    Question about Genie

    I apologize if this is a bad repetitive question, but I have not been able to find the answer with a quick search. I currently have 2 HD DVRs and I am planning on adding a new HD TV to my household. I like the idea of whole home functionality to connect all of my DVRs. Am I able to use my two...

    Good deal NFL-ST

    Yesterday, I called and got free Superfan saving me a hundred bucks. I guess I could have pushed it for more discounts, but I'm glad I at least got something. Thanks for the heads up...

    New Upgrade Setup Question

    I'm not sure what you mean. But, the installer came out last weekend and installed the tripod on the roof with the new dish. The new dish IS really much bigger than the old one. the Tripod is pretty huge and ugly up on the roof, but it looks sturdy and I am getting a signal from all of the...

    New Upgrade Setup Question

    Jimbo/Raoul - thanks a bunch for your quick responses. There are unfortunately no options on my property to run a line and mount the dish on the ground. I am in a rather forested area and the only way I have found to get LOS to the satellites is a couple of feet above the top point on the roof...

    New Upgrade Setup Question

    Thanks everyone for your responses. Since I am in a heavily wooded area, I can't get a signal if I do not put the dish on my roof. In addition, with my current dish, it was put on a pole on the roof to raise it a couple of feet (not 10) so that it's line of sight was over the tree line...

    New Upgrade Setup Question

    Thanks for the response. I believe the current dish is mounted with a 2 inch diameter pole, but the new dish is much bigger and it will be on my roof, but it needs to be elevated a couple of feet from the normal height of the stand due to my tree line. My installer said that due to this, it...

    New Upgrade Setup Question

    Thanks for your response, but this does not seem realistic. If you are talking about a 2 inch pole, it will likely not be high enough to get the signal. If you are talking about a 2 FOOT pole, won't it cause a problem with the size of the new dish pulling off my roof?

    New Upgrade Setup Question

    I currently have an HD setup with the "old" dish and the HR10-250. Due to numerous trees in my area, my dish is mounted on a pole in order to get the HD signal. Last weekend I was scheduled to get the upgraded dish and the new HD-DVR. The installer came by and told me that the new larger dish...

    Sending Programs Between DVRs

    Excuse my ignorance - I did a quick search and could not find anything. Is there a way to send recorded programs from one DVR to another? Wirelessly or through the internet? Thanks

    EI Exclusive to D*?

    I am a direct TV subscriber and I will probably continue to get the baseball package along with the basketball package and the football package. However, anyone that think that this deal is beneficial for them other than Direct TV employees must be smokin' some strong hashish. If there is...

    Certain HD Channels Not Coming In at Night

    Just a final update. Last weekend a Direct TV Service Person came to my house and replaced the multi-switch (again) and replaced the LNBs. I have not had trouble with any channels since that time. Also, due to the series of unfortunate events mentioned previously, they credited my account for...

    Certain HD Channels Not Coming In at Night

    I just wanted to post an update for what it is worth. I was scheduled for a service call on Saturday between 8 and 12. 12:00 came and went with no service provider. I called DirectTV and, of course, had trouble getting through because it was a Saturday. When I finally spoke with someone...

    Certain HD Channels Not Coming In at Night

    Thanks for all of your suggestions. I will try and get the service person to replace the LNBs when they come on Saturday morning. By the way, although I only have one HD television and most of the recent problems have related to the HD channels, I have also seen some issues with other channels...

    Certain HD Channels Not Coming In at Night

    I would appreciate any suggestions regarding my system. About 2 months ago I purchased an HD televison. At that time, I chose to upgrade to the HR10-250 (not having the patience to wait for the new DVR). I am experiencing a weird situation where some HD channels do not come in while others...
