    AT&T picks DirecTV for their DBS partner starting 2/1/2009

    Currently have the Bell South Bundle -- local service with unlimited long distance. No DSL -- the bundle discount which appears on the D* bill is $10 per month. The accounts are not linked and if I have an issue with D* I call D* and not ATT. Hope it stays the same...

    Protection plan needed?

    Being leased your covered for the receiver only. It will be a self install as Directv will ship a new receiver to you and charge a $10 shipping charge. They will give you a prepaid shipper to return the old unit within 7 days (otherwise you will be charged for the receiver). Protection...

    Why doesnt Directv have CNNI or BBC World?

    Because Richard Quest is Obnocious.... Or more likely Time Warner wants too much for the feed or does not want to provide it. I am watching it now in Dubai.:D :D

    Take Dish's and CM 4228 down for hurricane?

    Ernesto definately a DUD.. Little wind and no real rain -- so far. I would not worry, you will do more harm pulling it down. My Phase III dish survived Wilma, Frances and Jeanne and the eye passed over us on all three. Did not even require realignement. However my screened porch cannot...

    DirecTV's Lease sucks for HD TIVO owners

    Did your last letter get any reply other than " we have received your complaint and have forwarded it to Directv for a reply." That's what my letter's response was from the State's Attorney General Ofiice.

    RG-6 Connectors

    I have that tool and it is cheap and does the job. I would not use it for a 100 connections a day, but for a DIY installation it works fine.

    Some Thoughts About The Future

    Your first premise is 100% wrong. DTV just sold it's remaining interest in HNS to SkyTerra. DTV no longer has any part of HNS. When GM spun off DTV there was never any interest by old Ruppert in the data side of Hughes Communications. The satellite business was sold off to Boeing by GM and...

    AT9 Dish on ebay about $75.00

    :up :up :up 100% agree. I don't want any DTV installer mucking with my installation. Having realigned a dozen of screwed up installations -- poorly done and poorly located, I have little faith. My AT9 is installed and waiting til they light up the West Palm area in April.

    Directv Going To Lease Only On 3/1/06

    It is simple -- they are doing it for tax reasons. They own and they can depreciate it and still charge you for upgrades. Eventually they will have to replace every unit when they fully switch to MPEG 4 so everyone will be leasing. By owning the units also they can control pirating better..

    5 LNB Dish Mounting Question

    Have mine installed on the side of the house next to my phase III. Only issue is the weight, but a pair of monopole struts adds some support. Live in Florida, and antennas are attached to a concrete block structure with Tapcon concrete fasteners. The Phase III survived Frances, Jeanne, Ivan...
