This might be well known on this forum, but I thought I'd throw this out there... I had a DTC-210 which suddenly developed a problem of no picture or sound. It would generate a menu and schedule guide. The satellite strength on all three satellites was 85-95... I called DTV Tech Support...

Determined the Problem... no picture or sound but menu and I'm posting a new topic in case this happens to anyone else....a bad access card... Thanks to everyone who offered a suggestions

I've scheduled DTV to come to the house to try to figure this one out... Hard resets have not worked.... if I have time today, I'll try taking a good receiver and hooking it up to the projector... What happens if I take an access card from one of my regular receivers and insert it into...

Other Video sources (X-Box and DVD) work... remember I'm seeing the DTV guide and banner so I'm assuming that the DSS feed to my projector is good... Very frustrating and I appreciate the input...

Rockaway... I'm not getting any sound ... just a "muted" black screen with the DTV generated guide... Nothing about "searching for satellite or error code "771"... just a blank screen... if I pull out the access card, I get the access card error... I have not tried the receiver(s) on my...

Thanks for reply to my post... Tried all of that and even spoke to three tech reps... Nothing seems to work... Curious... what does it look like if my access card is bad?

I cannot for the life of me figure out what's going on... When I returned from vacation, I fired up my HDTV set-up which was utilizing a RCA DTC210. I'd get on my projector the banners and guide from DTV, but absolutely no picture (black screen) and sound... all sattelite/transponder...

Great Post I was a Dish subscriber at about $100 per month. I switched to D* on January 7th for all of the reasons sighted above. I even did so with the MPEG 4 announcement by D*... I just can't let another round of NFL and NBA playoffs happen without HD. Even if it costs me money if I have...

I switched to D* on Jan 7th I made a threat and then followed through... The ABC-HD and FOX-HD additions in December is what did it for me. D* also announced at CES that ESPN2 will be added... The E* CSR was also very professional about my changing providers. I did ask him to...

After reading the great comments on Value Electronics, they did indeed get my order... No offense to Best Buy, but I'd rather give my money to a forum sponser...

I've been with E* since 2001.... and I posted in the Dish HDTV poll thread that the announcement that D* started to broadcast ABC-HD to eligible markets (which I'm part of) was the straw that broke the camel's back ... I also beleive that there will be nore defections from E* to D*. In the...

Not a problem... I'm considered NYC Metro area

ABC-HD now available on D* Well, according to AVS Forum, D* now has ABC-HD up and running, just in time for the BCS bowl games.... Added to the fact that D* also is carrying FOX-HD, NBC-HD, and CBS-HD the time has come... With well over $20,000 of equipment in my HT, switching to D* is...

I'm not sure if this belongs in a different thread... All that I am asking for is a duplication of the offerings that D* has for the three networks (notice how I didn't ask for ABC). Who wouldn't want CBS, FOX, and NBC in HD provided by their satellite provider? No antennas or rotors which...

A response to the O&O Networks I understand about the restrictions E* is under... But if D* can offer O&O CBS-HD, FOX-HD, and NBC-HD, then why can't E*... I beleive the most compelling HD content is still the network shows. I'd love to catch 24, House, ER in HD... I have a unique...
