    Thanks for the update Jason. It's better then I feared it might be. The content providers are out of control with their price increases. Off Topic.....good luck next weekend.....I hope RR leaves after :)

    How to manually add channel to AM21?

    Sorry...there is no way to "manually" do it....(there is a way to add a second set of channels where there is overlap....but this will not work with Canadian stations) One of the disadvantages to the AM-21 is no channel scan.

    Versus Removed Sept 1 from DirecTV

    Right on Jimbo....Versus coverage sucks...... their announcers and production are lacking. I love hockey, but cannot stand Versus.

    Versus Removed Sept 1 from DirecTV

    "DirecTV is currently in a programming dispute with the popular sports channel Versus. For more details please CLICK HERE." I would like to see a show of hands as to how many people think Versus is "popular".......I know most hockey fans do not :(

    Chase Carey Leaving DirecTV?

    This is not good news.....I am concerned we may be on a downhill path :mad: Edit The rumor this afternoon in some financial circles....... is that AT&T may be in the wings ready to do a deal. This could explain a lot

    Remote Reaction SOOO Slow!

    I think the slowness has become worse over the past few weeks. Yup...I wish they would spend time making sure the basic things work before going out on these other projects.

    Updated DirecTV HD Locals Launch Schedule: November->March (And PBS Launches)

    Not gonna happen for a long time. Digital subchannels are still a big unknown for most broadcasters as no one is making any money with them. Satellite companies are going to wait and see, before they add additional capacity for those channels.

    Why should I switch to Directv?

    Within reason, ......cost should not be the deciding factor....in short, you get you pay for. Dish has always been the cheap option.

    Returning to Directv...whats the deal with my Weather Channel?

    you need to tune in a few minutes BEFORE weather on the 8... so the data has time to load to your respective zip codes

    Who's on Top & Who's on the Bottom

    Just finished a 24 hour test.....when I switched to below, the temp went from 119 to 109...tonight I have put some 1" small wood strips between the units to provide more air movement. With the AM 21 unit directly on top, the temp did reach 121 and was very warm on my hand.

    I know the AM-21 has only been out for a short time....have seen some discussion about where the AM-21 should be reference the HR-21. I to have noticed my temperature increase (not above the critical 125 point)...but never the less increase when it was on the top. Have now switched and will...

    Fed up with billing issues

    For all you people that have bill problems....it is so much easier to outline your case in an email and have a written record as opposed to a "he said, she said" type of relationship on the telephone. Sometime it may take a couple of back and forth emails, but having that backup is well worth...

    Snow and AU9

    We are closing in on the 150" mark for snow this year, and I finally have found the difference between the AT9 and the AU9. The reflector is very sensitive to snow buildup. My AU9 is at the same location as the AT9 (which never had an outage in two years) and this year the AU9 has kept me busy...

    To cold for a pole mount

    HA....Eric you know how we feel about Maze & Blue :D The AU9 is mounted on a standard D* 2" mounting pole....then it slides INSIDE the heavy duty pipe galvanized 2 1/2" ( but be sure to check this) which provides a firm fit. The screw which holds the cross brace in place is long enough to go...

    To cold for a pole mount

    I think you will be fine getting it done. Also....depending on how high your pole is and if it is close enough to the house.....suggest a cross brace from the house to the pole. It really helps when those winds come in over the lake :)

    Anyone having reception issues with HD channels??

    Yes.....Had a lot of problems yesterday with Big 10 network and other HD channels. At first I thought it might be the sun interference in the afternoon time period....but it continued on into the evening. Everything seems to work fine unless I am on the new 103b sat. It just does not have...
