    FREE Premier Preview June 18-21

    Thanks. Nobody really cares about Favre and his same old song and dance retirement/non-retirement waffling. This show will be watched by more people than the debut, just to see the "Artie Lange" Show. I know I look forward to taking advantage of the freeview and watching.

    Anyone having trouble logging into directv online?

    No problems here either. I logged on several times in the past couple of days, including twice yesterday to use the online scheduler and make a change to my account

    New Hd Channels Start Time.

    What lies? I don't recall seeing any "official" lies. Only a tentative or projected launch date that had to be delayed to to technical difficulties, whatever they might have been. Ever tune in to watch a baseball game only to see reruns of Raymond with a msg at the bottom that says "RAIN...

    19: Some guy named Bob forgot to throw the light switch on in the break room at D* HQ this morning at 5:59 am prior to making the coffee. Little did he know that switch was the GO HOT button for D-10

    You know you are waiting for the satellite to become operational when.....

    When my signal loss is no longer due to tree growth, but caused by my lawn needing to be cut because I spend to much time on this forum

    You know you are waiting for the satellite to become operational when.....

    When, even though football season is here, N2YO.com is now listed in my i.e. history more than NFL.com or CBSsportline.com

    5LNB antenna mount????

    I will take another look at the monopoles, but one last thing to point out. My facia boards are not the standard 3/4" thick used nowadays in home building. They are 2" thick. So there is a lot more meat for the lags to bite than an typ. house by todays standards. Thanks for the advice.

    5LNB antenna mount????

    Worse case, if a hurricane is bearing down on S. Florida, I may remove the dish from the mast.

    AIMING A 5 lnb SLIMLINE DISH?

    Receiving signal on 3 of the 6 transponders. Don't know how, but that's what my signal strength meter on HR-20 says, anyway.

    5LNB antenna mount????

    The monopoles aren't into studs, 2 of the 4 on the wall are though and my walls are 3/4" T-111 backed by 1" Plywood. I have an 85 lb tv mounted on the patio and didn't even hit studs but because of the thickness of the walls it didn't matter.

    AIMING A 5 lnb SLIMLINE DISH?

    One last tidbit. I didn't even have to touch the fine tune adjustment screws, but if you do, be careful, I have heard they can snap if not done right.

    AIMING A 5 lnb SLIMLINE DISH?

    Ditto, get 101 locked in then 119 and despite what a lot of people say, everything else should be dead nut. I put my own up two weeks ago after D* installer came out and said he wouldn't do it unless he used a pole. I told him to forget it, that I would do it myself. He chuckled. Who's...

    5LNB antenna mount????

    If the house is wood, you can use a SLW-250 from Dishmount Products. The SLW-250 is similar to what you have now, but with a different bolt pattern and a 5th bolt hole for the slimline dish. $48.00 plus two AT9LB long braces for support. The long braces are available MCM Electronics. You can...

    SD-DVR40 Problem

    I have recently started having intermittent signal drop (from 96% to 0%) on Sat C (110) of my Hughes Tivo box. The drop is immediate but lasts less than a second then re-aquires signal. It is causing almost continuous pixalating on Satellite 2 tuner. At first I thought the problem may be with...

    directv at tailgate questions

    I don't know how the new receivers (H20, D12) do with inverters, however, I have tailgated @ both NLCS & World Series in '03 as well as Homestead every year for Nextel Cup and without problem I have run a single receiver to either a small LCD TV or small CRT TV without problems. Just make sure...
