    Quick Question about USA Network

    Soon I will leave cable tv behind and finally get a Dish. My specific question, so I know what to expect from Dish, is about the USA Network channel. It has Monk, The Dead Zone, and The 4400. I have yet to be able to watch a full episode of anything on that channel. Every 4 to 6 minutes...

    A Golden Oppertunity, or from Bad to Worse?

    Yeah, I think it might have to do with my wife telling her not to cuss outside of our apartment the other day.

    A Golden Oppertunity, or from Bad to Worse?

    Muah ha ha ha. ^_^ I went in there with a positive attitude. I started off with a cheerfull "I just saw my neighbor getting the Dish installed on his chimney, and wanted to let you all know that I talked to the installer and set a date for my install. It will be next month." It was...

    A Golden Oppertunity, or from Bad to Worse?

    Guess what. After I read this, I looked outside. There is a DirecTV guy up on my neighbor's roof. If I’m not mistaken one of the office staff lives in it. He's installing a dish on the roof. Just about everyone here who has the dish has them mounted on the chimney. One guy has a dish on...

    Opinions: Anyone used this device?

    I got to play with one at Frys last year, and the air that came out of it was ice cold! I'll probably wind up buying one next month, that is, if we are still living in this apartment. I should point out that I have forgotten the make and model of the one at Frys, and it might not have been...

    Testing Wal-Mart Service Center Staff - Long

    My bad! I forgot to mention that he was using "baby-speak" as he was chiding me. He was also waving the DVDs over his head as if he was playing keep-away! :eek: In hindsight, I think that he was probably mentally ill or retarded... You are right; next time I'm ill, I'm staying...

    A Golden Oppertunity, or from Bad to Worse?

    When I first moved into my Apartment, I asked about getting a Dish installed on my chimney, and was given the A-OK. I paid the deposit, purchased renter’s insurance, and had the permission paper signed. The day before my install, I was greeted with a poorly-written flyer on my door. It...

    Testing Wal-Mart Service Center Staff - Long

    That story rings oh so true to me, as I also dislike the customer service at my local Walmart. I had the Flu, but that did not detour me from driving down to my local wallmart to pick up the latest Uncut 2-DVD release of DBGT. Since they had them behind plexiglass, I flagged down of of the...

    Watch HDTV on PC via 1394 Firewire

    I'm looking for a way to watch HDTV on my PC using my cable box's firewire port. The software I currently have only lets me capture the .ts stream. Sure, I can watch the .ts stream after it is captured, but I'd really love to watch it live on my PC. I have the Motorola DCT6200/1000 box...

    dish 500 and SA Tivo

    As I understand it, TiVos have 2 tuners and require 2 cables. You may need to replace your 4-output ** with a 5 or 8 output **. That is all I know about TiVos, and by not owning one yet, all i can say about em. For all that I know there are versions of TiVos with ony one tuner. XD If...

    Winegard 76cm Dish, Dual LNB, DirecTV, 5 Receivers

    I figured as much and already have the $ set aside for 5 DirecTV Recievers. ;) 1 for each TV (3) and 1 for each VCR (2). The reason why I'm wanting to get the Wineguard (76cm) Dish is because we get rain here frequently, almost year round, and I'd rather be safe than sorry. I've been...

    Winegard 76cm Dish, Dual LNB, DirecTV, 5 Receivers

    I'm currently looking into getting DirecTV and I would like to hook it up to 3 TVs and 2 VCRs. I live in Houston, Texas and have an almost totally unobstructed view of the southern sky on my 2'nd floor balcony. If I had to point the dish at the horizon itself (which I doubt) that is also...
