    Install issues and advice

    Hey guys its been a while. Back in 2011 I left D* after 15 years for AT&T Uverse. I was happy with the service, and had relatively few issues. Last week I called to do the promo merry-go-round and I was told, matter of factly, Uverse was being phased out.(true or not who knows) So they gave...

    OK, Time to rant....sorry!

    I'll do my best to keep this short.... I was going to wait and post about this after all was fixed, but I am not sure that will happen anytime soon! This Thursday, a D* tech will come to my house for the 10th time in 30 days. It all started when I was getting a 'searching for sat signal'...

    Band Pass Filter?

    I am told this is used to block a receiver from 'seeing' shared DVR's in a MRV environment. If so, if one of these were installed at the dish, would it completely block MRV from working at all, or just cause havoc? Thanks!

    No surround sound for me!

    The optical audio is not working anymore on my older HR20. Is this a reason to replace it. I do have the protection plan, but don't want issues, since they were just here for another problem and replaced an old H20 on Monday. Not to mention, I have been having issues with a R10 Tivo...

    Searching for signal....

    Getting this on (so far) every channel. I have signals in the 90's on 101, 110, and 119, but 0's on the 99 & 103. This is only happening on one receiver (H20). Could this be a b-band converter failure? I am trying to find a extra one I had to test it. Thanks in advance!

    Old Tivo box died!

    I have an old Tivo box, that I used for my kids, which my daughter came to tell me it was not working this morning. After checking it out, it looks like it finally died, it wont power up at all. It is several years old, so I am not surprised. I have the protection plan with D*, but am not sure...

    Remote issues

    I have a new RC64, that D* just sent me about a month ago. I was programming it the other day for my new TV and it quit working. I have tried to reset it (select/mute 00001) but to no avail. I did change batteries and all the lights flash when buttons are pressed. Any suggestions? Its for use...

    On Demand.... Lesson Learned

    Last week I bought a new 52" Samsung LCD. So far I am in love. However, Friday night I decided to download a 1080p movie from D* on demand. I started the download and at 40% complete we started to watch. After a while the movie stopped. I assumed at first that we caught up with the download. I...

    Problem with H20

    Over the last couple days, I have been experiencing a recurring issue with my H20-100, where I get a searching for sat signal on 103 & 119 sats. A RBR fixes the issue for a short time. Any ideas?? It is an older H20, so I would not be surprised if it is starting to fail. Thanks in advance!

    Time Warner Commercial

    This might be old news, but I thought it was funny. I am watching the Royals v. Mariners game (MLBEI) via FSN KC. A Time Warner commercial come on and the guy says the D* DOES NOT HAVE HD programming on demand. So I went to my OD screen and chose high def, and guess what I found......;) Damn...

    Splitting an OTA feed

    I have been trying off and on over the years to split my OTA antenna feed for a second TV. Never really mattered before, but now I would love it to work. I get great signal on one TV, but as soon as I split it, no signal on either TV's. I have tried a few different kinds of splitters, but none...

    So I switched to AT&T Uverse TV..........

    .......and after 2 days plugged my D* boxes back in. I am not going to bad mouth Uverse. They are trying. I really wanted it to work, as the total price for TV and Internet is the same as what im paying for D*. I gave it a week on 2 TV's. But on my main HD(DVR) and an SD, I could never get it...

    I have been having issues with the DVR since the last software update. Before the update, everything was perfect, not a single issue. After the update; While watching a recorded program, sometimes it will just lock up. I then have to restart the program and FF to the spot it stopped. Sometimes...
