    Satellite 103 question

    99s has good signal. All of my channels are good. I was just curious. I don't really know what sat my locals come from. This info should be somewhere?

    Satellite 103 question

    I was looking at all of my satellite strength signals and I noticed satellite 103 has a 103 (s), 103 (ca), and 103 (cb). What are the differances? 103 (s) didnt have a very strong signal, about 50 %. Maybe its spotbeam for locals? Maybe it does not apply to my area, Benton Arkansas 72019...

    To much work, I was thinking more along the lines of dynamite or something quick and easy :-)

    Somebody explain this one to me

    Thats exactly what happened Stonecold. I had dish remounted anfter getting new shingles on roof in june. signals where good then but have slowly been dropping. Do you think something may be loose up there on the dish?

    Somebody explain this one to me

    I have slimline 5 dish and 1 HR21? HD dvr reciever. A lot of my HD channels have been freezing and pixelating and I noticed I have some really low signals on sats 103 and 99. So I call Directv and she says to reset it by pushing red button. So I do and all my problems seemed to have disappeared...

    A question about cancellation cost

    Could anyone tell me how much it would cost me to cancel service on a Choice Extra package with HR21-100 DVR 1 yr into the contract? I'm having tree issues and i'm afraid it would be cost prohibitive to cut down 2 giant oak trees. My dish is already mounted on the crest of my roof so I don't...

    Nabbed by the commitment capper!

    where I saw the agreement I had a hd dvr/receiver fail a couple of months ago. I called, they shipped me another one for $20. I got it , opened the box and the activation card was packaged and taped on top of the receiver. If you read the little bitty tiny weenie writing on the package that the...

    I need an experts opinion on this

    My signal strength varies greatly between the 5 sats I receive on my slimline dish . I get all of my channels but some of these signal strenths are very marginal. My location is 72015 Benton Arkansas. This is viewing the signal strength meter 119 100% 110 91% 103C 58% 101 95% 99C 53% 99S 74%...

    A weird question about line of sight

    I am getiing 99 and 103 but signal levels are very marginal, around 50. I'll have to take another look at 101 sig level. I know the other sat sigs are 90-100 range. By the way what is a BBC? :confused: Wait, I think I can answer my own question.. Broadband Converter? Yes there are 2 of them...

    A weird question about line of sight

    Thanks! Well, I am impressed with your math skills, You must really be Vulcan ;-) I checked out dishpointer.com earlier today and I believe I need about 50 ft clearence from my dish base. I have good signal on all but 99 and 103. I don't think i'll have to cut down any trees, just trim the...

    A weird question about line of sight

    Thank you Spock. Live long and prosper. Seriously, is 17 ft legit?

    A weird question about line of sight

    Ok, if you have a slimline that receives 5 satellites at 99-119? degrees then how wide of a horizonal clearing would you need at ~ 50 ft from your house? I hope this makes sense. I'm asking because I have tree issues but I don't want to cut down every tree in the back yard :)

    HR22-700 junk

    Well, this may like comparing apples to oranges but I just had my HR21-700 replaced by a HR21-100 and it is much faster with bringing up menus, changing channels, etc.

    What is the difference between 99(c) and 99(s)? When I look at my signal strength one is 77 and the other is 50:confused:

    50 questions (ok really only 4)

    zip code 72019. Maybe I better go back and look at 101 again. Another question, how can I get a fedex tracking number from Directv?

    50 questions (ok really only 4)

    The trees Well 99 is the only issue, I do have a big tree in the southeast corner. Signal in the low 60's but surprisingly I have had very little problem except w hen Thunderstorms overhead. I'm asking because my h21-700 is getting constant hard drive errors when I reboot, pretty much...

    50 questions (ok really only 4)

    What satellite does directv use to send out software updates? What satellite does directv use to update the menu/program guide? What satellite does directv use for most basic HD channels? That is to say NOT the subscription movie channels or sport channels like hbo, showtime, nfl, mlb etc...
