RC - as far as I understand it, asking if you are bondable is a tricky way of asking if you have a criminal record or not. - Subversive - least conducive to reworking Nov 17, 22:10 5
- But that isn't one of those things you have to be tricky about. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 17, 22:18 2

MojaveMeg...Call Directv and ask what it would be for update on receiver box...get a DVD box and you can record programs on it also. -- nm - BAD Nov 17, 20:04 12
- DirecTV was quite probably the single most miserable consumer experience I've ever had. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 17, 21:05 1

        do you have a cable modem or a dail up, if cable then you have a network ready and waiting -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 17, 21:17 2
        
        DSL -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 17, 21:24 1
        
        All I had was DSL when they set up my directv. I do not have caller ID...give them a call and see what they can do for you... -- nm - BAD Nov 17, 21:43
