I am currently thinking about joining my friend with his Directv. I have done this in the past, but I dont worry about local channels and ect. My question and concerns are the LOS, mounting or portable mount, dvr, and the dish.
It has always taken my a few hours for some reason to set it up by not having a signal finder, and me sitting there yelling back and fourth to my wife to see if there is signal. The apt. building I see a lot of possibly off set satellites in my area (dishes pointing through the buildings?) I am not too sure how that works, and does it take a special dish? I believe I have a double lnb slimline and still have the small box that gives it power.
Mounting- Would somthing like this work due to me moving in a while....
or are there better alternatives?
Can I buy a DVR and then use one of their cards and have them activate it and not plug it in to the internet/phone line.
I know this might very noobish, but tried my best to look things up before I posted.
