    New DTV Subscriber Install Question

    Down the door is partially right. The pole is included but only trenching and cabling up to 6ft from the house (where ever they have to connect into the home). After that it is whatever the going rate is for RG6.

    DISH Network Reports Fourth Quarter and Year End 2010 Financial Results

    What is going on at Dish? I saw that in the indirect sales area (ie not sold directly by dish) they are back in Costco. Directv must have not performed as well as they would have liked.

    Verizon Wireless customers with corporate discount plan.

    It was the same thing with me. I was a D* contractor (not anymore) but I still get the benefits. The one thing I really like is the fact that the Bose audio that they carry is also discounted 25%. Typically Bose is never ever discounted (that includes Amazon).

    Verizon Wireless customers with corporate discount plan.

    Big Dawg, I had the same thing on my additional line and they finally figured it out. But I still don't mind getting at 25% on accessories like Bose audio when no body (and I mean no body, ie Amazon) discount Bose. I got head phones at a good discount.

    Verizon Wireless customers with corporate discount plan.

    I found that out too. But for hardware I think that is to be expected. On accessories since I want a Bose sound dock it is a good deal since I hate paying full retail.

    Iphone to other carries, even regionals.

    I haven't heard that since Apple would ask for quite a lot and larger carriers means more dollars but I wouldn't doubt it long term. I doubt the dualopy of ATT/Verizon will last for than 2-3 years at most.

    Verizon Wireless customers with corporate discount plan.

    I wanted to make the Satelliteguys nation aware of something to help them save money on wireless accessories. I have a discount through my company where Verizon Wireless gives me 25% discounts on ALL accessories. The reason that this is significant is I was looking at a Bose sound dock for my...

    Last DirecTV price increase

    JD is correct. I was a contractor for D* and it was every year a $2-3 increase. I agree prices are getting out of hand but D* is a for profit business and every channel they carry also has an associated cost. It is a tough situation for all.

    iOS 4.3 soon to be released

    Scott I agree. I will probably get the Motorola Bionic or HTC Thunderbolt since I want an LTE compatible phone. I doubt Iphone 5 will support LTE so customers who want an Iphone will have to wait until 2012.

    Need advice on new smart phone - verizon wireless

    I had a feeling about that Mike. I would doubt the Iphone 5 will alleviate the issue to be honest. O well. I will wait for an Iphone or probably stick with the Droid platform.

    Need advice on new smart phone - verizon wireless

    Don, I agree. With Android you get more flexibility for handsets especially since I am want an LTE compatible phone (both the Bionic and Thunderbolt are coming out relatively soon).

    Need advice on new smart phone - verizon wireless

    I agree it would not be in character for Apple to do. But I know there will be customers who want to wait and see what the Iphone 5 brings before jumping to Verizon (I have Verizon but I want to hedge my bet just in case).

    Need advice on new smart phone - verizon wireless

    As I understand it Dodgerking it is a faster version of HSPA but the phone would need to have a HSPA+ radio (hardware antenna) to work with that network.

    Need advice on new smart phone - verizon wireless

    Same issue. The phone would have to be capable of that technology via hardware not software. I think AT&T will wait until both networks are LTE capable (for AT&T it will be 18 month or longer, Verizon much sooner).

    Need advice on new smart phone - verizon wireless

    I agree with you Rockymtnhigh. I will get either the Bionic or Thunderbolt.

    Need advice on new smart phone - verizon wireless

    LTE is more a hardware thing not software. So none of the current line up will work. I think I am waiting on the Bionic or Thunderbolt unless Apple gives us a pleasant suprise in June.

    Need advice on new smart phone - verizon wireless

    Reading between the lines on Iphone 5 I doubt that the Iphone 5 is going to be LTE. So I am going to look at the Bionic and Thunderbolt more heavily. I might wait until June to see what Apple says but I doubt we will see an LTE Iphone because Apple wants to make a device that works on both...

    Need advice on new smart phone - verizon wireless

    The Thunderbolt and Bionic will be available for around 6-12 month time frame but I could wait forever and I think the Bionic and Thunderbolt would work best (I have a Droid 2 for work and it works great right now).

    Need advice on new smart phone - verizon wireless

    I have a question for the community. I have an upgrade for my primary verizon wireless line and now I have a bevy of choices. Here is my problem. The Iphone 4 is now available but Verizon is rolling out LTE in my area (this year sometime). I might wait for the HTC thunderbolt or Motorola Bionic...

    NBC On Demand

    I bet this is sign of things to come for VOD services from cable and satellite. Advertising along with sub fees are the two ways that the content owners make money and if the content providers want access to that content they have to pay by the content owners rules which is probably the case here.

    The time has arrived, R.I.P Directv

    I am such an HD snob I can't justify the local cable co because of quality. I see the Comcast HD feed weekly and it is crappier than Directv. Directv's is not perfect but noticably better than Comcast plus I have 4 HD-DVRs and with the HD-DVRs fees under Comcast plus the programming I would...

    question about paying past due bill

    I would say look at your credit score and any other outstanding red flags on your credit. Based on experience Directv is less forgiving in regards to credit. Dish I heard is not as hard on credit scoring.

    New Directv Tivo coming soon?

    I would agree Stone Cold, no MRV = no Tivo.

    D* Premium Package

    Premier does not include HD or DVR service. You can see if Directv will get you free HD (you have to be paperless with autopay to get HD access for free). Choice Ultimate includes the encore channels, and the movie channels (east and west) which Choice and Choice Xtra do not. Choice Ultimate...

    Sunday Ticket Guide Issue

    I would setup timers for the NFL Sunday Ticket games (basically setup what time and which channel you want recorded) and record undercover boss as you normally would.
