Thanks for the feedback. I'm getting a headache reading all the gigabit wireless N router reviews, but I guess I'll persevere and pick one. :-)

Hi Everyone, Moving in about a week and switching back to DirecTV as part of the move. Getting the whole-house DVR with two HD DVRs and an HD box, and also getting the Cinema Connection Kit. One DVR and connection kit will be very close to the router. I'm guessing 100mbps is adequate for...

Well, this was an interesting excercise. I had made up my mind to get AT&T for phone and DSL, and DirecTV for TV/DVR. Main reason for AT&T was wife wanted POTS telephone (she doesn't trust IP telephony). Main reason for DirecTV was their whole-house DVR functionality and channel line-up fit...

Thanks for the information. I've been reading for hours on the various features and FAQs for Time Warners whole-house DVR and DirecTVs, and I believe I'm going to go with DirecTV. The channel line up suits us well, and the I like DirecTV's whole-house DVR features a tad better than what Time...

Hi Everyone, We will be moving at the end of July, and I am in the process of evaluating our options for TV/phone/internet. We are currently in Windstream territory and have local phone/long distance, DSL and Dish Network through Windstream (all on one bill). We currently have no HD tvs, and...

It's FIXED - Thanks WebbyDude! Well, just wanted to let everyone know, I talked to WebbyDude last night and we set up for him to be here at 11am this morning. He was incredibly professional on the phone, and gave me his name and tech ID# so I could confirm his employment to appease my wife...

Hearing that burns my biscuit more than getting the treatment I got. Honestly, how inconsiderate can people be? I always treat service people that come to my house with respect, and I expect the same from them. I try to give them as much information as possible to allow them to do their jobs...

Jim, Just sent you a PM. Thanks, Gary

Hi Jim, I truly appreciate this offer - you have gone above and beyond the call of duty to make it. I will be around painting windows all day tomorrow, but I can imagine my wife's reaction to accepting this offer from a stranger on the internet. :eek: She's convinced the internet is full of...

The OP is back... Well, I appreciate everyone's feedback on my repair fiasco, but I'm particularly interested in responding the the installers who took the time to post. Thanks for taking the time to respond, but I think you're missing the point here. I work for a $7 billion retail company, and...

Hi folks, I was a D* customer for over 9 years, but after the last price increase my local phone company offered a great bundle deal to switch to E* (including a DVR, which I had been wanting), so I went ahead and cancelled about 20 months ago. Well, E* has really got me steamed right now...

Hey WiCkeDuDe, Already did all that - should have mentioned it in my post....I was too busy on my rant. Reset the receiver a few times. Disconnected and ran switch test to clear it, then hooked back up and got bad switch again. Played around with the alignment a bit, too. Manged to get...

Ok....this has got me really steamed. Dish started acting up after a storm on Tuesday. Called for service and the earliest they could get us in was Friday between noon and 5pm. I take a vacation day today to sit around and wait for the knob to show up. Well, at 3:30 the local place calls and...

I think it's the switch Ok...got home from work tonight and wife tells me it has been working intermittantly today. I started playing around a bit more, and I'm getting signal strength of 70 for 119 and about 55 for 110. The I notice this - for one tuner I can only get signal on even numbered...

Thanks for the replies. BobaBird - I had already tried disconnecting the dish and running the switch test again. I found that tip on here and had noted that in my original post. Unfortunately I still got the error. UGAChance - on the system information screen it says no signal. This is nuts...

Took my torpedo level out, and it's still level. It's driving me nuts. It just downloaded the guide, but when it went to show the channel it was tuned to, the screen went blank for about 3 seconds and it started the searching for satellites routine again. Like I said, it recorded my wife's DVR...

Hi folks, New member here that needs some help. After performing flawlessly for 18 months, my 625 started dropping the signal every now and then. I had the protection plan free for 18 months, but I didn't cancel it right away when the 18 months were up last month because of the signal drops...
