thanks so much for the replies! good to know!

My two years was up and I canceled. They sent the box to return the receivers. I packed up the power cords, remotes, and the receivers. I noticed it said to also return all accessories. (like the B band adapters). I was given B band adapters when I first got installed but my dish got damaged in...

I will call and see if they lock me in on a new commitment. Thanks for the reply.

I'm debating my options. My 24 month commitment just ran out. I have been using my HR21's with only one input since my rooms have one coax. I don't have HD right now because a couple months after I got service we had a tornado and it took the dish so I hooked up an old 3 lnb dish and that's what...

I have two options with D* they can add 5.99 for a year or 49.99 one time visit. hmmm might just buy a dish without the lnb's to see if it would work.

thanks for the reply. I will check with them and see what they say. I do have a pile of dishes around so if worst comes to worst I can use 5 single dishes maybe. or least get one up for 101, 110.

We had a tornado today. missed our house but we got some wind damage and one item that was lost was our directv dish. The dish is pretty twisted so it can't hold a signal. Will directv replace this for free or do I have to pay a large fee for them to come out? If that is the case I might just...

I plan on calling and signing up in a couple mins... does anyone have a refferral code they can pm me? thanks!

I just switched to Dish and must say all the HD rocks. I'm not a fanboy to one side of the other. They are both good services. One thing I have noticed, with my D* hd box I only got 6 digital OTAs. I always thought my antenna was just pointed in a particular spot but when I fired up the 622 it...

what about a pole mount?

check this post out: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=40711&highlight=72.5 when I setup my 72.5 dish I connected it directly to the reciever first, used 101 or 110 (since there was no 72.5 meter, one the signal meters actually showed the signal I can't remember if it was 101 or...

Basically, however, if you want digital cable in every room than you got to fork out cash for each tv. In my area it's close to $9! So if you pay for hbo and have more than 1 tv, it's really not worth it to just have one box. I think this is really hidden by the cable companies. sure you can...

your right. ;) I hate to ditch D* after it's been such a solid service but I own everything so I can go back if I need too. I won't sign a dish contract.

Am I the only one that hates tivo? I hate my D* tivo with a passion. the features are great\good software but the guide and remote are soooo slow that it makes it not even worth it. It's so hard to see on a 20" lcd in my bedroom because the white text on blue blend together. I'm in the switch...

at this point I would take it...the current HD package is weak.

good call. didn't even think of that. I probally won't see HD LIL for years living in Lincoln-Hastings DMA. :eek:

has the content of voom channels gotten better? I used to be a voom sub when it was actually a service and the picture quality was great. Content was a little repeated but it still looked good. has it gone down hill?

I was flipping through on my SD box and I saw channel 1000. It said something about welcome to directv plus or something like that. It looks like it shows the same content over and over in a 15 min window. It said I didn't subscribe so I couldn't view the content. Any one know what this is? It...

Directv's website has all the manual links that you will need. They only install directv hardware now. Most likely you will get an H10 or H20 for the hdtv box and a R15 for the dvr

Will voom ever come to directv? If you go to voom.com there is a place to contact if you would like to carry the voom channels. this got me thinking. is it just capacity problems? or is directv scared of hd? ;)

what's the "vacation" charge?

No fox news though. wtf is up with that. Being owned by ruppert you would think fox news would be included. that's the only channel I want and more hd.:D

I use a sling with D* and it works well. The IR connection to the sling changes the channels great. It really depends on your internet connection for external viewing. You need a lot of upload 512K or higher works good. For local viewing on your network it works really well. I have an office and...

Contact Value Electronics...a gold sponser for this site. They should be able to help you.

I have had both and currently have Driectv. I had dish in 1996 when it first came out and got directv in 2002. I had no problems with dish during that time. Than I switched to Dish again in 2004 and it was a mistake. The boxes were buggy and the satellite would loose signal every now and than...
