Ok they all look good except for 99 (s) and 103 (s) those are at zero. I flip to the tv and I am picking up all the HD channels. I guess I dont need those two?

in texas. Nope!

Hifi,
Why would you say that ?

If he doesn't get the 99s or 103s he won't get his locals, provided D* carries them.

While he's very close, and is getting all the Conus HD channels now, he wont get his locals.

Guppy, all you numbers are still low, but you'll be OK till the weather comes in.

I'm two states north and have all zeros as well but get locals in HD.

Can you tell me what sat your locals come from ?

Also, Guppy, where abouts are you in Texas, what DMA ?

I believe the 99c for HD and 119 for the standard def.

Well, then if your getting your locals in HD, your signals on the 99s are there, definitely not 0

this what my HR24 shows and have never been questioned by ISS about the 99s when needing to call in to request waivers. You may be right, I have been unable to find anything like "the list" for directv.

What is the "best" remote for my receiver (H20-600)? I need to buy a couple more, wife losses them on a regular bases. I think Rf is better than IR, so I want RF.
I am thinking the RC65, but wanted to get a second opinion from the guru's before buying anything off ebay.

P.S. Looking for cheap directv brand remote, not the $100 harmony or logitec stuff

I've been getting all my locals in hd for a very long time and I also have 103s and 99s at mostly zeros

Hey guy,
Your locals are coming in on transponder 18 with 89%.

I was under the presumption that you had NO signal on the 99c Sat, you have strong signal on the 17 and 18...

The other transponders that you have numbers on are for other areas in your spotbeam that you don't receive.

The RC65 is an IR remote, you would need to find a RC65R or a RC65RX to have RF abilities.

:up learned something new.

 

[Rey]

And the RC65RBX which lights up.great for dark rooms like the bedroom.

That's why jimbo is the man around these parts

 

[guppy1]

So how do you tell the difference between a RC65 and a RC65RBX? They both gonna just say RC65 at the top left corner, correct?

 

[Rey]

It will say RBX in the same place. If it doesn't then it's not

 

[Rey]

Would you like a pic of the remote I have here?

 

[HIFI]

or if you are into nfl you can get your favorite team remote. I believe they are RF remotes.

 

[guppy1]

glad you mentioned Backlit, that does make ALL the difference in the world. So I'll do some searching for the rc65rbx. Thanks!!

So the difference in RC65RB and the RC65RBX is that the x is two programable. What does two way programmable mean?

I am finding alot of RC65RB but not many RC65RBX


does my H20 receiver 2 way program?
