If i go to the new SWM will the dish need to be re- aligned after it's installed? If i use the SWM on the HR21 I still need both inputs and BBCs right? With my existing cabling in place is there any advantage to the SL3S?

I currently have an early generation 5 LNB on a slimline dish. My LNB is flakey and I need to replace it, what is my best option for replacement? A SWM SL5S, SL3S, same model 5 LNB? I am also thinking of upgrading one of my HR20's to the new HR24, I would still have an H20 and HR21, any...

Thanks groovygoat, The only constant from the move is the stbs, the dish with LNB and b-band converters. I moved into a new house both times with brand new wiring. I don't use a multi switch, one of the stbs is H21 and the other is a HR21 with only one input being used for now, the 3rd is and...

Need help I have been experiencing random pixilation only on mpeg4 channels on and off for about a year on all 3 of my stbs. It was bad last summer then after I moved in the fall it went away and I assumed it was due to the cables not being tightened down all the way. Now it's back, every...

How do I know which dish I have? I know it's 5 LNB. Is a multiswitch external to the switch onboard the LNB dish, I'm only using the 4 outputs provided on the dish right to the receivers. It happens on both recievers which is what makes me think the problem is something external. Please tell me...

When the HRx reciever is plugged into the phone do they call out to D* other than to order PPV events like the old recievers did to download veiwing habits etc.? What about when hooked up to a network?

This is not a small intermitant problem, sometimes it goes on for an hour or more and makes it impossible to watch a show. My freinds who have the same or similar equipment do not seem to be having the same problem as me??? Is the severity of the problem common, I can't imagine that every...

Sorry, signal strenghts look good, any one in particular? SD and MPEG2 channels are always fine, this only effects MPEG4 channels.

Yes when the pixilation starts, when it gets really bad the audio drops out all together. The screen doesn't go com[pletely black, sometimes the picture still moves with artifacts of previous frames. I forgot to mention no trees or other obstructions blocking the dish, clear shot to the sky....

I need some help please. I have a HR20-700 and HR22-100 experiencing the same problem. When watching MPEG4 channels the picture sometimes locks up and breaks up, almost like rain fade except under clear skys. I first thought my HR20 was going flaky but I now have a HR22 which is doing the same...

I have a leased HR20 that I think is flaky, I'd like to deactivate it and replace it with a new receiver. My problem is I'm geographically challenged and I can't call d* to send someone out to swap stbs. Can anyone recommend the correct process for returning the defective stb to D*. Thanks

My HR10-250 is not connected to a land line, I force it to call in a couple of times a year, other than an annoying message to connect to the phone line Tivos will work just fine without ever dialing in. The confusion has been caused by the difference between a D* Tivo and a standalone, the...

Can anyone tell me if the HR20 is the same as the HR10 in terms of the need for contiunous connection to a land line (telephone)? My Tivo only needed to connect once and I have been able to use it without being connected all the time, Does the HR20 need to dial in at all in order to use the DVR...

Just received HR20 today in the mail, during setup does the unit phone home like the HR10s.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help.
