    Bankers Predicting Sale of DTV

    I did not realize you were such a swingin' di*k when it comes to cooperate mergers that you could prevent it. Still bashing dish cuz Directv is so great. They both suck balls for different reasons.

    Satellite TV piracy and account stacking

    Obviously you never programed a H or HU card. While not hard there was a little more to it then that. Dish was much more difficult in the beginning. Anyone remember talk and freetalk?

    Vizio E700i-B3 with HR24 remote

    I just got a new Vizio E700i-b3 Tv and the receiver says sorry remote can not be programed at this time. Is there a way to get the remote working with this tv via code entry or something else?

    Is it possible to view any program on a Direct TV DVR for the past week?

    Did not notice that poster calling you any names, or degrading you. this is a FORUM, and people may say things you don't like. Saying you are a glass half full kinda guy does not seem insulting at all to me. If you don't like what people say maybe YOU could go somewhere else. not trying to be...

    Help with vacation home self-install

    I would think is is 6 of one and a half dozen of the other. if you have SWiM at home and use standard at the vacation home you will have to change antenna settings each time you move the dvr (not really a big deal at all). the SWiM should work fine at 200' and copper wire, but with the standard...

    Help with vacation home self-install

    You will need a "flooded" direct bury cable, and at 200' probably copper for sure as I believe the max suggested run on SWiM is 150'. look on ebay for the cable, or flag down installer van,or call a retailer who may sell you some cable.

    Directv or dish?

    Malibu's and Fusions looked almost identical a couple of years ago, now the Fusion has the Malibu covered,big time, at least in looks. this coming from a diehard Chevy guy.

    Help with vacation home self-install

    You should be fine with copper clad at 100'. tree mounting can be problematic as trees tend to move in the wind and grow. the lower on the tree the better. you can dial in your dish with the standard lnb, then switch to the SWiM after alignment is done. edit...as far as connectors, compression...

    HR44 is awesome!

    Must use a external power supply? never really cared for that. seems to be much improved from the 34.....nice cuz the 34 I have played with did not really impress me.

    Attempted new install through Cosco was a big fail!

    This is when a learning remote would be nice. my boy has a genie system and it seems fine, but the remote functions and layout are lacking IMO. hope you can figure it out, nopthing worse than having to use multiple remotes.

    Genie FF and Skip with on Demand TV shows

    Noticed that on my friends hr24 as well. i guess it makes sense on network tv.also wondered why there is no option to watch instantly, only record, unlike with dish.

    Does DTV have (or planning for) an "Eastern Arc"?

    here in my neck of the woods D* is only installing the dishes that get 99,101 and 103.....did not think there was anything other then random locals on 119

    Does DTV have (or planning for) an "Eastern Arc"?

    the directv sats are in about the best location for the whole country, so there is no need for 2 arcs, dish on the other hand needs to arcs for HD because 129 is so low in the sky in the east.
