    NBC Sports in the Sports Pak?

    I'm a little frustrated right now, so I wanted to check in with people in the know to make sure my reading of the D website is correct. I live in zip code 52405, which means I need to have the Sports Pak to have FS-MW. This is the only channel I want out of the Sports Pak. I currently have...

    DVRs that Work With Unsupported MRV

    Hello, I've been doing the MRV thing for quite a while on my wired Ethernet network with no DECA. Sadly, my HR21 seems to have bit the dust and will no longer receive a signal from my SWM. I've verified that the problem is isolated to the receiver. I plan on calling DirecTV to get them...

    Slimline 5LNB Low 119 Signal

    Hello, I recently bought a house, and moved the DirecTV setup I had along and did a self-install as to not extend my contract. The setup is a 5LNB Slimline with a wing dish for 72.5, connected to a SWM-8 and run into the house. Signals on all satellites except for 119 are in the mid to high...

    Note from DirecTV to Customers Regarding Versus

    To be frank, I'm being stubborn and shouldn't have to shell out extra for two services. The whole point I signed with DirecTV is so I could get FS-MW, ESPN, and VS all in one place for the Blues games. Now VS is gone. If I do any switching at all, it would be from DirecTV to Dish to once...

    Note from DirecTV to Customers Regarding Versus

    I wonder if they'd let me install a Slingbox temporarily? :D This is incredibly frustrating, though. I switched from the local cable provider to DirecTV mainly because the cable co didn't carry FS-MW, and now DirecTV has no VS. I can't win. heh That's a fantastic thought that hadn't...

    CE Release for H21 v.432B & H23 v.42EE 6/26

    Bringing up the recordings list on the H21-100 for the first time after a reset takes about a minute, and when the window comes up, it seems to be unpopulated. However, hitting Ch Down on the remote displays page 2 of the recordings from the HR21-100.

    CE Release for H21 v.432B & H23 v.42EE 6/26

    H21-100 MRVing from a HR21-100 Report: 20090628-3740 H21-100 locked up (video freeze and no remote response) in the middle of streaming the recording of last week's "In Plain Sight." H21-100 eventually rebooted itself. Recording played through the freeze location just fine with DirecTV2PC...

    MRV Can't Start with Netgear XE104 Powerline Adapters

    I'm pretty sure that the main protocols they're using are DLNA+DTCP. DLNA uses broadcast traffic to announce new servers, if I remember correctly. DLNA is common nowadays, DTCP is the encryption..

    Too much to ask????

    Is the satellite going to require a new dish? I just got my setup about 6 months ago :(

    How do you feel about directv's current HR series?

    I have a HR21. While it could use a faster processor so it doesn't drag sometimes in the UI, it's a great box with all of the CE features enabled.

    Ordering an Additional HD Receiver

    I would, but their DirecTV receiver pricing is $30 more expensive than Best Buy/direct from DirecTV. ;) I bought my SWM-8 through them. Best Buy is sounding like the best option, provided they aren't going to force an installer on me. There's one less than a mile from my place.

    Ordering an Additional HD Receiver

    Hello all, My experience with DirecTV has been well enough that I'd like to add an additional HD receiver in the guest bedroom (doubles as my PC room). I'd like to order it off of the website for convenience--is there any way to know what model reciever would be shipped to me? I'd like an H21...

    Rain fade with SWM

    Hello, Does SWM artificially inflate signal readings due to it being a powered system? I had my DirecTV installed at my apartment late last year, and the signal did not go out once during the winter even with the heavy snow and ice. However, storm season is starting, and the signal is lost...

    Minor UI improvement suggestions

    Agreed. It also ruins using the remote as a universal when the TV is not set to the DirecTV input.

    Same here. I would absolutely love to have this open at the same time I'm browsing or playing a simple game.

    Anyone see how many posts the Stars hit last night? I'm sure Mason would say that's all they had to shoot at after the opening goal :D

    MRV CE Question

    Thanks! I was hoping someone would reply saying they had tried what I was asking about. Here's to hoping a CE release for the HR21 happens this weekend, and I don't sleep through it with my cold..

    MRV CE Question

    Hey guys, I'll preface this by saying I've never done the CE program before, however, I'm a software engineer and typically enjoy debugging things :) I have both an H21 and an HR21. To get MRV, will upgrading only the H21 to the CE release be sufficient, or does the HR21 need to be on CE as...

    SWM On Standard Install?

    The condo association does not coordinate any satellite installations, however, they are allowed. They are requesting I don't have any additional holes on the exterior wall drilled, though, so I'm just wondering if I'll have to pay DirecTV for a SWM install or if it's covered by the free...

    SWM On Standard Install?

    Is SWM a part of the standard install for DirecTV? I moved into a new condo, and this place already has one wire coming into the living room from a DirecTV dish on the roof. I'm not sure what kind of dish that is on the roof, as I'm way out of date on what they all look like. I'd like to have...

    Eastern Arc Dish Info & Install Guide

    Just to get a little clarification - Has the 1000.4 and the Eastern Arc configuration been launched in a broader area than the listed cities yet? I will be moving to a new condo in Cedar Rapids, IA, 52403, with a patio on the Eastern side of the building. The building will be preventing LOS...
