They aren't going to "offer" you anything, if you're content in paying $100 or more a month for mostly garbage channels or a bunch of commercials, so be it. You have to ask. This worked well for many years. After the initial 2 year sign up teaser rates rolled off, I was paying around $100 a...

Everything AT&T gets involved in turns into garbage. I was happy overall for the choice package for many years, always with a teaser rate of $40-50 for two boxes and dvr service. Nope, AT&T wouldn't budge this year when teaser rate ran out. They finally offered me $20/mo as a loyalty discount...

I still plan on using my c-band BUD in the future to watch wild feeds, etc. But it is nice to have weather, sports scores, etc at my fingertips, as well as the multiroom dvr, etc. So many up to date features that Motorola never gave us. The c-band will be for us hobbyists again, long into...

Thanks guys for the support. Actually, I have discovered quite a few of the features just playing around with the remote. I did have to have instruction on the double play which I bet will get a lot of use in our house. It seems to be a fairly easy transition from 4dtv to DirecTV, contrary to...

I understand I can order PPV events by calling Direct or from my acct on the web. I haven't tried it yet., still tryng to learn the dvr:rolleyes: Last night we were watching CFB game on one channel which I was set up to record via the on screen guide. I could pause it and go to a basketball...

Thanks ice.

The only thing I see re search under [menu] is [SmartSearch] did a search for 30 seconds and I got some program about 30 seconds to whiter teeth, don't think that's what I want. There isnt anything else listed. Maybe my menu is setup different. "Channels I Get" is close to what I get, but...

Today was install day. The crew was supposed to show 12PM-4PM and showed about 2:30 and were finished by 3:30. They installed Slimline5 dish with HR24 and H24 receivers with wholehouse DVR. There will be a bit of learning curve to this, me being from the old c-band school. But hey, if I can...

I verified my pole size when I got home today, it is 1 1/4 pipe. OD is 1 11/16", so I'll have to sleeve it with a piece of 2", not sure if they would go for this, may have to drop a new 1 1/2" pipe (which should be approx 2" OD). Maybe they will find everything in order and just install the...

No problem, hey it was all in good fun, ice.;) I wondered what sort of response I'd get to calling it Dave anyway. People are a lot more light hearted here versus over at satf-- Things get heated there pretty quick, enjoy this place much better. Got your PM. Thanks. Edit: So pipe needs to...

TVRO, I'll be going with HD. Probably within next couple of weeks. I am subbed with the 4DTV until last week in December, so I'll definitely be doing some comparisons, why I don't know. Not that it will matter now, how can I promote something that the manufacturer/tm owner has tried so hard...

I just guessed at 1 1/4" inside diameter, I'll have to check it, it is schedule 40 galvanized, I'll need it to be 2" ID?? If so I might get a piece of 2" rigid conduit from work.

I have never hacked DirecTV, but I've been around long enough to know who Dave and Charlie (aka Charles) are. I have also never subbed to Dave or Charlie so go figure. I would sub to the masters forever if they would have let me, unfortunately that will not be possible after 01-04-11, so they...

Hey guys, I am probably going to bite the bullet and sub to DirectV within next few weeks, with loss of masters and ability to move my bud if I buy W5 4dtv package after 1/1/11. I have a couple of questions for new install of Direct, 1. I have an FTA H-H dish mounted on a 1 1/4"(?) pipe...

Yeah most peeps around here go with DishNetwork. Closest installer listed is like 35-40 miles away. I am not impressed with Dishnet PQ.

Ice, In your opinion how does directv HD pq compare to the c-band hd and sd masters? (The ABC/Disney masters when itc are very good pq, even though SD. The Net and Wealth HD channels are awesome quality on my 50" and look better than dvd.)

I am an old c-bander with a 4dtv. With options limited to whats on W5(105W) after January 1, 2011, I have been exploring directv and dishnetwork. I am not sure what I will do yet and may stay with c-band. I am still pissed off at dishnetwork since the old TurnerVision days, so they are out of...
