    New HDDVR

    Guys, one last question. What internet sellers do you suggest? Will I have to pay the full retail price for it as well, instead of the $100 discount D* was giving me?

    New HDDVR

    Thanks guys, those are great ideas I didn't even think of. I didn't activate it so I should be able to return it.

    New HDDVR

    Guys, I recently decided to purchase a new HDDVR to replace my old one. I went to the D* website and ordered what I thought was the latest model. When it arrived, I was dissapointed to find that the model sent to me was the same model I am trying to replace. On top of that, there was no original...

    Big News: DirecTV 12 to take DirecTV 10 load for spotbeam fix attempt

    Folks, Is there anyway to know if the spotbeam fix will effect all markets? Or even which ones are now a go? I live in Southern California and was scheduled to get local HD a year ago. Then, my city was removed from the list. Is there anyway to tell if our region was "fixed"?

    E-mail or Phone Call?

    OK, there's a thought. I'll try switching out the bbcs. I have a couple extra, just need to look for them. I'll switch and let you know. I'm sure I can improve those signals. But it was getting dark and my only help was my 10yr old that needed to go to bed:) Thanks again, I'll do the bbcs...

    E-mail or Phone Call?

    Thanks raoul5788, I appreciate your help. I'm not sure how to go about it from here. I don't have a protection plan. I guess I'm just old enough to expect things to work the way they should without paying an extra $6 a month. My original post was whether or not e-mail or phone call was...

    I don't have the service plan, but I'm confident I can fix the alignment issue myself. I have a question though. Why would the alignment issue effect one DVR, but not the other?

    E-mail or Phone Call?

    I've switched the locations and both DVRs behaviors don't change. The silver is good. The black...bad. I have the 5LNB Slimline. No multiswitch. My signals on the 99c are: 19 48 24 51 15 45 24 52 15 44 24 50 19 48 My signals on the 103c are: 48 56 51 57 47 54 48 57 47 56 49 57 47 60

    Thanks for your response. I don't think its an alignement issue, because my older (silver) HDDVR still works.

    E-mail or Phone Call?

    Guys, My HDDVR became unwatchable after October's software update. Basically because of audio dropouts/picture breakup and unresponsive commands, I eventually had to remove all HD channels from my list. I found that I can view programming normally if I stay on SD channels. Since then, I held...
