Iceberg you are right--I had forgot that. Back then the movie channels were through USSB but were on the same dish/receiver as Directv. The bills were separate though I think.

My memory is awesome for events in my life but not as good for other things. I cannot remember what those packages were called. I know the new Dish packages were bronze, silver and gold but I also though the old Directv packages were too. One of the providers even had a supplement cable...

It was definitely possible at one time. It was the Christmas of 1998 that my wife bought me a Hughes system from Montgomery Wards. At that time the single lnb systems were 99 dollars and the dual lnb systems were either 150 or 200 dollars. Lol I can still remember pointing the dish--I...

Yeah it isn't leased. That is why I didn't go to Best Buy.

Ahh there used to be that option I thought. Maybe it was with Dish. But you kept your account active for 5 dollars a month with no programming. I will only have 1 receiver, I only want to be able to order ppv. Things have probably changed but that is actually the reason my wife bought me a...

No, the home is currently empty. The renter moved out last May and my parents decided to not rent it out again. The renter had the Directv system installed, I think about 2-3 years ago which is why I was sort of surprised it was still the smaller dish. Sorry, I should have been more clear.

Thanks. I am currently not a customer and there is basic cable at his home. I just wanted to be able to access movies or events and have some old friends over.

My grandfather's old home has a Directv dish, it was installed about 3-4 years ago and is the smaller dish with a single lnb. I occasionally go down and spend a night or two. I would like to be able to buy a receiver and use it for ppv events when I am down there--have a few friends over for...

Sorry if this has been asked but I cannot find a recent post. I will be getting the HD DVR with Directv. My home has the standard cable wiring--one cable jack to each room. Will they have to drill a hole through a wall to run 2 cables to this? Or can multiple signals run over the same cable...
