A couple day’s ago Dish Network announces a bonus offer - “Get 130 extra channels FREE for three months”. Then Direct TV announced a bonus offer - “Get 50 movie channels FREE for three months”. This is in addition to the current promotions.

I thought the promotions were great already, but they keep battling for subscribers and we are the ones that win. Competition is alive and well and as always the customer comes out ahead with DISH and DIRECT.

This is a question emailed to me from Frank. on 3/15/05

We currently have a two receiver Direct TV System. One receiver is in our den and the other is in our motor-coach.

Would it be possible to upgrade only the Den to a Direct TV HDTV Receiver?
If so what is the cost?

We could not find any price quotes on your Web Site

1st amendment and distant local stations ban

» 1st amendment and distant local stations ban
Filed under:   Posted By: On A Mission @ 2:02 pm

The basis for the ban is some but not all local ABC, FOX, NBC station got congress to pass a law that gives network stations exclusive rights to network programming within their respective markets. In other words in you live in San Antonio you can only watch Who Wants to Marry a Complete Stranger from the local San Antonio station and not Los Angeles. It boils down to making sure the San Antonio station can continue to make money from the local Ford dealership when the network breaks away for local commercials. (more…)

I have a DishPro 301 and I want to know if the receiver will work oversees, specifically South america? They have Sky down where we are going but they do not offer USA Network TV and we want it. Can I take my Dish Network Receiver and or just my card and use it in their receiver or mine once they install theirs and point me to the right satellite?
