    Directv install questions

    Here's my install. Hopefully it's sub par. Can anyone tell me why I can't get the remotes that came with my H25's to work in RF mode? They are model #Rc66RX. Thanks.

    Directv install questions

    So, I've done this before, but it's also been a while. I recently picked up a slimline dish from somebody, it has the condensed LNB (one larger oval, as opposed to three separates, Part number SL3S4NR2-14). I need to run three H25's. Can somebody tell me what I need, or what my options are for...

    722 usb ports.

    I have a 722 vip and i just got the dish anywhere. It works decent how ever i had to unplug my 500 gig hard drive. So basically my question is, can i buy one of the usb thingys that makes 1 usb port into 2 or 3 or what ever and will it work so my hard drive and slingbox work simultaneously? fletch

    Three sats with two dishes.

    Ah gadday. I have a standard dish 500 dish with a dish pro plus lnb for 119 and 110 satellites. I installed a another dish (exactly the same one with same lnb) for the 129 sat and pointed it. I got 45 signal strength with it hooked directly to the reciever and tightend it down. Then i connected...

    help a noob! trying to get sat 110 to work

    Track vision can only see one satellite at a time and they are set to get the 119. you will never "see" more than one satellite at a time with a trac vision. They are made for mobile use not stationary.

    Dish NW Reception in Canada and Alaska?

    You can get the 148 with a 30 inch dish with stellar signal. youll need a 1m for the 119 for high 70's low 80's on the 119 and you can go 4' but i reccomend 6' for the 110. and that barely gets you mid 70's but it dosent go out when it decides to rain and we know how much that happens in...
