    Spring training games on MLB

    Red Sox Blackout??? I live in Central Illinois and would really like to watch some NESN. I have been thinking about getting the Sports Pack but I hear the issues with blackouts and such. My question is this: If I have this Sports Pack and the Red Sox are playing at Minnesota and the game...

    Do I need a BBC for a HR20-100s Receiver?

    I hate to piggyback on this question but.... My buddy just gave me his old dish and mount setup. The LNB says Eagle Aspen DTVSDLNB Rev1. His receivers required BBC. I have an HR22-100 and H21-200 receiver. Do I also need to use a BBC in this installation?

    XP Remote Desktop

    I should really know this question having worked with computers for a while, but am having a brain fart at the moment..... If I remote desktop into an XP machine, can a user sitting at the machine locally see what is going on? I have a PC at home that I connect to via Hamachi VPN. My account...

    Tailgate kit question.

    My current setup at home is as follows: HR22-100 and H21-200 with SWM I would like to bring my HD receiver with me in my camper for football games this fall. If I purchase a tailgate kit from Sadoun (TGKit-3) do I need to also purchase power inserter between the dish and H21-200 receiver? I...

    Temporary move

    So, there is a chance I will be moving out of my house temporarily (hopefully) and I want to bring the HDTV and DirecTV with me. How does D* handle this since I just installed 3 months ago? Can I move my gear and leave the dish for when I move back in? Or should I just buy a new dish and...

    Can HDNet Movies be ordered?

    I have not called DTV yet to ask, but was wondering if I could order it? There seems to be a few good movies coming on that channel this month. I currently have the Choice Xtra +HD and DVR service and I am in the 23 dollars off a month deal right now. If I can have it added, will it affect my...

    Roof Mount question

    The roof has standard asphalt shingles about 3 layers deep and the rather than sheeting over the joists there are slats that the old shakes probably used to be affixed to. Well, he was able to secure the mount a heck of a lot better than the last installer. Actually the guy that came yesterday...

    Roof Mount question

    First, a short narrative on my situation. My first install was about a month and a half ago. It was solid for three weeks then I lost all HD channels. Had an installer out here and he said my roof was bad (told my wife this) and mounted another brace and left. Last week I lost all HD...

    Neighbor taking satellite signal??

    So.....what was the outcome? I haven't seen any updates in a few days. I know this was a touchy subject, but I am curious as to what the final result was.

    Glad to hear you got it resolved.

    Lost all signal

    Happened to me too.... Same deal, it was a week after my install. The tech said the dish had moved ever so slightly due to a bad roof. The house is 100 years old and does not have a solid plywood roof (There are slats ever 4 inches or so). The original tech placed two lag bolts into one...
