    Interesting. Is it possible that DSL will run faster if it uses a dedicated line? I have splitter on mine for the phone and DSL.

    Tripod for Direct TV Slimline Satellite

    Just cut a piece of 2 inch pole and slide it on top of 1.66 one then secure with self tapping screws. But this method is not recommended for Slimline. Technicians are not allowed to use tripods for this kind of installs.

    Can I ask some dumb questions?

    DirecTV has 15 million customers. With 3 receivers on average per account. Thats 45 million basic receivers and few million Dvrs and HD equipment. If Directv tomorrow offers everybody free upgrade to the very advanced expensive equipment it will probably cause a chaos. There will be 15 million...

    Scott's DirecTV Review (DirecTV -VS- Dish)

    Scott in original post was talking about both SD and HD and he specifically mentioned pixels and blocks on SD channels. As to switching from HD to SD I can tell you from personal experience a lot depends on TV brand and how much you paid for it. Cheap HDTVs have terrible SD picture, you...

    Scott's DirecTV Review (DirecTV -VS- Dish)

    OK here is my review DIrectv vs Dish vs Cable. In big cities cable is great and you cant install dishes on apartments. Thats an unbiased review. In small areas cable sux because there is no money to repair it. People love satellite in small remote locations. So we only can compare Directv to...

    Scott's DirecTV Review (DirecTV -VS- Dish)

    Very biased review the original post. Comment that sports channels are hidden away in the 600s channels sounds like somebody is complaining about nothing. How 600 is different from any other number? But I am really surprised with the following statement: "could see pixels and big blocks...

    HDTV/computer monitor

    Yeah thats why I am thinking if I buy that new HD TV I probably need to buy a new computer as you said with a good video card. I dont know much about those cards but I would guess any new top of the line computer would have a proper video card. I have a computer that is connected to a...

I can get up there and read all the information and then post it here. But I understand I will need a receiver, need to check and make sure LNB and...

    Anyone buy the protection plan?

    If my company installs it you covered for the first 60 or 90 days. So if the install was bad you will know right away and get a free service. If nothing happened and your set up is pretty simple (no advance equipment) then probably nothing is gonna happen and you dont need protection plan. If...

    Installer already running into problems...

    As I mentioned earlier you have to power up and walk through the menu in order to learn installation coordinates such as tilt, elevation and azimuth. For example people who do self-install or technician who is working in unfamiliar area.

    HD Signal Sound issues with HR20

    I had one receiver like that and it had problems with sound. It only happened during HD programs. Regardless of which channel. If HD channel like ABC had non-HD show then sound was just fine.

    Zinwell WB68 Multiswitch Problems

    R10 is an old slow TIVO that wont respond to changes unless you reset it for 5 minutes. If input 2 had no signal it will remember and show you zero signal even if you change bad cable or switch cables places.

    Is the HR20-700s that bad??? Please answer!!

    Can anybody clarify exactly is Directv Leasing or Selling those HR20 units? Very confusing because customers get absolutely mad when asked to sign a lease agreement yet DTV is supposedly leasing all new receivers. If its a lease what are the exact terms?

    DIRECTV: 100 HDTV Channels In 2007

    I remember Directv promised new HD DVR about 9-12 months before it actually happened. So I would say those 100 HD channels will come lets say first-second quarter of 2008. Or maybe at the end of 2007 right before christmas season. I definitely would strike some deals with HD TV sets...

    H20's to delete internal RF capability?

    Last H20 I tried to program for RF didnt do anything. I used antenna from another H20 receiver so antenna should be compatible. Menu had RF setup. But after I tried to program and followed all the steps remote didnt go to RF. In fact it just stopped working. I had to manually reset it back to...

    hdmi vs component resolutions

    Name brand and price should be two indicators enough to stay away from bad TVs. When I said 600 dollars here is your red flag. You know its not Sony or Toshiba.
