I'll be checking the cable and connections tomorrow. Don't know how to check the LNB. It's a Genie DVR (HR44) and a Genie Mini. I'll check the other tuners. Thanks.

I'm trying to figure out why I'm suddenly getting random 771 errors on some channels. It's not consistent. There are no trees blocking the dish. I'll be checking all the cable connections next. To make sure it's not an alignment issue, can someone check these signal strengths and confirm that...

I also have an HR44 and it varies on mine as well. Very annoying. I have just updated from an HR24 and this is one of the few things that bug me.

I have the same problem. let me know if you figure anything out.

Thank you for your suggestions. I'll give them a try tonight and let you know what happens.

Yes I do.

I've rebooted them using the menu option but not by unplugging. I'll try that tonight.

Hi everyone, I have had 2 HR24's for almost two years now. They have worked great until now. In the last few months, I have been seeing this error more and more as we try to watch a show recorded on the other DVR: [Receiver Name] has been disconnected from your home network. Nothing has changed...

Finding Free On Demand Movies through website... need help I've been having trouble browsing the free on demand movies through the website since they've redesigned the on demand/cinema website. Can someone help me find a way to browse the free movies? Thanks!

Definitely try a local installer. I had trouble with the directv installer so I switched to a local installer. I got the same deal and had the install done 4 days later.

Just switched to D* last week and got 2 HR-24's. Is it possible to have the 2 dvr's share their record list? I'd love to just put in what I want to record and have them figure out which dvr to record it. Is this possible or does anyone know if this is a planned feature for the future? Thanks!

Thanks bbixler. I'll give After Hours Satellite a call tomorrow.

Can anyone point me to an independent installer for the Lock Haven/Williamsport PA area? Twice now, the installer company that Directv uses for my area has canceled or refused to do the install. I'm about to give up but was told I could try an independent installer if I could find one. Please...

Any idea when will these links be turned on?

I'm down in a small valley, so it'll be tough. But maybe I'll check Radio Shack's return policy and give it a try. I never did before because I figured I'd be wasting my time and money.

Interesting. He said that for my area, directv requires a 5 LNB or the receiver won't activate. He mentioned that if I lived in an area nearby, they only require 3 LNB for that area. He kept saying the receiver won't activate. A supervisor is supposed to come out and double-check. Hopefully...

charper1, thanks for the idea. Here's how tvfool shows for my exact address. So if I'm reading it right, it will be tough to get anything.

Iceberg, thanks for the explanations. Right now, the E* dish is barely clearing the trees for 110, 119. In a few years, I might have problems. The E* installer had to do a tri-pod pole mount on top of my roof. The dish is about 4' above my roof. The D* installer said he didn't want to do that...

Thanks for all the comments... here's more information. I cannot receive OTA because none of them reach me. I currently have dish network which is on 110 and 119. I'm not sure which satelites he couldn't get.

Trees are in the way, but they are not on my property. He looked for pole mounting options as well and couldn't find anything.

The installer came today and could not find a line of sight to all 5 satelites. My zip is 17745 and I'm getting HD. He said that Directv requires I get a 5 LNB/Swm setup even though I don't need all of them after the receivers are activated. He was able to get a line of sight for the 3 satelites...

Hey everyone, I'm considering switching to D* from E* because of local HD issues... Does anyone know of any pitfalls with bundling directv with verizon in one of their double/triple play packages? Also, will I be able to get the refer a friend discount if I do it through verizon? Thanks!

Oh, I completely agree with you. I've been waiting since that long as well and have been fooled on the one, two month, soon, etc. stories as well. So I'm hopeful but doubtful anything will be different 2 months from now. Like you said, just wanted to pass on what technicians were telling people...

A friend just moved to a new house and get the HD package from dish. The person who did the install said we should have HD locals in 1 to 2 months... hopefully he is right.

Well... thanks for trying. Did you mention that Directv doesn't have a problem? Maybe someday they'll actually admit the problem. I'm currently still holding out hope that the new satelite will carry it like a previous poster said.
