    Whole home dvr problems

    I agree with Claude. Go to menu<setup<system setup<whole home<status to see what it tells you there. Are the "non working" receivers on a different splitter? Might want to check to make sure the caps/terminators are on any unused ports.

    How do I aim my DirecTV slimline dish?

    International is still on 95 and a whole different dish, which is horrible. Supposedly they are working on a new lnb for the slimline to pickup the 95 so you can have international with just one dish. Spanish is not considered international. Korean, and south African are the only kind I have...

    Current odds of getting HR24 and H24 on new Whole Home install

    We are still using 21, 23 and 24. We got a pallet of 25 in Thursday but they are all gone now. And 25 still can plug into component. They should come with (or are available) mini-din 10 pin - component/composite cables.

    Request A Tech

    Depends on how the tech gets routed. Get your appointment scheduled and call Directv and get your activity number and give it to the tech. He then can tell his dispatch to route him to that job. I do it all the time.

    What would you do?

    We got a guy that putts around in his focus two hatch back. Our upper level Mastec guys don't really like it but he is a good worker. He has a 20' folding ladder inside it. Everything for his daily work fits "perfectly" in his car. No more room in the front seat.

    slimline and H24 not getting signal

    Make sure your sat setup is correct, reset box, see if you can force a software download ( reset box, at "hello" screen type 02468). We were having problems with the h24-100s doing the same thing. Getting signal at the line but box not receiving a thing.

    What can I do?

    From a few past experiences I've had with movers in your situation is Directv will cancel your contract no fees needed. As long as you can get the documentation from the office stating specific dish mounting rules and have your installer note it can not be done to those rules you should be fine.

    What are the requirements to become an installer?

    Sorry, forgot some 10-14 hour days are not uncommon. But like I said, I like to work. Not many really do. And the overseas job was a company called Proactiv communications (90% sure that's the name). Customer I installed works the and told me about them hiring. I have no networking...

    What are the requirements to become an installer?

    What are the requirements to become an installer?

    Like mentioned before, there are more bad than good companies it seems. I believe I have found a good one now and I gross 2500ish every two weeks. But I love to work and do work plenty. This is one of my favorite jobs, but I won't do this forever. Definitely need an exit strategy in place...

    Your signal can actually show better after new software than before. Happened with an install I had Tuesday. Signal wouldn't pass IV before, but after software download it did. Lol

    What dish do I need?

    Correct. You can run 3 straight from lnb to boxes. No switch needed. I did that just yesterday, 3 boxes also. Still prefer a swm anyway to doing it that way though.

    My Directv is out again!

    Do you have the newest software download? We were having some problems with h24s, I know yours is an hr24, and signals either not showing on the receiver and/or not being able to activate completely with a signal.
