Looks like "Overscan" to me. All TV signals have a specific frame and usually each TV displays a picture slightly less than the complete transmitted frame so you don't see any imperfections at the edge of the picture as not all cameras and signal processing are completely accurate where the...

One consideration would be if you plan on using an OTA antenna, the HS17 doesn't work well with the LCC (Local Channel Connector), where the HR54 will work just fine with the LCC. John

Very happy with the seasons' finale. Looking forward to next season. The series Arc with the Reddington and Liz story line had reached some sort of ending point.

I hope this continues, My Boat is KU only I would love to see more HD channels on 101.

Let's be real. The reason the Multi-channel third party providers are struggled is right in front of THEM within their reflection in the mirror. They simply can't understand it. It's shear Greed. When Multichannel TV service became popular in the mid 70's, CableTV's price was reasonable and...

All of the DirecTV satellites are in Geostationary Orbit, which is 22,236 Miles above the surface of the planet. This means NONE of these types of satellites are Capable of being brought back to the earth. All Geo Stationary satellites are moved several hundreds of miles above their working...

The Genie will power a SWIM LNBF directly, without a separate power supply for the SWM LNBF. The HR24 will not be able to provide enough power for a SWM LNBF, if you connected a Power supply between the LNBF and your HR24 at the second location should work just fine.

I had problems with my SWM LNBF a while back and it turned out to be the power supply to the SWM LNBF. I would guess you have a failing LNBF or the Power supply for it. John

My SD Locals from 119 disappeared this week, so no more local channels when I'm at my boat, BOO.

The reason for HD Duplicates at 101 is because a bunch of DirecTV subscribers like me (Boater) Most of DirecTV subs that are have service at their RV/Boats only have access to KU Band

Sure, but there could be KU Band HD Duplicates at 101, of the KA Band Channels for a subset of Core HD Channels from 103, and 99.

Using DirecTV outside of the US is a violation of your end user agreement, so I doubt the Cinema Connection kit will work with a NON US IP Address. More importantly DirecTV can "SEE" your ip address and will realize your receiver is being used outside of its service area and COULD or will...

The LCC only works with the Genie 1 (HR 44, HR 54). LCC will NOT work with all the other DirecTV receivers (HR21, H21, HR22, HR23, H23, HR24, H24, HR34) the AM-21 worked with. John

Here are two very good online predictors of your Locations' ability to receive adequate Over the Air TV signals. Tvfool.com or Antennaweb.org. John

One of the biggest missing features at Charter (For me) is the inability to have a whole Home DVR, as well as requiring a DVR FEE for each DVR in your home on top of a higher receiver fee for each DVR.
