    HD locals added on 4/19/06

    So, the only way to see these new HD LiL channels is with an AT9 and an H20, right? Is D* offering any upgrade specials? I'll probably wait for the HR20 but it's tempting to jump in now that I know the locals are up. With no DVR capability though I'm not sure how much I'd watch them.

    I'm trying to figure out my minimum monthly payment if I take advantage of this offer. DishHD Bronze 49.99 Locals $5 DVR Fee $6 Lease Fee $6 Total $66.99/mo Is this correct?

    Roof Dish Mount Only Option?

    Is there any type of under-eave mount that is strong/sturdy enough for the AT9? I have a tile roof and stucco siding so it's my only real option. I have my phase III mounted to one now but I guess it wont work anyway because the mast needs to be larger? Has anyone succesfully installed an AT9...

    R15 Issues

    I think this has to do with if your TV supports discrete on/off commands or not. If it doesn't then the "TV on/off" buttons only turn the R15 on/off which makes no sense, but that's the way it works.

    new dish pictures

    My current Phase III dish is installed with a J "under eve mount" because I have a tile roof and stucco siding. Will the new dish be able to install on the same mount or is it too big/heavy?

    0 signal on 1 of 4 lines: cause?

    Each cable is directly connected to the switch on the LNB. I guess it has to be either a bad cable, a bad connection at the switch or a bad switch? What would D* charge to come out and look at this? Is it included in their $7.99/mo fee? If I sign up for that and have them come out how...

    0 signal on 1 of 4 lines: cause?

    I just recently did a self install of a new system with a phase 3 dish. I have one R15 hooked to two of the outputs and a D11 hooked to a third. Everything has been working fine for over a week. I went to move the D11 tonight and the 4th line was totally dead, zero signal strength (I get...

    Song title, artist, etc on screen with XM?

    I've only used the D11 a few times, mainly to do my Dish setup and pointing before my R15 arrived and to check if it displayed the song info on screen. I really hope they change that. Having to hit info every-time you want to see the song info seems like a pain. I haven't tried to use the...

    Song title, artist, etc on screen with XM?

    I just activated my D* service a couple of days ago. I have an R15 and a D11 and I'm not seeing any song information with either receiver. The D11 is just a black screen and the R15 has a silhouette of a guy playing the saxophone (that doesn't appear to move BTW). The only way I've been able...

    VE R15 scheduled to ship on 11/8/05

    Yea, there's a BIG difference between Friday and Monday. It meens a whole week (at least) for me as I need to mount and point the dish and it's dark by the time I get home during the week. Plus, the weather is a factor. It's supposed to be be nice this weekend but who knows about next weekend...

    VE R15 scheduled to ship on 11/8/05

    CRAP! Looks like not 'till Monday for me :(. I was REALLY hoping to get it by the weekend for the install. I'm in northern California and it was supposed to ship from Southern California but it spent all afternoon and night bouncing around Arizona. :no WTF!

    Possible E* Convert

    There is no seperate $12/mo fee, but it depends on what you mean by ALL the features. The Stand Alone and Directivo run different versions of the TiVo software and have different features. I don't have either but I'm sure if you have a question about specific features someone here could answer...

    VE R15 scheduled to ship on 11/8/05

    I'd rather be getting nothing than two receivers I don't want. My original order clearly says R15 w/ dish, but my "order has shipped" email says Dish and 2 "Basic Receivers". I'm trying to decide if I should refuse the shippment if I'm here when it shows up. It is a little troubling that he...

    VE R15 scheduled to ship on 11/8/05

    I got an email with tracking number saying two "basic receivers" shipped to me today. Problem is I requested an R15 and NO basic receivers. So far I haven't received a reply to my PM or email asking what is going on. Hopefully just a typo and my R15 is on the way? (Keeps fingers crossed).
