    Slimline 3 Dish Pointing Question

    Just another question. When they would retest, and I retest during satellite setup. It says errors found on both tuners. And only 2 out of the 6 usually pass. Is that just testing signal strength? and its not passing cause mine is low. Or is something else wrong?

    Slimline 3 Dish Pointing Question

    I have the slimline 3 lnb, installed on Saturday. My zip code is 08056. I've tried some of the tips everyone has given. I'm getting around 80 to 85 on average. With a responder sometimes gettin up to 87, and others getting as low as 77. But most are in the real early 80s now.

    Slimline 3 Dish Pointing Question

    Well unfortunately I'm just a customer, and trying a different one would mean buying one for my own. Which is an expense I don't really want to make if I don't know. I asked the supervisor who came after the installation if that could be the problem. He said, since there is some signal, that can...

    Slimline 3 Dish Pointing Question

    I've adjusted the satellite to exactly what I believe to equal what I was told by dishpointer.com and with help from someone telling me how signal was doing. I got it so my transponders from each are between 77 and 84. But I am still hoping for better, considering how clear my LOS is. Is that an...

    Directv Tivo mentioned in Tivo's financial reports

    Yeah. I'd be curious to actually see some info. I'm about to be a new Directv subscribing, and will be getting my first DVR ever this Saturday. So I don't have much personal experience, but I have followed developments for a while, cuz I am an electronics geek through and through, and it always...

    Buying my first home and thinking about going with Directv

    Sounds good guys. Two additional questions I have Rey if you know the answer. In your experience is it easier to change programming features, like adding and dropping premium channels on D*? From what I read online it appears E* charges 5 bucks to drop and premium channels or drop to a lower tv...

    Buying my first home and thinking about going with Directv

    I'm currently looking between both dish and directv, and must say, this was as good an honest comparison as I've found so far. thanks for the read rey. The only question I would have is. Are the sports really better on directv if you only subscribe to the sports package? And not any of the...

    Versus Removed Sept 1 from DirecTV

    Right now I'm deciding on what satellite service to get. I'm torn on this issue. I really would like to have Versus. But at same time I also want Gol TV which Dish doesn't have. I just hope Directv can come to terms to keep the channel so I will be able to have both.
