    I'm Leaving Directv!

    I do like internet tv. There are so many programs that are free. It must be hard for the satellite companies and cable companies to compete with it.

    I'm Leaving Directv!

    I did call back, and talked to a very nice lady that time. I think the first two agents were newbies. I guess I'll wait out my contract, but really don't watch enough tv to get my money's worth. I just hate that sometimes they tell you one thing, and then you call again and they tell you...

    I'm Leaving Directv!

    I just got off the phone with the customer service, and was treated very rudely by a supervisor. I have had service since 2010, and have had enough of their attitude. I had to wait on hold for over 30 minutes for the supervisor. The person couldn't even give me a straight answer about the...

    If you were buying a new receiver, what kind....?

    I don't have a way to change c/ku, because I don't have a receiver anymore. Are all free to air programs KU? If so, I would just need the KU feedhorn. If not, would I have to buy an older analog box. Can you still purchase older analog boxes? Is it not going to change from c to ku just by...

    If you were buying a new receiver, what kind....?

    Turbosat you have a pm. My dish does have c/ku. I assume the bolt just came out of the end of the actuator. I was moving it, and I moved it too far. I will try to get a picture of it on here in a few days. My dish looks a lot like MadMadWorld's avatar except mine is on a pole. Lizzie

    If you were buying a new receiver, what kind....?

    You all are so wonderful as I knew you would be. I guess I don't have to have a HD receiver, since there are not many channels in HD. As for channels I like old tv shows, classic movies, family shows, and news feeds and anything educational like PBS and NASA. I'm not into sports much...

    Just one more post before I go to bed. I just got off the phone with NPS. I wanted to see if it would take a hit for the guide and any channels. Here's what I found out: The analog side works okay even though some stations aren't tuning in due to that horizontal problem (like G5 5)...

    There is one wire that is bare without any colored plastic coming out of the other cable that is connected to +5v, pulse and gnd. I don't know what it is for, and didn't connect it to anything.

    No it is subscription. But I could watch Discovery on C4 21. That's why I asked is Discovery was having a free preview. I don't see anything labeled subscription code. There are 12 items when I press 9 1 1. It looks like all horizontals are having problems. At least all the ones I've...

    Something I noticed is that channels 112-117 and 133-143 on G1 are 68 signal and 42 quality with a DC light (cannot find channels continuing to search). Other channels such as 150-160 and other channels that are horizontal have no quality and no Dc light. This is with a rotated 90.

    Should I unplug my unit and start over as Al suggested? Evidently, something happened during the course of all this. When I first redid the wires and turned the unit on I only had about 10 sats showing on the programming guide. After a half hour or so all my sats showed up. Now my stats say...

    On G1 11 I have a very bad picture. It's not total snow. It kinda looks like a scrambled channel. It's strange that Shop comes in but others don't. My odd channels are having difficulties.
