    HBO GO now on XBOX Live..DOES work with DirecTV!

    This actually makes me more angry about no Roku support. What possible logic is there to allowing Xbox but not Roku?

    Directv giving distants to some markets temporarily

    What do you have to do to get these? I live in the Clarksburg/Weston, WV market and I currently have a no locals package with waivers granted for PBS, NBC and ABC. When I saw that these were available now I called DirecTV to get them turned on, and the CSR told me I can't get them until October...

    Lost even transponders on 101

    It turned out to be water infiltration on the on-dish OTA antenna I installed. It never really worked anyway, so I took it off and everything was back to normal. Thanks for the help!

    Lost even transponders on 101

    I have a System III dish which is connected to a 4x8 powered multiswitch which is inside. When I get home I'll check for water intrusion.

    Lost even transponders on 101

    Sometime last night, I lost all the even transponders on the 101 satellite. We had some storms come through last night, so I'm wondering if this could be an alignment issue or do I have some bad equipment. What are typically the causes of this kind of outage? Before I wait in the phone queue...

    I left DIRECTV for DISH NETWORK...

    I switched in the other direction about a year and a half ago, and I found the exact opposite to be true. Certain channels on Dish were full of artifacts, but I see none of that on DirecTV. I even have a much bigger TV now, so spotting artifacts would be even easier. Also, my DirecTivo is...

    Directv: How do I get the networks? Good 'remote' address?

    DirecTV won't give you local channels?

    Free DVR

    If I already have a TiVo, I can just replace one of my non-TiVo receivers with this for no extra cost, right?

    Newbie Help with DVR

    Disclaimer: I'm assuming your parents aren't getting DirecTV. Correct me if I'm wrong. Don't get a single tuner PVR. You could use splitters and switches to do that with a single tuner PVR (assuming your parents don't have digital cable), but it would be a hassle and the live-TV PVR...

    Terk TV42 Antenna with a switch

    No, that would be a 5x8 switch. I have a 4x8. Got it hooked up yesterday, and when you combine the new OTA antenna distribution with the existing PVR output distribution, it is quite a mess indeed. I still need to pick up some more diplexers and combiners to finish it all off. Thanks to...

    Terk TV42 Antenna with a switch

    I'm going to assume the word "diplexer" is missing there. :) So, I think you are saying that if the OTA signal was diplexed (is that a word?) into all four lines coming into the switch, then I would just need a diplexer before each receiver to split it out again. The switch wouldn't lose or...

    Terk TV42 Antenna with a switch

    I'm getting DTV installed tomorrow. My set up will be 4 rooms including a dual-tuner Tivo, so they will be installing a 4x8 switch. I also bought a Terk TV42 antenna to use with the new setup. (So I can get Canadian OTA channels.) It just ocurred to me that the switch complicates the...

    Condition of returned lease remotes

    I'm probably going to be quitting Dish soon. Two of the remotes I have (a 522 IR and a 301) have some dog-chewing marks on them. They work perfectly. If I return these to Dish, are they going to charge me for the damage? If so, how much? I want to know if it's worth it to pick up some cheap...

    Considering switching from Dish. Need advice.

    Thanks for all the input, guys! So what is the difference between the R10 and the DVR80? I currently send the output of the 522 to other TVs in the house using diplexers.

    Considering switching from Dish. Need advice.

    I'm ticked about losing OLN on Dish, so I'm considering switching over to DirecTV. Just to level set, here is what I have on Dish (all leased): Dish 500 w/ DishPro quad LNB 1 522 in single mode 2 301s AT180 w/ locals (Upgraded from AT120 last month to get OLN) I want as close to the...

    My 522 Hates Desperate Housewives

    Another victim here, except I'm having the problem with Grey's Anatomy. I'm not keen to recreate all my timers, but if it happens one more week, I'll be giving that a try.

    Dish Network Website Wins Award

    They don't deserve any awards until I can type "dishnetwork.com" (i.e. without the "www) into my browser and get there. Jeez, that's webmaster/DNS 101. :rolleyes:

    A very sad day for me

    You can't give up that easily! Chances are that 90% of the people in your HOA don't care about dishes, and it's just one nazi on the board that put that rule in. Put up your dish, and when the HOA representative complains, show the OTARD information.

    L2.38 Software Update for Model 625

    Wow. Another version. I'm guessing they are fixing bugs introduced the last release. I'm going to make an open suggestion to anyone from E* that might be reading. Establish a set group of beta testers so you can find these bugs before wide release. I'm sure you could get a decent size...

    Just got a 522 some quick questions..

    :confused: Do you mean the buffers before and after the event? Good questions that only Dish can answer.

    522 L2.36 Release Notes

    I actually prefer it that way. When it does the recording with one tuner (such as when the other tuner is tied up on another channel) you end up with the end of one show on next show's recording or vice versa. I don't really care that it recorded 3 minutes of the same thing. It's not that big...

    522 Comprehensive Bug List and Feature Wish List

    This appears to be fixed in L2.36. Edit: Nevermind. I just noticed you never added this to the page. [insert whiny temper-tantrum here] ;)

    522 Comprehensive Bug List and Feature Wish List

    Another bug I've noticed: The Schedule page doesn't show all skipped events. It shows some, but not all. I especially notice this on Wednesday nights. I had both West Wing and Alias recording from 9-10 and Good Eats from 10-10:30. The problem is that Alias usually runs past its scheduled...

    FROM DISH: New 942 Information

    You keep saying that the $250 is a fee for the privilege of renting the 942. DHA is a lease program. You wouldn't be renting at all. You are making a down payment on a lease.
