I haven't had any service done for a long time. I know it's time to have my dish looked at again and adjusted. However, today I was looking on the left side of my HR-43 (I think) receiver and I see that there is a fan behind the case on the left front. It's not moving. Is that a thermal fan that...

Is there any way to copy programs that I have recorded on my Hr24-100 to another HD so I don't lose them when I upgrade my dvr? Dave

So, my Hr24-100 shows that I need dish alignment and signals aren't up to par so I called to see what kind of deal I could get on an HR34 since I have been with them for 10+ years. Best deal they would offer was a free receiver upgrade to the hr34 but $100. for a Directv Cinema Connection kit...

Is it possible to connect both HDMI and component connections (to two different tvs) at the same time or does the HDMI cut the others out?? Reason I ask: I have a Toshiba projection tv connected to DVI +audio connections, and just bought an LCD 32" for another room that has HDMI connection and...

I have a Channel Master deep fringe vhf/uhf combo antenna with a channel master antenna amplifier with a channel master digital rotor underneath it. Before the AM21 addition, I plugged the antenna directly into the tv input and received channel 3's analog signal (believe the tower is in...

This has happened on my HR20-100s and now my replacement HR22-100 (was another problem). "Sometimes" when I tune to a HD channel my tv screen turns bright white and the actual channel is faintly visible. Tuning to another channel fixes it to the proper resolution most times, or, if I go to...

One of our local channels received over D*, and the same over the air, is driving us nuts. If we set the volume for regular programming, it's fine, but come commercial time it truly *blasts* them/us out. I've written to them before and they say that there is no problem on their end. So, can...

I had my second Slimline alignment in a year today. Seems one leg of the tripod was loose and the dish was moving. The tech told me that I should get the maintenance agreement as one trip for service equals the yearly maintenance charge (or close). My HR20-100 is leased as most all are...

I connected my HR20-100s via ethernet cable to my Linksys router. I can see the VOD programs and download them with no problem. System test shows my IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS and shows "Network" as connected. The next thing, Internet:, says "not connected to the...

Has anyone actually purchased one of these using the "$40. coupon"? If so, what's your experience on the out of pocket costs? Went to Radio Shack with my coupon yesterday and pulled the only one they had off the shelf -- $159.95!! I went to the manager and asked "what's up?" and she...

I've been dealing with DTV customer service since early December 2007, appealing the denial of distant networks. At my location, with 30' of mast, digital rotor, biggest Channel Master antenna, I am unable to get local networks (analog or digital). So, I initiated an appeal in accordance with...

I would really appreciate help getting major broadcast nets in HD. These games in analog are not good on a 50" tv. I have local channels in the Springfield/Hartford (MA) area via Directv. My location: 42.293370, -72.957453, (Chester, MA) which is right in the middle of the woods, with hills on...

Got my H20 (-100) installation today. I was hoping for the 700 but no luck. The installer said there was basically no difference? Anyway, this is my first time with a DVR. With the Old (E86) HD receiver (and any other SD receiver) I could set up a schedule to view programs daily, Monday...

I have a dual-cable with ground running from my barn roof to the back of my HDTV that is not being used. I self-installed it back in 1997 for Dish and I switched to DTV and they installed a new (single) cable when I switched. (I think that's how it went..) Wondering if I can tell the...

Hope someone can help. I've got a Channel Master 9521 antenna rotor about 30 ft up with 4 sets of guy wires. The rotor has had little use. I went to use it the other day and thought I'd start by "syncing" it. Well, it went all the way clockwise and now won't come back. The control box will go...

I purchased an extended warranty when I bought my Toshiba 50HDX82 in January 2003. Anyone know if warranties like that would cover cleaning lenses, etc?

Anyone have an idea what happened here? I have satellite locals. They have been showing up in the program guide fine until the other day, and now the "lowest" channel in the guide is 78. I can access the channels such as 3, 22, 40, 57, 61, and ESPNHD 73, but they don't show up. I tried...

Does anyone know - I got an 811 in December, with no committments. I paid for a year's subscription to HD Pak on my own. Is it possible to cancel that and get a rebate? Anyone ever had success doing that? I am very seriously considering selling my 811 and getting one of the D* HD...

Wondering, I'm in an area that is 1 1/2 hours from Albany, NY, and I'm told that those locals might be available to me.. Why? I'm in the Springfield/Holyoke MA DMA. Why would I want NY channels?? Directv is supposedly putting up the Springfield/Holyoke locals in April, if satellite 7s doesn't...

Well, I checked the search engine, but don't find what I'm looking for. Can someone tell me if it's possible to just get locals, or is there some other minimum package that must be bought to get them?

I have a 811 rcvr hooked up to a Dish 500 with a Dish Pro dual LNB (one cable coming to the rcvr for 110 & 119-internal switch). I got another Dish 500 with a "Y" bracket and plumbed the pipe, set the skew to 0 degrees and set the azimuth & elevation per the dish site. I brought my...

Well, I spent my first time in the DTV voice mail roundabout today, for about 30 minutes until I got to a voice. Seems that you have to listen to every option, and hope you get it right or you start right over again. I am a long time Dish owner, started out with a model 5000 way back. I...

Well, I've read the various postings regarding the merger, but I am wondering if this will end up benefiting those who don't qualify for locals? I'm kinda hoping that something will correct the obvious mistakes made with SHVIA.

Ok, it seems every time I sit down at the computer and spend time reading the forums, I have a cuppa sitting by my side. It would sure be nice to have a coffee cup with a SatelliteGuys Logo on it. (at least 11 oz!) ;) Reasonable cost would be nice. The added word "Supporter" would be...

Well, I can't see any way to fit this single Dish Pro LNB onto the arm of my DTV 18" dish. Does anyone see a problem with using a Y bracket that is used with Dish 500s? One side empty doesn't bother me, but I'm wondering about the offset from center reaching 61.5. Dave
