If you are using a receiver that came out of your house, and you had an HD SWM setup, you have to go through a setup and tell your receiver what dish you're using. This is a little tricky because you have to "escape" from the auto setup that your DTV receiver will want to do.

Gotta toss my $.02 on this one. I have been tailgating with my RV for 8 yrs and the last five I've had D* (E* before that) and while HD is GREAT, to me it's just not worth it. I have a 32" flatscreen and my 18" oval dish is SO easy to align and carry around. I can literally be up in 3 mins...

When I use my D12 in my RV (swm at home) I have to change the setup to "multiswitch" from SWM. Did you do that? I ALWAYS use the signal strength meter on the receiver. I feel it's easier than a meter. Hope this helps.

This is a tough one as I'm not familiar with the winegard. Question... Is the dish SD or HD? If it's SD, and all you're really looking for is the 101 sat, try to hit "exit" on the remote just as it begins setup. (this is REALLY early )in the process and then select the setup menu. You need to...

I can tell you this for sure. In our market (Cincinnati) the Reds games are ALL in HD (if FOXCin provides them) on D*... VERY few are in HD on E*. You may want to check in your market. :cool:

I signed up yesterday and I LOVE it. VERY simple to sign up and set up. I have not gone HDMI into my TV (from macbook PRO) yet but it works great and looks great.

I don't know what your history has to do with it but yes, SD channels are more likely to still be received during bad weather than HD channels. This is particularly true if your dish is misaligned. :cool:

Just be aware that you may not get your local network affiliates if you're beyond the spotbeam. I live in greater Cincy and have gotten (SD) as far as 150 miles south. HD may be more restrictive (or not... I'm not sure.) :cool:

I have a Panasonic DMR-HS2, I believe it's a 2003 vintage. This has a 40 gig HD in it but I find using it degrades the image somewhat. I have (knock wood) been able to record live HBO and DVRed HBO to DVD using it. I find that I must have an HDMI cable out to TV and then use RCA (red, yellow...

You have a number of issues. First off you SHOULD be able to put a connector and then use a barrel to get you to the receiver, BUT it might be a cleaner/stronger signal if you do a little disassembly and run an uncut cable to the receiver. If you use the "search" feature of this forum you'll...

You can modulate RF but if you're on a TV larger than about 20", I doubt you'll like it. Or let me say I know I would NOT like it. :cool:

You will be able to initiate a recording from the HD receiver. You will not be able to pause live TV and/or go back from that receiver. :cool:

I will start by admitting I cannot answer all your questions. However, you do NOT have a SWM. I suspect you mean Slimline (not swingline) dish. The SL3 on a phaseIII may require special alignment (suggest you search this topic using on this board for other replies.) As you might guess, if all...

As far as I know there is only one slimline dish but the LNB modules vary. The one that is being installed now has only one "cone" whereas the earlier ones had 3 (and maybe more, but smaller) "cones." I hope that answers your question. There was an oval dish which preceded the slimline. I...

Dishrich... thanks for the heads up. I called and got the HD fee waived for two years HOWEVER, the young lady could not offer me the ST package as she said it was OUTBOUND calls only. So my question is... do any of you that are considering the offer have a callback number from D* that I can try...
