    HR34 Slow Response, might this apply to the 44 and 54 also??

    My H34 has been really sloooooowwww as well, and I have called them about this issue in the past. What are they charging for an upgrade to the H54 for those who have traded their H34's in?

    Can i use an HDMI splitter to run mini-genie client to 2 tvs??

    I will have the H34 Genie in the theatre room, I will have one mini in the family room, one mini in the kitchen, and one mini in the bedroom. That left one TV unaccounted for. I considered getting a 4th mini, but thought that i could get away with 3 and spit the hdmi off the bedroom into the...

    Can i use an HDMI splitter to run mini-genie client to 2 tvs??

    I recently signed up with Directv after a 7 year hiatus. They will be installing the Genie with 3 mini genies. I am renovating a house and am looking at rewiring the house before Directv installs my new system. The question I have is that I want to run an HDMI out of one of the mini-genies to...

    4 foot dish vs. 6 foot dish, need input

    Thanks again guys for the input. I have definitely settled on the 6 footer after this discussion. My plan is to buy it from Sadoun since his shop is not far from my house. Will painting it compromise the reflection of the signal? What are some of the do's/dont's that one should be aware...

    4 foot dish vs. 6 foot dish, need input

    thanks guys, that's kinda what I was looking for. For instance, i was interested in knowing that you get abouy 20% of the CBand channels on a 4 foot and 80-95% on a 6 foot. If there really wasn't much difference, I would just stick with the 4 footer, but since there appears to be a pretty...

    4 foot dish vs. 6 foot dish, need input

    yes it does and thanks sanjap. The 95% quote is what I was interested in. I will also keep my 30" up for most of my ku-band needs. Thanks! If anyone else has any input it is much appreciated.....one can never have too much info to make a decision.

    4 foot dish vs. 6 foot dish, need input

    Unfortunately the 10 footer is out of the question for now. I guess a simpler question would be: What is the advantage of having a 6 foot vs. a 4 foot dish when it comes to Ku- HD (dvb-s2) signals or C-band signals?

    4 foot dish vs. 6 foot dish, need input

    My homeowners association won't let me have a BUD unfortunately. But I am going to strategically place trees and a fence line that will allow me to skirt the rules a little bit. I'm looking at putting either a 4 foot dish up or a 6 foot dish (both over homeowners rules). I have had a 30...
