Is there a way for a layperson to try to dial in a better signal on 99(s) for a given transponder without messing with any other sats? Can the LNB itself be adjusted? How? Currently it gets mid 70's to low 80's depending on weather. Thanks

After a new install can one call up and switch from the 1 Year free showtime to 1 year of free sports pack? Thanks,

My friend misses the Portugese channel RTPI. Can someone please point me in the right direction of getting the cheapest FTA setup that would get this channel? Thanks in advance

I just checked the picture of the remote and it has an off button. So I should be able to learn that button no problem. Thanks for the help. I still am curious about the optical switching!

Does the HR20 have an off-only signal you can send from the remote or a universal remote so you can make a macro to turn everything off? If not, has anyone made a good macro that will only turn the unit off? (I know some electronics have a debug mode that, if the system is off, it...

Does anyone know if the optical digital can be split using an optical splitter? My xbox and dvd player, can, for instance, both use the splitter, but my comcast box can not be split! So I have to use its' coax audio. If the HR20 doesn't have coax out I'm not sure how I'll split it.

For the HDDVR 2 weeks? 3 weeks?

Are there any stores that have a demo of the hddvr to test out? Thanks

Comcast has dedicated keys too, but also lets you use the arrows so that you don't have to shift your hand to get at all the main features. Plus the universal remote that I have doesn't have that many keys so I can use the dedicated FF/RW buttons to learn other seldom-used commands. Everyone...

I mean, with any directv remote, do the arrow keys double as the FF,RW,Pause, Stop buttons and the OK=play?? I'm accustomed to that from comcast.

Can you at least use the left, right, up, down arrows to fast forward, rewind, pause, and stop like with comcast dvr?

well that's just silly. So if I want to use the RF function in two rooms I have to buy a completely new universal RF remote.

Thinking of switching to DirecTV. If I turn on the regular remote's RF function, can I still use my Sony universal IR remote to control the hr20/21 as well? Thanks

gpg. Okay. The previous poster made it seem that if you got the sports pack with EI you didn't need to get superfan since you already had YESHD games.

gpg. Jeez. So you are saying that in order to watch hd games for my favorite team out of market I need to spend over $300 a season? (including MLB: EI, Superfan, & Sports pack for 6 mo.) And this is on top of the $10 a month HD access?

Thanks for your responses Jpn: So just to make sure I'm getting it right (because this is the deciding factor for me to switch from cable), as long as it stays the same as last year, if I have the sports pack and mlb EI I will get every Yankee home game and many away games in HD without...

Oh, sorry. I didn't realize that YESHD just came out on DirecTV

I just mean if the games are broadcast on YESHD and you have MLB EI plus the sports pack, if you can watch the games in HD on YESHD I was hoping there was someone out of market who would have the definitive answer to this question.

Quick Question. Thinking of switching to satellite. I Live far away from NY. If I purchase the sports pack, AND I purchase MLB:EI, will I then be able to watch Yankees games on YESHD in HD? Thank you,

Hi, I currently have Comcast in the greater Pittsburgh area and am thinking about switching. I did some searching but a lot of the answers were old (and maybe outdated), so I figured I'd post my questions here. Any help would be appreciated. I'm leaning towards Dish so I posted...
