    Citadel stations off Directv

    I'm in Lincoln. Channel 8 is now carrying the Channel 13 feed out of Kearney. Channel 13 had the same dispute at this time two years ago, and the station was off air for almost a week I think, and I seem to remember reading almost exactly the same reason then. At least I don't have to reset...

    Ground floor apartment, am I good on LOS?

    I'm in Lincoln, NE. I currently live in a second floor apartment with my dish on the balcony mounted to a non-penetrating desk mount as required by my complex. The ground floor apartment directly below me is available, and I'd like to move down. I used the DishPointer app to take this...

    Questions about apartment installation

    I did see some pole mounts also, but I wasn't lucky enough to get a ground level unit. I will request the non-penetrating deck mount. Any idea if there will be an extra charge for that? Thanks for the info!!!

    Questions about apartment installation

    I will be moving into an apartment in zip code 68506. The complex is okay with satellite dishes as long as they are not "attached" to the deck or railing (I wasn't lucky enough to get a first floor unit). I saw several dishes in the complex on south-facing decks. My question is, how do I go...

    Adding a Sirius receiver to the home entertainment system

    I'm going to be adding the SRH2000 Sirius receiver to my setup using the Home Signal Distribution Kit for satellite and cable wiring. The installation instructions are fairly vague, but since my dish is mounted on a mast in the ground, I'm going to use the after multiswitch installation where...

    Three DVRs wiped clean!

    Thanks for the response. I really don't hold out much hope of getting the recordings back. Now, however, I don't trust my DVRs not to do this again! I've had receivers go bad and hard drives go bad but never had hard drives completely wiped. Very frustrating!

    Three DVRs wiped clean!

    I came home from work tonight to discover that all three DVRs (HR22s on whole home) had been wiped clean. All recordings GONE. An entire season of Sons of Anarchy gone. The newest three episodes of Walking Dead gone. Half a dozen movies gone. I called DTV, naturally they had me reset the...

    Contract Extension Chart

    I moved with Dish Movers a few months ago. The CSR that scheduled my move did not say anything about replacing my receivers (1 HR22 and 2 R22s). I specifically asked at the time I scheduled the install if I would incur a new 24 month commitment with this move. The CSR told me no. When the...

    SatelliteGuys Mafia War Players Unite!

    It's not 7-11. It has to do with the Tagged website, another social network site that was forced to close Mafia Wars. The Tagged players were given a code to get something like 700 GP for migrating to Facebook. There was a glitch (surprise surprise) where anyone with the code could use it...

    MRV and DECA are now Live Nationwide

    I have my HR22 and R22 receivers using MRV through the "unsupported" ethernet method. The R22 is hardwired to the router, the HR 22 is connected to a Linksys wireless gaming adapter. Everything worked fine in the beta period and for a few days after having MRV activated. The other night I...

    External monitor with laptop

    Kevinw, I have tried every which way to get it to work. Don, the documentation for the monitor and the annoying pop-up on the screen says optimal resolution is 1920x1080. It worked when I first connected it....until I toggled off the laptop's monitor. Everything then went haywire. My laptop...

    External monitor with laptop

    I'm trying to connect a Samsung 2333HD monitor to my Dell Studio 15 laptop using the standard video cable connection. I canNOT get the Samsung to set to the proper resolution (1920x1080). I can set the resolution to the optimal for the laptop (1920x1200) but that looks stretchy on the ex...

    Argh, new forced software download @ 11:30am

    I reset my receiver, and everything started working again Kind of a hassle for nothing new. If I'd seen a three hour program guide, it wouldn't have been quite so annoying. :D

    Argh, new forced software download @ 11:30am

    My timers are messed up. They are still in the system, but they aren't working properly. American Idol *looks* like it's recording, but I can't access it from my List, no DVR functions when watching the program. Can't pause, FF, rewind, nothing.
