What type/model receiver you have? I have a 7 1/2ft winegard that I still use alongside a 36" ku band dish for wildfeeds, backhauls, and live feeds when storm chasters are out and about
I'll shoot that info to you later in a PM, after I get back from my primary Doctor and then got to go to my Spine Specialist for some decisions that him and I have to discuss and figure out what and how each of us (him and I) can formulate an agreeable plan......just talking/texting about it floods my Anxiety and depression...
Back to the original thread topic:
I've had friends and family (including myself) that has tried using DirecTV and Dish network digital satellite TV...
- it is not very reliable when it is raining outside when the rain starts coming down in a medium non-stop down pour (screen signal starts getting blocked, TV show starts freezing up and becomes block, until you completely lose the SAT signal! This happens for all Digital Satellite TV companys every since the beginning)
- Depend on the Satellite TV company, when you lose your weather induced lose of television, you are given 3 options: 1- watch something on your DVR, 2- turn your TV off & find something else to do
3- this option is the one that might really get under your skin! but this 3rd option is to use your "Dish-on-Demand" which will work only if you have cable(or dsl) internet service.... note: SAT DL / phone land line UL will not work (note: I'm going off of older info on this, but haven't heard of any new news on the matter)
So with option 3, if you are a DirecTV customer with cable internet connection, they piggyback/use your internet connection everytime you use "on demand". I don't guess it is too bad since they are practically the same company/group... But if you are using DishNetwork, they do the same thing but don't cut any breaks on price when they offer "On Demand" but don't bother to tell their customers that they are using your own separate cable internet connection to give you "on demand" which is straight up BS....
Running late for my appointments... Just wanted to point this stuff out
I'll shoot you a pm later when I get home Meatwad. ~S~
