    Online map to help position dish?

    I just moved, have DirecTV scheduled to come out tomorrow to install, and I'm very unsure that I've got line of sight to the satellites. Is there any sort of online map, like Google or mapquest, where you can put in your address and it'll show you a line of where the dish will approx be...

    2004 Olympics

    The 2004 Olympics will be shown on the digital NBC OTA channel 24-hours a day in HD, on an 8-hour loop, but it will be delayed about a day. I think lets say Saturday's Olympic action will be shown on regular NBC starting at like 11pm or 1am that night/Sunday morning live, then most of the...

    What retailers carry Winegard SquareShooter?

    my problem is ive got 2 tower locations that I am trying to "see" with my antenna, and one of them cuts at an angle back through my apt building, the other is fine. So i can move the antenna around and get one or the other perfectly, but usually not both at the same time, especially at night...

    What retailers carry Winegard SquareShooter?

    Just wondering what retail stores carry the Winegard SS-1000. I want to buy it from a store so that if it doesn't improve my signal, I can return it easily. Didn't see it on RadioShack's website... Any suggestions of major retailers (Sears, CC, BB, etc)? Thanks!

    ESPN-HD: SportsCenter in HD tonight at 11:pm EST

    They'll do their first HD broadcast with this year's Baseball All-Star game, and then I know the NFL next season, and hopefully some of the MLB playoffs, I assume they have the rights to the world series again this year.

    ESPN-HD: SportsCenter in HD tonight at 11:pm EST

    DBENE, you must be very lucky, cuz no one else in the world can get Fox in HD yet... So unless you're last name is Murdoch, its not HD you're watching... Yes, how can ESPN not be able to show the NBA Finals replay in HD? Lame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Weird OTA signal strength issues...

    I live in an apartment complex, with my DTV satellite out on the balcony and the Terk TV44 clip-on. I know I know, but its done pretty well for me, considering I can't put up anything else. Anyways, I'm switching around channels today and my local digital channels are pretty blocky, audio goes...

    Sportscenter HD, starting 6/1?

    So does this mean that ESPN highlights of games that are broadcast in HD, such as Cubs games, or Padres, or the other teams with HD networks in their area, will be shown in HD? I would hope that they'll try and take the HD feed from whatever game they are showing highlights from whenever...

    Has anyone gotten out of D* contract without paying E.T. fee?

    Well they were also "supposed" to come out last September, then in November, then April, so I'm not holding my breath. But still, do you think this could be something I could bring up with them to get out of the contract?

    Has anyone gotten out of D* contract without paying E.T. fee?

    I really want to get out of DirecTV and switch to Voom to try it out, since Voom has now all the channels I'd want, espcially now that they've added ESPN and Fox News. Problem is I'm still in my original 1-year agreement from last summer (ordered through an online retailer with their own 1-year...
