Heck, I just left Directv and switched to Dish. The only thing I can complain about is the poorly programmed DVR software. I guess I was spoiled by the HR21 that I used to have with Directv. I'll get over it as soon as I get a new remote for the main TV that has the buttons in the right place...

Good thing I'm not affraid to work on it myself. I'm glad that I opted for a pole mount! C'mon clear skies, I need to fix my dish before D10 is repaired!

I've been getting upper 70s to mid 80s on all 103 CONUS transponders. Looks like I need to re-point my dish. At what signal strength would D* send a tech to re-point my dish for free, if at all? At least this explains the increased rain fade I've been experiencing.

Strange thing for me... I had been running Windows 7 Pro and could never get playback to work due to a problem with the HDCP error for Audio. Two things have changed: Microsoft was kind enough to give me Ultimate for free and an Nvidia video driver update. Wish I could figure out which one was...

4saken Thanks for the reminder about the Opt-out! I just rebuilt my computer to Win7 and didn't add it back. I won't go anywhere without AdBlock Plus installed!

If you buy the upgrade for 7, you can start with a blank drive. Essentially it should work like the old Windows XP installer that searched for a boot floppy or cd for Win988.

Of all the times my schools MSDNAA provider could be updating! I'm still running RC1 and have yet to find a problem. Too bad I will be modifying the ISO before installing since I don't want to flatten my computer again. Upgrade from RC1 to RTM coming soon!

Extreme control slowness. Guide, Menu, List, Live and recorded playback all are slow to respond. Report # 20090724-2686, if it finished sending before a hard lock of the machine.

Don't quote me, but I think the specs say that you can't go past 150' (Un-amplified) from switch to device. Beyond that, check your frequencies on the AMPs to ensure they hit the full spectrum up to 2.4 GHz as I believe the data channel resides way up there. For more definite answers, try...

You only need to point to 101 which has all of the SD channels on it. Of course, this does possibly exclude your locals.

Try checking with the Installer Zone from the main page of the forum. There you will find many people who can answer many installer related questions.

If I recall... Usually June/July starts the Sunday Ticket. If you're a AAA member, there is a thread for you, otherwise you're best trying to negotiate with several CSRs until you get the best deal.

Report 20090510-3C89 Model: HR21-700 Previous version: 0303 Problem: After running the update overnight, I powered on my TV and found a black screen and no guide data. Additional Info: Pressing info returned the information from when I restarted the receiver to download the new CE version. I...

Nice read. How do I get one of those for my basement?

I believe the cap for VZW is 5 Gb. We use VZW for our emergency data plan at work.
