    Accused of stealing credit card

    You absolutely did the right thing not giving out any information at all. Just someone phishing via phone, hoping you'll panic and share useful info and then they can magically confirm what they were calling about with the info they just recieved, from you!!

    Splitter question

    Let's just say, misspelling's are extremely common within the specialized work program I get to use, with all stuff entered by the same people who do the website and etc. As to the splitter itself, I was thinking to try it on what I have which is a DVR since my landlord was nice enough to let...

    Splitter question

    home depot splitter, same as sold in brick and mortar store I found this item while doing some vendor work in Home Depot, luckily they have it online to share easily. All I've read here on satelliteguys indicates this is about as good as a pet rock. Can anyone explain what this could be used...

    hartford/new haven now has neighboring locals

    I'm in Norwich (06360) and the directv page shows me as getting WJAR 10 & WPRI 12 - now I just have to get off the pc and see if that's on yet. * looked and they are there without having to do anything more than adding to the favorites list. I noticed 625 and 627 are running NY sports now...

    Knicks-Celtics on MSG Blacked Out???

    I live in 06360 zip code, and I get the New York sports channels - all my experiences until getting directv were getting the Boston market channels (ie cable) - I've noticed this year I can turn to FSNY and that game you mention was blocked out, but I could watch on FSNE and the 700's channel it...

    Experience with Samsung SD boxes?

    I have the SIR-S300W. It's been pretty good I think. Have had it for just over a year (the free unit w/install); the only problems I've had *crossing fingers, knocking on wood* have been - for some reason the caller-id didn't function for a week or two, and after an update a few months ago it...

    Missing first anniversary gift

    The slip of paper in the one I got said it was for my one year anniversary of having directv. I would also like to second the statement about showtime mostly sucking, though I did finally see "The Core" today, and the repeated showings of "Busty Cops" lol.

    problem with freeze ups

    We have the 300W. I asked my wife the same thing when I was awakened nice n early the other morning. It did not go well :) . I didn't ask the other 2 times it's happened (so far), but the plug-pull and replulg seems to work so far.

    video freeze

    I don't have a solution, but I was about to post just about the exact same thing because I have the same model, the same problem, and same solution (so far). The last software update I got was 10/8, I wonder if that's causing some problem? Though I would think it's not that just because it's...

    DNS & Locals Question...

    According to D* website, I qualify for DNS Fox and apparently have Grade B moderate signals for the other networks. I currently have the local package (all the CT stations.) I'm wondering, if I were to call up and ask to have Fox DNS activated, does this cause my local CT station to be shut...

    ? about sports (NFL ) blackouts

    Thanks for the info slacker & ckurdna. I guess I just have to hope that 3 or 61 don't opt to show Giants or Jets over Pats (happens sometimes.) Another bowl wouldn't hurt that I suppose :) They never show preseason games though. I don't think that FSNE was showing it last night either, now that...

    ? about sports (NFL ) blackouts

    I was hoping to check out the Patriots preseason game last night but I got the screen saying about "programming not being eligible in your area"; well, it wasn't exactly those words (poor memory) but if you've seen it you know what I mean. I get it all the time when for example the Red Sox are...
