I'm sure this is asked all the time, but it's Friday... :) I have a weekend location I sometimes to go which is outside of my home market. Home's in Cincinnati, this is up outside of Akron. I want to add an additional box onto my account at this location. There is an existing dish at this other...

Hi all, In the midst of cleaning out some closets and rooms turned into closets, I've come across my original non-SWM 5-LNB, and pair of B-band converters. I can't think of a reason to keep them around any longer, and some quick checking of eBay looks like theyd be close-to-worthless. Aside...

Hi everyone, I successfully installed an SWM LNB last night. It's so much nicer to only have a single cable run coming through the patio door into the condo, rather than four. And it'll make putting up crown molding over the cable run so much easier. Anyway, I imagine I have to return the old...

Admittedly, I've only been playing with the boxes for a couple hours... In the HR-21, where (is there?) is the ability to set a reminder or an auto-tune on a future event? I only see the options for recording the program. I only have Tuner 1 connected, if that makes a difference. Thanks! --Scott

Just got back into the office here after finishing my conversion from Charlie's Soon-o-Rama to D*. If any of you remember, my first install attempt about a month ago ended because of a probably-clueless installer. This time around was much different. I was scheduled for the 12-4 window for...

Anyone in the Cincinnati area will recognize Mike McConnell for his mid-day talk show. Yesterday, a telemarketer for Dish Networks called up to the (unscreened) direct celebrity hotline, undoubtedly using a random telephone number dialer. Fun ensues...

'evening all. I was reading some other messages here a moment ago, and came across another tidbit that my dingbat installer said was impossible. It *is* possible to run the HD-DVR with only one line, but therefore only one tuner? If so, this is okay for me, as over 3/4 of the DVR'ing I do is...

See http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-forum/130064-d-installer-pulled-fast-one.html for my latest horror story. I don't trust Bluegrass Satellite now. Anyone on here a Cincinnati/Dayton-area independent installer, or know of one, that really knows his stuff? I *really* wanted to help Bob &...

Hi all, Tried to defect from E* to D*. The installer seemed knowledgeable, but ultimately the install failed. When he first arrived, I noted to him that we'd have to fishline a second coax feed through my wall for the HD-DVR. He looked around and said it was impossible, even after I mentioned...

In another thread about switching from E* to D*, I mentioned that my condo walls are a pain to wire, IMO. I was wondering to what lengths an installer will try and fishline additional coax as part of a standard install? In my case, it's only one or two walls to go through, horizontally (the...

Yeah, I know, I have to really calculate this myself. But, compared to the other three major satellites (110/119/129), what's the elevation of 61.5 for the eastern Midwest (e.g. Cincinnati area)? I'm in a bottom-floor condo, and have a bad feeling that 61.5's position is essentially looking...

Hi all, I think I read somewhere that at least one of the new birds that was delayed is going to 129. Anyone happen to know elevation-wise where it'll be? Hopefully it'll be relatively higher in the sky than the current E* 129 West. The current one is behind the tree-tops for me, and...

Hi all, First post here (oh joy, that welcome banner at the top of the site finally goes away. :D). Was wondering if anyone has heard anything on the rumor mill about Cincinnati's locals being picked up in HD any time soon? I was reading elsewhere that we were supposed to be one of the markets...
