I noticed a shock on my last month's huge phone bill. I have a metered VOIP phone service (V**age) connected to the DVR. All has been good for the last 1.5 years. It was calling in 1-2x/week and for PPV. After the last software upgrade on my R15-300 DVR to version 0x123E it started calling...

Are there any channels on Directv where the SMPTE "color bars" test screen (standard definition) is consistently available on Directv (or I can DVR it)? I have the proper blue filter, but can't find my test DVD. Also, I think it is best to set the color from the actual source you want to...

I have a D*tv remote (RC64) with my system. I picked up an OTA adapter (Digital Stream DTX9900) with my government coupon, because I can't get my locals (very low angle to satellite with LOS issues -- trees) from D*tv. Has anybody got one of these boxes to programmed on the AV1/AV2 function on...

I have a R15-100 DVR, everything worked well on the unit for about 6 monthes until I got "upgraded" to software version 0x1194 on 4/2. Now the unit starting rebooting while watching (not quite at random usually between 7-10 am and 9-10 pm) gets to bar graph says "getting satellite information"...

I just installed a new 80 cm dish and new universal LNB setup with a Coolsat 6000. I am having a weird problem with AMC 3. When I do both blind scans and manual scans using information "The List" I only get 11.724 H at 3676 symbol rate (the Bloomberg Info card) and no other channels. I used...

If I move my Ku dish with universal LNB to the side of my house, I should have a nice view of satellites in the Atlantic region (22 deg. West to about 70 deg. BTW, I cover the N. America birds from my back yard). I have looked at the Lyngsat charts, but most of the feeds are for Europe, Africa...

My old RCA receiver (DRD420RE) had a nice feature called "Fetch" where you could enter in many "background" searchs and be alerted by a little flags in the guide next to matching searches if/when matching programs became available. This was helpful to find obscure actors, directors, or single...

Is there a place I can look up the specifications for the different D* dishes - single 18", 3 LNB, and 5 LNB slimline??? Mainly I am interested in the gain specification of each one. I am trying to get the most signal, to prevent rain/snow fade. Two big questions I have are: Do all 3 (or 5...

Since I have trouble receiving my satellite local spot feeds (tree in the way), I have to pick up my local channels via an OTA antenna, luckily my signal strength is OK. My satellite DVR doesn't have a digital OTA tuner built-in so I am shopping for an OTA DVR that doesn't require a...

I recently re-subscribed after a couple year hiatus using cable. One of the big selling points was that local channels for my area were now available via spot beams. Well, the installer put a new 3 lnb dish up at the peak of house's roof and announced that, due to some trees (a few houses...

I tried to add a new SG 2100 motorized mount to my Coolsat 6000 receiver in a homebrewed FTA system. With the motor mounted, but no dish attached, I powered up the setup, but the 6000 seems to keep protecting itself and rebooting. I thought there was a short in the new motor, so I got out an...

I have a CoolSat 6000 receiver and wanted to know about the OCS LNB settings. Should I be using this for DishPro equipment? The manual doesn't say anything about OCS LNB settings. It asks for 2 frequency values. I see a lot of posts about OCS-DP, but this doesn't have any other settings...

I picked up a surplus SuperDish and wanted to use it for FTA. I noticed the linear FSS LNB has a separate, VERY "oval" feedhorn attached via a flange to the LNB. Due to the LNB being stacked, poor noise figure, and not handled great by my receiver software, I wanted to swap it with a standard...
