well, I was swapping things around, and suddenly all my HD channels started coming in. I first swapped the inputs, BBCs and all, with no luck. However, I returned them to the original state, then swapped the cables going into the BBCs. That seemed to do the trick. Makes little sense to me as...

ah. gotcha. Yes, when I swap, the number changes. It originally shows Input 2, which is the longer cable run, as the input which the satellite is searching on. When I swap cables, the problem channels are the other 1/2 of my HD channels, but shows input 1 as the problem input (still the...

i don't believe I have the slimline. That's the new style dish, correct? Still, I'll give it a shot tonight.

it's entirely dependent upon which cable is connected to which input. In other words, if I originally get a searching message with coax 1 going into sat input 1 and coax 2 going into sat input 2, then swap the coax so that coax1 is going into sat input 2 and coax2 is going into sat input 1...

It has the BBC's and there are no diplexers. I'll try swapping the BBCs too. I'm thinking it's either the wire/connector itself OR the LNB that it's connected to is going bad/not switching properly. I just wanted to try and be sure before I climb up to the roof where the dish is mounted.

no, I don't think it's quite that long. Maybe... 80-100 ft. The other cable is likely 40-50 ft. (those are just really rough guesses though.

I have the 700 DVR. Have had it prior to when the HD satellite went up, so I couldn't verify that I was getting everything I should get. Well, I can't see 1/2 of the HD channels. I get the searching for satellite message when I switch to them. (I hadn't been able to deal with this much over...

wtf! Why are they still in "talks" with NBC abd CBS? that's stupid. Is there any chance of UPS/WB being broadcast in HD?

I haven't been visiting the site for awhile, so I'm not too clear on everything that's been going on with the lease stuff or current offers and whatnot, but.... I want a DVR. I'd prefer it to be HD, but i'm not that picky really. I currently have a 4 room system. I just want one DVR. I...

I just called a CSR. I can get 2 of the 4 distants. The other two have a grade B signal and will have to have a waiver for those Distant HD feeds. So I have to wait a few days :( edit: I'm in bloomington, IN, btw.

I agree with the bad grounding. Could be a possible bad ground or another device creating a feedback loop, etc... that's plugged into the same circuit. Move the receiver onto another circuit and see what happens.

wait, so what do I need to do to get this through star choice? I need the equipment, the dish installed, etc... Can I just call them up and order service? Or do I have to actually live in Canada to do this? Do I need a reqular servicae package commitment to get the ST through star choice or...

it's not that simple. I ONLY want the HD games and not the other superfan crap. Also, I got it for FREE last season. I'm already paying for an HD package AND the ST package. It is BS for them to suddenly charge for the HD games. The games should be a part of the ST package, not a...

never had a problem w/ the DTC100 except on HD feeds, the audio will occasionally repeat itself for a few milliseconds. This is, of course, with the optical output. I've never used the analog.

I live in an area where I can't use an antenna. I can't get it up high enough AND i'm on the very fringes of the broadcast area yet still fall inside the Indianapolis market. so it's satellite, cable, or nothing.

Hmm. That kinda puts you in a bind as you have to have the ST cancelled prior to August 1st right? IF you don't, then you have to pay $99.

I'll see what happens when I talk to them this week. I'm definitely not paying for this if that's the case. screwem. let's just agree to stalk each other /that was kinda fruity eh?/

I'm still crackin up here. or should I be scared?! stalker? heh. ok ok. back On Topic. so basically, I'm screwed on HD football game using ST unless I call and complain and demand them for free?

AHAHAHAH! hilarious! Don't associate me with RATS though. I prefer coltshistory :p

info? well, the real problem is, ST isn't all that great of a deal for me anyway. I have season tix to the Colts games :) So I'm gone 1/2 the sundays ANYWAY. I live 1hr away from the stadium and go tailgating. So I MIGHT catch another game at home, but usually not.

wow. I'm sure this has been yelled out MANY times, but that's FREAKIN STUPID!!@@!R#$)^&@#$^#$(*&^@#$ Good thing I "moved" to get the network HD feeds... I'm still going to call and tell them I'm not going to renew unless I get the HD games for free.

Ok, so I haven't been around awhile and I don't really have the time to read through the last 4 pages of stuff. If I order NFL ST, does that include any games in HD? Or do I have to get this gay superfan crap to get it? If I do, there's not point in me renewing NFL ST.

heh. ummmm. uh, moved. yeah. :smug meh. I HAVE an HDTV, though, and that's all i really care about :) :)

oh... you think you're farther? Hmmmm... I'm actually 230 MI away. you're about 198 MI. I WIN! haha. I just figure, it's easier to say "i've moved. here's my new addy." Then go change the billing online than to have to sit there and tell them I don't want my billing to be the same...

well that will suck. I'm on the fringe of the spot beam. Snow, rain, etc... all cause me a bit of trouble at times on the chicago locals... :( less suspicious! :) :cool:
