    Good signal strength yet fails setup on the Odd 99 & 103 .....

    Helping out a buddy with his install. Pegged the 101 (all 95+). High 80's on both the 99 & 103 evens & odd's yet when I select "Continue" it fails the check for the odd 99's & 103's. Slimline 3 with 4 outputs. Any ideas ?

    Keeping movies on DVR ....

    Back in the day you could keep any PPV you recorded for as long as you liked. Then, a while back, DTV dissalowed this, putting time limits on stored PPV recordings. This sucks. Have they ever considered an option for us to perhaps pay a few dollars more, allowing us to keep PPV movies on the...

    Where'd the 103(b) go ?

    It was there yesterday but gone today. The 103(a) is fine with all available transponders in the high 80's ? Did they turn it off ?

    Call ext 736 ?

    What does it mean ? I ordered "Revenge of the Fallen" for my son in 1080p and yet only the 1080i channels showing the movie are on. I see "call extension 736" on the 1080p channel. What gives ?

    HD channels on SD TV ?

    My parents were over this week and my dad fell in LOVE with the Smithsonian HD Channel. They currently have an HR20 but no Slimline. If I bought them a Slimline to catch the HD feeds and added the HD package to their account they could watch Smithsonian HD Channel in SD with the receiver set to...

    HR22 and firmware release 2F6 ?

    What was 2F6 for ? I received a message yesterday saying that my HR22 had been updated with "Quick Tune". However, I have had "Quick Tune" for at least a month or so .... maybe longer if I just missed it.

    Loss and then sudden return of Sat 2 signal ?

    Woke up this morning to some bad weather and the dreaded "Searching for signal on Sat 2" message on my local HD channel 4. I checked the 5 lnb Slimline and saw that it was clear. Rather than doing a reset, I simply did a T15 signal check on 103S, found the signal after about 20 seconds and...

    110 & 119 rolled into 103 & 99 ?

    While searching for a 5 lnb Slimline Dish on e-bay I found this .... "The 110 and 119 satellites have been rolled back into the 103 and 99 satellites for HIGH DEFINITION programming" What does it mean ? Thanks. OUB. :)

    Plasma TV border question.

    Recently I noticed that when I pause live TV on my DirecTV HR22 DVR a roving DirecTV icon appears after a short time. This is fine except that a small amount of it disappears behind the edge of the screen area as it "bounces" off of the "walls". Any idea why ? Am I missing some portion of...

    Scrolling bar on Panasonic Viera.

    TH-46PZ80U Panasonic Viera 1080p panel. Translucent horizontal bar, scrolling from top to bottom, at all times when on SD channel, never on HD channel. Motorola HD cable box. Any ideas ? Thanks. UB. :)

    99 & 103 spotbeam questions ....

    1) Why is the transponder test response time so slow on the 99 & 103 spotbeam transponders as opposed to the conus transponders ? 2) Why is there such variation between transponders on a satellite if they are all on the same bird ?

    Now I AM confused .... 1080p out of a 720p TV ?

    OK, I have a Panasonic TH50PX80U 50" Plasma TV. A cursory look at the available documentation points to 720p as it's resolution limit. However, after spending an hour last night messing with the TV's various settings and my HR22's various settings it seems as if my TV will display 1080p. Here's...
