Today is actually the fastest I've had satguys run for me. Normally I hang at ad.satelliteguys.us for a few seconds

Thanks for the reply Optimus.. My cable co isn't very helpful, basically their opinion is that we're stuck with them and have to put up with their BS. I've had them out here a couple of times, all I want them to do it drop a new line to my apartment.. I get every excuse in the book. There...

That's interesting.. I would guess every non-live broadcast has to use some medium to broadcast from. I always assumed it was regular old VCR tapes. I'm surprised they don't use pretty grade electronics though

I don't have an experience with XM. But I've use an FM transmitter for my CD changer which is mounted in my trunk. I haven't had any problems with it at all.. I also live in a rural area where the frequency isn't occupied. I think it's 93.1 or something like that. I would imagine if your in...

Digital Signal-Color Problems Hey Guys, I've had the digital set-top boxes for a few weeks now. I have to say the image is crystal clear on most channels. Except for the lower channels 2-6 always have interference. I suspect it's the line coming into our apartment which looks old and it is...

Good to see VoIP moving up, with more and more users I'm sure the technology will improve over time. One thing I've noticed is the cable companies prices for VoIP are higher than the independent providers. For instance, I have vonage for $25/mo and TWC wants $40/mo. Why are the cable...

Thank you, I'm just wondering how this is going to work and if it's going to be as clunky on the first run as the 8000 was as TW's first DVR

I had the 8300SD DVR from TW... It was a piece of junk I had it less than a day it kept on rebooting. TWC offered to swap it for another, I said I'll save some $ and just get the regular box. I have 3 3250's in my house and they work like a charm. Altho I think one is on the fritz (making weird...

Gmail doesn't filer my notifactions as spam. Are you using filters on Gmail?

Thanks for the replies guys, I understand how FTA works better. :)

That should make it network compatable.. Most people who have sats are pretty tech savvy I would say, probably have a net connection. Just pop an ethernet cable in the back and it could log on it it's own server.

I know were talking about non-hacking threads here. I don't even have sateliite was getting dish but that never worked out. I have to say on behalf of the "bird stupid" I came to these boards because I was going to have dish and I wanted to read more about how it worked, opinions etc. Now that...

Kind of off topic... My question is why do Cable and Satellite companys supply you with buggy equipment that doesn't work as advertised? Just decided to get Digital cable through TW and the DVR that was supplied kept rebooting. I wound up switching it for a regular box. My thing is: These...

I guess if you figured a typical install of 2 TV's takes roughly 2 hours. You're making $25-$30 an hour that is pretty decent pay for just starting out in any field.

I was just poking around Scientific Atlanta's Website. I found the multi-room 8300 DVR You can see it here: http://www.scientificatlanta.com/consumers_new/CableBoxes/8300mr.htm It seem to be similar to the Dish's dual tuner setups only with support for more televisions. I wouldn't mind...

Ken, I also had the 8000 (SD) about a year or so ago. It seemed more stable than the 8300. Although it was a lot slower (channel changing, menus etc). Did you request this upgrade from TW, or did your old box fry and they gave you this one?. If you go to your local office and request an...

I've had my SD 8300 DVR for less than 12 hours and it's already froze and rebooted twice on me :(

I just got my 8300 today, and tested it for you. If I press and hold the page buttons it's scrolls at the same speed no matter how long I hold it. Once I release it and press the same page button it just goes to the next page. Hope that hopes. Do you have any problem while channel surfing...

:eek: How did you get that so cheap from TW? I just signed up for the digital cable package with roadrunner. Right now we have all the premiums but we're going to change that. I only have the one digital box that came with the plan and an additional DVR. No HD, no premiums on demand.. We're...

I'm going to call the cable company tomorrow to see if I can get the price down a bit. I really don't need all the premiums. The only thing I really watch is Sopranos on HBO which isn't that big of a deal for me. Since I last had Digital cable (May 2004) they've added a lot of stuff. They have...

We called cancelled, it's not worth the aggravation. We got a package from the cable company for Road Runner digital cable, DVR, 4 Premiums for 141/mo. Tomorrow I'm going to call and try to knock down the the price by taking off the preminums. Going to cancel DSL to, just not fast enough for...

Episode # 2: The installer actually shows up today. That's a plus. I was throughly impressed with the guy though. He cannot be much older than me (21) He walked me through the whole job, explained everything. When he seen I had run my own wires for cable, he explained why he was replacing one...

One thing I have to say about cable companies. In my experence with Time Warner in New York they always come on time. Unlike my experience with Dish.

I'm not pissed at the installer himself, although a phone call would have been nice. I'm sure with the way dish gives out installs they probably over book the installer. I used to work for a large DJ service where I used to set up a system before the DJ would proform. My boss would book me to...

Don't even have the service yet and already disatisfied. Installer never showed today. Called customer service, they couldn't get a hold of the dispatch office yadda yadda. CSR tried telling they can show up until 9 PM (what idiot is going to climb a ladder in the dark) wound leaving today's...
