    Which Satellite is BTN/BTN Alternates?

    I have an old single LNB (18-inch round) dish and will be in a place without internet or cell coverage this weekend and I need BTN (CH 610) and possibly the alternates. Does anyone know which satellite I should point it at? If I can only get an SD signal, it's ok, I'll live. I will have an HD...

    Cancelled Sunday ticket...and they let me!

    So I saw my Sunday Ticket renewed with my last bill, and decided it was time to make my annual call to "Cancel." Usually this results in a reduced price offer and I end up keeping it...not this time! They didn't even ask why I wanted to get rid of it, and made zero effort to keep me. They...

    searching satellite In 2 (771) error/45 seconds then tunes in???

    The technician swapped out the BBC's and installed a new switch, but swapped back to my old switch when it did not help (SAM 6802 6x8 Multiswitch), we did not, however, change which box was hooked up where to see if the problem would follow. However, the problem is the same on all 3 boxes, just...

    searching satellite In 2 (771) error/45 seconds then tunes in???

    I've had a technician look at this for several hours and the hypothesis is that this is a software issue, but here's what it's doing. I have a slimline dish and 3 receivers (2 DVR's and an HD Receiver). Receivers: HR24-200 HR20-700 H20 The issue is this: the HD signals for many channels...

    moving files to new DVR - strange answer from tech support

    Thank you Chuck W, did you physically take the hard drive out of the HR20 and put it into the HR24? And would it play the programming? or would it simply give the error message and not play the programs at all? Thanks!

    moving files to new DVR - strange answer from tech support

    So I am deactivating my HR20-100 in favor of the new 3d capable dvr, and I decided to call tech support to see if there was a way to transfer my recordings from the HR20-100 to the new receiver. The answer I received was peculiar. It started with "unfortunately.....", which is what I expected...

    H20 in front of Multiswitch?

    Thanks for the suggestion Bob, I'll check that out. You're correct, I definitely want to use an H20 to feed multiple televisions, not multiple receivers. Thanks

    H20 in front of Multiswitch?

    Thanks Harsh, that's pretty clear cut. Is there a way to put a split the signal after the multiswitch? Or is there no possible way to feed 2 jacks with the same receiver? Thanks in advance.

    HR 20-100 FFwd Correction

    I just installed the HR20-100 and miss the feature of the tivo unit that jumps back a few seconds when you press play after fast forwarding. I tried the code IAMANEDGECUTTER in the keyword search and then pressed Menu and Info at the same time at the front of the box, but it didn't bring up...

    My DMA finally got locals...well..sort of

    The local cable company uses CBS out of Washington DC, and NBC from Charlottesville, VA (nbc 29). I only found out because I clicked on the "Directv News Link" at the top of this forum, and it had a list of upcoming local market releases. Then the day they were supposed to come on when I...

    My DMA finally got locals...well..sort of

    actually, none of them are HD, we didn't have any locals at all before now. I just hope they get Fox and NBC soon, even if it's not HD.

    My DMA finally got locals...well..sort of

    So this week my DMA finally got local channels, only no cbs or nbc... Is this common? Are new local markets typically without the big four for long? Is there a way to figure out if/when they plan to add the rest? Any experience you could share is appreciated. I'm in Harrisonburg, VA (22802)

    Need install moved up

    70% of the earth is covered by Water, the other 30% is covered by Bob Sanders. Bob Sanders did my dish install, he just looked at it and the dish was scared and installed itself.

    I'm Moving - Help - Distant feeds

    I'm moving within the same DBA next month, I have the ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX distant feeds, but directv says they have to resubmit waivers regardless of how small the move is. It will be a nightmare trying to get the big 4 again if they do this. I'm only moving 10 miles. Local channels aren't...
