#1304367 - 11/17/10 06:28 PM Satellite Question
pwhittemore Satellite Coords Mod Registered: 09/06/05 Loc: NYC	I'm actually thinking of getting DirectTV. I live in New York--so there is some wind--and some rain and snow. But it's 10 dollars cheaper a month, I get more channels and the internet ( that comes packaged ) is 3 times faster. Is the threat of outages due to weather worth the channels, money saved and porn downloaded?

t_jayhawk suck it, asswipes Registered: 02/10/07 Loc: evansville, indiana	i've got dish network and love it. it has only gone out a couple of times when it is real windy. since i live in a tornado area that is probably not the greatest thing. but i don't care. i'm willing to risk my and my family's life for the wonder that is satellite tv. _________________________ today, you people are no longer maggots

pwhittemore Satellite Coords Mod Registered: 09/06/05 Loc: NYC	Oh man, these guys. So all this cheap stuff comes with a 2 year lock down...activation free, first 12 mos 15 dollars off but then you gotta pay full price. You end up paying more actually, for 2 years, albeit a very minimal difference ( 120 dollars ). So is having ESPNU (4 KU games on ESPNU this year) and 3 times the internet speeds worth losing 120 dollars, these 3 channels ( FX, AMC, Bravo ) and the threat of snow and wind cutting out the signal? I've got Satellite Questions! I need answers guys!

T_H_E Baby Jay Registered: 02/13/06	I had Dish for 9 years and really never had outage problems. Might lose signal for a couple minutes if rain is between me & satellite, but that's it. You can connect an outdoor antenna to the Direct TV receiver, and get your locals in HD rain or shine. This served as a suitable backup for outages. Cable now, switching to DirecTV soon. _________________________ 90% of this game is 50% mental ... the rest is all in your head.

pwhittemore Satellite Coords Mod Registered: 09/06/05 Loc: NYC	Thank you for those who answered my questions. I went with the Satellite. I'm getting it installed Saturday. Now, can someone get me the coordinates to the KU/OKSt game? Or is it rain delayed?
