Satellite Tv Knowledge Base
satellite tv? I live in a 2 family flat. If I install satellite tv will my neighbor use it also (she steals from us), or does it only work if you have the reciever?
Satellite TV? I currently have a bundled service with my cable company (phone, Internet, and TV). I am dissatisfied with the high cost of cable and poor service (always going out). Can I replace all 3 services with Satellite? Also, I have 4 TV's. Do I need to buy a separate receiver for each TV if I want to view a different channel on each? Are receivers expensive? Will I save money in the long run?
Satellite tv ? Most companies now offer satellite tv connections. Very often i have heard that the images are DVD quality clear. But is it true that when its very overcast/cloudy the connection becomes very unclear? Whats the reason for this? (ofcourse i know that it might be because signals emitted from the satellite cant force its way through the thick layer of clouds- but i need a more scientific answer)
How to get satellite tv into another room? I have cable tv wired throughout my house. The cable has been cancelled and we now have satellite. The satellite tvs (2 of them) have their own new wires that were installed and they are both near the outside of the house. I want to know if I can get the satellite reception on one of the interior rooms without adding a receiver (the same signal I get on one of the tvs is ok). Any ideas?

Hi, I'm wondered,if there is a way to watch satellite tv channels for free in the US without beign a subscriber to a local cable or Satellite TV company> I've been to Europe and my friends had some kind of pirate-made cards for receivers to watch satellite tv for free. Could I buy a satellite system over Ebay? If yes, could someone suggest me any decent satellite systems on the market? Thank you
What are the advantages of cable TV vs satellite TV? We're thinking of getting cable. We've had satellite TV and we're pleased with it for the most part, but in this part of the country (Oklahoma) we get a lot of thunderstorms and even a shower can sometimes make the satellite go out, and we're getting real tired of it. Is cable TV underground? If so, would it be advantageous to us to get cable?

I have a question about Satellite TV or whatever its called? Well whenever my family buys a house (they are planning to anyway) my mom would like to purchase Satellite TV or whatever you call it the dish that goes up on your roof with MTV etc...well if we get the service from Qwest or DishNetwork or DirecTV and then we purchase a seperate dish with some other channel service well my mom's friend had a dish with the words "DirecTV world" and she has Filipino channel. I was wondering if you buy the regular dish package then we decided to purchase that same channel too (Filipino channel, but I forgot what its called, T??) would it also cost for that service or would it be included with the other Cartoon Network, etc dish would we have to pay like 19.99 or 29.99 for that channel too? Just wondering because we haven't had dishes like that before so we dont have experience with it. Also if we bundle with Qwest (MN) with the TV, phone, and Internet would it be cheaper or more expensive? It is ninety nine dollars from what i hear.
Can a wireless cable modem interfere with satellite tv? I just had installed a wireless cable modem and it sits within 1 foot of my satellite receiver box. The receiver has since been constantly losing signal, while my other tv in another room with it's own receiver has been doing fine. I have tried to power down both the modem and the satellite receiver with no luck. Any solutions?
Do you still have to use a phone line to get satellite tv? I love my digital HD cable, but I'm pondering a move outside the city where satellite will be my only option. My question is this: Do the satellite companies still require you to have a phone line connected to your receiver? While I'm asking a question about satellite tv, your opinion on DISH vs DIRECTV would be appreciated. Keep in mind that getting HD channels (even local channels) is extremely critical to my decision. Also, I will want to get my Internet connection from whichever company I go with, too. So I guess there are really three questions in here: 1. Do the satellite companies still require a phone line? 2. Do you prefer DISH or DIRECTV, and why? 3. What about their Internet options? Thanks for your answers.
Is there any genuine satellite dish I can get from the Internet to receive hundreds of tv channels worldwide? Subscribing to Cable TV services has become more expensive in my country in Singapore! It costs about US$50 a month for the full package! No kidding! Therefore, I decide it was not worth paying for it anymore and decide to install a satellite dish instead in order to watch hundreds of tv channels worldwide. I saw several satellite dishes on sale from ebay but I'm not sure if it will work if I purchase a satellite dish from ebay! I'm afraid it will not allow me to receive hundreds of channels worldwide and just act like an ordinary local antenna! Is there any genuine satellite dish I can get from the Internet to receive hundreds of tv channels worldwide? I don't really mind about the price if I'm able to watch Satellite TV for life after a one-time payment! I was not looking for any Satellite PC software! I just want it live on my television! Your recommendations are greatly appreciated!
How much does it cost to get broadband via phoneline and satellite tv in Russia? Preferably always on broadband. Not dial up. If someone just bought a regular satellite dish and hooked it up on say the balcony of an apartment would you get English language tv channels in Russia? I guess you can also get English lanuage tv via a cable provider (non-dish)? Can you get internet via on of those little portable modems that you plug into your laptop? Any idea of the prices? Thanks
What are the best cable/satellite TV and high speed internet providers in Pasadena, CA? Hello everyone. I'm moving to Pasadena, CA (91101) from the Midwest toward the end of this month. In the Midwest, we have Charter for Internet and though the actual speed is great, the customer service and reliability has been an issue. We have Charter for regular cable TV as well, but we want to make the switch to HD service. How's satellite service (Dish Network or Direct TV) in the area? Thanks!
Has anyone been able to set up TIMED recordings from satellite TV program to a VCR? Main issue here is setting up for timed recordings; in other words, taping programs (including programs on different channels) without the user intervention (aside from setting up the programming of the VCR timer). It doesn't sound like this is possible. Most of the Satellite TV-to-VCR questions appear to be related to real-time taping, where the user presses the record button on the VCR to tape the immediate broadcast. Also, the question pertains only to VCR recording, not the built-in DVR recording which is provided with some services.
Whats the best way to switch to satellite tv? I currently have cable. Its pretty good but I don't really get a lot with the service. I keep getting ads in the mail about really good deals when you switch to satellite tv. I was wondering if these were a good way to get into the satellite world or whether I should just go directly to the satellite companies themselves as the ads seem to be from contractors. Also which of the two is better DishNetwork or Directv? I don't have hd so that doesn't matter. I would however like a DVR. Thanks
How to hook up satellite receiver, Panasonic surround sound to a samsung lcd tv? So the surround sounds works when we are playing dvds but it won't work when we are watching our satellite tv. I don't know the right terms for the cables or anything so if you could dumb down the cords to like colour of cords! That would be great! Or if someone has a diagram that would be helpful that would be great too! None of the instructions in the manuals are helpful!!!

Does the telephone connection to my satellite TV (Directv) DVR have to be filtered if I have DSL? I have DSL. Each phone jack inside the house has a filter supplied by the telephone company. I am dropping a new telephone jack to my satellite TV (Directv) DVR. I would like to hard wire this up in the attic. But that would mean the telephone dial tone connected to my DVR would not be filtered. Is this OK, or does the Satellite TV telephone connection also have to be filtered if I have DSL?
Anyone know how I can get legally free cable or satellite TV? OK, my credit sucks, I owe the only digital cable place in town from like 5 years ago, and my family due to raising costs is barley getting by. So, does anyone know how we can get legally free cable or satellite TV? Broadcast television may be free, but come next Feb., everyone will have to have either a box or a new TV. We got the 2 boxes we were allowed with the vouchers, but come to find out we now need to purchase a Smart Antenna. Would rather just get cable or satellite TV.

Can anyone tell me about installing satellite TV for a living? I am looking for a job change and now work in warehouse maintenance. Right now I am looking into a job as a satellite TV installer but it almost sounds too good to be true. This guy tells me you can make like 70,000 a year and anyone who can pass a background check is pretty much in. What is the catch?
How can I watch cable or satellite tv on my television for free without a cable or satellite receiver or box.? I want to be able to watch cable or satellite channels without having to pay the huge bills that I pay right now to Dish Network. I want to be able to watch the channels for free on my television. Also I live in Arizona and would love to be able to see all the live NFL games on Sundays for free on my tv or on my computer as long as I get a clear crisp picture on the computer because on the computer, I noticed that the pics get blurry sometimes even though I do have high speed internet. Watching on a television is much clearer and crisper. Why is that? Email me the details. Thanks

Will Congress and Senate ever agree on a more consumer choice oriented Cable/Satellite tv law? They debated about forcing Cable and Satellite companies to give consumers choice about the channels they wanted instead of Consumers being forced by cable and satellite companies to pay for channels they never watch. Do you think this will be a pipe dream forever or will the government step in to give consumers more rights? The local cable company has a nice basic cable package with about 25 channels but half of them I wouldn't even watch so I still get my TV over the air. I don't see the point in paying for channels I won't watch.
What is the best program for receiving satellite tv programming on your PC? Are the channels available through satellite to your PC the types of channels that most people wouldn't be interested in?

I am wondering whether any of the programs might be able to provide some of the channels. Thanks
