    625 adding to current 301 and 501 system

    Problem moving receiver to a different room

    in re: wall plates ... that's a big 10-4 on that one . . . building contractors put those in as cheap as they can buy them, some of them won't even carry Comcast's low frequencies, and by satellite freqs, they're toast.

    TECH: 121 Single LNB Orbital Location?

    in re: the (why would that matter?) . . . it doesn't directly, as the superdish shape is actually detuned parabolic to accomodate the trifocal sky view, if you wanted to optimize for a single sat you would want a perfect parabolic dish with an offset arm, which shapes up as an ellipse with its...

    Super nice service rep - but super bad actual service...

    theoretically, a contract can only be instituted or extended when the company incurs a potential loss by providing a customer with equipment at less than cost, and attempting to recover that potential loss over time. but that's just a theory, as i found with direcTV when i added the fox sports...
