Had trouble getting channel 269 last night and then noticed a number of the new HD channels were not coming in. One of the channels had a banner that said they were experiencing technical difficulty -- it was one of the new MPEG4 HD channels in the 200s but I do not recall which. Since I never...

Has the update been pushed to boxes yet? Does this update also have the one-click guide option? Thanks

Just called D* again and got the same answer -- they are not showing it yet. The CSR also told me I could not request a specific model and that they could only request that a HD receiver be sent to me -- so it could be a H20. The CSR suggested I wait until I could pick one up at retail so I...

Do you know if Directv is selling them yet? WHen I called the person had no clue what I was talking about. SHe said they had no info on a new H21 receiver. My local Best Buy did not have them so I was hoping to get one directly from D*. Thanks

80 on transponder 11 in NJ with some rain. 0s for all others.

Please post how you resolve the issue.

I have the same issue in NY. I do not have a long run and it happens only on the new HD locals (CBS, ABC, NBC, and Fox). I have the same readings you do but the highest reading is no lower than the highest transponders on the other birds so I do not hting it is a dish pointing issue. Do you have...

I see the same exact thing happen, but only on my HD locals (2, 4, 5, and 7 in NY) that I just started received through D*. Do you kow if these channels are on the same satellite as TNT HD? Is it the 103 satellite? I was thinking that it was a transmission issue and not a dish pointing issue...

Thank you!!!! Sorry for not being clear. The first dish that is working has the 6x8 external multi switch made for the AT 9 and has 4 lines comming off of that multi switch. Since I have only 4 lines, seems I do not need the miulti switch. But I am leaving it alone now as it's working...

Thank you Jimbo!!! If I get a DVR it would replace the single H20 box I have connected to the new 5LNB dish. Can I swap out the lone receiver and run 2 lines off of the 5LNB dish without adding a multiswitch? (I have two lines coming into the house from the dish but not sure the second...

Well, had 3 additional techs visit. They conclued that since the second dish only feeds 1 tv, it should not have a multiswitch and that the dish or signal was being confused by the presence of the multiswitch. He removed the multiswitch and it worked. They took a long time to figure it out and...

Not sure what any of that is but will sure raise it with the tech when he is there on Monday. Thank you very much for your thoughts.
