Just noticed that I am receiving Starz East in HD and SD. I'm not subscribed to the Starz Movie pack. Was wondering if this was added to the Ultimate Package or if it was just a mistake by AT&T/Directv?

I noticed that, although D14 is operational, I still have no 99(ca) satellite in the list on my receiver. What's up with that? Any input greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Noticed the other day on the signal strength meter, the 99 satellite had more transponders added. Right now they are showing zeros. Does this mean the newest Directv satellite is operational?

Called DTV Sunday and got them to send me a Genie and a mini Genie for free. Don't know which Genie I'll be getting, so here's my question. Right now I have my main HR-24 hooked up to my home network with an Ethernet cable into switch. When I get the Genie and the mini, can I still use this...

That's what mine has. So hook the PI into that and I'm good to go, right?

How can I tell which one is a power passing leg on the splitter?

I have a splitter in the basement where the cable comes in from the dish. Can I move the PI down to that and hook it up to the splitter and then run RG6 cable to the wall mounts in each room where I have a receiver? Will that work?

I have one cable from the dish. What kind of splitter should I use? Also, how would I mount the multiswitch and power inserter in the cabinet?

Ok, here's another thought. If I were to put a structured media center in my basement for phone, whole home Ethernet, etc., would I be able to put a multiswitch in the media center for my Directv system? As I mentioned earlier, it's a SWM system. Is there a multiswitch available to carry an...

Here's my situation. Planning a remodel in my living room and want to hook satellite receivers up to a cable wall jack. I am going to run RG6 to the wall jack. Here's my question, how can I do this since I have a SWM system and have the power inserter in the equation. Any help with this...

Had this problem last summer here with the heat wave we had. Had a tech come out. He checked all the connections outside and some were minimally lose. He tightened them and replaced the power inserter with a higher voltage power inserter since the cable run was over 100 ft from dish to...

When do you think Ion will be added?

Just wondering when ION is going in HD mode. We get ION from Washington DC here and still no ION in HD.

That's cool. I can be patient.

Did you get my PM?
