    Difficult installation on cookie cutter suburban home

    This comes after two fruitless installer visits that were both late and told me what I already knew being an avid reader of D* forums. Had they called the night before it would have saved time. First pic is my fascia board. The DirectSat Installer said the location is okay but fascia board is...

    Changing Programming via Internet

    Is there a limit or will D* get nasty if you frequently change your programming so you can watch whatever you want? i.e. HBO to get Entourage then switch to STARZ for a couple good movies on Friday then back to HBO on Sunday for Entourage again? The change is so fast it would be easy but I...

    Can I use round dish with HD until new one for HD comes? I saw a similar thread somewhere but can't find it amongst the various DBS communities. Please advise. Can I hook up my new HD DVR 250 in place of my SD unit even though I have the standard round dish. Will it work at least for SD...

    Last minute push from D*?

    I have D* and signed up online to get emailed any offers. Got an email today offering free 4 room system PLUS upgrade one room to HD for $299. I plan on waiting to go HD in August, but does this sound like a last minute push at current pricing before the rumored August changes? Forgive me if...

    How many lines run to HDDVR with no OTA

    I am interested in the HD upgrade, but I cannot drill through any walls to run new cable. My built in media center isn't near an outswide wall. I already have two lines running to my D* SD tivo. Will they only need those two lines? We get no OTA up here in Valoencia, CA so I wouldn't be...
