    Should I get U-Verse (or stick with Dish Network)?

    Test it Out Since there is no long term contract with AT&T U-verse, test it out “but keep Dish”. If you are not satisfied then you can cancel the Video part of the service. :) By the way Welcome!!

    Review: AT&T U-VERSE

    :welcome It has been stated elsewhere in this forum that you should never cancel your existing service until you are satisfied that your new service is up and running. U-verse does provide additional competition, hope that helps to get you a lower price for your Comcast service. :)

    Review: AT&T U-VERSE

    AT&T is very secretive about this. If you start to see additional panel type equipment (VRADs) similar to the pictures that have been posted in previous posts, also installation of new underground cables, then you would know that they are laying out the network. In some areas they add these...

    (I posted this elsewhere, but I think that this is the proper location for this thread) Since at present there does not seem to be that many new available new HD content broadcasters out there, and with talk of possibly up converting existing SD channels into HD; Do you think that D*’s claim...

    What's the latest Comcast satellite buy back offers???

    Hi Proc, The best thing about Comcast is that there is no contract, with both D* and E* we tend to get paranoid thinking that we stuck for a year or two. The deal for either 12 or 16 can be canceled at anytime as you know. I had Comcast come in with the deal and still kept E* until I was...

    Too much signal?

    How do the analog channels look like? Too many splits and you might degrade the quality of the analog channels.

    Thinking about going to Cable for now.(deal)

    What do you have to loose? There is no contract and the one year deal does give you time until both D* and E* get their act together with MPEG4. I was told back when I signed up for the deal by the salesperson that after the year they might give you an extension or special package deal. This...

    I will have to look at that JVC but anyway to give you a little info; A 6P (6 pin) connector can transfer data and power, a 4P (4 Pin) connector only transfers data. Hope this helps. :)

    Comcast 6412 Audio problem???

    If it is only on that channel, it could be dropouts specific to that channel's frequency. Have the box exchange, and see if it happens again. If it happened on all the channels then it could be the box or your cable connections including the cable itself. But you did state that everywhere else...

    Motorola dvr 6412 Firewire recording to DVD

    Yes, Make sure you select the proper source on the DVD recorder. The MOTO's firewire is hot (on). I have been told that Walmart has the same DVD recorder for $98.00 "ILO 05" or something like that. Should work the same. :)
