    Flat Cables

    The last I found was on e-bay. Though I only needed about 5, several suppliers that provide in bulk have a presence there.

    Dish-landlord-legal questions

    Except he said the landlord did sign the consent forms. If these are anything like I've signed in the past (I'm an evil landlord too), I suspect these forms essentially sign away the dish and cabling to the landlord, and release the satellite company from any responsibility. Unless the...

    Charter operating with no franchise agreement

    Here's an interesting story that made the front page of Sunday's Greenville News about Charter selling cable without a franchise agreement in place to do so (it expired). GreenvilleOnline.com -Local News-Charter sells cable without franchise agreement - (12/9/2007)

    DISH Network Leads Pay TV Industry in Customer Satisfaction Index

    I guess Geronimo's post explains it all for me. I am EXTREMELY happy with Dish (and DirecTV -- yes, I have both) because I do my own installation. Like Geronimo says, I am not too pleased with the channel disputes that Dish often has (like that going on with MLB EI). However, I figure...

    Moving from DirectTV to Charter

    Well...here I am a year later, after going to Charter. My experience??? Well...I've already placed the order with Bellsouth/ATT to switch me back. I couldn't wait to ditch the TV service, so I have already reinitiated my DirecTV subscription. Once Charter got my Moxi DVR in here, and added...

    Charter Self-Install ?

    LOL...I know how to do just about everything that the Charter installers do, and really don't like other people messing around with my equipment. Other than my HD receiver box (which was an even swap), I've never been lucky enough to have them offer to let me install my own equipment. Heck, I...

    CBS Just Showed UP

    Just a thought, but I read somewhere (maybe on this board) that Dish was mapping the NPS channels to the old East/West channel numbers. I wonder if what you guys are seeing could be an anomoly related to that.

    DTV's Credit check

    Just speculating here as well also, but they may be looking for alias names and previous addresses to help curb fraud.

    I don't want the locals, I want the NYC channels!

    Personally, I would go with one of the international packages, such as Dish Network's Itallian package which has Euronews. I'm not sure what all DirecTV offers. Alternatively, there are grey dish options that (as of present) are legal. I know some people on this board have discussed...

    HD In Greenville, South Carolina

    I'm sorry if I'm bitter toward Charter, but I feel as though Charter has screwed their customers many times since they started in this market. I don't want to get started on this soapbox, however, because I have had several experiences myself with Charter (including incorrect billing and...

    HD In Greenville, South Carolina

    For the next 3 months, I'm double paying for DirecTV and Charter, before I move back to DirecTV/Bellsouth in the Greenville area. My wife and daughter hate the phone and (analog) tv service. The Moxi has problems. My gripe is that the Internet service appears to be slower for the same speed...

    What states ban adult channels from being broadcast?

    I know that everything is available in S.C. and Georgia. N.C. has restrictions on certain channels -- even in metro areas such as Charlotte.

    Dish Network: Distant Networks

    I have subscribed to DNS through both DISH and DirecTV in the past, and they were actually easier to get through DirecTV than with DISH. In fact, it took months for me to be able to acquire the necessary waivers from the local broadcasters because DISH's computer said I "should be able" to pick...

    Dish Network: Distant Networks

    Until recently (within the past couple of days), I was given access to the options to add DNS when going to the "add local channels" section of Dish's website. I suspect that I may have been one of the last customers to have access to this since I have waivers and have had DNS for almost 10...

    HD In Greenville, South Carolina

    Also, if your buddy subscribes to a premium movie package (ex HBO, Cinemax), the HD version of the package comes with the HD package. (I don't subscribe to the movie channels, so I forgot about this).

    HD In Greenville, South Carolina

    The HD box is an additional $3 on top of what they charge for the regular digital box (which is something like $6/mo). Just take the current box to the office off I385 in Simpsonville & they will give some contract papers to fill out & hand out the new box. Currently, we get WYFF (NBC), WSPA...

    Dish Network: Distant Networks

    Replying to long_time_DNC's question above -- isn't that covered under fair use? I would like to know since I have found myself in that situation numerous times.

    NFL Network

    Good luck. Charter (and probably most of the other cable companies) appear to be taking the position that since only a "small number" of NFL games will be televised on NFL Network, the customers really won't be missing out on much. However, I also believe NFL Network could be making a...

    FTA reception of BEV music channels

    I'll have to try to see if there's anything there I don't already get (I am a DirecTV, Dish, XM, Sirius, and CATV subscriber...so I get just about every channel out there. It's just that...I seem to have this fascination with OTA broadcasts. I like hearing the jocks, jingles, and...

    FTA reception of BEV music channels

    No..no...please understand everyone...I am very much opposed to the illegal form of "hacking" in any form or fashion, and do not wish to do anything wrong. That's why I posted to "THIS" board, and not one of the other "FTA" boards. I knew you guys would give me a straight answer. I apologize...

    FTA reception of BEV music channels

    That's what I wanted to know. Like I said, I bought this thing for WCPE anyway -- I just could not resist seeing what else was out there.

    FTA reception of BEV music channels

    That's what I thought. How about the software updates on Fortec's website? Are they legit?

    FTA reception of BEV music channels

    I've got a quick question that I am certain many of you are able to quickly answer. Out of curiosity, I purchased a new Fortec Star Lifetime Classic NA receiver (new) so I could listen to the FTA feed of WCPE (I find classical music is excellent background music when trying to write)...
