    DTV to Cox HD

    Well, I had DTV HD at my apartment and went through struggles to get it working and when I finally did, a tree branch grew just long enough to interfere with most of the HD signals. Anyway, I just switched to Cox HD with 1 Scientific Atlanta HD-DVR receiver and 1 Scientific Atlanta HD...

    Have to Give up D* Service

    Yeah, this might be true. Now in the main office, they have all these special offer (for residents only) coupons/brochures for the local cable company.

    Have to Give up D* Service

    My porch is my "exclusive area". You walk up a set of stairs and you have my front door and only my front door. I'm responsible for keeping it clean and the items I place on it. Prior to moving in, I had requested an apartment that had a balcony facing S. or a corner unit. I was told that is...

    Have to Give up D* Service

    I'm looking into that right now. A DTV rep sent me a FCC link and it's providing me a lot of info.

    Have to Give up D* Service

    Good advice, I wish I thought of that when I moved in. As they say, hind-sight is always 20/20. I figured that management approval of the install and location was perfectly acceptable.

    Have to Give up D* Service

    I will try to get a letter, that might be my best option... The porch was considered an "OK" place to install, but I don't think corporate liked the size or height of the tripod for the Slimline dish. The installer that did the job knew the management (he had done nearly all the installs in...

    Have to Give up D* Service

    Well, a month after moving into my apartment, I have to give up DTV. I'm actually quite upset, given the fact that my apartment management allowed the installation and gave me the "OK" prior to moving in. So the story from one of the apartment managers was "Corporate came down to view the new...

    ESPN2HD Problem

    So my problem is specifically a ESPN2HD problem and I only notice it while watch NASCAR. The PQ is great, no problems, but whenever they switch to a certain camera (same camera, typically a turn 4 camera) the signal momentarily freezes. Is this a coverage problem (their broadcasting) or my D*...

    DirecTV Loyalty Progam

    I've only been a D* customer for 18 months... No loyalty yet, but I did get an additional free HD receiver and my movie premiums free for 4 months.

    Just Moved, A Couple Problems

    What exactly is a flat cable? From the satellite, it's 2 cables bonded together, until it gets inside where it splits off. The fog isn't too thick and now I don't think the fog is a problem. It was foggy last night and I didn't have any problems. I'm a bit concerned with the signals...

    Just Moved, A Couple Problems

    Here's the pics! Sorry it took so long! I had to get 15 posts before I could post links or pics. Here is a picture right behind the dish (the shadow is the dish): Here is the tripod and dish (the smaller dish is for the person below me): Another angle of the dish location...

    Welcome New Members! (Please Say HI here!)

    New member from Oceanside, CA... I've had DTV since 2005 and have read the forums for over a year before finally registering. I have 2 HR21-100 receivers connected to an LG 50" Plasma 720p and Samsung 37" LCD 1080p. I've also been a Sirius subscriber since 2006. This place is a great...

    Yikes, never heard of that before! Can you imagine the mess of feathers? Either way, the taxi driver has an early Thanksgiving dinner. ;)

    Splitting Signal From 1 Receiver

    I have a 2nd room (my home office) that is adjacent to my bedroom where there is a H21-100 receiver. I want to use the RCA output to display programming on my TV in my 2nd room. My problem is, I cannot find any place that sells long RCA or S-Video cables. I haven't been able to find anything...

    DirecTV sells ones for around $40, I believe. RF remotes will send the signal through your walls.

    Need to send back old LNB?

    No, you don't need to return it... They probably don't even want it.

    I will be very happy on 10/02/08

    I heard the PQ on FiOS is slightly better than the satellite offerings. While I haven't seen it with my own 2 eyes, it's just something I've heard. I just can't give up DTV until someone else has Hotpass or something similar.

    HOTPASS for FREE

    I haven't been able to get any deals this season, but when I ordered last season, they gave me the last 16 races for $4.95.

    Looking to pick up someones Data Plan.

    I have a 1 month old USB laptop modem for Verizon Wireless. The plan is $59.99 for 5GB of usage. I bought it last month when I was on business in D.C., but now I don't really use it and I'm stuck in a 2 year contract. It's not AT&T, but send me a PM if you're interested and we can discuss...

    I will check out the 103 numbers as soon as I get home. I really don't want to cancel service because of Hotpass. It's almost a must for me. ;) Anyway, I will get you those numbers later this afternoon. How could I tell if the trees are a problem? It would make more sense to me if the...
