I just signed up with TWC. I'll be saving approx $50/month vs. Directv/HTC internet (local cable/DSL provider). I've been with D* for 6 years this April but they have priced themselves out of the market here. This was the first year I went without Sunday Ticket as the yearly price increase has...

What's the best way to do this without having to buy D* expensive wireless card?

Yes, but I got SF for free due to a D* screw up (their fault) with another situation. I am an Eagles fan and, obviously being in SC I'm out of market, it's the only way I can watch them. I have to say, I DO NOT like the fact that the price keeps increasing. I expect it will be over $250 this...

Thanks for the info, guys. Much appreciated. I will be printing out the FCC guidelines and sending it to the HOA. A little more background info: I specifically called and asked the builder, who still own/ran the community, on the day of the install about this when I had it installed because the...

Since I live in a community that decided they wanted to have an HOA, I now have to move the dish from the side of the house to the rear after 4.5 years in the current location. Can anyone tell me what exactly would be involved in moving it? I would like to just be able to maybe lengthen the wire...

Would this work as well: Amazon.com: Belkin F5D7330 802.11g Wireless Ethernet/Gaming Adapter: Electronics It appears to be plug n play.

BB is also good for open box deals on occasion. I saved $100 on a SD DVR a few years back this way.

Mine is doing it now for the second time today. Why would it do it twice?

YEAH BABY! Myrtle Beach-Florence SC is ON! FINALLY!

^Waiting patiently (Myrtle Beach). Question: When you call and speak to a CSR, do they actually know when a certain market will be added or when they say "I don't know" is that just a deflection? I mention this because I called tonight and asked (other issues, too) and got the "I don't know".

^Agree. I got a free HD-DVR last year when they were still $399, $10 off per month, and free Superfan. Great deal, I think, but I've been with D* for 4.5 years at this point. Just got Superfan for free last week due to a billing error. Didn't even ask, they just gave it to me.

I called tonight to ask a couple of unrelated questions but asked about any current specials and was told there are none. However, I've gotten some free crap lately like Superfan so the above posters statements may explain that.

You know, I come to this thread to see if there are any new HD local announcements and what do I find? A bunch of freaking anti-D* nonsense. Seriously, "Questioner" with no answers, shut the heck up. Another perfectly good thread ruined by a bunch of freaking nonsense that is completely off topic.

This DOES reflect on D*. Whether you like it or not, it does. They are representing the company so in the end, D* will be held responsible. When I make a service call, I'm calling D* not the local contractor so since D* is sending the person out, it falls on their shoulders. The folks on this...

Thanks. Appreciate the help.

Yes, they were never there when I bought but have appeared over time. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the projection apparatus, like dust on the mirror or something of that nature.

I have a JVC HD-56G787 56" DLP. There are "blotches" or "smudges" on the screen that seem to be getting more plentiful. They are on the screen itself and not the result of bad reception. I've cleaned it numerous times with a non-ammonia based window cleaner and it doesn't seem to get any better...

Yup, there it is, plain as day "...won't cost HD subscribers an extra dime". Very misleading. Of course, when you think about it, they aren't lying. It doesn't cost AN extra dime, it costs 50 of them. Ah, I'm not going to sweat an extra $5 a month when I got a $399 HD-DVR for free. Of course, I...

Of course I would be because I've seen folks time after time on this very forum get the exact same deal that I got, albeit with less headaches. Considering the morons they've been sending out, my negativity is most certainly warranted. BTW, your wire routing is incorrect. There is no...

When the job is done right, they are. But I forgot. Apparently, installers are flawless God's who should be treated as royalty. Sorry, but there are just as many fools among them as there are in other professions.

I had my HR20 installed last week on a 6-8am appt on a Wednesday. Dude didn't show up until 8:30 though which is typical of every D* installer that's ever been to my house (aka, NEVER on time).

Pulled the old "What can you do to keep me as a customer" routine and had a new HR20-100 installed along with free Superfan (already had the non-DVR receiver). This was installed 1.5 weeks ago. The week before the install, I call CS for an explanation as to why I'm not getting the new HD...

This is good news. I also hope we're talking about good picture quality and not 1 tiny step above SD. I've been loyal to D* for a few years now and I've been patiently waiting for this so I can't wait to see it come to fruition.

Well that's a bunch of crap (for me). I just called not 20 minutes ago to ask about this and was told how great a customer I am, in good standing, blah blah blah, and they offer me the HR20 for $199, saying that's $100 of the usual price and nothing else. Yeah, that's nonsense. I mean, I order...

I agree. I care more about sports in HD than I do HD-DVD/BluRay. My standard def discs look great on my upconverting DVD player and 56" HDILA. Of course, I don't watch all that many movies at home so it really is quite subjective. Yes, it is VERY much like the VHS vs. Beta "war". I see no...
