Why do you guys go against everything I ask for?

I don't know what is wrong with this company. Everything I have ever requested has been the complete opposite of what I have requested. I asked to have TV service canceled at the end of the promo contract. Instead it's still running and I'm being charged the full price even after I requested. Oh yea

You guys are unbelievable

Besides myself, thousands of Colorado Avalanche fans have missed the first two games of our beloved Avs.  And they won both games.  I would think we would have liked to have seen it.  Thanks for your incredible service and concern for us (sarcasm is for free).

What is needed to connect a stand alone box?

I have a friend with a cabin in the mountains. He has the Genie at his permanent residence, but he supposedly has a stand alone set top box.  We tried to connect it to both a standard "round" dish and an HD oval dish and it does not work.  Obviously not both dishes at the same time.

I've been an AT&T customer for 4 or 5 months now, give or take, and so far I am not remotely impressed with the quality of service. Aside from the internet going out more frequently than is acceptable, and being the only TV provider I've ever heard of whose media gateways don't automatically reset a
