Hi, I'm new to Directv after 7 years with Dish Network. I have two tvs in my basement man cave, one hooked up to the main Genie boxand the other to a genie mini client. I want to be able to use the same Harmony Remote to control both boxes. The installer said the mini client needed to be set...

Does the hopper or Joey take IR remote signal? I want to use my harmony one with it. Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

Is there a thread where I can learn more about what the RF modulator does and how it works? I'm not familiar with that. Do the hoppers or joeys take an or signal as well for use with universal remotes? Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

Thanks, KAB. What kind of remote does the Joey operate on? Can it be controlled from other rooms? Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

First time back in a while. I set up my house years ago with invaluable help from this community. Now I'm trying to upgrade to the Hopper. Here's the deal. I have 7 TVs, 4 HD that are primary use and 3 secondary SD only TVs that get limited use. Currently I have a 922, 622 and 222 at three...

I have two dishes on my house. One from way back when I originally got Dish that isn't connected anymore and the one now. I'm pretty sure that is Western facing, but how would I know?

Now, I'm getting no signal anywhere on Sat 129, including transponder 10. Makes no sense. What is this link saying? http://www.satelliteguys.us/thelist/index.php?search=dnall&market=Pittsburgh,%20PA&sub=true&sort=&order=&beamMap=CIEL2_SB26.jpg I don't even need to get locals from Pittsburgh...

All I'm saying is just keep looking the other way like they have been for the last 6 years.

Thanks, Iceberg. So complicated.

http://www.satelliteguys.us/thelist/index.php?search=dnall&market=Pittsburgh,%20PA&sub=true&sort=&order=&beamMap=CIEL2_SB26.jpg Am I looking at and thinking about this right? If I can just somehow convince a DISH tech to point my dish at Sat 129, I should be all set?

Seems like I'm getting a signal strength of 48 on 129, 26.

Can I just get them from 129, then?

Well this kind of sucks. I guess Dish just lost themselves a customer. I know "moving" is skirting the "rules", but for almost $150/month you'd think they'd make it easier for me to get whatever stinkin' local channels I want. I'm not a criminal, I just want to watch the Steelers every week...

@dare2be you're right. I left it on for a couple minutes and it is now showing a signal strength of 5 on 61.5, 29. Presumably this is not enough to get anywhere?

Sat 61.5, Transponder 29 seems to show 0 signal strength. Unless I'm not doing it right,.
