    DirecTV allows subs to drop locals

    This went downhill fast. Because my programming package changed from "Choice" to "Choice - no locals," the $50/mo credit I had until Feb 2025 was removed. The rep and supervisor in the loyalty department worked on it for a while and determined there was no way to re-apply it. As a result, I...

    Auto Racing 2024

    Depends on the rights fees they are paying . Is it overpriced like the MLB, NHL and soon the NBA, or way underpriced, where the Network can make a profit, even with the reduced advertising rates the Networks/Cable Channels are receiving in today’s world. But I would agree, it is not a bad...

    Auto Racing 2024

    Palou takes the Indy Grand Prix. Competition up front wasn't all too competitive. Power' pit crew got him in front of Lungaard for second. Colton Herta proved resolve, finiahing in the top 10 after starting 24th. Only one yellow in the entire race, so the action was nonstop, and pitting gimmicks...

    Auto Racing 2024

    It is an incredible rating for race car driving for an F1 race of little consequence. Daytona and Indy beat it, but that is probably it.

    Auto Hop?

    I just recently started to get popups asking if I want to use AutoHop or not. I like this feature, but is there a way to make it permanent instead of asking each time I start a recording?

    Latest CME causing issues with satellites?

    Been a rainy year. Last year was drier than ever about this time. Effects of these MCEs depend heavily on how they intersect with our magnetic field when they arrive. Simply having that magnetic field is very protective and diverts away most of the energy in most circumstances, but there are...

    OTHER LNB parameters

    I’m in North America, I would never get past 58W because of the mountains to the east of my location. I’ll try 10600 and turn on the 22kHZ. Thank you for the reply!

    What can you do if you don’t want to drill holes in your roof for a satellite dish or cell booster?

    A good RV can cost as much as a small house. That’s why I understand why some folks wouldn’t want to go crazy with a drill when mounting electronics. On the other hand, RV mechanics and installers aren’t cheap either. That’s why you might think about doing it all yourself. What if there were a...

    Time for a new DECA?

    Somewhere in your DIRECTV setup is a device that connects to the internet. If you have a Genie DVR, you might connect straight to that using a cable or using Wi-Fi. However, for many people, the internet connection comes from a separate box. That box is called a DECA. What does a DECA do? A...

    Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

    Yep, but still 1600-1700 years before Heston arrives. The ship's chronometer said November 25, 3978 in the very first movie. Unless the Apes’ movies are now part of the multiverse and everything has changed.

    OTHER LNB parameters

    Your receiver should have a setting for a Universal 9750/10600 LNB. On the other hand, if you're trying to receive strictly North American satellites, you could set it to just 10600, and make sure to turn the 22kHz signal to On. The dual-band setting is only necessary for a few satellites...

    DIRECTV Transponder Map ~ Data 5/8/2024

    It's curious to me that Minneapolis has somehow survived all the way to the end of this project. I understood NY, due to both size and, I presume, that the SD locals are used in commercial environments - airplanes particularly.
