    How much would you pay?

    As a Sunday ticket subscriber for 6 years I have put up with alot of crap with Directv and Sunday Ticket. It gets better with each passing year but still isn't heaven in a box. My most rescent issue would be with Blackouts and market shares. That's not why I really started this thread though...

    Question. Settle an argument.

    Saying that you cant use RG-59 for satellite viewing is like saying you cant hook up your speakers with lamp cord. If it carries an electric currant it will display a picture. Use a cut up extension cord if you want. My suggestion would be to go with the RG-6 if you are running new wire. If...

    D* in Hawaii

    Aloha Sorry to say that while I am a loyal directv fan and I think everyone should use them. I say you should stick with Dish. Directv doesn't even offer local channels in your area. Dish does have your locals though. If you are only in it for the HD programming try Voom and see what you...

    Question about Tivo

    You wont be able to split the Directv signal coming in. However you only need 2 cables still. You can use a diplexer to split your Directv signal and OTA. Basically you send your D* signal and OTA signal down the same line. Then when you power off your Tivo you will have a picture from your OTA...

    Anybody have one of these

    I found this site http://www.worldwidesatellites.com/ Just curious if anyone had these. If so is it real. Is it legal? Does it get both Dish and Directv at the same time? I always thought of a satellite signal as public information just like A radio station. SS

    Sunday Ticket Question

    Sunday Ticket Question

    This is complete bull****. When D* signed me back up fo ST they didn't say a change in rules will apply. They are screwing alot of people. I read that a customer was able to get a $1.50 credit on his bill. I plan on keeping track of everygame and demanding a credit in the full amount. For me...

    Well I guess I screwed up. I called and switched my address to an address which recieves Dallas Local Channels. The address was to my folks house. Everything went great for about 4 hours. All of the sudden I get a message that I need to call Directv for porgramming. (You know EXT. 721). After...

    Phase III transponder signal strength

    OK Now I can breath again as I have made progress in tracing this problem. I took the terk antenna off the dish and just for grins I replaced the dish with another I had never taken out of the box. This had a new dual LNB as well. First I ran off my new Dual LNB to the multiswitch. Still had...

    Trying to figure out what spot beam...

    I placed a call to a local installer. (Anonymously) He claimed that it wouldn't work because Directv can tell where the satellite is pointing. And where my feed is coming from. Is this true? Have other people gotten away with it? SS

    Phase III transponder signal strength

    Heres the thing. I have ran directly off the dual LNB on my dish and there is no trouble. However this is only true if running both to a single rieceiver. I am starting to believe that there is something to do with the TERK OTA antenna I have. If I bypass this and the multiswitch then I am...

    newbie question about roof

    I have had Directv for years and after several moves and a new roof myself I feel qualified to answer your question. You will have to move a the satellite when they begin work on your roof. No big deal really. When my roof was being replaced I mounted the dish to a piece of 2'x2' plywood and...
