    DTV Signal Meter

    Hi guys/gals, Been gone a while but good to see most of the gang still helping out. I'm currently looking for a nice yet reasonable signal meter to align my Slimline dish's as needed. I always lugged a small TV, the SWiM, power supply & output splitter up to the roof when I needed some fine...

    No signal on Tuner 2...too many satellites

    I've run an SWM-8 system for the past two years with no problems until today I started losing Tuner 2 on one of the receivers. I have 5 receivers...2 H20's & 3 HR22's for a total of 8 tuners. As soon as I unplug a working twin tuner HR22 the malfunctioning tuner works fine. On one receiver I...

    Missing Guide info since software upgrade

    Hello every1, Recently had my receivers (Hr22-100) upgrade to software version (OX4d1) & for some reason every 48hrs I'm missing the programs that should be populated in the guide window (Some time slots are just blank). It appears to happen to random channels each time; a repeat Satellite...

    Installing a 5-LNB Slimline using sWim first

    In the past I've always been called in to modify an existing 5-LNB Slimline with a multi-switch (that may or may not need some fine tuning) but this time I will be starting the install with all the sWim equipment already setup & ready to go. Is there a different step or any other procedure I...

    SWiM multiswitch with Legacy ports

    I only have one Legacy unit left but was wondering what some you set your receiver Satellite setting to in order to get it to work. It seems to work when set to a single oval model but shouldn't it also work when set to the correct AT-9 SWiM setting. I move this receiver around a lot for the...

    Double Play

    Can someone explain to me the difference between using Double Play instead of opting to record both programs at the same time? :confused:

    Ch2 WBBM Chicago OTA

    Since my pre-amp/amp install all my OTA signals are above 95 except CH2 WBBM which sits at zero. Before I go back into the attic is this channel being broadcast from a different building from a diferent direction that my current setup can't see at all? Seems strange to get 95+ across the...

    Last of my H20-600's are gone

    I thought for sure my-600 had the corrected sticker on the bottom but it was only a refurbished sticker & finally overheated & died a few days ago. I'm also not sure if it matters if the non-dvr's run hotter when being used or are always on like the DVR models but this unit was in the main TV...

    SWM modification

    I shortened the cable runs on my SWM & had a couple of questions. First, on the SWM 8-way splitter what is the second red coax port (says out) right next to the red one that receives the power from the supply? Mine is a SWM-8 so I'm assuming you can use it to feed 8 tuners. Secondly, after...

    Argh, new forced software download @ 11:30am

    Seems like a lot of software releases are coming down during normal viewing hours; (02D7) on a HR21-100, I hope it's clean. :mad:

    To not keep series recording

    How do you remove the series recording after you've already selected to keep the whole series instead of just a few recordings within the series? edit: this is for already saved series.

    New NFL rule with Doubleheader's

    Did anyone notice in their markets that when an early game ended & the affiliate took them to a second early game that hadn't yet finished that they explicitly referenced the new 15-minute rule: Basically stating they could only show 15 minutes of the second game (even if it wasn't finished &...

    This is where NFL SD needs fixing

    Currently, in the Chicago market Fox has switched us to the ending of the TB/KS game which has gone into overtime. As part of the Fox doubleheader, we are supposed to be getting Dallas/Giants via our local affiliate. This game is thus blacked out on ST & will not be made available until I call a...

    VOD users

    I finally added the ethernet connection to my new HR21 & realized it was just as simple as hooking up the cable to my router & clearing DTV for access through my firewall. I wasn't too impressed at the first days selection but was pleasantly surprised at how many of the VOD channels populated...

    Game lounge free preview this weekend

    I didn't see it posted anywhere so figured I would toss out a heads up for the free preview game lounge this weekend. Other than playing a little poker haven't really tried it but figured others might be interested. Search revealed no threads/topics on this so sorry if it was posted...
