    Protection Plan

    I've been a D* for 12 years now. I've subscribed to the protection plan for the last 2 years. I've had "error 771 issues" as well as the need to "peak" my dish over the last couple of weeks. I have become very frustrated with the ability to get a tech to my house. Even with the protection...

    Quick question...I have 2 lines running to my daughter's receiver and we just moved her TV. Of course one of my sat. lines is too short. I used a barrel connector to add a six foot coax to get the line to the receiver. Problem......it worked fine UNTIL I had a new multi-switch installed this...

    Locals Moving from 72.5 in Wausau, WI Market

    Wausau Market I live in the Wausau area and was not aware of any immediate changes to the locals. I am under the impression that nothing will be changing until the new D11 sat is operational. I'm also curious when we might see our HD locals??? The most recent announcement didn't even have...

    ESPN Channel 206

    Sorry if this is covered someplace else, but I couldn't find much. For the last 10 days, whenever I tune to channel 206, I get a "Searching for satellite signal...(error 771)" message. The first few times, I got this for just a couple of seconds and then ESPN was on. Today, I got the message...

    Recording Problem on HR20-100

    While attempting to record American Idol tonight, I noticed that it was not recording. When I went to "History" it said, "This episode was canceled because of an unexpected error.(3)" I never had this happen before. Any thoughts? Thanks

    DOD Operational in hr-20-100

    Pictures on TV? I've been reading posts that say you can transfer images from a PC to my HR20-100 receiver that is networked. Is there a folder for this somewhere? How is this possible??? Is this possible?

    HR20-100 System Test

    I have 2 HR20-100 receivers and just did a system test on both. The first one was fine, but my second one showed "failed" for LNB Output. It is working fine and my signal strengths are fine too? What does this mean? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

    HR20-100 Problems

    Do you have software version 0x18a? I have 2 HR20-100 receivers. One is black and one is silver. Both have the previously mentioned software version. The silver one is the one I've noticed is "freezing" up. Is this something D* should be made aware of...especially if it is a software issue...

    HR20-100 Problems

    My HR20-100 has been freezing with the video staying static on the screen, but the audio continuing. Is this a receiver problem or could it be my HDMI connection?

    Entertainment TV problems

    Has anybody had any problems with Entertainment TV, channel 236 pixelating in and out. The audio is there, just the picture goes in and out. This was evident on HGTV, channel 229 earlier today as well. Any thoughts?
