I love the new HR24. If only they can peak my dish correctly I would be in business!!!!

I still had no luck with Directv contacting me via email about sending out someone who knows what they are doing! I can not use my cell phone at work and I told them to email me when they could send an installer. I'm losing my HD signals big time to rain fade. I ran another system/info test...

Ok, I hope they send out someone who knows what they are doing!!!!!!!

Do you think I should wait on D* 12? Is it because they are working on D* 10 my HD signals are low?

No trees, I did trim some over growth that looked like it could be causing trouble. I did that before the installer came back. He did hook his meter up. I think I need to contact Directv and request a different installer. I do notice lose of HD in light rain, GEEZ. I hope they can get these HD...

Huh? D10, D12? What is that?

Thanks for the info. I think I'm going to wait until my internal is full.

Is there any way to improve 103 and 99? I ran a system test and still get your dish needs to be aligned, diagnostic code 43-72-478. I know one of those is because a phone line is not connected.

I have a new HR24-500 and I want to connect an external sata hard drive. Does this replace the internal hard drive or can you transfer your recordings to it?

Cool, good to know. Thanks!

The installer finally made it out to peak the dish. He told me whoever installed the dish original did not do it right. It was not level. Here are the signal levels now. Please let me know if this is correct. 99c: tuner 1 - 80% tuner 2 - 84% 101: tuner 1 - 98% tuner 2 - 98% 103(ca): tuner 1 -...

I love my HR24-500. I called Directv to order a new remote and the customer service rep told me I had a free upgrade. I said ok, what is it? A free HD DVR, all I had to do was pay $19.99 for shipping. Super fast! This is my first HD DVR and it is totally awesome!!!!

What is the AM21?

I was wondering what the USB ports are for on my HR24-500? Can I plug an external hard drive into the USB ports? I know there is a sata connection there for an external hard drive. I already have an external USB hard drive and just wanted to make sure it would work. :confused: Thanks!

I called the installer and he is coming out today to peak the dish. I hope he can do it correctly. We shall see. The HR24 is AWESOME. Thanks to everybody who helped me on here. You guys rock!!! I'll keep you posted.
