Default Installer is at my House and says 74 HD channels are live!

Hey guys,

He finally got out to my house and is currently on the roof installing the dish. I asked him about the delay for the sept 19th channels. He says they are active and that 75 HD channels are working. Says that I will see them all when he gets done.

Ill believe it when i see it.

Ill keep everyone updated.

I think if that was true, this place would be literally jumping with activity.

Default Installers often have no clue...

My experience over the years with D* installers is that they all have VERY different levels of knowledge. Some are true experts, while others know less than I do.

IF those 74 channels are "live" then we'd be seeing fireworks in this and other forums....


BUT... it is strange that he came up with such a specific number.. perhaps he meant the HD channels can be seen with a special card.. I've heard it referred to as "engineering mode" testing...

Make sure you have him show you all these channels before he leaves and then.
Let us know what he says when he cant find the 75 HD channels.

Perhaps he meant to say that channel 74 is an HD channel (which it is btw).

Amen to that. And often, their knowledge is VERY limited.

My installer was Jimmy Hoffa and he landed in a spaceship then gave me a blue unicorn.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

Well we know THAT'S a lie....

Because if I had Jessica Alba standing naked in front of me, the LAST thing I'd be doing is sitting here typing on a keyboard!!
