    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...

    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...

    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

    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 :)

    hr21-700 bit the dust

    My hd dvr/receiver has croaked. DTV is coming out to replace it this week. I have 2 yr contract with 5 mo left. I didn't take the warranty when I signed up. I know they will replace the unit for free because it's leased equipment (probably with a refurbished one) but will they charge me for a...

    HR21-700 won't play recorded shows

    My DVR has been driving me nuts lately. If I try to play any recorded show the screen just says "Do you want to delete this now?" I tried to delete some old movies and then I rebooted. The movies did not delete. I recorded some new stuff (i thought) and it does the same thing. It says I have...

    Do I have to have a landline?

    If I don't order pay per view, can I get by without a telephone land line? I have absolutely no use for a landline except for Directv. I hate to waste money paying for it if I can get by without it.
