    Help me decide...switch to Dish or stay with Direct

    I've been a DirecTV sub since they bought out PrimeStar and, while I've had my complaints, noting has been bad enough to make me consider switching. Now, with the Versus drop, Sunday Ticket price increase, and the impending Feb package price increase, I'm compelled to at least consider what...

    Occasional pixilation and sound distortion only on certian channels.

    I'm having the same issue in Dayton, OH. Sat 101 is showing signals on transponders 4, 12, 20, and 28...zero's on everything else. My dish is clear of snow/ice and everything was working fine until 1500 eastern time

    LNB Test Failed

    I had the same thing happen a few months back on an H20-100. Advice I received was "ignore it." I did and, eventually, I got a "passed" indication. I also haven't retested since then due to everything working fine. Good luck.

    Zinwell WB68 Multiswitch ???'s

    I've had one "semi-outside" for "about" 8 months now with no problems. In order to use the existing runs and grounding from the initial DirecTV install "I'm lazy) I purchased a 11MDEGYS (Large Outdoor Cable Demark Box, Gray) from HomeTech Solutions (Enclosure Boxes - HomeTech Solutions) and...

    From DirecTV: NBA, NHL and NFL Customers HD Swap Begins

    Does anyone know what receiver they'll "swap" in to replace MPEG-2 "standard" receivers? I've got a pair of old Sony B-10's and a Samsung. Will whatever the replacement units are be able to receive the HD data stream or do I need to bite the bullet and buy HD receivers as replacemements. I...

    LNB Output Failure H20-100 (with Zinwell WB68)

    Thanks for the info. I have 4 in and 5 out. Everything appears to be working fine so I'll just learn to live with the indication on the system test.

    LNB Output Failure H20-100 (with Zinwell WB68)

    Installed a Zinwell WB68 to add a 5t receiver. Noticed two things that have me puzzled. First, on my H20-100, the system test states "LNB Output Failure" but I seem to be receiving everything I'm subscribed to. Second relates to the Slimline dish. When I called to upgrade my system for the...

    HD Hockey Problems

    No, not in this case it isn't. I live in the Dayton, Ohio (Blue Jackets) area. The game was available "out of market" via Center Ice on channel 765. If the Jackets/local FSN had requested a blackout it would also have been unavailable on 765. D* just didn't get this one right and they seem...

    HD Hockey Problems

    Same here...over an hour talking to three reps. First one said she had no idea why and transfered me to HD rep. He said I should try to get it using my over the air antenna. Nice thought if it were available and if I wasn't 225 miles from Pittsburgh (even farther from Montreal). Third rep...
