    Genie/ client issues

    Claude, I have had several HR54s having Moca communications issues in the last two weeks. I am not sure if DIRECTV is having an issue with the latest software update, but getting the clients to talk again is a trial and error thing and what makes it work is not necessarily logical. Several of...

    Frequently Getting 775?

    775 is a SWM communication error. With your receiver list, you should not have a tuner count issue, however SWM communcations happen at 2.3 mhz, and errors can be caused by signal drops or reflections. These could be caused by a bad F termination on the wallplate rg6 jumper, or behind the wall...

    Found 2 625 dish receivers

    If you send them back, you may get credit, and they will refurbish to be used for Dish Mexico. 2 less things in the Landfill. IMHO

    A dish and a porchscreen.

    Plastic screen is not an issue. I have installed many balcony/patio dishes behind screen here in South Florida. I have even installed several inside apartments shooting through windows for customers that just had to have some channel and did not have a view from their balcony. Signal will not go...

    Video - Hopper 3 Demo

    My question is, will it do this if you don't have a 4K TV? I have a 70" 1080p TV, but would still enjoy this functionality, even at lower resolution.

    Commercial Account Cost Questions

    David, It all depends on the work required to get the wiring done. Their labor rate sounds good. We charge $100/hr for commercial in S Florida, but the number of hours sounds high. Additionally, the HD Receivers should be $99 not $125 as that is DIRECTV's retail price for commercial HD...

    Last night I dreamed that DirecTV added subchannels. They just didn't have guide info.

    You do get the sub channels on DIRECTVs off air module.
