Only 28 days. That sucks. Guess I will stick with my current setup.

I currently have 2 h24s hooked up to a HTPC running Sagetv. I am looking at switching to a directv DVR, but am worried about loosing one feature of Sage. It keeps a list of all shows that I have ever watched and will not record one of those shows again. I watch a lot of reruns, but don't want to...

Wtf is an edge cutter?

I couldnt figure out how to just add to my previous post with the iPhone app so sorry about the second post. If you are looking at OTA only, a HTPC is definitely the way to go. I even use my HTPC for D* connected to 2 H24s for dual tuner capability. This gives me much more capabilities than...

Or just build/buy a HTPC and pay no monthly fees

Not sure about how much data D* uses, but if you are tech savvy, you could adjust your QOS settings in your router to give your VOIP priority. I did this with my OOMA (VOIP box) and no matter how hard I stress my Internet connection, my VOIP is perfect.

They are back up. According to the other board, a construction crew on Hamilton ave cut up a bunch of fiber and copper lines.

Maybe an HDMI handshake issue? Try just turning the tv on/off and leave the receiver as is.

Not to sound dumb, but is the power inserted plugged in?

True on both points, but there are some pretty nonstandard people out there.

Is the existing coax being used for anything? Is it RG6 or 59? Do all the coax runs in the house go directly from the room outlet to the comm closet with no splitters anywhere (except inside the closet where they can be accessed?

There are big time rumors going around that AMC HD will be added right after Labor Day.

Actually, it can hurt to try in this case. In order to get his wife to try, he will have to cancel service first, losing his grandfathered NFLST only package, which he won't be able to get back.

I know the aaa and refer can be combined. Call and set up using the aaa number. Then call back on the refer number and tell them you forgot to tell them that your friend revered you (you will need their account number). Not sure about the others. If you don't have aaa yet and are thinking about...

True, but the resolution sucks. Sent from my iPad using SatelliteGuys

I had E* a couple years ago and had real bad problems with rain fade (I think it was due to a poor initial install). Whenever I called them, they were very insistent that I NOT go up on my roof because I might hurt myself. (they sent a tech out for free several times). As soon as I canceled...

5 TVs in a motorhome?? I thought the whole point of a motorhome was to get out and see the outdoors. Sent from my iPad using SatelliteGuys

What about 2 non-DVR HD receivers? What are the chances of getting a swm installation? Any way to improve the chances? I may add whole home with DVR later down the road and want to simplify things by starting out with swm. Sent from my iPad using SatelliteGuys

Is there any problem using a 4 way splitter and only using two ports! (swm splitter) When I have my d* installed, where will the installer put the power injector? Does it go outside? Near one of the boxes? Is it it something that is easily moved? Sent from my iPad using SatelliteGuys

Basically I want two receivers set up in one room for right now, but may move them to a hidden closet in another room later. My plan was to have one receiver put in each room by the installer so the cables are there, and then move both receivers into the same room after he leaves. I guess that...

I am looking at getting d* installed with two hd receivers. Is this like cable where if I add another receiver later, I can just use a regular cable splitter and split off of the coax? Sent from my iPad using SatelliteGuys

I just wanted to make sure that all current receivers are capable as I don't know which one I am gonna get. Sent from my iPad using SatelliteGuys

I will be using a HTPC running sagetv which can do the channel changing via Ethernet as long as the receiver is capable of it Sent from my iPad using SatelliteGuys

Are all current HD receivers (non DVR) capable of changing channels via Ethernet? I am thinking of signing up with D*, but I will be hooking this up to my own HTPC DVR and I don't want to mess with using an ir transmitter and it's inherent unreliability.n o.€+897 Sent from my iPad using...
