    Hi everyone, I'm moving to Rogers Park in Chicago next week and I'm thinking about RCN for internet services and I'd like to also get an idea what their television services are like. If anyone has anything to share, please go ahead and post. Thanks. :)

    Some questions about DirecTV vs. DISH Network

    Questions about the concrete-filled bucket problem

    Right now, I'm looking for a place to live (hooray college living!) and while I did find a place that wouldn't require me to jump through many hoops to get my dish installed, I would need to mount it in a planter or some sort of concrete filled bucket if I wanted a non-ground level unit. Is...

    I'm wondering if theres a code for the Xbox DVD kit that is recognized by the Dish universal remote that comes with the DVR625. Does anyone know offhand what the code is if it exists?
