Mili, Diecttv has a deal right now. The sattelite and recievers for up to four rooms for free, and free installation. I've had DTV for 4 yrs and would never get rid of it. Check it out I think you'll be impressed.

I agree Bucnut27, Mili would really like DirecTV if he gets it. Any of you out there who have DirecTV, I wonder if you have access to a channel called "NFL Total Access" ? I can't get enough of this, its a great channel and its free on DirecTV. Check it out

Problem is that DirectTV has a 2-3 week installation backlog.

Mili, anyone can self install a dish and get it right. I did it on my roof at 60 yrs and have never had to adjust it.
I put your zipcode onto my dish. For you to get a a perfect picture check these coordinates.
Elevation 34.6
Azimuth 232.6
I aimed mine with a 50 cent compass. If you have a clear view in that specific direction you can set the whole thing up in less than an hour.
You will need another person in the house looking at the picture to tell you when your picture is perfect. At that point you tighten the nuts on the dish.
Bucknut27 mentioned that that you can get four dishes for free. Welll, not exactly free. you have to pay $5 for each of those receivers every month.
Also, if you get ones of those "deals" you may have to get more of a package than you want.
Also, I believe that those dishes don't have an inferred sensor that attaches to the front of your VCR/DVD recorded and tell the VCR?DVD to turn on and start to record. I wouldn't have a dish that doesn't do that.

Actually, it's called the NFL Network. Total Access is a great show. I have a feeling it's going to be even better once the NFL season starts. On Sat. night of preseason, they have a show that just shoots back and forth between 6 or 7 live exibition games. |

My only issue with DirecTV is the business pratice by it's sister broadband company, (DirecWay). One of the most crooked companies that I have ever had the displeasure to deal with. This is a company that basically enjoined me into a contract without my knowledge or consent and bilk me out of around $300 dollars.
Be careful out there gents...

Well, I called Oceanic one more time yesterday and they confirmed that they will NOT have GamePlan at all this season, saying the survice that provides it to them (OnDemand) did not include in the overall package. So, I ordered DirectTV last night with an install date of Tuesday (Sep 7th). They said GamePlane was available and I ordered it, so if the installation goes on time I'll only have to resort to going to a sports bar once.
