Questions????
• What is the
DIRECTV system?
The system consists of an 18-inch dish,
digital set-top decoder box and remote control. Equipment features
an innovative on-screen guide that lets users scan and select
programming choices order pay per view movies, set parental controls
and spending limits and customize their own channel lists with the
remote control and an on-screen menu. The system receives
programming from DIRECTV and USSB®, a complementary direct broadcast
satellite service that offers the premium movie services such as
HBO, Showtime, Cinemax or The Movie Channel.
• Should I
install it myself?
The hardware
is easy to install. The dish can be installed in almost any outdoor
location as long as it has an unobstructed view to the south.
Professional installation is readily available or it can be done by
handy do-it-yourselfers. A helpful on-screen satellite locator and
signal strength meter simplifies the dish positioning process. The
dish receives all programming from one position in the sky. Thus,
the dish remains in one place, minimizing maintenance and
eliminating the need for satellite tuning and repositioning.
• Can I
install the satellite dish inside my attic?
The system
requires an unobstructed view to the southern sky. Therefore, your
dish must be placed outside.
• What is
the purpose of connecting my receiver to my telephone line?
DIRECTV asks customers to connect a phone line to the receiver
for billing and ordering purposes only. This connection transmits
programming purchase information from the receiver. This important
link authorizes DIRECTV subscribers to order pay per view movies and
events with their remote control and get popular sports
subscriptions like NFL SUNDAY TICKETTM and NBA LEAGUE PASS™.
Customers who don’t have a continuous telephone connection are not
authorized to receive certain sports programming and must call
DIRECTV when ordering pay per view offerings. To cover the costs of
handling phone requests, DIRECTV applies a $5 service charge on
phone orders for pay per view movies and events.
• Will the
telephone connection interfere with regular telephone usage?
No. This connection does not interfere with your phone. A modem
inside your receiver makes a toll-free call to DIRECTV's computer
system in the middle of the night. If the receiver’s modem senses
that you are using the phone, it will try again later. The modem’s
call lasts just a few seconds.
• Why does
the system require an access card? How does it work?
The
access card, which comes with each system, acts as a "license plate"
for your system. It provides security and encryption information and
allows you to control the use of your system. The access card also
allows DIRECTV to capture billing information that is specific to
your account. The card contains a microprocessor that enables the
card to act as an auxiliary processor for your satellite
receiver.
• Can I
paint the dish?
It’s okay to paint your dish if you
don’t use lead-based or glossy paint. Glossy paint could damage the
Low Noise Block (LNB) converter by increasing the signal reflection.
Do not paint the LNB itself.
• Can
DIRECTV be connected to more than one television set in my
house?
Purchasing separate DIRECTV System receivers for
the various television sets in your home allows the flexibility of
watching different DIRECTV programs on different television sets. To
do so, you will need to purchase a dual DIRECTV System. The dual
DIRECTV System allows you to use additional receivers so members in
your household can watch different channels or pay per view programs
in different rooms at the same time. The second room receivers are
sold separately at retail outlets across the country. If all your
DIRECTV System receivers are connected to the same phone line, then
DIRECTV can mirror your subscription package for a nominal fee for
each additional DIRECTV outlet.
• How does
DIRECTV compare with cable?
DIRECTV has created a
programming service specifically driven to offer consumers more
choice and value for their entertainment dollar. DIRECTV combines
America's favorite cable networks, other popular networks not
available from most cable services, a pay per view movie service
with up to 55 choices of movies and special events every night, and
an unprecedented sports subscription lineup. No other system offers
as many quality program options. DIRECTV is also a more affordable
option on a per channels basis.

John Engler and the Legislature have compounded the problem by failing to align expenses and revenue. Instead, they've raided every standing pot of money they could find, and taken other onetime steps. Those tricks last only so long. Have already agreed to take the state's rainy day fund down to almost zero. That's what the fund is for, of course, but in a saner time had agreed that if the fund fell below a certain amount, they'd halt at least the single business tax. Chalk up another worthless promise. The few cuts they've discussed will cause multiple pain at the local level. They're at revenue sharing, the arts, preventive health, Focus: HOPE, economic development. Still has his hopes pinned on raising the cigarette tax. That would help the state dodge more budget cuts, but it's not nearly enough to bring long-term stability. Residents deserve better.
