    Buh Bye Charlie, Hello DirecTV

    Found a solution. Under Options in the List menu the very bottom choice gives you the option to view only local recordings only in your list. That did the trick for now, while it does hide her list completely from my list at least I know that with a few remote button pushes I can see her list...

    Buh Bye Charlie, Hello DirecTV

    So almost a week later I'm more than happy with my switch. I can't say that I have any complaints other than one minor gripe. My gripe is that when I setup a series recording for say a program at 11:00pm, rather than it recording that series at 11:00 it wants to record it if it comes on...

    Buh Bye Charlie, Hello DirecTV

    So after 10 years as a DishNet sub I made the switch to DirecTV. Had 3 HR24s installed today with Whole Home DVR and the internet connection kit. So far so good although it's only been 4 hours. Tech was very very professional and did a superb job with the install, especially considering it...

    HR21-700/H21 vs HR24/H24

    And this is exactly why I will not switch, (though I really really want to) until I can be guaranteed to get HR24s. To the OP, personally I think you should call and complain and see if you can get anything done. Being locked in to a contract with inferior substandard equipment would eat at me...

    Sure I will, I'll just wait till the older models are no longer being made and put in the field. :)

    what dvr will i get?

    Hrmm no guarantees of HR24s on a new install, guess I better not move to Directv just yet. Really really want the Whole Home DVR but don't want to get stuck with 3 outdated receivers.

    Tallahassee ABC HD PQ Terrible

    Last night for some reason the PQ on the Tallahassee ABC HD feed got terrible. The SD feed looks better. The HD feed is very pixelated and blurry. Any other people with Tallahassee ABC HD noticing poor PQ? I've reported it to Dish, let's see what happens. And before anyone asks, it's not...

    Compatible Hard Drive 622

    Well today it appears that the harddrive has pretty much failed. After an hour on the phone with DishNetwork, getting transferred 6 times to 6 different tech people who didn't know what the hell to do, the 7th person was able to do what needed to be done to get a replacement 722 in the mail to...

    Oh, that sounds like a plan. Thanks. :)

    Compatible Hard Drive 622

    DHPP? Is that short for leasing the equipment from Dishnetwork? If so last thing I need is more dollars on my sat bill. It's already high enough :( If I'm unable to procur a replacement drive I'm hoping this thing will hold on long enough till the new Dish receiver with the built in...

    Compatible Hard Drive 622

    Apparently the Seagate ST3500830SCE 500gb is discontinued and I can't seem to find one anywhere. Does anyone know if there is a new version? My 722 Harddrive appears to be slowly dying and I would like to try a harddrive swap before I fork over another 400 bucks or so for a new 722.

    I too couldn't lock the old 129 but have a nice stable lock on the new 129.

    Satellite TV Hearing Creates Controversy in Congress RE: SHVERA

    You hit the nail on the head with that statement. The problem is that these local stations and the people who own and run them have gotten lazy and sorry off of the milk cow that is their current monopoly and rather than do things to try to grow their viewship/customer base, they take the...

    Tallahassee HD Locals

    Well today is supposed to be the day for the Tally locals to come online in HD. Dishnetwork.com shows them as available in HD when you do the address checker. Maybe by the time I get home from work they will be on. One can dream can't he :) Oh and according to Dishnetwork.com address...

    Satellite TV Hearing Creates Controversy in Congress RE: SHVERA

    It's not Dish or Direct's fault that you can't get what locals you choose to or however many you choose to. Thank your congressman or woman and their continued support of outdated, monopolistic laws and local broadcast stations. Man how I miss the days of having both the West coast locals...

    Tallahassee HD Locals

    My guess is they won't be available till tomorrow or Thursday, that is if they are still slated for going active this week as originally indicated.

    Tallahassee HD Locals

    I just checked that, and it looks like FoxFL Sports and Sunshine HD are both gone now, the SD ones are still there but the HD ones went poof, apparently they are only on 61.5. For me personally this isn't a loss as I would much rather have the Tallahassee locals in HD. I think I can count...

    Tallahassee HD Locals

    Thanks. Today I was able to set the new elevation and swing my wing dish that was pointing at 61.5 around to the 129 azimuth and bingo, found it, locked it in, check switch and all is well. So I am ready for my Tallahassee locals in HD when they drop next week. Getting the same signal...

    Oh cool. I'll give it a try then. Thanks I can use my Dish300 that I have pointed at 61.5 correct?

    Tallahassee HD Locals

    They did, told me I needed a Dish at 61.5 to get HD for my HD receivers. So I complied. Anyway, so your saying that I should be able to spin my 61.5 Dish300 around and adjust the elevation and azimuth accordingly and pickup 129? If I do that now would I loose anything that I currently...

    Tallahassee HD Locals

    Your kidding right? We can't get 129 in this area. We have 119, 110 and 61.5. That makes no sense to put HD channels on a Sat that we can't even get. My switch to Direct TV gets closer and closer by the day. Finally was excited to see the Tallahassee HD locals coming to Dish, so much for...

    Best way to Feed 3 Dual Tuner Receivers

    Your correct, they are 8 foot rods, 6 feet apart, bonded by a single run of copper that goes to the Meter can. From the meter can only the 2 hot legs and the neutral go into the house as the codes here (not sure if it's a National code) don't require a ground wire from the meter can to the...
