I've had DirecTV for years. My account is in good standing. I have two HR-24's. One is failing due to a very loud and rattling cooling fan. I'd like a replacement HR-24. 1) But I've read on this forum that replacement HR24's are no longer being sent? 2) If no HR24's, what do I want to ask...

I want to calculate skew as DTv measures it from the skew reading as Dishpointer give it. For example, if the Dishpointer skew is -6.8, is the DTv skew 83.2? And if the Dishpointer skew is +6.8, is the DTv skew 96.8?

Let's assume a Slimline dish is properly aligned. If I replace a SL5 LNB with a SL3 LNB and I do not move the dish nor bend the arm will the dish be properly aligned for the SL3?

I have an HR 21-700 connected to my home network; TV Apps work quite well. The receiver is connected to my router. Zone Alarm on my desktop computer reports that the HR 21-700 receiver tries to connect to my desktop several times a day. Zone Alarm blocks each attempted connect; the attempted...

I'd like to post my meter readings. I have them in an Excel spreadsheet. I'd like to post them just as text within a message. I can't figure out a good way to copy and paste from the spreadsheet to a message that maintains the data in columns. Is there a good way to do this?

On my HR21/700, I can't get the audio feedback on the transponder signal strength meters to work. Do I just have a forgotten setting turned off, or is there some other explanation? Thanks!

Which transponders and satellites carry the DirecTV on-screen program guide? If the guide information is on multiple satellites, is the guide downloading faster from one satellite versus another?

I'm new to DirecTV. I understand that the stronger the signal readings the less the issues with bad weather. These are my readings on a clear day. Could these readings be improved (I'm in East Texas - 75605) or are they as good as they can be? 99b 1-8 98 0 91 0 94 0...

I know that if I connect my HR21/700 to my home network, I can order pay per view movies over the network and avoid a phone connection. Also, I think that I saw something that said I could control recordings over the network. Is there any other capability that results from connection to my...

How can I determine which channels are on which satellite?

I like the new mini-menu (the one when you are in a full screen display and press UP displays a menu of 9 channels choices you can set). I was trying to set the DirecTV News Mix channel as such a choice. When you tune to that channel (352) you are not in full screen and can not access the...

How long is a standard DirecTV pole for a Slimline dish? What are the guidelines for how deeply it should be set?

My location has a lot of trees and want to verify where a dish could be located. Can anyone tell me which DirecTV satellites I will need to be able to see for SD and HD? Or refer me to a site that has this information? My zip is 75605.

I ordered DirecTV yesterday by telephone. I told the CSR that I was pretty sure I would need a pole mount because of line of sight restrictions caused by trees; if my informal analysis is correct, there is no way to attach a dish to the house and have the proper line of sight to the satellites...

I'm not now a subscriber to Directv, but might be soon. Although I will have Directv install the system, I'm trying to determine where my dish might be put. I live in Texas, the Directv pointer says that the Elevation of the satellites is 52 and Azimuth is 188. Elevation, I think, is just the...
