My brother who is an over the road owner/operator has this antenna for his truck. And yes he is a directv customer
it's called there flex pay program!!! but you'll be paying full retail for the hardware and a 199 install if you can't do it yourself and one months of service up front no discounts!!! rvr's and truckers use it mostly
but like directv the box has to be clean not stolen not leased or money owed on it
thank you for the warm welcometo SatelliteGuys grim_reaper!!
i seen a hopper 3 for 229.99 and a 4k joey for 150.00 though you might be able to get the 4k joey cheaper. there's no way in hell that i would pay alot for a genie or a hopper reason being it's proprietary to a specific service!!! though i would pay more for the hopper 3 than the genie why dish equipment is mostly better built that directs crap and the hopper 3 does so much more than the genie!!!
yep dish told me there's no activation fee i can stop and start when i want!!! i heard that you can even pause your acct to and restarting it back up where you left off how true that is i don't know.. i also don't know what receiver you had but i heard that you'll get idiot warnings on your receiver to pay your bill before it's disconnected thoughts on that??
correct
you can...its $5 a month and it just "pauses" the account. But you can still watch stuff on the DVR
I never had a warning on my receiver about paying
5.00 a month is not bad to pause the acct and be able to watch stuff on the DVR!! i was looking at the 211z receiver but now they have the wally box out wich is 4k capable from my understanding. and yes dish did tell me that there would be a one time charge of 40 dollars to ad a hard drive to use it as a dvr. i'm not sure if you can do that with the wally receiver though since its so new!! yea i record alot of stuff so i am really thinking of the hopper 3 since it's so cheap!! and it can record 16 things at once
and you can watch 4 shows at once on the t.v.
and it's 4k ready great job on that dish. now it will also be interesting to see with what directv comes out with
. i'm in los angeles so locals for me is no problems i think i get 60 locals though most of em are in a foreign one more reason to pay for t.v.!!! there was something going around on another forum with the older hoppers restarting everynight and people were thinking that it was to make sure that the acct was paid but i dunnoyou know what KVH is pretty pricey but like you said if you want a good quality antenna then you got to spend a few bucks.. i talked to some rvr's and there saying the king controls is garbage!!! they said they have better luck with the winegaurd units with rain fade.. i also hear that the KVH units will detect the local channels in the area that your in i like that no more calling in and having to change your locals a big plus there!!! i also hear if they break down there not cheap to fix also but hey you get what you pay for!!! i wouldn't buy junk i found that out the hard way hears ago after buying so much junk i could have had the good one to begin with!! i'm really gonna research the KVH units i hear nothing but rave reveiws... i know on my boat there's KVH equipment for satellite phone and internet i don't use them though since i see no use for them. though i heard the satellite phone runs around twenty grand installed i almost had a stroke after i heard that
. i would hate to see the per minute rates and the rates they charge per megabyte i might have another stroke
I never knew they had Sat Phone set ups, but it does sound pricey.you know what KVH is pretty pricey but like you said if you want a good quality antenna then you got to spend a few bucks.. i talked to some rvr's and there saying the king controls is garbage!!! they said they have better luck with the winegaurd units with rain fade.. i also hear that the KVH units will detect the local channels in the area that your in i like that no more calling in and having to change your locals a big plus there!!! i also hear if they break down there not cheap to fix also but hey you get what you pay for!!! i wouldn't buy junk i found that out the hard way hears ago after buying so much junk i could have had the good one to begin with!! i'm really gonna research the KVH units i hear nothing but rave reveiws... i know on my boat there's KVH equipment for satellite phone and internet i don't use them though since i see no use for them. though i heard the satellite phone runs around twenty grand installed i almost had a stroke after i heard that
