    Losing Signal During the Day. Fine at Night!

    I did get the signal back. Which also isn't unusual. I get the latter, go up & just start messing with everything I see. Might just push up on the dish a bit. Tighten some bolts, maybe that won't work, so might double/triple check connectors, tighten those. Might wiggle the wires around...

    Losing Signal During the Day. Fine at Night!

    This is super annoying. D* Installed this past spring, April. Never had any signal loss up until a few weeks ago, where it went out all day & night. I got up on our roof, just pushed the dish around a bit (didn't mess with alignment). Just thought it was maybe off a hair, IDK. But doing this...

    Versus Removed Sept 1 from DirecTV

    Versus, just sign a damn deal. If you aren't on DirectTV, then all of a sudden most of the nation goes from having you, to not having you. Think of all the ad revenue lost. I don't know the nature of the negotations, but both sides need to get this done. I'll be honest, I do need versus...

    Remote Reaction SOOO Slow!

    yeah, for some reason my hr-23 has been real slow (at times) the last few days. Before that, not too much problem. Then the past few days, sometimes the delay is extremely slow, then a minute later some commands are responding quick. Considering we've only had D* since early april, I doubt...

    When a new National HD channel launches, will it be stickied here?

    Just curious, since I don't get any new channel updates any other way and have custom guides, I worry that when a new channels goes HD (or gets added), that I won't know about it. And I only check in here maybe once a week, so I don't have time to go through every post in the past week or more...

    local HD

    I know our reciever had "hide SD channel duplicates" enabled by default, thus maybe he wouldn't see 2 of each channel. Also, we have all local HD now, but none of the channels are actually listed as HD. Just the normal call letters, but no "HD" at the end. And on a couple local channels there...

    How do I find 1080p movies?

    Still getting used to my D* reciever and navigating on demand. I can find a lot of HD movies, but I'm told there are 1080p movies available, however I don't know how to find them. How do I know the difference between regular HD and 1080p? I've looked through many of the popular rentals, but no...

    Questions about moving to D*

    Yeah you can definitely lockout channels, and when you hit the guide button twice it brings up another way to sort channels (like sports, educational, ect.). Then you can also make a couple different customized favorites lists, along with the quickview thing where you can store your 9 most...

    HR23 Software/HD Channel Updates. How does this work?

    I've been through the settings on my HR23. I'm new to D*. Just had E*, and those recievers would shut down every night and check for updates. These HR23's (and a regular HD reciever) don't seem to do that, or if they do I've never noticed. Nor can I find a setting that mentions anything about...

    FSN Pittsburgh - Pixellation

    Pixellation once again last night, it always gets worse at the same times like during pregame, then during the actual game its not as bad, but all FSN pittsburgh games I've watched since getting dish have certainly been less than optimal. They were great on E*. Is this issue just bad timing...

    Directv MLB EI Free Preview

    I am 100% sure that the game was not on any local channels last night. Yet it was still blacked out. That is pretty messed up. When doing a free preview, you want to show how great EI is and want people to buy it. But when people are trying to check in on their teams and getting blacked out...

    Switching from cable, debating between D* and E*...

    I had E*, and things were OK for a while, but then they started falling behind in national HD, and still are. Then they still haven't added HD locals for our area (are you pittsburgh market? If so you get them with D* or E*, if you are altoona market like myself, you can only get them via D*...

    Directv MLB EI Free Preview

    This was the 1 day I wanted to watch free EI, and my game is blacked out! Wanted to watch the pirates game as its not being televised in our area, so I clicked on the channel its supposed to be on (730), and it said it was blacked out and that there was not another channel it was on. So we...

    Wow! Super Nice HD on VH1!

    Just wanted to note this as this was something I didn't expect. I am new to D* and definitely watch some VH1 programming. With E* I was so used to the compressed to hell SD feeds like when I watched Rock of Love last week (hey, I like to watch train wrecks, don't judge!). So I tune in this...

    FSN Pittsburgh - Pixellation

    UPDATE: Todays game is about to start, watching pregame, super awful pixellation. This sucks! I hope this is happening to E* subs as well, otherwise, I'd be upset @ D* because the pens games are easily the most important HD broadcasts I watch. It must be the FSN feed though, cuz it went...

    Time for Charlie to resign!!!!!

    Sluggo, I see your point. However, & I can't speak for everyone, but I feel like the reason most are complaining (about whatever regarding E*) has to do with a number of things. And maybe the latest thing or two was just the straw that broke the camels back for some people, such as myself...

    FSN Pittsburgh - Pixellation

    Yup, what you described was pretty much what I noticed as well then. Must be the feed from FSN, and likely not a dish issue. At least that's what I'll assume. Got another game today in florida, hopefully its better.

    DVR Scheduler has my Access Card ID's backwards! How can I fix?

    Thanks, was able to find the online settings, had to scroll down pretty far on the account page though, but it seems everything works like it should now.

    DVR Scheduler has my Access Card ID's backwards! How can I fix?

    I have 2 HR23 HD DVR's, new install. When I went into DVR Scheduler on my PC, I set for a show to record in the bedroom DVR, but it didn't show up there, yet it did show up on the living room DVR. Works the other way around too where if I schedule something for living room, it ends up in the...

    How to assign a 2nd remote to a reciever? Not having any luck.

    Finally got the 2nd remote to work, but it was real wierd how I got it to work. First, I used the dvr scheduler on my pc, picked a show for my bedroom (the choices being bedroom or living room), and nothing showed up on the bedroom DVR. Out of curiosity, I checked the living room DVR, and that...

    FSN Pittsburgh - Pixellation

    At times, yes it was badly pixelated, but most of the time it seemed OK, not the best HD broadcast I've seen though. Also when I noticed quick pixelation when the camera's switched, or like the second when coming back from a commercial. I've seen this issue on some HD channels on both dish and...

    Got D* installed today, E* is gone! My experience so far...

    Yeah, I suppose it makes sense (since 2 of our 3 recievers are HD DVR's), to just make the 3rd reciever HD, and avoid the issues you mentioned. But still, whatever the reason, we are still pretty happy about it. Like I said, now that 3rd reciever can pick up those HD only channels, its a real...

    How to assign a 2nd remote to a reciever? Not having any luck.

    You sure that is correct? that didn't work for me either. Assuming I put in the RID numbers correctly. The RID numbers are 12 numbers total, 4 in each set, so in step 5 above, I put in the last 2 #'s of the 2nd set, and all 4 #'s in the last set. Again, assuming that is correct. I tried step...

    How to assign a 2nd remote to a reciever? Not having any luck.

    I have an HR23 in our main room. Then we are running a sdtv mirrored off that reciever in the room underneath that one. The plan was to just get an extra remote (which I did, exact same model remote as the original one, RC64R), & program it to also be able to control that reciever (in RF mode...

    Got D* installed today, E* is gone! My experience so far...

    D* exceeded my expectations today. I thought the installer would take 5 hours due to each room needing a reciever & thought that the way our cable is run might be an issue, but the installer said that it would have been a problem 6 months ago, but recently it isn't (not sure why, but it was...
