I have The Directv Select Package with a H25/100 receiver. My bill runs around $57 with tax & fees that I got from the loyalty department back in February of 2020. Is this about the best deal that I can expect in today's environment? Has anyone renewed with the loyalty department lately and...

I have been trying to get my agreed upon discounts in my Directv bill for the last 8 months or so. I also can't get the Showtime charge removed even though the service was turned off before the free promo expired. Every month I call the loyalty department and they say they have no control over...

I have Directv; the most basic H25 receiver and a HDMI splitter (1 in 8 out). I want to configure a simple DVR setup where I can record what channel the H25 is playing at a certain future period of time. I live alone and have UHF remotes throughout the house with HDMI cables going to various...

My Directv account discount expires on March 31, 2019. I called the Loyalty Department today (3/26) to inquire about another discount for 12 months. I am currently getting $35 off on a select package. The CSR said she only had a $20 discount available to me at this time. I asked her if other...

I will probably be leaving Direct TV in a couple of months as my current contract will be up and I doubt they will come close to matching Dish Network's $39.99 flex package. What receiver will they give me if I sign up for a Non DVR 1 TV setup? What Satellite Dish/LNB (Model #) would they use...

I recently subscribed to Direct TV(cheapest Select package) and of course have experienced some rain fade. I am contemplating running a second RG6 coax with a manual high frequency voltage passing switch to a 1.2M Primestar Dish. I have a KU circular LNBF with only 13/18 volt switching...

The Directv H25 receiver has a plug to connect a dongle for a RF remote. The best price for these seems to on ebay. I want a RF remote to use on TV's in other rooms that are going to be connected to the main receiver thru RG6 coax. The H25 came with just an IR remote which is sufficient for...

I just had Directv installed and have the H25 receiver in my living room. The primary TV is hooked up through the HDMI cable. I live alone so I don't need the ability to watch different channels at the same time. I hooked up a modulator through the RCA plugs(red, white & yellow) and have RG6...

I am having an installer come to mount a Direct TV Ka/Ku Dish. I don't want him to mount it on my house roof (because it is shed style) and therefore am wanting to build a bracket that would substitute for a fascia board. I am looking for a PDF of the Direct TV satellite dish installer's...

I am considering Direct TV and want the most simple(cheapest) setup. It looks as though they want $6.50 per month for a TV Fee. Does this get me a HD receiver and if so what model is it? I live alone and have 2 TV's which are hooked together and so I am wondering if their remotes are UHF so I...

I am considering Direct TV and want to know which Dish/LNB would be used for the Select 125 channel package in Central Texas. I have several Primestar Dishes and want to use one of these mounts for a Direct TV dish. Specifically what dish would they use and what would be the OD of the mast for...

I bought a DirectTV HDDVR Model HR20 700 at a garage sale for $5. I figured the SATA hard drive inside it would be worth at least that much. Can this be used as a stand alone HD TV tuner and/or DVR without activating it with Direct TV? Is this model considered good enough to be current...

I have a friend whose son owns a roofing company in Texas. He is having trouble getting a Dish/Direct TV installer to come out on the side and refasten DBS dishes after they replace a roof. He wants to get a meter himself that would allow his guys to quickly reaim a dish without going into the...

I got a Dish Network Model DPP44 Power Inserter at a garage sale the other day for $.50. The power brick attached to it shows an output of 28.0V or 20.5V at 1.65A. I put a meter on it on the leg "To Switch" and it shows about 21.0V no load and 20.5V with a LNB loaded to it. It shows zero V on...

I noticed some DVB-S cards on ebay recently that can be bought for $20 to $35 shipped. Some to bring attention to are as follows: DVB-S Satellite TV Tuner Video Capture PCI Card+ Remote - eBay (item 260608957838 end time Aug-23-10 01:27:28 PDT) This one appears to be about the lowest in...

I purchased a Hughes Satellite Internet Dish without the LNB arm at a garage sale for $10. It is a .74M dish measuring about 34" by 28" with a 2 3/8" skewable mount. I am planning to "southern engineer" a LNB arm. Does anyone have one of these; any ideas as to where I can get a PDF manual for...

I acquired a WS Net Dual Feed dish on ebay some time ago. I wanted to post the particulars as to how it is designed for those who like to experiment with multiple feeds on one dish. It is a Channel Master 84E elliptical dish with two 75E feedhorns using NJR 2119F LNB's(two F connectors...one...

I just got this up and running today...mounted a C Band LNBF without the scalar on a 1.2M Channel Master Dish. Got it pointed on G16 at 99 degrees and receiving World Harvest, networks and a few others in Central Texas. I'm sorry this should be in the F T A Discussion...

Here are some pics of a 1.2M Primestar dish on a polar mount. I spent countless hours trying to get it to track the arc and was unable to do so. I then added a second actuator which only has to move 1-2 inches to overcome the tracking error. I used 1/1/2" by 1/4" steel bars spaced 7" apart and...

I am a Primestar Dish junkie. I have multiple 75e's, 84e's, 1M's and 1.2M's models. I have done some "southern engineering" and wanted to post pictures if anyone is interested. Pictures would be of: 1. 1.2M mounted on a polar mount with two actuators 2. Use of pipe fittings to use a 2 3/8"...

I wanted to post some pictures of two feedhorns that I am presently using on a 10' dish. I used a muffler clamp and thats why its showing signs of rust. The primary feedhorn is on G3C at 95 and the secondary feedhorn is on G17 at 91. The 4 degree spacing is "almost" perfect with this...

I was able to retrieve a DirectTV HD Dish before the trashman got it. It is an older model than the current slimline model. The LNB's are WNC model FW9 & model FW2 also referred to as a "sidecar" LNB. This dish is used for both the KA and KU bands. This may be just a doorstop but I want to fool...
