The truth is for maximum quality, you should place your satellite dish in an unobstructed area. where there are no trees, buildings or other things that can restrict or obstruct the signals that the satellite is transmitting to your satellite dish.

Because i own my home are there any restrictions in the home that i own on placing the dish anywhere.

Of course you can but as long as there is no obstruction to where your satellite dish is pointing, you can place it anywhere in your property. A very good example is having the satellite dish installed on your roof.

Do i need a ground satellite dish and are there any laws governing this for my property.

Yes. There are local laws that require you to ground your satellite dish. In some places, there are no laws regarding grounding a satellite dish. However, grounding is still a must because of the build-up of static electricity. Static electricity can mean disruption of the signals or, in some cases, damage to your receiver.

So what is entailed in installing a satellite dish. Well check out the video below and then read the information that follows.

When installing a satellite dish, you will need a lot of things. First, you have to determine the location where you want to install your satellite dish. It should be in an area where there are no obstructions between the signal and the dish.

Heres a nice video on how to install a satellite dish.

Satellite dish providers usually include all the equipment necessary to install the dish. They will also include a manual on how you should install the dish and where should you point it.

WHos responsible for upkeep of the satellite dish.

It depends on your agreement with the provider. Usually, if you buy the satellite dish you will be responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the satellite dish. If you rent it, the service provider is usually responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the satellite dish. However, the connection or signal is usually the sole responsibility of the satellite signal provider.

What to do when you loose your signal and you cant get it back.

If you lose your signal from your satellite dish, it is best that you call your provider's customer care service. They will instruct you on what to do. You can also check your satellite dish owner's manual.

Differences between comcast and Direct Tv.

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 06:10:38 +0000

THere are a couple of differences between comcast and direct tv. Here is a small difference.

Comcast of course uses coaxial cable to reach the customer in the areas they serve. While cable services in the past were somewhat unreliable, the last mile network to every home is actually quite reliable today. On the other hand, Direct TV uses satellite dish technology, which can go out of service during strong storms.

Cable companies like Comcast have also made huge investments in their infrastructure in order to provide video on demand. This is done by holding large amounts of content on centralized servers, just waiting for the customer to access programming at any given time. Direct TV is at a disadvantage here, as their video on demand platform relies on the customer. The subscriber must have their own high speed internet connection in order to access Direct TV on demand.

Now if you are mainly interested in HD content, then here is one place where satellite TV companies like Dish Network have a superior advantage. Direct TV currently offers more than 130 national HD channels, and local HD in over 90 percent of the county. With Comcast, the numbers vary quite a bit because the number of HD channels is dependent on if your particular area has been fully upgraded.

A final consideration is of course the prices that each company is going to charge you. Comcast often bundles their cable TV service along with high speed internet and phone service. These bundles can be a great deal, but the price often rises significantly after the promotion is over. With satellite TV, you can also find discounts for new customers during the first year, then prices revert to the regular price.

Heres a sample of what happened to me when moving from direct tv to comcast cable.

Just an update as to what I ended up doing should anyone want to know in the future. (I'm not trying to bump my post for attention or anything)

So, I decided to drop DTV and go with Comcast. I called DTV on Sunday the 22nd and told them I was going to cancel because I didn't want to pay $200 for the HD-DVR plus $20 for shipment of the reciever and $10 extra/month for HD service when I can get it cheaper with Comcast if I bundle with the their internet.

The DTV rep in their cancellations department offered me $75 off the price of the receiver, but I still found that to be steep, so I said I'd think about it and turned around and called Comcast and ordered their net and HD.

Comcast came out on Tuesday the 24th and installed my HD-DVR and internet. They are coming back out on Thrusday the 26th to rewire 3 of my cable jacks so I get a better signal.

I called DTV last night to cancel and the guy offered me $100 off the HD-DVR, no shipping fee and free HD programming for a year. Needless to say, I hesitated at this offer, but then cancelled anyway. He told me that I can always come back.

Well, I've only had Comcast for 1.5 days and am already wanting to change back to DTV.

To me, DTV's channel lineup makes more sense with how it's arranged, where as Comcast's channels are all willy-nilly and the locals are on completely different channels. I also don't like that I can't program my channels for surfing. If I want to surf, I have to switch between all channels, not just the one's I get or the ones on my favorite list. I can however, hit the "fav" button and it will go to the next favorite channel up but not down. I can also hit the fav button in the guide and see only my favorite channels in the guide. I think this is dumb.

I also started to setup my DVR to record shows and it will only record 1 show at a time. I was told by the tech that only one line has to come in to the reciever and it will split it automatically so I can record 2 shows at once or record one show and watch another. Apparently this is not the case. If I'm wrong and someone can explain this so I can have it tape ER and Private Practice for my wife tomorrow night, I would greatly appreciate it.

So, after they come out and rewire my three jacks for free tomorrow, I am going to call and setup DTV again (as long as I can still get the deal I was offered) and cancel Comcast's TV but I will still keep their internet as it is definately much better than AT&T's DSL.

Heres an interesting piece from yahoo answers.

First off, you will also have to pay additional price for the HD programming and DVR service but it's lumped into a HD/DVR package for like $79 a month I believe. However, you get about 40 more HD channels for the money than you do with Comcast. Plus they are channels you actually watch, including your locals, like ESPN, USA, TNT, Discovery, History, FUEL, TBS, MTV, Cartoon Network, etc etc.

Also, if your dish is installed correctly and has a decent signal strength then it will NOT go out when the wind blows or it's cloudy like these knuckleheads are saying. I've been a subscriber for almost 10 years, live in a T storm area, and I can count on 1 hand the number of times I've lost my signal. It has to be raining EXTREMELY hard, like can't see your hand in front of your face hard, to lose your signal and it comes right back when the rain slacks up in a minute or two.

Thirdly, Comcast customer service is HORRIBLE! I was on hold and cut off for almost 3 hours one night just trying to register a modem and you're lucky if you ever get anyone who speaks English. With DTV I've never been on hold more than a minute and whatever issue I had was resolved in minutes.

A video review of Dish Network vs Direct TV 2010.

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 05:52:30 +0000

Heres a nice review of dish network versus direct tv.

I found some interesting pieces on the net about the difference b2n direct tv and dish network and here they are.

I have been pricing the two. My local no name cable company gives so few HD channels...Heck so few standard channels it is like being robed.

So here is the problem. If I am viewing everything correctly. Right now Dish has more HD movie channels. But Direct TV is the only way to get the NFL Sunday ticket. My wife likes movies more and I love my Cowboys. Before the Saints won the Superbowl I wasn't that worried about it. But being in Shreveport, LA I am worried how that is going to effect the games they show. At some point last year the Local fox started having people vote on which to show if the network could only show one. The Saints only one one time and that one wasn't widely advertised. After that the Cowboys won the votes. Again I am worried how the Saints winning the Super bowl is going to effect the vote if they do that again.

Heres an interesting piece about Direct tv

Please , don't make the mistake i did . Don't go with DIRECTV!
CS lies and they will charge unreasonable charges. I KNOW FROM FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE. OVEROVEROVERPRICED!! LEARN FROM MY STUPIDITY. I WAS TOLD BE AT LEAST 10 EX DIRECTV CUSTOMERS I WOULD SORRY AND I SHOULD HAVE LISTEN.

Heres a good post about why direct tv is good.

You know one think I do like about Direct TV is you can look at how much your bill will be for each month of the 24 month contract before you sign up. But if you want me to take you seriously it is only fair you explain how you feel you were treated poorly. But of course at the end of the day all it boils down to is whether directv or dish cater to YOU. Directv has more for the sports enthusiast whereas Dish caters to the budget minded.

CHeck out the video below on the issue.
