    Attn DirecTV: Yankees Fans in Upstate NY can not see some games

    My understanding is that the Sunday Twins games are on 29 in the metro and FSN outstate. According to the schedule page for the Twins on the MLB site, the outstate viewers would need to use an alternate challenge to watch the game on Sunday (6/14: 652 on DirecTV and 448 on Dish).

    One of the uses I have for Ion in my area is to test receiving equipment because of their transmitter's distance from my home.

    Backfeed TV2 and Get OTA through one cable?

    It's not hard - I do the same thing using a few lengths of RG6 and a couple 5-900 MHz splitters. My setup also feeds signal from the antenna directly into the TV, which has both analog and digital tuners. (The TV is set up to ignore the analog signals, and I know I will have to rescan after...

    Moving to a neighborhood that doesn't allow dishes

    And if they want to be difficult, maybe several 1-meter dishes, one for each orbital slot, will have them seeing the error of their ways.

    TurboHD w/ Comcast internet in an Apartment

    The condo I live in has dual wiring into my unit: one line from Comcast and one from Dish. As far as the Comcast line is concerned, i just have the internet plus the lowest tier of video they offer, which is a lower price than the internet with no video service, and this is not a promotional...

    Uplink Activity Report - 8/1/2008 4:02pm - 1 change

    How I would translate the message appearing on what is normally GolTV: "GolTV has removed this channel after proposing unreasonable contract renewal terms. We are working on a solution to the problem. 888-248-3065" This is what I am seeing on channel 407, which is currently showing what appears...

    Should I Keep Home Protection Plan?

    I live in a condo building, equipped with a Dish 1000 antenna and a Directv Slimline antenna as part of a home-run setup. IIRC, there's at least one that apparently has an employment connection to E*. The D1000 was there first. The Directv antenna was originally a single-LND unit, replaced a...

    Comcast HD

    Easiest way to make sure something is done to your liking is to do it yourself. Rather than have a tech come out to install the HD DVR, when I had Comcast, I simply went to their office, picked up the equipment, came home, installed it, and called in to activate it.

    HD OTA Indoor Antennae

    I have a Terk which picks up a digital station on physical channel 40 quite nicely from about 50 miles from the transmitter. It also helps that it is the same general direction of the transmitters for the Minneapolis stations.

    Comcastic prices

    Interesting. The TV package I had from Comcast would, under the 2008 pricing, be about $112 (including franchise fee but excluding sales tax), but would be about $80 on Dish. The Comcast video package: Standard cable ($54.99/mo including PEG fee), Digital Preferred ($15.99/mo), Sports...

    Is cancellation's normal?

    My installer kept in touch with me, which allowed me to take care of an errand while I was waiting, secure in the knowledge that he would not arrive before I got home. As it turned out, the customer before me had added additional rooms to the order; as a result, he was somewhat late. C'mon...
