Was just curious, does anyone know what subcontractor handles installation and service for DirecTv, for the Salem OR or Eugene OR area? Got a friend who lives out there and she wasn't sure so I thought I'd ask. Thxs in advance.

Your best option short of building a PC on your own, would be to buy a prebuilt one with Vista on it, buy the XP separate, then install XP over the top of Vista. It would delete Vista during the install process. You would still need to download the drivers for each piece of hardware in the...

Why do they charge for HD? To make money. Every business does that.

Usually yeah, that's right. Unless the warehouse gets a load of refurb'd HR20's, which I haven't seen lately. All Hr21's far as I know.

If they don't bind customers as well, then why does D* prosecute them when they're caught?

HSP in Indy area is Bluegrass Satellite Indianapolis - Branch 18 1936 So Lynhurst Drive Suite I Indianapolis, IN 46241 317-227-0803 As far as an independent retailer I really don't know.

LOL preaching to the choir there Greg. Usually if I have to call to rezap a card or w/e, I don't even give them the chance to ask me 50 million questions, hit the red button yada yada.... If it's something I know I can fix by them simply hitting a button I'll tell them, "Look just resend auths...

...if it's the HR21Pro you are supposed to be getting, it records up to 400hr's of SD programming OR 100hr's of HD. There is no 500hr DVR that D* makes. The harddrive itself holds 500gigs, maybe that was where you got the 500 part from I dunno...

...purpose or by mistake doesn't make it right I agree with that too. CSR's trying to make a sale... I see this all too often as well. Not just from D* but some of our business "partners" as well. A regional phone company which I won't name is notorious IMO for telling a customer anything just...

Oooops >.<

Absolutely.

...one place when it is in fact at another location. Up to $150,000 fine and/or 10 years in prison if caught and convicted. And it's not so much D*'s policy as it is the FCC telling them where they can and can't broadcast, otherwise D* would be paying fines out the ass. And you can bet they...

...our warehouses won't issue them until the current stock is depleted. First in, First out. Understand, like someone else said, when you call up D*, the first CSR you talk to is reading down a script. They may or may not know the in's and outs of every single nook and cranny of each piece of...

So it's on a slab then? Yeah fishing down from the attic if it's 2 story would be pretty challenging once you got to the point where you're trying to go between the upper and lower level. How new is the building? Lot of newer buildings have horizontal fire-breaks between the studs as well. SWM...

Let me clarify that then. A regular off the shelf splitter won't work for any amount of time. A All-ports power pass splitter will work briefly but will eventually burn the diode inside it out. I tried this once when I was still green and didn't know any better, and low and behold it did work...

A regular splitter will "work" for about an hour before it burns the splitter out and your back to searching for satellite. So, no. Single Wire multiswitch is your only option with one line.

For our area (Greater Cincinnati) wall fishes run $60 per wall. At the sole discretion of the installer to charge it or not. 2 story house, sounds like he'd be fishing some lines from the attic down, those he most likely would charge. Quick question: To fish the main floors (if you go that...

when it comes up with searching for satellite, hit menu, exit, or back, (forget which one) but it will bypass that step and take you to the black screen, then hit menu again to get to your recordings.

Go to menu, settings, setup, satellite, repeat guided setup. Enter the zip code of where you are at. It will GIVE you the proper angles based on that zipcode. Happy trails.

90-97 on the 101 and about the same on the 119. Those are the only two birds we tune by, if they're tuned correctly everything else falls in line.

Ditto.

Problem solved. Was actually rather easy and I feel dumb once I realized what it was. My monitors are supposed to be PLug N PLay so I tried to hot connect them to my cards while my rig weas running but it wouldn't turn them on. Simply rebooted and they both came right on, one on each card...

Got a question or two. Actually trying to troubleshoot and could use some input. I have 2 identical EVGA 8600 GT Nvidia cards in my rig. I was using them in SLI mode for all my PC gaming. I have an Acer 22 LCD monitor, and my old generic CRT monitor that the LCD replaced. Still works. I was...

sounds like an LNB

In a nutshell, if you are still under your contract, whether it be 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, whatever..... If you break the contract you will get charged for the remainder of the contract. Is what it boils down to.
