    Signal a bit worse each year

    At camper, dish is on an old large tree - for 4 years now. The 101 signals are still in the 90's but the HD signals are now mostly in the 60's when they were in the 70's and 80's couple of years back. Any suggestions regarding how to TWEAK the dish to recapture better HD signals ?

    Is there logic/explanation for this ??

    I have the setup shown in the pic. I have the signal for the powered A/V Amplifier going to an old non-HD small TV in the kitchen. It works ONLY IF the HDTV at the amplifier is TURNED ON. If I turn that TV off, and the Directv controller remains on, then all I get is a BLANK screen on the...

    How lame is this ???

    I have searched the forum and found many posts regarding the non-functioning of the the Caller ID/Call log. I have a H24-100 and it works fine for the Caller ID. I also have a H25-100 and the Caller ID setup looks exactly the SAME. The option is there just like on the H24. YET, it simply...

    I'm sounding off - Comments welcome

    I keep getting Charter/Spectrum cable service reps BANGING on my door! I have patiently told them before that I CANNOT change my Directv service BECAUSE I use it at both my home AND camper - and THEY have no comparable service! My question to you experts is: do you ever see Directv somehow...

    HD Directv and Sanyo SD TV

    Having a bit of a snafu. Trying to connect an H24-100 to a Sanyo SDTV. The Directv box has no S-Video, only AV and HDMI. I have tried the AV hookup but am getting no signal - just a 'snow' screen. The TV has only a few settings and it is set to receive signal from Cable. I believe this...

    This is very WEIRD

    Have 2 HD boxes. Signal looks strong (On SWM). If I go to a music channel (e.g., 802) on main TV, the music annoyingly "SKIPS". The same music on the 2nd TV (at the same time) does NOT skip. The sound from the 2nd TV is directly from the TV. The sound on the main TV is from an attached...

    Defective SD Box ?

    I have a SWM 5 setup with one H24-700 (working fine) and one d12-100. The SD box needs either a reset/restart from the menu OR pull of power plug EACH day, even tho power and box remain on overnight. The sd box has both an av and s-video connection. Sometimes, it takes an entire SYSTEM...

    Sorry, But I can't remember

    Brought my SD and HD receiver up to camper. Hd works fine, can't get d12-100 to work, although I am getting some 101 signals with S-video connection to tv and that is selected on the TV. I have a true SWM 5 setup, and it worked last year for the SD, but ....

    Fine tuning to best of my ability

    What's on HD 103 ca vs. HD 103 cb vs. HD 99 ca vs. HD 99 cb? I believe the 99 s and the 103 s are for HD locals. My location is Green Bay, WI

    SWM reading on D12

    I have SWM set up with a H24 and a D12. When I check signal strengths on the D12, I see that a "SWM" satellite signal reading comes up. Is there any significance to that reading of signal strengths?

    Switching Configuration but no signal

    Had a good camper (PineGrove, WI) setup (signals in the 90's) of my phase-3 dish. Just dropped the slimline with 5ln swm onto the good anchored mast. Have all of the proper SWM HD "adapters" in-line as well. However, cannot get any 101 signals at all ??? I have no specials meters other than...

    2 boxes at Camper

    At camper I have one long run (100') from a tree mounted dish. I plan to just split the signal right before connecting to Sat1 and Sat2 (both "home-runs inside - to bedroom and living room) located outside camper. Originally, I now have a just an oval dish and will use that for a few weeks...

    Can I get Directv on two controllers in my camper

    I have one long cable running from the dish on a tree to the pre-wired satellite system input on the outside of the camper Satellite connection, and into the controller located at the camper living room (working fine). I have Directv working on that 1 controller I have there now. If I put a...

    Camper Pre-wired

    New camper is pre-wired for satellite. From my dish it connects into the outside of the camper. I have the Directv box set in the front room and get the signal on that TV. Other than splitting/running a cable from that Directv box over to the TV in the bedroom, OR buying another Directv...

    No locals on oval phase 3 w D12-100

    Using 211/35/70 per the setup prompt. Getting high 90's for 101 with both odd and even checked. But, getting 0's on 119 and red X for odd and even on system test. Am I out of luck or is there hope or anything I can still try to get the locals too?

    Does Dish Type really matter to the D12-100 ?

    Trying to replace an 18 round with a 3LNB Oval Phase III 20LNBR1-03. Originally, D12 box said I had a slimline 5 - which was not an issue with the 18 round which was working fine. However, I could not get a single with the Oval, and I tried to see what 'settings' may be different, so I tried...

    Can't order PPV and Caller-ID not working on one box

    I just talked with DirecTV Tech Support and they did not help. Once I told them I was on the MagicJack PLUS, they started using that for the reason! Yet, I used all the old land line phone lines which went to each controller box, and re-routed the AT&T end of those line over the Magicjack on...
