellite signal as expected. So I turned off all my equipment as I always do during storms. The storm has since passed over an hour ago, and it's cleared up. Now I get zero signal from 101...

    Where does an installer draw the line?

    I had installed my own AT9 dish over the weekend and get signal around 80'ish on 101, 110, and near 100 on 99 and 103. However, 119 peaks out at 55. I had a tech come out yesterday (while I was at work, my sister was at the house) and he left my house telling her that he couldn't get any...

    HD significantly viewed locals?

    In my area (West-Central Connecticut) DirecTV has made 3 of the 4 major networks (I think FOX, NBC, and CBS) available as "significantly viewed locals" or "neighboring locals". From what I understand, they are only available in SD. Does anyone know if DirecTV has any plans of making the HD...

    How difficult is the AT9 dish to point?

    So, how many people here have installed their own AT9 dish and pointed it successfully? What was your experience? How long did it take? How much more difficult is it to point when compared to the Phase III dishes? Thanks guys.

    Can I take advantage of DirecTV promotions if I used to subscribe?

    I had DirecTV a few years ago, and then cancelled my service. A few years later now, I was trying to sign up for their current promotion on directv.com, and it told me (after the credit check) that I have had DirecTV service in the past, and for me to call customer service to reactivate my...
