    Is anyone else having a problem with AT&T wifi calling working on their home wifi network? I have TWC internet and a Apple Airport extreme 5th generation. AT&T wifi does not want to enable when on my home network. I have great service at my home, so It won't enable automatically anyway, but...

    Is anyone else having an issue with their sound sounding muffled on TBS (MLB playoff games) and FX this evening? Every other commercial has terrible sound and seems to be going in and out during the broadcast as well. Trying to determine if my surround system is finally going out or if its the...

    New customer given an R16?

    Is there any reason a new customer would be given an R16 STB? I had friends that signed up yesterday, and that's what they were given. I noticed almost immediately when I went to their house that they didn't have HD so I had to check it out. They only have one TV hooked up, so they would have...

    Well, I'm Back!

    After a year away at TWC, I have come back to DirecTV. I feel like I just rode a time machine from 2001 to 2013. Can someone explain to me why cable companies don't upgrade their tech like the Satellite companies have done? I mean hell, they are HARDWIRED to each and every home. If they...

    I live in Laredo TX and I am not sure if the TV Station is broadcasting a bad signal or if My antenna is out of wack. Fox 39 KXOF-TV in HD is very blocky and unwatchable at some points of the day. However, my signal indicator is showing between 84-86% and that the frequency is locked. I have...

    Disclaimer, before anyone gives me grief, I am doing exactly what Apple support suggested I do. I am looking for the iDVD program for OS X. Apparently, it is not part of iLife anymore, as my MacBook Pro came with iLife but not iDVD. The Apple support guy I spoke with suggested that I find a...

    Rain Fade Problems

    Just curious if D* has a major issue with rain fade. In clear skies, I have signal strength on most transponders in the high 90s-100. However, it seems every time it more than sprinkles outside, I lose signal. I had E* for years and although I had rain fade, it was never near this bad. Since...

    ABC in Laredo, TX

    Just curious, maybe I missed something, but I thought that Dish Network was going to be importing neighboring DMA's into markets without a full lineup of the "big 4" networks. Laredo, TX does not have an ABC affiliate, but Direct and Time Warner here import the San Antonio ABC channel. I...

    HOA Terminology, Is this Legal?

    This is copy and pasted out of the agreement I just received from my HOA. I am just curious how legal this is. I will be placing my dish where its best to pick up signal. Hopefully I abide by their rules. However, if I cannot, I was wondering if I would have a leg to stand on.
