    Genie and Mini Genie next to each other

    Hi, I'm new to Directv after 7 years with Dish Network. I have two tvs in my basement man cave, one hooked up to the main Genie boxand the other to a genie mini client. I want to be able to use the same Harmony Remote to control both boxes. The installer said the mini client needed to be set...

    Is there a thread where I can learn more about what the RF modulator does and how it works? I'm not familiar with that. Do the hoppers or joeys take an or signal as well for use with universal remotes? Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

    Help with Hopper Upgrade Configuration

    First time back in a while. I set up my house years ago with invaluable help from this community. Now I'm trying to upgrade to the Hopper. Here's the deal. I have 7 TVs, 4 HD that are primary use and 3 secondary SD only TVs that get limited use. Currently I have a 922, 622 and 222 at three...

    Did Pittsburgh locals change satellites?

    I have two dishes on my house. One from way back when I originally got Dish that isn't connected anymore and the one now. I'm pretty sure that is Western facing, but how would I know?

    Did Pittsburgh locals change satellites?

    Now, I'm getting no signal anywhere on Sat 129, including transponder 10. Makes no sense. What is this link saying? http://www.satelliteguys.us/thelist/index.php?search=dnall&market=Pittsburgh,%20PA&sub=true&sort=&order=&beamMap=CIEL2_SB26.jpg I don't even need to get locals from Pittsburgh...

    Did Pittsburgh locals change satellites?

    All I'm saying is just keep looking the other way like they have been for the last 6 years.

    Did Pittsburgh locals change satellites?

    http://www.satelliteguys.us/thelist/index.php?search=dnall&market=Pittsburgh,%20PA&sub=true&sort=&order=&beamMap=CIEL2_SB26.jpg Am I looking at and thinking about this right? If I can just somehow convince a DISH tech to point my dish at Sat 129, I should be all set?

    Can I just get them from 129, then?

    Did Pittsburgh locals change satellites?

    Well this kind of sucks. I guess Dish just lost themselves a customer. I know "moving" is skirting the "rules", but for almost $150/month you'd think they'd make it easier for me to get whatever stinkin' local channels I want. I'm not a criminal, I just want to watch the Steelers every week...

    Did Pittsburgh locals change satellites?

    @dare2be you're right. I left it on for a couple minutes and it is now showing a signal strength of 5 on 61.5, 29. Presumably this is not enough to get anywhere?

    Did Pittsburgh locals change satellites?

    Sat 61.5, Transponder 29 seems to show 0 signal strength. Unless I'm not doing it right,.

    Did Pittsburgh locals change satellites?

    I changed the service address back before I even scheduled the tech call (which I've since cancelled). This isn't my first "moving" rodeo, fellas!:) So am I screwed on getting pittsburgh locals? How do I check whether the new "spotbeam" will see me?

    Did Pittsburgh locals change satellites?

    I live in Rochester, NY but use a Pittsburgh service address to get the local channels. I've been having trouble with my locals and now they are sending out a rep. Did the Pittsburgh locals change to a different satellite? I just want to know what to expect before the tech gets here. thanks!

    Sick of my 922. Time to upgrade?

    I have 6 TVs only three of which are HD. I use home distribution though TV2 for the other 3, which I assume I can still do--how many tuners does the Hopper have? I'm thinking having just the one Hopper might be best so I only need to worry about DVRing stuff in one spot. Am I thinking about...

    Sick of my 922. Time to upgrade?

    I haven't been on the forum for a while, but I jumped on because I am just getting sick of my 922. I have a 922, a 622 and a 222. Seems like upgrading to the new Hopper and a couple Joeys is a no brainer. Am I missing something?

    VIP 922 Meltdown-DVR recovery?

    It gets through the start up and works for like a minute, then just restarts. Eventually the it just goes dark and the fan runs until I unplug it and plug it back in again. The hard drive is still good. I can see the menus and the shows for the minute or so it stays on. it just doesn't...

    VIP 922 Meltdown-DVR recovery?

    My VIP 922 melted down this week. DISH is telling me I need a new one. Luckily, it's under warranty. The problem is they are saying there is no way to retrieve my DVR programming from the unit before I send it back. I have an EHDD hooked up, but I can't seem to access the menus to send...

    Home media and Hulu

    I am a new 922 user. When I bought it I was promised that I could 1) play things form my computer connected to the network and 2) watch hulu, netflix, etc. thru the 922. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to do either. What the hell?

    TV 2 Remote Address

    Thanks n0qcu. Seems like you know your stuff. Is there anyway I can use my IR to UHF converter to control my 622 in a different part of the house if it's hooked into the same home distribution that 922 is hooked up to?

    TV 2 Remote Address

    Thank you. It's amazing how much more knowledgeable people on this board are than the DISH tech support reps, one of whom just told me that there wasn't even a TV2 tuner in the 922. Clueless. Anyways, I had already gotten the 32.0 remote to control TV2 by switching the tab at the bottom...
