Cancelled DirecTV-Went to Comcast

It will NOT work if you want to do MRV &/or on-demand thru the coax...

That is correct.that's why I have those on Ethernet.

You can't use diplexers with a slimline HD dish, no matter how many say they do it and it works great. It'll probably cause problems down the road for them.

Run another coax for the outdoor OTA antenna. No big deal.

you're right. you can just add another coax but i've never had issues and don't know anyone that has had issues with diplexers and the slimline dish.had it on my first slimline with a swm 5 lnb and have it on my latest one with a swm 3 lnb. here's a link. http://hr20.dbstalk.com/Slimline%20SWM%20ODU%20LNB%20First%20Look.pdf.
Directv doesn't recommend it but that doesn't mean it can't be done.

I have a swm dish with diplexers that I put myself.works great with my am21.

I did it myself also, worked just fine.

Good luck with Comcast...

Big mistake by asking if you could "move"!

Yeah. You don't ask them to lie to the FCC for you. You pretend you have already moved to take the liability of of them.

They also recommend you use RG6 coax cable from the satellite dish to the receivers, but it can probably done with speaker wire.

You could have gone with E as they offer Lansing HD Locals.

And the worst picture quality, sports lineup and On Demand features of the group. Dish blows.

yes you could of went with Dish, but with there on-going negotiations, I would not trust Dish for a second.

They lack so much content, no MLB Extra Innings, no MLB Net, no Yes Network in the NY area. And could lose FOX channels.
