Installers usually attach it to the back of the dish or somewhere in the basement.

lol. Come up to MI. Every sub 1000+ has the 44sw on the dish or mast.

I completely understand that it saves a metric asston of cable, but when I roll up to a TC or CH, I have to re-install it... and that spells good times for 12 points :rolleyes:. Especially if there is no basement or crawlspace... then you have to turn into a freaking artist on your drip loops into 2 GB's and then into your now re-located 44sw. (heaven forbid your loops are bigger/smaller than 4", failed QAS anyone?)

Good times, indeed.

Question?

If i order just the HD channel package for 29.99 a month what kind of dish will they install?

If they let you go with the HD only package, Corporate would probably build the work order to still be a 1000+ dish, because at some point you may want to add your locals (110) ... HD locals (sat depends on area, 118.7 in Detroit), or any of the other mpeg2 SD programming (119). Corporate will build it as such to cover any upgrade possibilities in the future.

However, when the installer shows up, they have a small amount of leeway as to what you can have installed. Some may put up 2 x 500 with 61.5 or 129 on the wing... Most will opt to do whatever is on the work order, though. ;)

That depends largely on where you live and if your HD locals are available (they will generally set you up to receive them even if you don't subscribe). For most of the continental US, it would be a Dish 1000.2. If you live in the deep Southern or Northeastern US, it might be two Dish500's. Up here in the Pacific Northwet, it is a Dish500 and a 24" dish for 129W.

I called them yesterday and they said it would be fine to order just the hd package for 29.99 a month, three months for free with a 24 month commentment, i think i will pass on that part of it though. Fourty-five hd channels at that price seems more than fair, i already get my locals in hd with just some rabbit ears. I hope they only put up one dish. Minneapolis area.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

I like the Jimmy Fallon channel. This will be its third year. I like that it's all fresh each year. Also fun when he pops on live from time to time.

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.

They will have to look at the switching sections to determine WHY 2 trains were on the same track ... at the same time.
