    HD not at home

    I haven’t been here in awhile so I hope Jimbo or anyone that knows will help me. Just a quick question. I have an H 24-700 HD tuner, (old). The home tuner is a complete house HD DVR and mine is one from the room I sleep in. We pay for the HD service. I work in aviation and I’m on the road most...

    Aiming satelite dish

    I use Satellitefinder.com and they give both. I'm in N/W Palm Beach this time and when I was here before I was in Lake Worth about 23 mi.ESE and once I got close it was easy to get 95 % or better on all signals. Cheers nigel

    Aiming satelite dish

    Relocated "again" and forgot. Should I use "true" or "magnetic " north to hit the satellites? I know this is a beginner question but again, "I forget". Cheers nigel

    At the risk of asking another stupid question, is the fee a one time fee and how much is it? Also, i'm thinking the purchase of the C61K from SS was just that, a purchase, not a lease? Cheers nigel

    Thanks guys for looking out for me. I sent an e-mail when you guys said they'd, DirecTv) start charging me, to SS and Ashley returned my response by e-mail Should I call D* just to be sure? I wouldn't think SS would misinform me but worse things have happened. Cheers nigel

    Both good points. For now, since there are no charges until I activate it according to Ashley at SS, (the C61K) i'll just hang on to it and see what happens with 4K from DirecTv in the coming months. Cheers nigel

    Got a reply from SS and Ashley said ," until the tuner, (C61K) is activated DirecTv nor SS will not charge for it ", so since I already have it, i'll hold onto it until I can use it. Just an update. Cheers nigel

    texasbrit; Thanks for the info. I DO have an SWM dish there already. I'll get ahold of Solid Signal right now and see if I need to send the C61K back to forgo any auto activation charges. Sounds like your advice is the smartest and i'll go with it until I get more numbers and I have the ability...

    Is it possible to connect 2 TV's to the Genie DVR?

    I bought a Tech Choice 1 x 2 HDMI Powered Splitter from Solid Signal and it works great. The DirecTv remote works from a distance as well. Cheers nigel

    Jimbo, i'm gonna get the numbers from the shop tuner and see if I can add a genie to that service, (quantity of Genies per household allowed by mother DirecTv being the question) and go from there. Solid Signal has some great prices and they're very helpful like here at Satellite Guys, so i'll...

    I'm sorry I don't meet "dishrich's" intellectual standards, every forum has at least one a$$hole that looks for things to pick out and try to make themselves look better by trying to making looking others look bad, trying to pick a fight, rather than being helpful. I said, "I've been dealing...

    texasbrit; Thanks for the inquiry. 200 ft..The shop / barn has its own dish but they're both combined on the same bill. The house dish has the DVR and the shop / barn has a tuner, HD, i'll get the model number, and I'm not sure but I don't think it has DVR recording capabilities but i'll check...

    I sure hope not, about the billing. I did some reading here and at the site Scott linked me to and I guess from what I read I can only have one Genie per household so the C61K, I was going to put out in the shop, not wanted or needed in the house, can't be used unless I attach it to the DVR...

    Drucifer; Thanks very much for the explanation. Now I see the progression. Scott did a great job explaining but I just didn't have the deep back round to understand. So, looks like I need to get a DVR, (H54) of the latest generation and attach the C61K to it. We have a DVR in one room and my H24...

    Several responses; Voyager6; I don't know what you mean by "upconversion". I didn't see any thing referring to that while doing the initial setup. Jimbo; I have HDMI cables for my all connections if that's what you mean. Zashel; You're right, I don't have Genie. Is that something I need to look...

    So I guess now I need to ask, "when the new C61K box gets here Friday, will gain any picture quality by having it activated over what I have now, since I don't have internet access"? Cheers nigel

    Scott; If you couldn't tell already I'm not real good with computers but I've been dealing with DirecTv systems since they first came out. I don't have internet at my new house so I hope I don't need it for this to work. What's VOD? Thanks again. I'll get back with, i'm sure more questions and...

    Scott; Just ordered a C61K from your link. Got two day delivery. When it gets here should I just install it like any other and then call DirecTv, (I have the technician contact number at DirecTv) and have the existing one closed and the new one activated? Cheers nigel
