    Difference between the slimline dishes?

    I was told that you need the new dishes to get all thw channels on the newer recievers. I have an old 18 x 24 dish in the garage I could give him but will he get the locals and the hd channels? This will be installed in Detroit

    Is the hr24 a dual tuner receiver?

    Okay thanks. How does the 5 tuner receiver work? I currently have the slimline 5 dish with 1 wire coming into my home, will directv consider the 5 tuner receiver as 5 different tvs and charge me for each one?

    Week 2 and still cannot get the HD channels, Signal problem?

    No outstanding balance, I am set up on visa direct pay. The company that set up the account says it is most definitely a signal issue. The 721 message is throwing me off, but let me get the signal above the 90's and then we will see what happens.

    Ok I guess I will have to get it re-aligned once again! I guess the installer didn't know what he was doing because he said that the signals he was getting was fine to receive the picture.

    Week 2 and still cannot get the HD channels, Signal problem?

    So I took the splitter out and still no HD channels? All say call ext 721 not subscribed. I give up! I might just try and get another installer here to try and get a better signal, maybe that will help. I don't understand what it means that I have errors on tuner 1 odd 13v and even 18v
