Ok, I recently upgraded from a whole home HR24 Protection plan refurb replacement POS to a new HR54 and two mini-genies. I kept a H25-700 for my camper, and the installer said it would require a SWM LNB, and sold me a power inserter and SL3 SWM LNB for $20 off of his truck before he left. I...

So after my HR22 was replaced (bad HDD) under the protection plan earlier this year with a HR24 and I went through this back then. My trusty owned H23-600 in the bedroom; the output on the HDMI stopped working. They send me a H24-700, guess what? it needs a B-Band Converter with my non-SWiM...

What transponders / sat are the Houston locals on? I've lost only the Houston Channels on all my ird's, signal lost. But every other channel is ok. No I haven't "moved" or anything. 101 Sat showing 97-100 all TP's except TP 18 which is 0 99c Sat is 91-96 all TP's 99s Sat is 0's except for...

I currently don't have the Whole Home DVR or Genie. DirecTV recently offered to upgrade me to the Genie and three mini-Genies for free, but I turned it down because my wife did not want to lose some recordings on our current DVR. I have a HR22, an H23, two H21's, and some non-HD IRD's. I...

My H23-600 said searching for sat signal this morning, all other receivers on that dish are working ok. After some troubleshooting and wire-switching determined that I have either a bad LNB output on the SL5 LNB or a bad wire/connection between the LNB and the weatherproof junction box on the...

Got a letter today: The DIRECTV Protection Plan is going up to $7.99 a month effective Oct 4, 2012. But I'll get a $2 credit on each monthly bill until my "initial" 12-month period ends? I've had the protection plan since at least 2003/2004, :confused: unless it automatically renews...

After helping others do this, I finally made myself a Phase III Dish set-up with a SL3 LNB to carry around in my camper: The newer Phase III dishes use the same 2" OD mount that the slimline dishes do, so I had to find an older Phase III dish with the smaller 1 5/8" OD mount to fit my...

Buddy took a H21-100 camping with his RV. He had a Slimeline Dish with a SWiM SL5 he picked up from somewhere. He ran one wire directly from the LNB to the receiver, receiver detected the SWiM LNB, and everything worked ok, but he had a message in the set-up page when he checked his signal...

My 2+ year old HR22-100 took the HD GUI update just fine and had been working great. But found out this evening that I can't record and watch another channel at the same time, or record two shows at the same time. System check shows that both tuners have a 90+ signal on both, anyone else...

I've never messed w/ a commercial account, or known anyone who has. Buddy spent 20 years in the Army, got out, moved back to town and opened up a bar/sports bar in our small town. There is/was only one other bar in town. He never had a Satellite account before, only cable. Building he...

Sorry to sound like a newb, I haven't messed with Dishnetwork Dishes in years. Buddy has a grey Turbo HD dish, wants to purchase a second dish for camping, etc. I assume here in South Texas he's looking at 110/119/129 sats. What is the difference between the "black" turbo HD dishes and...

Went camping for the first time in over 5 years with our used pop-up ( new to me ) used my old non-HD dish set-up. The old Sony Dish is more compact and uses a smaller od pipe mount than the standard 18" model Need to re-start my Phase III dish project with SL3 LNB so I can have HD soon while...

Buddy down the road was upgraded to HD a few months back, called me today, he is losing all his HD channels, either breaking up or searching for signal. Went to his house, signal test good on 101/110/119. 103/99 however only had low 40's and signal was not steady. Dish is a SL5 mounted on...

So the SATELLITE TELEVISION EXTENSION AND LOCALISM ACT OF 2010 passed, what does this mean for us DirecTV customers? The Dishnet peeps are sure talking about it. What does this mean for significantly viewed locals? did anything change?

A buddy wants to put a SL3 LNB on a older 12x24" Phase III dish to take with his RV. I looked up some of the posts with the pictures but have a question? Is it best to cut the "groove" and seat the SL3 all the way in the LNB holder? I saw posts that did it both ways. One post said they got the...

I'm a longtime rural DirecTV subscriber, many of my friends and co-workers have DirecTV or DISHNET due to the fact many of us live in the sticks, and for those that can get cable, the local cable companies only have around 25 channels and no HD, etc. An older co-worker has had Dishnetwork for...

ok, I don't mean to sound ignorant, but I've never had a DVR in all my years as a DirecTv customer. My wife is bugging me to get a DVR, of course I would have to have HD. Which model of HD DVR only uses one wire, and does it require the single wire LNB? If I ask for that particular model from...

What happened to Significantly Viewed Locals? The Cable Company in my city only offers Corpus Christi locals, but I get Houston locals only through DirecTV.. I can travel 18 miles to the next county and get San Antonio locals through DirecTV if I lived there, and Houston is farther away...

I've been a Sunday Ticket Subscriber in the past, but not the last couple of years. I called DirecTV tonight and the CSR offered me $10 off for 12 months if I got the Sunday Ticket. I asked about HD and she said all of the games are in SD unless you get the Superfan. So... DirecTV shows all...

My sister-in-law just got DirecTV installed with a HD DVR. The dish looks like a slimline, but only has a 99 / 101 / 103 LNB on it, missing the 110 and 119. She subbed to the NFL Sunday Ticket as well, so I guess without looking at Lyngsat that all the regular HD stuff including the Sunday...

So both of my H21-100's got the latest update.... In the set-up menu > HDTV > Resolutions there is now an option for 1080P under the 1080i, I selected the 1080P box, went through the test where you push the info button to confirm my TV would do 1080P, then got a message saying that while I...

Hello all, What is the max number of IRD's you can have on an account? I was told in years past that 6 was the limit by the CSR's. I live in the sticks and can't get cable, so sat tv is my only option. We also have 4 kids and they have IRD's and TV's in their room.

I have/had two local channels: FOX and ABC both on UHF with the transmitters on two different towers around 38 to 40 miles away. I have a mast, around 20 ft high that used to have an old radio shack UHF only antenna that I got both analog stations on. We got a new TV with a digital tuner...

H23-600 IRD Question Hello all, I recently had an older RCA HD IRD that I owned go out, since I pay the extra $$ a month for the protection plan I called DirecTV and they set up a time for an installer to show up to bring me a new HD IRD. After he showed up and determined that the DTC-210...

I hear the Houston HD locals are already "lit" up. But has anyone here had the install yet? If so how good are the Houston locals in HD? I'm in the "Houston local channel area", well 150 miles SW of Houston, but well out of HD OTA range. I already get the NBC, CBS & FOX NY MPEG-2 Feeds...
