    first time set-up

    I'm in Edmonton, Alberta. I have the 1.2 meter DTVKAKU Alaska/Hawaii dish and LNB but still have issues with HD signal strength. I'm hoping to find a solution and a 2.4 meter dish should work but I don't think I can use my current LNB

    Would that new LNB work on ANY 2.4 meter offset dish?

    DIRECTV reception in Edmonton, Alberta

    I have been using the 1.2 meter Alaska/Hawaii dish with the DTVKAKU 99/101/103 LNB for years now. My problem is that my signal levels on 99 and 103 are not that great compared to 101. I get 97-100 for 101 but I get 30-60s on 99, 30s-70s on 103cb and 0-70s on 103 ca. I hear that most people with...

    Is this possible? (concerning U.S. networks i.e. ABC/CBS/NBC/FOX/CW/MNT

    What would the possibility of DIRECTV setting up 10 channels (5 HD and 5 SD) of the 5 major networks ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CW and MyNetworkTV that would only come on during national (non-local) programming? An example would be the ABC channel being dark until ABC programming begins in the morning...

    MyNetworkTV availability

    Is there any way to get a MyNetworkTV affiliate if you don't get your local MyNet from DIRECTV? I get the Spokane locals on my HR-21 but the MyNetTV channel doesn't appear.

    Weird HR20-700 issue

    2 to 3 times per week I'll come home and my receiver is turned on. I leave it on standby when I go to work so I know that no one turns it on. Does anyone here have this issue as well or any possible reasons as to why this is happening? Other than that, everything else with the receiver is fine.

    Would this LNB work for a channel master 1.2 meter round dish?

    Yeah i know, sorry about that. My CM is not a DIRECTV made dish but I'm wondering if it was still interchangable with that particular LNB. I always thought round dishes could not pick up more than one sat at a time.

    DIRECTV Alaska system

    I have seen that subscribers in Alaska have to use 2 1.2 meter dishes in order to receive all 5 sats. Where can someone order this setup? While it's not as convenient or pretty as a slimline, it may be what I need here in the northern state of Alberta. (Edmonton)

    DIRECTV SlimLine Dish in Edmonton, Alberta

    The reason I ask is because of how far north I live. Apparently there are signal issues in Edmonton and I was wondering if anyone knew if the slimline pulls in decent signals on all 5 satellites.

    DIRECTV satellite 103b question

    I live in Canada and have a single 1.2 meter round dish just to get the main channels on satellite 101. If I wanted to get the national HD channels on 103b, can I just get another round dish pointed to 103 to accomplish this? Would it work? I can't use a 5 LNB slimdish because I live too far up...
