    DIRECTV Satellite is not currently available for new customers in your area

    I used your link (didn't use a private window) & yes, I got the NA message on both of those same zips. However, when I put in my zip 62702, it DID go thru...BUT, the locals channels section was then from Chicago 60601, as b4pjoe mentioned above. Another DTV cluster-f#$k o_O

    DIRECTV Satellite is not currently available for new customers in your area

    Well I don't know what's going on, but I just tried a zip in downtown Chicago 60601 & it shows new service being available. Same thing when I did Belleville, IL (St Louis DMA) zip 62222. FWIW, couple dealers on the dealer board thought these restrictions might be for "high risk" areas - ie...

    HR20 recievers

    I have (2) HR20's & before I removed them from my account, I disco'd them from the dish. After awhile & even now, while I could still watch DVR'd shows that had been recorded from satellite, none of my OTA recordings would play.

    Power inserter question

    The power inserter you're attempting to use does not pass 22khz, because it's intended use is ONLY for SWM LNB's/switches, that do NOT even use switching tones, as it is not needed for SWM (stacked) systems. There's other DTV (SWM) power inserter models made with different voltage outputs &...

    DirecTV allows subs to drop locals

    I can - I had a couple of HR20's (with built-in OTA tuner that works just like an AM21) & recorded several OTA shows on locals that DirecTV did not offer, via the DirecTV provided EPG data.

    D11 outage 2/27/2024 (Resolved on 2/28)

    So related to this topic...I'm confused about how the sat signal meters work on a DirecTV receiver. When D11 died, I could obviously see that all the x-ponders on 99cb were 0's...but since D11 also has spot beams, where are those signals shown? Are those then shown on the 99s meter selection...

    D11 outage 2/27/2024 (Resolved on 2/28)

    The problem is, with that long list of local markets that are affected by this spot-beam sat issue, phasing out SD dupes likely still isn't going to help finding enough bandwidth for all those local markets, since the vast majority are already ONLY in HD, AND there is no other "spot beam"...

    Can't find remote code for my TV

    I think you're SOL with those old D* white remotes; the last one they made was at least a couple years before any of the Roku TV OS appeared on any brands of TV's - after which they started making those RC7x "Genie" remotes for all installs/receivers. I understand that all Roku OS TV's -...

    DirecTV Latin America forced to walk away from its Venezuela uplink facility

    But they do at least list channels/#'s on other D* satellites (but I don't think they've been updated in quite awhile)...they're now showing these 2 satellites completely empty, with NO working services ;)

    HS 17

    ...the OP might have an extra receiver that they take camping, tailgating, etc...again, they will NOT be able to do that, either, if they go to an HS17. (at least w/out having to open up a separate D* account) Hopefully the OP takes note of mdram's completely sensible point, if it applies to...

    New install HR44

    Well I can't really speak to either one, since the 4 Tivo's I currently have, are all Roamio models. But since I'm still on TE3, they ALL run beautifully & quickly, & do their DVR functions as they are supposed to...which IS what their primary functions is/was supposed to be. (except for the...

    Does HR24-500-R require a DACA??

    NOT without a Cinema Connection kit; the ONLY receivers that have built-in Wi-Fi support, are the HR44, HR54 & HS17 Genies https://forums.att.com/conversations/directv-dvr-receivers/does-the-hddvr-receiver-have-wifi-capability/5df00f71bad5f2f60627470a

    Yes, just take the other remote & go thru the TV programming setup on the receiver...the other remote will remain as-is.

    DirecTV Intro price rockets up $25, or 71%

    I totally agree...this week I've gone out with 2 clients to the local Comcast store, to help them switch over from AT&T (internet/phone)/DirecTV bundles. The tip of the iceberg in both cases, was the fact we STILL have 4 locals off the service. The 2nd reason is they want higher speeds than...

    Native Mode

    I just checked my HR24, & while it DID get an update last night, I STILL have native mode - & yes, it DOES still work as before. (Whew!!!) So maybe this is ONLY for Genie's, perhaps? Yet another reason to stick with the older stuff... ;)

    RC73 (two of them) failing on HR44 after one worked before

    If you mess it up, it's actually NOT a big deal to just reprog it again from scratch. Did you even read the link I attached from the "other" sat board, on prog 2 remotes yet???
