    Reception problems helped by reebot

    Frequent reboot of R10

    After 1.5yrs of flawless service, my R10 has reebooted itself at least 4 times in the past 2 days (and that's just the ones I notice...). Also, I'm experiencing picture problems mostly on the 500 channles just as if there was rain or clowds, but the sun is shinning... this is only sometimes but...

    Conflicting TiVo information

    I'm not sure what type of antenna(s) will I need for DTV if I want to recieve the total choice package + locals.. all in standard definition. For this package, will a standard 18" dish be enough, or will I need the 18x24" aimed at the 101, 110 and 119? what about the 72.5" ? The dish will...

    Multiswitch question

    I have a DirecTV system with Tivo. I have one antenna with dual LNBs, but only one cable runs from one LNB to the room where the DTV system with Tivo is. The other LNB supplies another system in another room. I wish to be able to see one channel while recording another, which means supplying two...
