    DirecTV equipment question - exploring my options

    Just got my February bill and it raised by about $8. El_Viejo Besides the Feb raise, they raised the protection package about 6 months through the year.

    AMIKO Amiko Nano HD vs Mini HD

    I have used the firmware for the Micro HD on my NANO HD receiver and it works just fine. My question now is when did they rename the NANO HD to MICRO HD????? They don't list a NANO hd on their list now at all. This is not an SE model!!!!

    Fix Your OpenBox S-9 For 58 Cents

    I have already done this. But, I do have another option for those whose HDMI connector has quit. You can use the component connectors, red, blue, green, just fine for 1080 HD. JMHO E_V

    Customer Service HORRIBLE

    I have tried talking to them by phone, but can't get by their 'can you do this, can you do that' screen directive. I just need to have 2 receivers (SD) replaced and all 4 of my remotes which are original. Got aggavated and hung up. A few days later I received an email asking about my experience...

    AMIKO Amiko Nano HD vs Mini HD

    Tnx for the input, guys. In checking back, I find that I was comparing the wrong 2 receivers. I should have said has anyone tried the firmware for the Micro HD on the Nano HD? They have to many different ones I got mixed up. E_V So, the question is: Has anyone tried the firmware for the Micro...

    Has anyone tried using the latest firmware upgrade for the Mini HD on a Nano HD? E_V

    Why do audio levels vary so much?

    It is just very poor engineering practices depending who is on the board running things. Same way with color, you get what the engineer on duty likes to watch. E_V

    Converting a 90 cm dish to a 1.2m dish

    I obtained a Prodlin 1123, 1.2m dish from an old Aldi's store for $75 with owner and his son took it down. It is fiberglass and it was tx/rx unit put together by Hughes. I now use it on 99W C/band. E_V

    Say good bye (Or maybe HELLO) to EBRU

    Ebru is displaying a banner saying: "On December 31, 2014, EBRU tv will no longer be available to Free-to-Air satellite viewers. Watch EBRU tv on DIGII.TV, ROKU, RCN basic cable and Dish Network." I am sad to see this fine channel go away from FTA. E_V

    Satellite Transitions Occuring This Weekend! 8/24/14--Postponed

    What am I missing here? I thought SES-3 was to replace AMC-1. Isn't DTV using it for their Ka stuff? Or are they wanting to park SES-3 along side AMC-1? Their SWM dish is for 99, 101, and 103. I guess the owners of SES-3 didn't get the blessing of DTV!!! Oh, well, so gos FTA, here today and...

    Aldi Dish

    Hey, guys, I got it Saturday. Yes, it is a Prodelin series 1123, a 1.2m with an Atraxx NPRM, which is 6.5' by 6.5' square. Now to make a bracket to mount a proper lnb on it, be it Ku or C/band. E_V

    F\T service? Or F/T service? What's That??!!

    How about services provided thru Globecast World TV? E_V

    Solution to losing date/time in FTA 12-volt receivers!

    Typically, these 'eye' tubes, 6U5 or 6E5, were mounted with the gap at the bottom. So the stronger signals would complete the display at the 6 o'clock position. E_V

    SES-3 On soon?

    They surely knew that DTV had those claims/controls when they launched this bird!!!!! IMHO E_V

    FCC Says you CAN put up that antenna - HoA can't stop you (FCC OTARD reference)

    You can put it on a tripod, for instance, on your balcony, etc. And yes they may not stop you, but as an old saying goes, they can make you wish you hadn't!!! If you're willing to fight for your rights, go for it. E_V

    FCC law regarding ALL video receiving antennas, i.e. OTA, FTA, DBS, etc.

    Thanks! E_V This is for those with stubborn HOAs or Landlords or even towns.

    Adding a second dish... Thoughts & recommendations desired...

    The Invacom is overkill for just PBS. Get a simpler standard, (not universal) lnb for that dish and use the Invacom on the new dish. With all its options you could find more sats to watch. IMO E_V

    AMIKO Amiko Nano HD Firmware 1.1.91: Youtube fix

    There is a problem with this version that I have found. Sometimes when you select EPG, it will reboot the receiver, (Nano HD). E_V

    Amiko Nano and Ku Band

    That is normal for that receiver. It has to do with some standard carry over from Europe. Sorry. E_V

    Cannablizing Dish parts

    There is not that much difference in the size of them to make any noticiable difference in signal received. IMO, I wouldn't tear one apart just to try and use the larger dish. Use them both!!!! E_V

    n00b: Polar/HH Mount vs. Azimuth and Elevation??

    The 1 meter Winegard is built like a tank. If you can use a 1 meter. I have had mine about 4 months and really like it. E_V

    Hello From Amiko In Budapest Hungary

    I have the Nano HD and it will get channels that my Openbox S9 won't. Really enjoyed the quick tour of the facility, thanks. Waiting on the update software for YouTube for the Nano. E_V
