    You wouldn't believe the amount of people who complain about the lack of a clock.

    Suspend your account? Probably better then late fee and possibly a blemish on your credit.
  3. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Start as early as possible. Precall your AM customers the evening prior and ask if they are OK if you come around 630-7AM. Most poeople won't mind since they can carry on with their day sooner. Then see if you can take a longer break during mid day.

    The second dish would not be covered on the standard install. But some green to the installer should work.

    Not bad. Not a big fan of the cable routing though. I would have ran it in the guttter and hidden behind the drain pipe.
  7. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I always used to put a small ( half-peanut sized ) dollop inside the connector before tightening the connector. Never had issues.
  8. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Yes there were some there, saw them on a job where previous moron tech put in 18" dish together with a H20. People were wondering why they had almost no HD. I'd say Discovery HD ( HD Theater these days ) and CBS NY local, but I could be wrong.

    You'll need a whole new dish. As with purchasing any IRD, check the RID# with D* before buying to see if it can be activated

    Yes, their exterior appearance might be different but they all mount the same. This was one of the goals of the slimline design.
  11. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Yeah, that's going to happen.:nono:
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yes and no: -As long as your total amount of boxes stay the same there won't be any additional lease fees. -A DVR fee will be added. - 99% sure a tech will have to come out.

    AFAIK they send a policy out by mail every year and it is available online.
  14. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Hard to say, but you should at least get some signal on 103 / 99.

    Technically one of the supports has to support the weight of the dish and the other one has to hold the wind load. You can check the 'tech thread' for some pointers. If your DMA has locals from 119 you'd need a 5 LNB. 110 is pretty much obsolete.
  16. High Definition Displays
    I would try to stick to the bigger name brands. Sony, samsung, vizio, etc. Make sure to read independent reviews since a lot of specs published by the manufacturers are meaningless.

    /checks guide for SPICE :lol:
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yup, take the IRDs, suspend the account for 6 months and see where you are then. Too often boxes get lost and the bills get crazy.
  19. General DISH™ Discussion
    That's actually a Dish1000+, which is basically a 500+ with an extra bracket for 129. You also have a repoint kit to make a superdish into a 1000+ And 1000.4 is 61.5/72.7/77
