    OTA sub channels

    Does Directv provide the guide data for the sub channels when connecting an AM21 for example, or is that based off PSIP data from the channel it’s self ?

    Old Dish install

    Put this in 21 years ago. Doubt they are still active, but had to use 2 Dishes to pick up 110 and 119 due to buildings in the way downtown. Was at another job and noticed these dishes this afternoon.

    This is crazy

    So where I live we have Comcast, WOW, and AT&T Fiber in addition to having access to Dish, Directv and Orby. I literally have 3 Gig internet providers in my backyard. I got AT&T gig service, Directv and Comcast Tv. So I’m walking down the street the other day and we now have Rocket Fiber...

    Directv hotel install

    So went on a service call today because 8 rooms where not working. It was originally wired in the walls with 1 Dish. Apparently another tech couldn’t figure it out. Drilled holes in every room and ran 42 lines to the roof. Issue was a bad LNB. I did not do this job BTW

    Orby and FedEx SUCK!

    I was on the news yesterday. We where contracted to do all the Detroit installs for Orby. We ran out of equipment over a month ago. Orby shipped the equipment via FedEx and a month later we still have not gotten all of the equipment. We got some stuff, but are missing key boxes such as...

    The end of Directv

    Although we don’t sell Directv residential anymore, apparently they are rolling out a new compensation plan for dealers. If your customer is located in the country, you can sell Directv and get paid regular commissions. If your customer is in the city, they want us to push AT&T Tv. The...

    Directv/AT&T to pay dealers 70% of commissions for March/April

    So I was on a conference call today and it looks like AT&T is paying dealers 70% of their regular commissions and residuals for March and April to make up for lost activations due to the Corona Virus. If you make more than the 70% payment, they will not pay you. But if you do below the 70%...

    AIM Meter recovery

    I tried to update the software in my AIM meter yesterday and I just get a blank screen when I turn it on, or it immediately turns off after powering up. I tried to put it In recovery mode, by pressing 4 buttons and power but no luck. I’m going to call Triolithic on Monday, but thought I would...

    Looks like Dish is not buying Directv

    Although I didn’t support the T-Mobile/Sprint merger, Charlie will have his hands and money tied up in this for years. Be interesting to see how this plays out with several million new “Dish Pre-Paid” low income boost mobile customers. This is a win win for me today. Dish ain’t buying...

    Satellite TV piracy and account stacking

    Just an observation, but It seems to me that satellite piracy is dead. It seems like ever since the jail broken fire sticks became popular, nobody is even bothering to pirate satellite anymore. I don’t even see either provider caring about account stacking either. Dish used to aggressively...

    Is AT&T gutting DIRECTV?

    Just a rumor at this point, but a mutual friend of mine and Scott told me that AT&T is gutting DIRECTV and getting ready to sell the company. There have been some major changes in Commercial, and they are desperately trying to gain more subscribers at the expense of the dealers. Hope it’s...

    Why is my cable not working?

    I was at a commercial job today on a digital HD headend. Couldn’t get anything to come on channel 47 (350 MHz or higher) I never seen a splitter with such a low rating for passing frequencies. Needless to say me and the customer replaced this beauty with a 2-way and (2) 8-way 1 gig splitters.

    When do channels drop the “HD” Designation.

    So I was going through my guide this evening and every channel has “HD” at the end of the name. It’s 2019 and assumed everything is HD. I think it’s at the point we should be designating channels “SD” and call the HD channels by their regular names.

    Local channel connector

    I hooked up one last night for my neighbor and got 62 local channels. My AM21 doesn’t get half the channels. Does anyone know if a local channel connector will work with an HR24?

    Genie hard drive died

    Do I swap the unit or try to put in a bigger drive? It’s a showroom unit, so no warranty from Directv. Pretty much buying a new genie or trying to swap the drive
