    HD locals added on 4/19/06

    So, the only way to see these new HD LiL channels is with an AT9 and an H20, right? Is D* offering any upgrade specials? I'll probably wait for the HR20 but it's tempting to jump in now that I know the locals are up. With no DVR capability though I'm not sure how much I'd watch them.

    Roof Dish Mount Only Option?

    Is there any type of under-eave mount that is strong/sturdy enough for the AT9? I have a tile roof and stucco siding so it's my only real option. I have my phase III mounted to one now but I guess it wont work anyway because the mast needs to be larger? Has anyone succesfully installed an AT9...

    R15 Issues

    I think this has to do with if your TV supports discrete on/off commands or not. If it doesn't then the "TV on/off" buttons only turn the R15 on/off which makes no sense, but that's the way it works.

    new dish pictures

    My current Phase III dish is installed with a J "under eve mount" because I have a tile roof and stucco siding. Will the new dish be able to install on the same mount or is it too big/heavy?

    0 signal on 1 of 4 lines: cause?

    Each cable is directly connected to the switch on the LNB. I guess it has to be either a bad cable, a bad connection at the switch or a bad switch? What would D* charge to come out and look at this? Is it included in their $7.99/mo fee? If I sign up for that and have them come out how...

    0 signal on 1 of 4 lines: cause?

    I just recently did a self install of a new system with a phase 3 dish. I have one R15 hooked to two of the outputs and a D11 hooked to a third. Everything has been working fine for over a week. I went to move the D11 tonight and the 4th line was totally dead, zero signal strength (I get...

    Song title, artist, etc on screen with XM?

    I've only used the D11 a few times, mainly to do my Dish setup and pointing before my R15 arrived and to check if it displayed the song info on screen. I really hope they change that. Having to hit info every-time you want to see the song info seems like a pain. I haven't tried to use the...

    Song title, artist, etc on screen with XM?

    I just activated my D* service a couple of days ago. I have an R15 and a D11 and I'm not seeing any song information with either receiver. The D11 is just a black screen and the R15 has a silhouette of a guy playing the saxophone (that doesn't appear to move BTW). The only way I've been able...

    VE R15 scheduled to ship on 11/8/05

    Yea, there's a BIG difference between Friday and Monday. It meens a whole week (at least) for me as I need to mount and point the dish and it's dark by the time I get home during the week. Plus, the weather is a factor. It's supposed to be be nice this weekend but who knows about next weekend...

    VE R15 scheduled to ship on 11/8/05

    CRAP! Looks like not 'till Monday for me :(. I was REALLY hoping to get it by the weekend for the install. I'm in northern California and it was supposed to ship from Southern California but it spent all afternoon and night bouncing around Arizona. :no WTF!

    Possible E* Convert

    There is no seperate $12/mo fee, but it depends on what you mean by ALL the features. The Stand Alone and Directivo run different versions of the TiVo software and have different features. I don't have either but I'm sure if you have a question about specific features someone here could answer...

    VE R15 scheduled to ship on 11/8/05

    I'd rather be getting nothing than two receivers I don't want. My original order clearly says R15 w/ dish, but my "order has shipped" email says Dish and 2 "Basic Receivers". I'm trying to decide if I should refuse the shippment if I'm here when it shows up. It is a little troubling that he...

    VE R15 scheduled to ship on 11/8/05

    I got an email with tracking number saying two "basic receivers" shipped to me today. Problem is I requested an R15 and NO basic receivers. So far I haven't received a reply to my PM or email asking what is going on. Hopefully just a typo and my R15 is on the way? (Keeps fingers crossed).

    VE R15 scheduled to ship on 11/8/05

    OK, one more try... I've looked at the private forum page and I see the R15, BUT... I'm a new customer and I need a SYSTEM (Dish, etc.) not just the R15 receiver. Where do I order that?

    Is there an order page somewhere or do I need to call? The only one I see right now says "R10".

    Robert, When will you have new customer packages available (multiple receivers, dish, installation, etc) that include R15s?

    SD on HD chanels shows small picture on 4:3 TV?

    I just got the 6412 and I'm wondering if this is normal: I've got a 4:3 HD Ready TV. When I'm watching an HD channel that's broadcasting a SD signal (locals mostly) I get a smaller picture inside the full screen. Is this normal? I tried different settings for the 4:3 pass-through but...

    Dish DVR vs. Comcast DVR

    It looks like I'll be temporarily moving from Dish to Comcast while on an extended business assignment. How does the Comcast DVR service (with the latest box 6412?) compare to the Dish DVR service (721/921)? What am I going to miss, what Comcast feature will I love? One thing that...

    Temporary Dish disconect or cancel?

    I'm not under any commitment so there wouldn't be any early cancel fee. I figured there would be some sort of re-connect fee but $500?

    Temporary Dish disconect or cancel?

    I just found out today that I may have to take a temporary job assignment in another state. My employer would be putting me up in temporary housing so I wouldn't need dish service for that time. I've been told it could last anywhere from 4-8 months. I should find out in a week or two if I'm...

    942 2-coax install question

    I'm thinking about replacing my 921 with a 942 and I have an install question. At the moment I don't have OTA on my 921 because I don't have an antenna, but I want to add one. So, right now I've got a DishPro 500 with two RG6 runs to a DP34 switch. From the switch I have 2 RG6 that run to...

    Why can't they just port 942 software to 921?

    As a current 921 user that transition may come too late as I've just about had my fill of lockups, missed timers, 0 sec recordings, etc. But, my main point is why are they maintaining a separate software baseline for each box they have? Why don't they have a single baseline and...
