HI Guys, My HR44/500 is overheating so I called today and they are sending me what they described as a new "Upgraded" receiver. Does anyone know what model this one is?

Hello, I have a recent install of a whole home dvr and I have an ethernet connection available to plug into my HR24/500. So I plugged the ethernet into it and lost the other receivers on the whole home network. Is the network option no longer available when using a whole home setup? I used...

Hello all. I have some mover connection questions. I will be moving into an older home at the end of September that will need cabling for DTV. How many runs will the installer install for free and will it be a single wire install? I have 2 DVRs (HR20-700s) 1 H20-100 and 2 D11s. Will those...

Hello All, I have a question regarding an swm8 switch and a slimline install. Right now the setup I have is a slimline dish with a 6x8 switch running 8 lines into my house. I have an hr20-700 in the family room with 2 lines to it, an h20 in my bedroom with 1 line to it, and 3 older...

How hard is this? Is it something that I can do without needed to repoint the dish. Is it just a swapout?

Hello, In less than a month I will be moving. My current setup is a slimline dish with 5lnb setup. The house I am moving to has an existing slimline dish setup but the lnb is different. From what I have seen it is a 3lnb setup. My question is I have HD tvs and will the new dish with the...

Hello, I am moving soon (and not "Moving") and the new house we are looking at does not have multiple drops in locations for my DVR. I was going to use the mover connection, will they automatically put the swm equipment in or do I need to pay for extra cable runs?

Hello, The other day I noticed that the hard drive on my dvr went from 89% free to 50% free and I had only recorded a couple of shows. I then noticed that I have a lot of stuff recorded in the Movies Now and Showcases tab and the red button doesn't work to delete them. Is there a way to get...

Ok, I thought I had it fixed by installing a new 6x8 switch but that didn't do it. Here is the problem: I lose transponders off 101 during the day (it just started losing them at about 12:10 Pacific time) but they come back on later in the evening. Is something overheating? I am at a loss...

Hello, I turned on the tv last night and switched to Fox Soccer channel and got a searching for sat message, and after checking into it a bit, I noticed that I have lost quite o few transponders from 101. I think it might be my zinwell 6x8 switch going out but not sure. Is it possible to...

Anyone else notice this? I used to have an add banner right around TNT promoting the on demand beta. It's gone this morning. Does that mean it is out of beta and there is another place to find it?

Hi, I have noticed that a lot of my mpeg4 hd channels have sound that is off sync. I normally don't notice it because I am watching sports and you don't see the announcer as her or she is speaking. Last night I was watching Golf HD and they had the announcers on camera and the sound was...

Hello, I am hoping to get some tips from all of the installers that frequent this forum. I have been only getting high 20's to low 30's on sat 110(b) so I contacted a local antenna/sat place here in town to have my slimline adjusted. (They installed it last January) To be blunt, this guy is...

Has there been a new software update for the H20? All of a sudden over the weekend, my h20 started doing strange things. Now I have to hit enter after punching in a channel number, it would automatically go to the channel, then I have to hit exit to clear the info banner or it will stay on the...

I just called D* to see if I can get an HR20 so I can get my local FSN in HD and they said they could get me a "deal" for $199 but they would have to install it. I don't want to take off of work and I don't want people in my house anyway. I already have a 5 lnb slimline dish because I have an...

I just swapped out a defective h20 receiver that I purchased last year. I have now been sent a letter that I am leasing the new receiver and that if I don't return the receiver I will be charged $400. I did return it, but what about the $200 I spent for the old receiver? Now I spent $200 for...

Hello, Did anyone else get a software update on the HD Tivo DVR? I got one right before the Daytona 500 and since the update (at least my receiver rebooted and said it was receiving an update) my OTA has been crap. I do have my OTA antenna on a rotor but have not moved it and my H20-100...

This is post is similar to the previous post about used equpment. My father recently closed his bar and retired. He has given me the 3 SD receivers from the bar and I am moving into a new house that has cables in all the rooms. I want to put the receivers into my girls bedrooms. Do I need to...

I have nothing to substatiate this but I was looking at the NFL schedule for December and noticed that the Monday night game will be on channel 74. ESPN is on 73 right now so are they maybe going to add something like StarsHD at 72 and move everything else up one number? Or was it maybe just a...

Hello, I have been looking at some of the sales on Ebay for these and have an installation question. When running the lines into the switch, do you have to put specific cables into the switch. I know I didn't have to do that with my Phase III because it had a switch built in and I had a...

Hello, I have a question, I have a home being built right now and the builder puts a plate near the edge of the roof for satellite inputs. Does the at9 dish have 4 connections coming off of it similar to the phase 3 or does it have 5 since there is the extra LNB? TIA

hello all, recently my wife and I purchased a new home which is due to be finished being built in December. I am scheduled to go in and select all my upgrades, some of these will be additional coax outlets. I remember reading that the switch I have now will not work with the AT9 dish and an...

Hello, Last year I purchased the HD tivo, a phase III dish and a stackable 5x8 multiswitch. Last week I purchased an H20 for the bedroom. We the installer installed the dish on my roof he was not very knowledgable and he told me that I could not use the multiswitch with the dish because it...

Does anyone here know if you can order just the two HD channels ala carte? I don't want the SD channels in the packages.

When D* starts sending the HD local feeds will they be sending all the channels that will be available? For example, the PBS channel in Sacramento has 6.1,6.2, 6.3 and 6.4. Will they be sending all 4 or just the main one? Or does anyone know?
