    C61K dropping out

    I have a HR54 (on Ethernet [2xGigabit]) and a C61K (also on Ethernet [2xGigabit] with a DECA adapter between them) and this setup has been rock solid ever since I put it in many months ago. I got the new UI update a few days ago and things have been going fine except for the lag on the main...

    C61K and HDR

    My Google-fu isn't finding anything, so I figured I'd ask. Does the C61K support either kind of HDR format (either HDR10 or Dolby Vision)? I'm guessing no as I can't find anything that suggests it does, and I would think that D* would be touting it if it did. Thanks!

    Random stupid questions

    All, First off, excuse me for the random stupid questions that I should already know. I *think* I know the answers, but I'd feel better with some confirmations :). Background: Currently we have a Slimline 3LNB dish with 1 HR34 Genie, 2 HR24s, and 1ancient HR21. Since I'm a dork and have...

    New HR34 install

    Sorry for the multiple questions in one.. figured it was cleaner that way! Just moved again (hopefully for the last time!) and as part of the move they gave us a Genie. So we have: 1 HR34-700, 1 HR24-100, 1 HR24-500, 1 HR21-700, 1 H25-100, and 1 C31-700 (either the C31 or the H25 is going...

    On Demand

    Anybody else having problems w/ On Demand? Using last week's CE I was getting errors that Channel 1000 was unavailable. I reverted back to national and now I can get to On Demand, but the only thing listed is "Welcome to DIRECTV on DEMAND"! What happened to everything?! :(:confused:

    Moving to a 2nd story house

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but it's a new situation for me. My current house is a 1-story w/ an existing E* dish. When we had D* installed, we ran the 2nd RG6 to the master bedroom for the HD-DVR, and ran the extra 2 RG6 runs outside to where the dish was. This way all the...

    HR21-700 won't upgrade past 0x1fe?

    I tried the reset, 0 2 4 6 8 thing today on my brand new HR21-700. But for some reason all that seems to do is force it to reinstall 0x1fe. I know I'm probably doing something stupid, but I don't know what it is...

    Maybe switching

    I'm sure this has been repeated over and over, but I suck at searching. Sorry! I might be switching from DISH to DTV (if they don't give me hell about my credit). Right now we have cables running from the DISH LNBFs into the attic where they are barrel connected into existing RG6 lines into...

    Getting ready to try this again

    A little over a year and a half ago I tried to make the jump to SC. The equipment was ordered, and then the next thing I know there was a medical emergency and hospital bills, so the order got canceled :(. So fast forward to now and I'm trying to get ready to make the jump again. I probably...

    Locals Missing?

    All, I have a 942 (haven't upgraded to the 622 yet) and a 322. Up until last week I was doing OTA for all local channels except 1 (the antenna was UHF-only, and we had one local in Dallas who's digital channel is VHF). That one channel we were pulling via sat (we have the locals pacakge on...

    Sirius & XM in the car

    Currently I have a Pioneer headunit w/ a Pioneer SIR-PNR1 dedicated tuner. I was thinking of maybe also adding a XM sub and installing a GEX-P920XM daisy-chained through the PNR1's IP-Bus input port. From what I can tell, this will work. My biggest question is the antenna. While I...

    Install Questions

    First off, I apologize if this has been repeated to death, but I honestly don't know what to search for :). The installer just came out and installed a dish w/ a dishpro plus twin LNBF pointed at 110/119. He connected it to one 942 w/ a dishplus plus seperator & a 311. I want to install a...

    Charlie has it in for me!

    When VOOM first started up, I bailed from DISH, and never looked back. DISH lied to me for months and just treated me like crap. I loved VOOM, and I will miss it... Finally got my SC system ordered (well, preordered due to the DSR530)... all excited waiting for the happy day until.. my wife...

    Couple of Quick Questions...

    Okay.. now that the DSR530 is available for preorder, I'm about to make the SC plunge.. a couple of quick questions before I pull the CC out :)... 1) I noticed kusat has 'promotions' for new customers. I have a hunch that people using brokers can't use these promotions? Am I wrong here...

    STB Loosing Satellite Signal?

    Sorry if this has been brought-up before, but I did a search and I didn't find anything real straightforward. I have two STBs. Probably around once every day or two, one of them will say that the satellite signal has been lost, and the little dish LED on the front of the STB turns red. If I...
