    In a hotel, how does 41 directv channels in analog work

    I’m in a hotel for Labor Day weekend for a beach vacation with my family. They have channels 2-42 in analog (looks terrible). The aspect ratio looks correct but it’s washed out and fuzzy due to being analog. At check in one other guest said some of the channels had no sound. The guy said ok...

    Redoing roof in near future. Who’s responsible for DirecTV dish?

    Hello. I’m just beginning the process of getting some quotes from local roofing companies to redo my entire roof. My homeowners insurance company gave us a check for the majority of this due to hail damage. Because so many homes in my neighborhood have had hail claims, it may be a few weeks...

    Attic antenna suggestion for Directv LCC

    Due to the CBS dispute I received a free DirecTV LCC. It came with the Winegard amplified flatwave antenna.

    Hello, At work we have a Dish Network system that feeds two commercial receivers. One is tube to audio only and we are actually billed through mood music for it. The other one supplies CNN HD for news and Nick for kids. When we get heavy rain, the music goes out first, but oddly the HD TV...

    Is there any way to make an HR24-200 faster?

    I have an HR44 and HR24. Obviously the 44 is fairly responsive. However the 24 has gotten very slow over the years. I replaced the hard drive twice, and infact now it has a laptop size drive in it because its all I had laying around that would fit. Using it is so frustrating. A channel...

    Birdies / harmonics and combining RTL SDR device

    This is a 3 part post (rather than 3 separate posts). Birdies Do you encounter a lot of signal birdies? For example off the top of my head at exactly 144.0000 MHz, there appears to be a very strong birdie. Huge signal peak but the audio is nothing. It opens squelch to silent audio. There's...

    Dish 500, old 2800 commercial receiver for Muzak - transponder issues

    Our business has a dish 500 with a single cable run to a 2800 commercial receiver, which is pretty old, or at least the menu's and stuff look pretty old. This is for a "muzak" subscription for commercial business. The issue is that many transponders do not have signal at all off of 119 W...

    Options to add a new receiver

    I have a SWM setup and one HR24-200 and one H24-200. I have the multiroom DVR service. I would like to add another TV. There are plenty of ports on the green splitter (8 ports), and I tried my H24-200 in different rooms just to make sure they work (they do). The extra TV I'm hooking up...

    Question on Undercover Boss

    This week the CEO of DirecTV will be on Undercover Boss. We have higher priority programs recording at that time, so I will miss it. Question is, will this episode be available for download on VOD? After all it is DirecTV's CEO! If not, will CBS air it online? My last resort is bit torrent.

    Best way to express interest in HD channels?

    Hello, I was wondering what the best avenue for vocalizing customer interest in national HD channel carriage for DirecTV. When I had Comcast, they had an online form you could fill out, and one of the drop downs was for programming requests. I'm not sure if they still have it or not - but...

    TVApps not available (code 11) HR24/H24

    I had a new D* install a few weeks ago with MRV, and ICK and an HR24-200 and H24-200. It's connected via SWM. On both boxes I get an error code 11 that TVApps are unavailable. This is odd to me, because everything else works. The self test passes, VOD works, MRV works, Scoreguide works...

    Moving, questions on dish install

    Hello, I've had Comcast cable for years now, but we are moving to an area where they do not serve. I'm considering Dish Network because it looks like their 922 dvr is really slick with the HD menu's, sling capability, online scheduling, etc... I also looked at DirecTV, but their DVR on screen...
