    Purpose of the Multi splitter?

    Yep, we did the autoconvergence on the RCA as well, although I think we did while it was hooked up through the "component" hookup. I'll have him do another one since we have connected the DVI cable.........., thanks:up

    Purpose of the Multi splitter?

    That's what I thought as well. Another problem I tried to tell him about was he switched from Comcast to D* and I believe he said the installer used the existing Comcast cable that was there and re-routed those cables to the Slimline and then to the sat boxes........, I thought this could be an...

    Purpose of the Multi splitter?

    Interesting topic. My neighbor just upgraded to HD from D*, and I noticed that after the tech's left they did not install a multiswith for his "Slimline Dish". When I had mine installed a year ago, the multiswitch was included. My neighbor noticed that the "Slimline" had a 'built-in...

    D* Retention - valid phone number?!?

    I've tried that number recently and it does not work in my area (Phila, Pa). I've been using this number 888-355-7530 (C.I.S. = Customer Installation Service). It takes me right to the people that handles upgrades/installation and dates:up :up

    Philly DMA and H20

    I'm also in the Philly area and noticed this same problem again this morning. I usually don't watch the local "HD" channels unless it's a network program in full HD, but I have noticed with the local channels the audio is off just enough to notice and make it annoying.:confused: :confused:

    Ctec 2006

    Unfortunately, I had to leave 30 minutes into the hour long presentation. I was disappointed in the fact that it was a PowerPoint presentation, I was expecting a true demonstration of the actual players side by side. The presetation was pretty standard (what I saw of it) on the specifications...

    NFL Network HD

    ...with NFL Network set to air games starting on Thankgiving Day/Night, they were touting how if the original game was shown in HD, the replay (tuesday or wednesday) also would be shown in HD. Here's hoping they (D*) will offer this as another HD option. :yikes :yikes , what am I thinking!!!

    NFL Network HD

    Does D* carry NFL Network HD? I always see the logo "available in HD, contact your service provider", but I never see it listed anywhere. Is this only with the NFL Sunday Ticket??:confused: :confused: Thanks

    D* Best Customer offer??

    I just received an e-mail from D* offering me a "free" DVR for being a loyal/best customer. Sound great??? Well, it's for a "reconditioned 40G Directv DVR w/Tivo capabilites" from last years stock. I'm now sure "someone up there loves me" with this offer. But I wonder, if they take a look at...

    RCA remote and RCA TV

    Hook up a coaxial cable from the back of the satellite box to the back of the tv. Run the "searching for channels option" on the tv menu. The TV will find channel 3 during the search. You can keep the coaxial hooked up or remove it. Once the channel is found it shouldn't go away (unless you...

    Pixelation - MPEG-4 (Philadelphia Locals)

    I've noticed this also, especially when Fox29 is showing NFL/HD games. It's almost unwatchable. Luckily for now I still have the Network feed and can watch the games there. I'm curious as to whom to contact as well:confused: :confused:

    5 LNB Dish - DC area

    ...101/110/119......., 103 is a noshow. When I go to detect the signal for 103 it states: 0 at 103 sat........ Also, and this doesn't suprise me, the folks (techs) at D* keep insisting that 99 and 103 are where the local HD channels reside!!!:p :p What a joke this outfit is turning out to be.

    5 LNB Dish - DC area

    ...103 is not even listed????? So I ask the installer about this "failed" satellite and his answer was: "Oh, that's for future use from D*, they haven't even activated that source". I did make sure that the 5LNB Dish was selected: I made sure that the 6x8 multi-switch was selected...
