    Using remote more effectively

    Hi all, how are you? Does anyone know the most effective way to scroll the hd channel guide? ie with least button pushes? Right now I have to go to the guide and scroll all the way down to the hd filter which is alot of clicks. I suppose i have the recent, latest, typical remote, white, etc.

    at-9 and au-9 are very interchangeable at that area. Look http://sadoun.com/Sat/Products/Winegard/DirecTV-KA-Dish.gif http://sadoun.com/Sat/Products/DirecTV/Dish/AU9-Slimline-DirecTV-Dish.jpg I would know if the dish has been changed. If it is the heat issue thing, then it stands to...

    Mine is already a zinwell wideband 6x8. I use 4 outputs and 3 other outputs go into a neighbor's which I don't know how they're being connected in there. If it's a multiswitch problem, shouldn't we see the problem all the time? But did you problem look like this ImageShack - Hosting ...

    You should get up to 4 room/rec free and only pay a monthly $5 for each after the first one. Since you want them now, ie not all 4 the first time, you'd have to pay for shipping. My bro went through all of that.

    SIGHHHH.. the problem is back -- picture comes in and out, broken, and the message "searching for sat signal 771". At this point I think rad is right that this looks very much like a diplexor problem. I'm sharing the dish, switch with a condo neighbor, and the problem as I said only comes on...

    Please HELP with Issues I have

    I see that's what I need to do. My sats' signal strengths on a seemingly perfect weathered morning are following: 101 - 91% 110 - 88 119 - 85 99b - 7% 103a - 0 103b - 60% Guys, does my setup miss any sat, like 99a, or need to have more signal strength on any? (yes i am already aware of...

    Isn't all of this crazy? And all I want is just TV I pay for and move on. shmeff, I'm kinda proud to be the first of something . Now we know that slimline lnb works with at-9, huh? Well, considering that all chans are still ok, the one-long band lnb fits nicely on the dish's arm like...

    Please HELP with Issues I have

    I just went up to the roof and adjusted, but could never get it above 64. There are many factors which bewild me. It's a slightly square dish originally with 3lnb+2 extent. Now the tech gave me the newest one long band of lnb (sorry dunno the terms) which I suspect could only go to 64 because of...

    Hi guys, For weeks I had been getting "frozen", stuttering, pixelated, and no-pictures at various hd channels (food hd, cnnhd,...) around the time I come home, afternoon to evening. So, I called dtv and a tech came this morning. Sadly, all the problems are not seen during daytime (ie morning)...

    International channels ?

    Never heard or read anywhere if D plans to do things like you wish. However, if you don't like the 3' wide int dish, get a samsonic or fortec which are oval/egg shaped. Not sure how wide they are, but they're surely smaller in width than the int dish :)

    I need advices from experienced installers...

    iwc5893, You're wise beyond words can describe :D You're right in my setup, the international dish has only the 95 lnb, the rest is taken care by another triple lnb. But with my luck, there's always complication. I BROKE the bracket that holds the 95 lnb at the place that connects to the arm ...

    I need advices from experienced installers...

    The 18v input is a very good info. Now that I think about it, what other requirements of the meter do I need, like Hz, etc. "It may be easier to connect your meter to the 101 LNB and peak in the dish that way" I do not understand this point. The 101 is currently measured at receivers at 95+...

    I need advices from experienced installers...

    Hi All, I need advices from experienced installers who have used a signal meter to get 95 sat (international chans). My HOA rooftop is hard to get to, so I can't really rely on using a receiver and a TV to align the dish and detect signal. The dish is Samsonic. So I will get a meter. Btw, I...
