Re: DISH TV - Locals
May have to move from DirecTV to Dish. (Love being able to record 5 channels at once w/DTV) But want more than 1 receiver to record with what the Wally HD will only do. I see the Hopper 3 won't work with the Portable dishes only the Wally. I wont to be able to record many more channels at one like the eHopper 3 will do. Sure could get the Hopper 3 with a regular dish antenna. Like I do now with DTV. Wally HD just doesn't offer enough for me.643Views0likes0CommentsRe: DirecTV dropping DNS

Any ideas why this is working for you? Did you have any trouble changing your service address to LA and did they want to come and set up a new dish? Did you just pick a generic address or do you have a property in LA? All most enlightening...675Views0likes0CommentsRe: DirecTV dropping DNS

What shows up on your receiver the local station ID like KCBS or CBSwHD, etc. If you are seeing KCBS that should only spot beam to LA area. If CBSw then that is DNS service. It would help to know you current location. If you are in LA area do you see both KCBS and CBSw channels? And if not in CA what is shown? Are you paying $20 extra for what is called on the bill Network Packages? Just trying to understand...675Views0likes0CommentsRe: DirecTV dropping DNS
I got fed up with this hoop-jumping and just switched my service address to Los Angeles, figuring that was the DNS service, and it turns out I was right. I don't care about literal 'locals', I just care about any network feed I can get. Do you get the LA feeds everywhere or just in the LA area?676Views0likes0CommentsRe: DirecTV dropping DNS
Has anyone called them to ask if they are going to make it easier to switch local channels via zip code? There is a phone number in the email to call with questions. OK I called and asked if they were going to make it easier to change to local channels when traveling. He understood and said that was a good question. I explained they know how many people have this service and that they will move to Dish if they don't do something so we can just call to change service. He took lots of time researching and came back with I would have to put in a move order to move my service address. I told him in the past I have been able to call with a new zip and it was changed. I asked if there was a special dept I should ask for when calling in? Didn't know of any. Told him he should take this up the line with employee suggestion so as to save thousands of customers. We'll see. Has anyone had success calling in to change local channels in the past?675Views0likes0CommentsRe: Help finding fresh date Tires

Heck, when I got my bus, the orig tires were already 6 months old. Hard to get close to manuf date, but my Toyo dealer did great. $2600, 6 tires, mount, balanced, and out the door. I went in w cash and negotiated, and got a deal $500 less than Michelin’s. I had my orig tires 6.5 years, started sidewall cracking and 22,000 miles. Cash is king. And again, look at Toyos. A pleasant surprise. I just got this week 6 Toyos 255 70R 22.5 M122 Load H tires in the Tucson area Out The Door for $2499 at a well respected local tire dealer for my 05 Monaco Cayman 36 PDQ DP.586Views0likes0Comments
