I keep my remote handy and just mute them. I mute all commercials when I bother to watch TV. The commercials have pretty much stopped my TV viewing. But congress has also passed a bill to limit the volume of the commercials over the volume of the programming and Obama has signed it...

Sniff sniff... Where was that link when I bought my dishes! I paid $200 CND for a Dish500 with the twin (instead of the $59 on that site).

If you order a DirectTV dish, you need to buy the LNB's. The DTV uses a square mount (instead of the Dish Network 1/2 moon mount). You can put DTV LNB's on a Dish arm, but not the other way around.

My 4700 came with a 24" dish, and I've had it for a long time. When the Bell guy came to install my Dish500 upgrade, he was drooling over it (he was hoping I'd be dumb and say -- sure take it away, I don't need it....) I didn't cave though. It works nice at our cabin farther north. BTW, if...

After my call to them about my extra $210 of install charges, they assured me it would be taken care of in a week. Instead of fixing it, they called this morning telling me my account is 55 days in the rears, and they threatened to disconnect my service. Had to get nasty, and then was put on...

Ok, so after I posted a complaint with the CRTC, and copy/pasted it to a complaint to Bell's abuse department, this is what happened: 1) Bell responded saying sorry, they'll fix it, but it will take 4 weeks since billing is a different department. 2) CRTC responded saying they didn't want to...

Well, I got a message back from Bell customer service appologizing for the problems, and he put in a request to have the $210+$25+interest credited. He did warn it could take 4-6 weeks though. :rolleyes: I like Bell's stuff, hate their service. I used to have Starchoice many moons ago, and...

Anyone having issues with the sound stopping on the 9242? I had it hooked up with HDMI at first and now with component / RCA for audio. In both cases, TV1 will sometimes drop audio until I reset the receiver, and then it's fine. It'll run for hours, and then drop again. Seems to be fine if...

I was watching CSI last night, and that pretty logo kept showing up. Oddly enough, it's displayed through the first couple of minutes of the opening show (before the intro rolls), and then after commercial break, there is 15 or so seconds of show before it pops up again. Not sure why they need...

I noticed that again last night. I thank Global or turning up the contast on their logo too. Nice and bright and white. If I watch enough Global shows, I should be able to get a perpetual global moon on the corner of my screen. :mad:

Problem with that theory is that after a month of no pay, their computer system will start calling you telling you your bill is unpaid, and then it automatically de-subs all your receivers. Then you'd have to call up, complain, and they'll turn them back on again. I had that problem with extra...
