    YES hd

    We'll see if "721/not authorized" happens again when Yankees Magazine and Yankees on Deck comes on in about an hour. Supposedly, this is happening on local NY programming only. My buddy called up and was told they're having problems with authorization on some HD programming, so only time will...

    YES hd

    My friend had the same problem in NYC. I'm guessing D* needs to authorize the "NY" area for in market Yankee programming again. He had ext. 721, then Mike and The Mad Dog was in the clear. He was getting 622 in SD, so it's definitely a D* thing.

    Installing on the ground...

    I installed my dish on the ground. Went to Home Depot, got a nice sized brick, drilled holes through the top, and bolted the footing of the dish through the brick. Works like a charm. I also tried the indoor window installation and the only thing I could pull in were the spotbeams. If...

    The TITANIUM™ Package

    Here ya go....it's official! Holy sh*t! $7500 is the price of this thing: http://titanium.directv.com/ This is too funny! I called customer retention a few months ago to get $20 off the TC Premier package promo and I asked if they had a plan that included everything. The rep said they had...

    Keep an eye on your Dish bill.

    I installed another Dish 500 to pick up 129 and they charged me a 99.95 upgrade fee. Took almost three weeks to get it taken off.

    Those numbers don't seem like much, or is a 4dB gain a lot?

    Dish gain

    I've got a 1.2 meter dish that's still in the box. Thought I was gonna make Hawaii my home, but got island fever! Do you know what the gain on the 1.2 meter is, and is it significant compared to the 90 cm?

    Separate dish for Ka 103?

    Got the H20, just need the dish now. Thanks for the info on the Zinwell product. I've been reading about a new slimline dish coming out though. I might wait for that one.

    Separate dish for Ka 103?

    Does D*upgrade for free or do I have to buy it from a dealer? Is there a multiswitch available for the AT9? The last thing I want to do is get into some other contract with them for a dish. Thanks!

    Separate dish for Ka 103?

    Is it possible to set up a side dish to pick up D* HD locals on 103? Can I use a standard 18" dish? Where can I find a Ka lnbf? Thanks!

    Uplink activity for the week of April 19th 2006

    Just curious, but is this the same On Demand that cable has, meaning are there any chances of Dish getting Howard TV/Howard Stern on Demand?

    Scamed by a GE extended warranty.

    I've bought EWs on a couple items from Good Guys. Now that they're gone and GE is handling things, I've just about wrote off any thought that the items that were covered will ever be repaired or replaced. It's like I never bought warranties in the first place and wasted hundreds of dollars.

    Anyone else fighting with D* over STO

    Trainnut, Be careful about the MLBEI package. If you're in the Indians home territory you will probably be blacked out on MLBEI. I used to live in Las Vegas, and apparently the Giants and A's are being blacked out because D* isn't carrying them this season because of contractual reasons. So...

    HEARTS Program

    I've had to call in a few times lately and I've inquired about the hearts program, to which the CSR responds, "I don't know what you're talking about." Each time I've called in though, the automated system and any live CSR always says "You've been recognized as one of our best customers."...
