I have an old single LNB (18-inch round) dish and will be in a place without internet or cell coverage this weekend and I need BTN (CH 610) and possibly the alternates. Does anyone know which satellite I should point it at? If I can only get an SD signal, it's ok, I'll live. I will have an HD...

Of course! Who doesn't VPN in from Brazil on a regular basis? I know it's the first thing I do every day...

Thanks for sharing your experiences, maybe I'll call back in a few weeks and see if there's a new offer they come up with.

So I saw my Sunday Ticket renewed with my last bill, and decided it was time to make my annual call to "Cancel." Usually this results in a reduced price offer and I end up keeping it...not this time! They didn't even ask why I wanted to get rid of it, and made zero effort to keep me. They...

The technician swapped out the BBC's and installed a new switch, but swapped back to my old switch when it did not help (SAM 6802 6x8 Multiswitch), we did not, however, change which box was hooked up where to see if the problem would follow. However, the problem is the same on all 3 boxes, just...

I've had a technician look at this for several hours and the hypothesis is that this is a software issue, but here's what it's doing. I have a slimline dish and 3 receivers (2 DVR's and an HD Receiver). Receivers: HR24-200 HR20-700 H20 The issue is this: the HD signals for many channels...

Thank you Chuck W, did you physically take the hard drive out of the HR20 and put it into the HR24? And would it play the programming? or would it simply give the error message and not play the programs at all? Thanks!

So I am deactivating my HR20-100 in favor of the new 3d capable dvr, and I decided to call tech support to see if there was a way to transfer my recordings from the HR20-100 to the new receiver. The answer I received was peculiar. It started with "unfortunately.....", which is what I expected...

I may be going to the UK for a year, and I'm wondering if there is a way to get Dish Network or Directv in the UK. Specifically, I want the Big Ten Network and the ESPNs. Any Advice?

Thanks for the suggestion Bob, I'll check that out. You're correct, I definitely want to use an H20 to feed multiple televisions, not multiple receivers. Thanks

Thanks, guess I'll seek out another strategy here.

Thanks Harsh, that's pretty clear cut. Is there a way to put a split the signal after the multiswitch? Or is there no possible way to feed 2 jacks with the same receiver? Thanks in advance.

I'd like to use an H20 with an RF Remote to feed several cable jacks. is it possible to use the following configuration: Single cable from dish (5 lnb dish so therer are a total of 4 cables, I'd only want to hook one up to the H20) ---------->H20------>6 x 8 Multiswitch------->several cable...

playback freeze for recorded programs For the first time ever, I had a recorded program I was watching freeze twice and was unable to restart it without a reboot. I was watching a basketball game and was fast forwarding through commercials, timeouts, etc. twice in the first half it then froze...

I wasn't in a commitment and called and upgraded 3 receivers last week. I got 2 HR20-100's and an H20 for $125 after tax and shipping, and a 2 year commitment.
