Currently I am with the other satellite company. I was wondering how Direct compares to the other in a couple categories:
Do they have a dual receiver that allows recording two and watching another?
Can they use the existing wiring setup or do they need to replace with new wire?
How does the direction of the satellite dish compare with what I have currently? (I had to cut down some limbs to allow a better signal) (Also my dish is currently cemented to the ground at the site of my house). I would hate to have to cut down more trees to accomodate the signal.
I have heard from co-workers that Direct is better with local channels, is that true? (I live in the Champaign-Urbana-Danville, IL area).
Any thing else you can say to convince me besides the fact that Direct has NFL
Sunday ticket?
Thanks for your time and help,
Ron

Since your name is Packer Fan, should we assume you like the NFL Football games ? 
If you are buying a HDTV at the same time, Best Buy will credit you $250.
If you get a referral from any current customer, that is another $100.
Direct TV gives you two free HD receivers that will share the same DVR.
DirecTV on Demand is very cool .. download movies to your DVR immediately instead of waiting for them to be scheduled on satellite.
MLB Channel and Gol, which Dish doesn't have.
I even like the Direct music channels . . no talking compared to Sirius on Dish, just music.

As mentioned, you can record two shows while watching a already recorded show

Usually, but that depends on your current set up

Dish 's sat's are spread out farther, D*'s sats range from the 99* slot to the 119* at most, Chances are you may only need the main 3 though as there's not much on the 110 and 119, so it would require access to the 99, 101 and 103 sats, much easier to get than DISH's set up, so you'll not need as wide of an angle.

Better in what way ?, what are you asking ?

Cutting Edge
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....

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

Yup, I agree, I'd rather be 2 or 3 till the last few weeks.They get cruel sometimes, very very cruel.
Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
