I'm glad to hear that the phone line is not needed for updates, just PPV. I don't care about PPV, we never watch ant PPV in my house. There isn't even a phone line in the room with the receiver right now. I'm a very happy camper right now! Thanks for the info!

OK, I'm getting ready to upgrade the HTL-HD with the HR-20. I was holding out for the new birds to go up. Since we use Vonage for our phone system, we do not have the Direct receivers hooked up to the line. It doesn't work. Do I need to have a phone line to get software updates and guide...

D* can easily open up bandwidth so they can uncompress the HD channels. Take the 50 church channels they carry and compress them so far that are muddy. There is nothing on those channels that you need high resolution to see anyway. You would only be pissing off the 1% of the viewers who watch...

I get all 4 networks and live in Lumberton, NJ. That's the next town south of Mount Holly inBurlington County.

D* is graciously delivering me a DVR to replace my GAEBOA on Saturday morning. Are they going to be able to activate it or am I screwed by both the CMAC problems preventing activations and the GAEBOA fiasco?

I complained twice about my GABOA and they offered a replacement receiver. I suggested that I was thinking about buying a Tivo and giving me a good deal on one would make me happy. They gave it to me for free with free installation. I just had to pay the $14.99...

OH and now we have to deal with the Hughes GAEBOA issue... they are all resetting themselves, over, and over, and over again. No ETA on when this will stop. I've just been replacing most of these, because its easier than trying to explain whats going on, and it may be awhile, to just send them...

I put up a Channelmaster 4228 with a rotator last year that I use to pull the New York channels from South Jersey. I find that I don't pick up some of the obscure philly locals unless I dial them in specifically because the towers are not in the same place as all of the major networks. If you...

Jimmy, Your stb is making a modem call. I use vonage at my home for my alarm system and I also fax and make the occasional modem call over it with my computer. Tkey all work fine. Don't worry about it unless you have performance issues with your current VOIP. Scott

You mean set top box. I'm a real dummy sometimes. I'll try it but I am having the same trouble on both of my boxes. :D

What is an STB? I'm a satellite technology neophyte. I know enough to play with it but sometimes I need some help. Thanks!

After a recent cold snap here in New Jersey, my reception of the DirecTV 110 satellite has quit. My dish is an 18 x 20 triple LNB, built-in 4 output multi switch. It was installed last July when we moved into the house. Running diags from both of my receivers shows a failure of the 110 LNB...
