I have a standard box that is currently collecting dust in my bedroom (no TV is attached), and am still paying the lease fee every month. I want to transfer that box to a motor home. Can I just hook the box up in the motor home? Do I need to call *D? What steps do I need to undertake? Thanks...

I guess I could've tried that. I'll probably just wait til the channels go live on Wednesday (or whenever) and call back. So much for a pre-emptive service call. :rolleyes:

Didn't work because local HD's aren't available in my area, and therefore I have no use for 103 (a).

My readings are anywhere from the mid-30s to the low 50s for the transponders on 103 (b). Obviously, I need a little realignment on the dish. So, I call D* to set it up (knowing full well they're about to be flooded with calls for the same thing). The CSR thinks I'm referring to local HDs (which...

I believe it says "searching for signal on sat 1 (771)."

My HR20-100S also passes the test (I get the "searching for signal" on ch. 499). My last software download was just a few days ago.

Yes, I do have the Slimline 5LNB. I'll have to get back to you on signal strengths because I'm not at home right now. No idea on if I have a multiswitch, but my guess is that I do. However, if I have one, it was installed when I first got D* about a year-and-a-half ago. I know for a fact...

So, I've had my HR20-100 for about a week. I came home Friday to find that the HR20 had "frozen up." I had turned off the HR20 the night before, and couldn't get it to turn on, even pressing the power button on the box itself. It was plugged in because I could hear it running. I unplugged it for...

Thanks for the help, harshness. I apologize for leaving out the third receiver in my original question. I do know that it is frustrating when information is left out. What is the problem in selling the unit to my father? I should just give it away? He offered to buy it.

He does have a third receiver. What new hardware do I need? No OTA antenna involved. As far as the dish goes, it's on the ground and the cables are buried. That's the issue there.

I am about to replace my HR10-250 with an HR20. I am selling my HR10 to my dad, who already has a Slimline dish and an HR20 in his living room. The HR10 is for his bedroom. He currently has a standard receiver in the bedroom with one coax cable leading to the receiver. However, I know that...

I searched the forum and didn't see this question, so I apologize if it's already been answered or if it's too basic. Anyway, I am currently a D* subscriber with an HR10-250. I am thinking of switching to cable. I currently use an antenna to pick up my OTA channels. My question is this: if...

I've had the same problem, albeit infrequently. Normally, the HR10-250 locks up when I'm watching college football on Saturdays and flipping back and forth between multiple games. But it hasn't locked up for a while now (in fact, I can't even remember the last time it did). All I did when it...

I got something in the mail from D* last week saying I could still buy ST for the regular price, but also get the Superfan pack for free (I believe the value of the Superfan package is $99). The offer is good until the end of the month.

Check out this link to see what the numbers mean. It's from "The Lost Experience," which was a big interactive game over the summer (didn't get into it myself). The big "reveal" is what the numbers mean. Another great episode last night, BTW. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PPCCcXarkc
