    5x8 Multi-Switch 47691-5MS

    It's not going to work, Ed. First, a multiswitch is not a splitter. Second, a non-SWM DirecTV system cannot have the satellite signal split.

    Why no Canadian channels?

    <SARCASM>Well, maybe if there's a substantial Canadian population in the US that wants to watch programming in their native language perhaps DirecTV will provide it to them...</SARCASM>

    HR-23 DVR Questions

    HR-23 DVR Questions

    You didn't purchase a receiver from e-Bay, you purchased it from (hopefully) a DirecTV authorized dealer who posted it on e-Bay. You didn't purchase it, you initiated a lease. Yes. It is DirecTV's property.

    The only sports league that restricts access to their 24/7 channel that I'm aware of is the NBA. You either have to have the NBA League Pass, Sports Pack or Premier. The NFL Channel is available to anyone with Choice or above and the NHL channel is available to Choice Xtra/Plus DVR/Plus HD DVR...

    HR21- Can it output SD and HD simultaneously?

    Smaye, the HR 10 was known for having an underpowered output section that could handle SD or HD but not both at the same time. It also could only output HDMI or component, but not both. The HR2X series all have a more "robust" output section that can output on all connectors at the same time.

    Poltergeist Commercial for DirecTV

    But one has to wonder... DirecTV starts airing the Poltergeist commercial and suddenly, all their HD DVRs are acting as if they are... Possessed! Coincidence? I leave it up to you...

    Upcoming DirecTV Local HD Markets (October)

    Has anyone heard from vurbano? I'm a bit worried about him. The last post from him said he couldn't wait to get home. I hope he didn't have a heart attack from seeing his locals in HD.

    DirecTV has 150 SD LiLs ans (as of today) 92 HD LiLs, so there's about 60 to go for all DirecTV LiL to be available in HD... and they have the satellite capacity to do it!

    Directv Broadcasting WDSU NBC 6 on channel 361

    Dish was going to put up a channel, but negotiations with FEMA and NOAA fell through at the last minute. Charlie Ergen was quoted as saying, "To protect customers from unreasonable rate increases and to ensure they pay only a fair amount every month, DISH Network draws the line at such excess...

    Question about removing Sat. Dish

    When I chose my present house, one of the selling features was that it already had an Oval 3LNB dish on it! Don't be afraid of the dish... for every person out there who thinks it's ugly there'll be one who will be happy to see it already there.

    12v DTV box

    I just discovered another DirecTV receiver that runs on 12VDC input. The Samsung SL10D10, which is a D10-200 receiver combined with a 10" LCD TV. It does have A/V outputs, so it could feed another TV bit I'd imagine the 10" screen might be good for a truck. It's not in production any more but...

    12v DTV box

    You could look into DirecTV Mobile with the KVH A7. It comes with a phased array low profile dish and a receiver that runs on 12 VDC. However, it is pricey. You can read about it here: TV In Your Car, Satellite TV In Your Car

    Minus 2 LNB's

    Just because the dish has five LNBs does not mean it has five feedhorns. The large one closest to the middle looks at the 99, 101 and 103 satellites at the same time. The bar is extended on the other side for aesthetic purposes.
