Right now I have a Slimline-3 Dish with a non-SWM LNB. I am thinking about possibly getting an HR34 and/or adding another reciever, so I want to know what I will need to convert my legacy setup to a SWM setup. Would someone mind detailing the equipment that I'd need to buy in order to do this...

I have noticed commercial insertion issues as well.

Oddly enough, the only issues like this I've noticed are with TBS recordings. Audio skips only for stuff recorded from TBS (on my HR24)

Haha, thanks!! Worked out surprisingly well, there is virtually zero delay on the video call as well.

Yep... I have 95% or higher on all sats and TPs. Everything is firmly tightened and I have the monopoles installed for support... Thanks guys! Neighbor of mine has DTV and rain fade has not been a huge issue down here and even with the occasional drops it's by far the best choice for TV...

So, uh, I don't know what happened, but after leaving the box unplugged for a while, it's started working again. Strange.

Haha, that's more impressive than I thought. Thanks again guys. Wanted to get the signal as good as possible to eliminate as much rain fade issues as possible here in South FL, as summer is on its way!

Excellent news, thanks!

I just mounted & aligned a Slimline 3 dish by myself (no meter, used the more "interesting" route of setting up a receiver, pointing a webcam to the signal strength screen, and using a video call via Skype to my cell phone to align it :D) Anyway, I've got 95%+ signal strength on all...

I have an H23-600 that seems to have crapped out. I get no satellite signal (nothing has changed) and I have connected it to the same outlet my HR24 is connected to and there's still nothing. Is this a common problem? The thing I'm really worried about is the replacement. If I call DirecTV, can...

Ok, here's the situation... I "moved" to NY months ago giving DirecTV a relative's address in New York. The same relative is now signing up for DirecTV service at that address. Best course of action? Will DirecTV care/notice that there's a duplicate service address on two accounts? Should I...

That was actually a good show :P

FWIW I have had DirecTV in South Florida for over 5 years and experienced VERY few rain fade issues.

Nitpicking here but technically Blu-Ray is still compressed. It's certainly at a much higher bitrate than D*, but it's still compressed.

I always remember having the artist/song/album info when listening to the music channels, but I just noticed that it is no longer available. Is this normal? Not getting it on any of the Sonic Tap channels. Receiver is an H20-100.
