I have all H20 receivers right now and understand Ill need to add an extra piece of hardware to make this work?

All, I'm a current DTV sub but as of late had issues with the dish so I'm ripping everything out and starting new. I have a townhouse thats wired primarily for cable (one coax to each room) so I'm thinking that buying one of the new SWM SL5S is the way to go along with a new HR24 DVR in the...

There is really no reason to use a phone jack unless you want the PPV. I have been running all of my recievers at my country home for 2 years plus w/o any telephone connected. AdamR

Just so everyone knows, I talked to about 5 people in the process of getting these boxes activated and not once did anyone tell me I would have to buy a card. If they did though, I would have just hung up and called back. I hope this can prove that it is _NOT_ a DirecTV policy to have to buy a...

SUCCESS!!! UPDATE : I now have purchased 6 (six) D10's off of eBay and been able to activate EVERY ONE of them. All 6 were previously activated by someone else and the cards were NOT virgin. I was able to, without trouble, activate each and every one of them. I even activated 3 of before I...

I would really appreciate someone answering this ... I am going nuts! :)

All, I just finished installing my dish the other day. Due to some complications (screws breaking off) I was not able to get a perfectly plumb mast and had to tweak the alignment by hand. Because of this I was only able to attain a signal of 78 on the meter. My questions : 1) I have...

thanks for the reply. I will be installing an HD box but I have not purchased it yet. Are there any links or tips you can give me to help me install a multi satellite dish with hd.

All, I am looking to get a HD reciever from eBay but I need to know what to look for. From reading on this forum, I am looking for a sealed P5 card, right? Thanks AdamR

[N00B] Which access card ..

All, I have read a bunch of threads here and followed numerous links but I am really looking for a definitive answer as to whether I can self install a triple LNB dish and align it myself to get all of the normal channels and HD. I already have an account just not dish at the new place. Any...
