    Directv Remote & New Sony Stereo Receiver

    OP HERE: With all the cable switching, I am not sure what I did, but IT WORKS! I moved HDMI cable to #2 on back of television (and it's still plugged into TV OUT on Sony Receiver) and plugged in the optical audio cable! I just tried Netflix and I have sound AND picture! I'll try Amazon later...

    Directv Remote & New Sony Stereo Receiver

    Here's the setup I have now and it equals SOUND but no picture. The sound is from the channel I have set on the Directv receiver. IF I move the silver HDMI cable over to #2 on the back of the TV, I get picture AND sound, but can't use TV's built-in Netflix/Amazon...I KNOW I'm missing something...

    Well, I'm a step ahead of you...I had ordered one from Amazon several days ago and it arrived today! Now I gotta go back and read what you said to do with it...that'll be tomorrow. I'm down for the night - couch, tv, wine, pup... THANKS, everyone! :)

    Directv Remote & New Sony Stereo Receiver

    OP HERE AGAIN: I was reading the online manual for the Sony Receiver. The online version says that in order to use the ARC function, you must have a high-speed hdmi cable. (I didn't know such a thing existed!). Anyway, I've ordered one - won't be here for several weeks (so much for Amazon...

    Directv Remote & New Sony Stereo Receiver

    Okay, I have a silver braided HDMI cable plugged in the Vizio HDMI #1(ARC). That is the ONLY cable coming from the back of the TV. That silver coax goes into the A/V Receiver TV OUT(ARC). I have an HDMI cable coming from the Directv box, going into the SAT/CATV IN. Sound works fine. No picture...

    New Issue: Connection How-To Needed!

    Enjoying the fruits of YOUR labor in giving me advice last week. But I AM BACK. New problem! I REALLY could use some simple instructions to hook up 'my stuff'. I have Directv and a Vizio SmartTV with 'built-in' Netflix and Amazon (among others, which I don't use). My equipment: Vizio E43-F1 TV...

    Directv Remote & New Sony Stereo Receiver

    OP HERE: I originally had the model number and it was not listed. I also did push the VOLUME UP button for every code given...no luck.

    Extension Cable for Winegard Carryout G3

    I have the older Winegard Carryout that has 2 cables coming off it. The new Carryouts have power through coax. Occasionally, I need longer than Winegard's included 25' cable. Can "regular" coax be used in these new units as extension cables, or must I buy some different type of cable and the...

    Winegard ORIGINAL Carryout & R22-100

    OP HERE. We're in the midst of a blizzard (go figure in NW TN!), so no walking over to the trailer! FedEX is supposed to deliver a new receiver today to replace the one that went belly up (the one that worked just fine with the Winegard!)

    Winegard ORIGINAL Carryout & R22-100

    1) Going to try new coax when the weather lets up! :( 2) Don't know about the LNB (it's inside the Winegard Carryout, right?) 3) Dish is spot on the satellites. 4) This DVR works fine in the house, which was just switched over to SWM. SO frustrating!

    Winegard ORIGINAL Carryout & R22-100

    The only other choice (beside SWM) is the 18" round and I've tried it. Same result. I plan to try a different coax and then I'll be stumped.

    Winegard ORIGINAL Carryout & R22-100

    OP HERE. I walked over to my little trailer and tried it again. Here's what I saw. The receiver has now accepted non-SWM. The Winegard antenna is in an open area, with a perfect position pointing southish (it has never NOT worked before). I have new thin coax cable, but it, too, worked the...

    Winegard ORIGINAL Carryout & R22-100

    It does ask me for dish type and I downloaded the Winegard manual. Manual said to pick 18" x 20" 3-lnb when setting up for Directv. This DVR was in the house on the new SWM installation and it keeps reverting to those settings out in the travel trailer. I don't know how to "clear" the SWM...

    Winegard ORIGINAL Carryout & R22-100

    My Winegard Carryout Antenna only does SD for Directv. But when I do the set-up, it still tells me it's needed and the set-up fails. The "error message" is something like NO SATELLITE SIGNAL DETECTED. The antenna is in a wide open area and has a clear shot to the satellites (using SatTV app on...

    Winegard ORIGINAL Carryout & R22-100

    I've used a Directv receiver for many years with my Carryout antenna in my travel trailer. The receiver I normally used has up and died on me (HR21-100). I never before needed a b-band converter. I took an R22-100 out to the little travel trailer and the set-up it telling me I need b-band...

    Original Winegard Carryout

    OP HERE - just went and looked on the bottom of the antenna. There is nothing except CarryOut. Like I said, it's the original, big one.

    Original Winegard Carryout

    I have an original Winegard Carryout (the BIG one...). I have searched online and have only found compatible Directv receivers for the newer Carryout(s). Does anyone know which receivers are compatible with the original Carryout? My new travel trailer has a little cubby meant for satellite...

    Dish Pay-As-You-Go

    My friends just yesterday bought a 2014 handicap accessible Class A motorhome with a satellite antenna "built in". I was trying to do some research for them on getting Dish Pay-As-You-Go for the times when they are traveling. They have cable at their home. (I personally have Directv and just...

    RV and SD Directv Through Canada & Alaska

    Sorry - I just went and checked out the dish. It's a single LNB. So, I can use the DSLookAngle program and choose the 101 satellite, right? Thanks for your reply.

    RV and SD Directv Through Canada & Alaska

    I am planning a trip to Alaska in a few weeks with my little travel trailer (leaving from TN). My question: I have a SD D* receiver in my trailer and a portable dish (mounted on that PVC upside down mount). Dish has 2 LNBs. I would like to use DSLookAngle to find my readings as I head...

    Transfer TIVO DVR Show to 2nd DVR (Panasonic)

    Hmmmm...broadcast television, commericals and all, trying to get a new person "hooked" on the show. Do ya really think the producers are gonna mind? I vote no. And besides, this is personal use - I'm personally interested in seeing that my friend loves the show as much as I do! ;)
