    D* uses every trick in the book...

    WOW! What a reaction. This is excatly my point. As long as you all continue to agree with D* and their 1 YR agreement policy (and soon 2 yr) then they will continue to pin it on you. Every time you upgrade your receiver, service, move, etc, you are going to have to commit to us longer. It...

    D* uses every trick in the book...

    They are not GIVING me a new dish! They are replacing the one that I have already paid for and that they don't want to climb up and remove from my other house. And do what wiring? I have already said, I have done all the wiring. All they have to do is connect the dang dish and align it...

    D* uses every trick in the book...

    What costs do they need to make up! I am istalling all the wiring ahead of time. I paid for the original dish out of my own pocket when I first joined so it is NOT a free dish. If they want to keep more customers, they better find more ways to keep them satisfied because more/better...

    D* uses every trick in the book...

    ...to either get another 1 yr commitment or more money out of their customers. I am in the process of moving and called for the movers service. In order to get it free, you have to commit to another 1 yr of programming or pay $99. No way! I have just over a month left on my current...

    DVR change opinion

    Again, by the time I buy an 80 GB hard drive from them and all the stuff to upgrade it, it will cost me more than buying a new DVR. Then I can have 2 in the house. Thanks for the input.

    DVR change opinion

    DrWho, that's probably what I will do. I will just replace the regular receiver in my computer room with the 35 hr DVR and get the 70 hr one to replace the 35 hr one.

    Thanks for the input but it looks like it would cost me more to upgrade the hard drive that to just buy the new DVR.

    DVR change opinion

    I currently own a Phillips DSR7000 35 hour DVR. I have begun to use it quite frequently and run out of space before I have a chance to watch everything. I originally was going to wait on upgrading until the HD DVR came down in price but I am not sure I want to wait that long. I am thinking...

    LD Symbol in Movie Listings?

    I believe it is LB and it stands for Letterbox which describes the size of the picture. Basically, it will have the lines at the top and bottom of the screen.

    Loss of volume on HD channels

    So you think it will releave it to just run it all through the stereo and play the HD channels throught the stereo??

    Loss of volume on HD channels

    My bad, I just realized that I also run a pair of RCA cables straight from the HD Receiver to the TV. It is only the HD channels that are lower in volume.

    Loss of volume on HD channels

    I know this has probably been addressed already. I just got my HD channels hooked up and I have noticed the sound is lower than the SD channels. It was the same way on my OTA but I thought it was because of the antenna. But even ESPNHD, DHD and all the others are like that too. I am running...

    Still Confused

    Thanks! Will I be able to get the others (i.e. CBS & NBC)? I guess my best bet is to just call D* once I get the dish installed next Tuesday. I remember you saying that at the X-Mas party. I have only been back for about 5 years after 20 years in the Air Force. I grew up in Euless

    Still Confused

    Can someone please explain the requirements for getting the local HD channels? I am in the D/FW metroplex and i can receive the HD channels via an antenna. However, the signals come and go at will throughout the day. I cannot watch a single program without losing the signal at least once. Am...

    SAmsung TS 360 VCR Control Cable

    I had my VCR cable but didn't have a DVI cable. Before I bought the 360, I read several places where it said one was included. I thought, GREAT!, I don't have to spend $100 for one. Well, it didn't and I still don't have one. Did anyone else get one?

    The SIR-TS360 DOES have Caller ID because I just bought one and that was one of the main reasons I went with it.

    Triple LNB and multiswitch

    Then I must have a 2X or 3X switch now because I can only get the 101 satellite. So, I guess I would have to get another switch if I wanted to add an addtional DVR. I had a CSR tell me that the dish was only $49.99 through them. Is that true? I have seen them on-line but for much more.

    Triple LNB and multiswitch

    I just recently upgraded to a new HD receiver but am holding off on the dish for now. Probably will upgrade before the end of the year to get the 6 months free, though. My question is this: When I upgrade to the 18X20 dish and use the switch on the dish, two of the connections will go to my...
