    What do you guys think about Direct HD Expansion

    I'd like more premiums and Travel in HD, etc. I could care less about sports. I only switched to Direct since they require only a single dish (with Dish Network I would've needed two).

    There's a sticker saying such on my Dell PC. I guess the problem I'm having is how do I run part of an Intel chip functionality? Is it also conventional software?
