I have the HR21.

Hello. I have 5 HR21 receivers that I purchased at Best Buy. I want to upgrade them all with receivers that will record one show while I watch another. What should I get and where should I get them? Thanks.

I am in the Florida Keys and the elliptical dish does not work here. I have two 3ft dishes locked on to two satellites with good strong signal and I get all of the stations except HD. I subscribe to everything. I have a third one foot dish that I am trying to lock onto the HD satellite with. I...

OK thanks. Is there signal on 99 or 101 now, and if so, do I need it to get HD? I can get 37% strength on 103b and that is why I am tempted to try to figure out if a 48 or 60 inch dish will help. I found this elsewhere: To get most of the channels, you just need 101 for SD and 103c (same...

I found this: So far we have five verified connection schemes to combine multiple dishes at different locations to receive signals from all DirecTV satellites through trees and other obstructions .... 1. Use two AT9 dishes, one sited to receive 99/101/103-deg W and the other sited to...

I only have a high school diploma.... and even that was dodgy. I am getting some replies, but still don't understand which sats I need for HD and if a bigger dish will do it. Thanks.

I have 3 dishes in the Bahamas. One 36 inch dish pulling in 119 at 95%. Second dish is 36 inch pulling in 101 at 95%. Third dish is jury-rigged with a 5LNB slimline head. I can get 103B only at 36%. I do not know about 99 or 110. Trying to figure out if it is worth it to try a 48 or 60 inch dish...

Supplier for 48 or 60 inch dish? I am in the Bahamas and can get a signal strength of 36% for sat 103B using the Slimline 5LNB head and a 36 inch dish. Any suggstions where I can purchase a 48 or 60 inch dish to try to pull n more signal? Tks

5LNB Slimline install I have a slimline 5LNB head which I have mounted on a 36" dish in Exuma Bahamas. I get 95% on 110 and 95% on 119, but cannot get anything on 99, 101, or 103. Are these spot beams for Florida? And if so, am I out of range? Tks

Any luck with the 5LNB dish in the Bahamas? I am in Exuma and have mounted the slimline LNB to a 36 inch dish? tks

OK. I am considering the Zimwell WB68 Multiswitch along with the DirectTV 5LNB AT9 dish. It looks like I might be able to run coax from the the single LNB's from my existing 101 and 119 36" dishes.

Great input. Thank you. I did not know that I would need the 5LNB dish to get HD. Is there anyway to get an oversized 5LNB dish so that I can get HD? I always have reception problems where I am located.

I have two 36" dishes connected to an old Hughes Para todos multiswitch which allows four inputs from the two LNB's (8mhz and 13mhz). I get 95% signal strength from 101 and 119. I like the reliability of the big dishes and the ease of finding signal. I am thinking to install a third 36" dish for...

I have 3 Direct TV receivers that are dying. Model DRD435RH. They are 4 years old and were supplied by Direct TV. should I give them a call to see what they can do for me for new ones, or should I go buy something at Best Buy? I rarely record anything and play DVD's once a week. What should...

I have been down for 2 months now. Installers are saying BIG BIG Problem with G16 compared to G4R. Help line gets you knowhere. Installer says I have to upgrade to a bigger dish. Getting ready to call customer loyalty line to negotiate cancelation or upgrade. DSL is in my area now, but not...
