I did get the signal back. Which also isn't unusual. I get the latter, go up & just start messing with everything I see. Might just push up on the dish a bit. Tighten some bolts, maybe that won't work, so might double/triple check connectors, tighten those. Might wiggle the wires around...

This is super annoying. D* Installed this past spring, April. Never had any signal loss up until a few weeks ago, where it went out all day & night. I got up on our roof, just pushed the dish around a bit (didn't mess with alignment). Just thought it was maybe off a hair, IDK. But doing this...

Versus, just sign a damn deal. If you aren't on DirectTV, then all of a sudden most of the nation goes from having you, to not having you. Think of all the ad revenue lost. I don't know the nature of the negotations, but both sides need to get this done. I'll be honest, I do need versus...

yeah, for some reason my hr-23 has been real slow (at times) the last few days. Before that, not too much problem. Then the past few days, sometimes the delay is extremely slow, then a minute later some commands are responding quick. Considering we've only had D* since early april, I doubt...

Just curious, since I don't get any new channel updates any other way and have custom guides, I worry that when a new channels goes HD (or gets added), that I won't know about it. And I only check in here maybe once a week, so I don't have time to go through every post in the past week or more...

I know our reciever had "hide SD channel duplicates" enabled by default, thus maybe he wouldn't see 2 of each channel. Also, we have all local HD now, but none of the channels are actually listed as HD. Just the normal call letters, but no "HD" at the end. And on a couple local channels there...

Still getting used to my D* reciever and navigating on demand. I can find a lot of HD movies, but I'm told there are 1080p movies available, however I don't know how to find them. How do I know the difference between regular HD and 1080p? I've looked through many of the popular rentals, but no...

Yeah you can definitely lockout channels, and when you hit the guide button twice it brings up another way to sort channels (like sports, educational, ect.). Then you can also make a couple different customized favorites lists, along with the quickview thing where you can store your 9 most...

I've been through the settings on my HR23. I'm new to D*. Just had E*, and those recievers would shut down every night and check for updates. These HR23's (and a regular HD reciever) don't seem to do that, or if they do I've never noticed. Nor can I find a setting that mentions anything about...

Pixellation once again last night, it always gets worse at the same times like during pregame, then during the actual game its not as bad, but all FSN pittsburgh games I've watched since getting dish have certainly been less than optimal. They were great on E*. Is this issue just bad timing...

I am 100% sure that the game was not on any local channels last night. Yet it was still blacked out. That is pretty messed up. When doing a free preview, you want to show how great EI is and want people to buy it. But when people are trying to check in on their teams and getting blacked out...

I had E*, and things were OK for a while, but then they started falling behind in national HD, and still are. Then they still haven't added HD locals for our area (are you pittsburgh market? If so you get them with D* or E*, if you are altoona market like myself, you can only get them via D*...

This was the 1 day I wanted to watch free EI, and my game is blacked out! Wanted to watch the pirates game as its not being televised in our area, so I clicked on the channel its supposed to be on (730), and it said it was blacked out and that there was not another channel it was on. So we...

Just wanted to note this as this was something I didn't expect. I am new to D* and definitely watch some VH1 programming. With E* I was so used to the compressed to hell SD feeds like when I watched Rock of Love last week (hey, I like to watch train wrecks, don't judge!). So I tune in this...

UPDATE: Todays game is about to start, watching pregame, super awful pixellation. This sucks! I hope this is happening to E* subs as well, otherwise, I'd be upset @ D* because the pens games are easily the most important HD broadcasts I watch. It must be the FSN feed though, cuz it went...
