I got my Technician license (now General) and started with a Baofeng 8 years ago. The antenna that it came with was crap. I built myself a 2M dipole so I could hit the nearest repeater 5 mi. way. Of course, my radios are better now. Funny thing about Baofengs, you can't own just one

Yes, I powered down for about 12 hrs and then restarted.

Update: Cold Shutdown of the receiver seem to have done something. I don't get the errors any longer. I do have a couple 1TB SSD's at work. They were removed when a group of client's wanted 2TB's in their Precision laptops. So, I have that to go to if the errors show up again.

The hard drive is dying on my HR54. This is a pre-release engineering test model I don't believe is a lease unit. It's been giving me notifications of issues for some time, then it would just continue working. A simple reset didn't work. I had to disconnect the power for 12 hours to get it back...

I've been with Directv since 1999, 24 yrs. I bought a 2 receiver Sony package from Egghead. We had to install and set it up yourself back then.

The FCC regulates interference. If car generated noise (QRM) is the reason they want to quit installing AM radios, isn't it up to the manufacturer to eliminate it. When you find the electric lines are generating noise, you can get the power company to replace the bad transformer. Even computers...

I've had an LCC for 3 or 4 years connected to the HR54. I've had no issues. I just plugged it in and it worked.

Anyone going to Hamvention? I've ordered my tickets. It's a 5-6 hour drive for me. Last year I spent as much to equip my retired police car (FPIU) as I did on radios.

I've made my way here. I had a login, but haven't used it for a while.

I had to call Directv to get it added today. ATT isn't setup yet to subscribe by text or the website. Also, when you call, they don't recognize "add epix". You have to talk to a CSR.

I maybe stating the obvious here. But, you could call back and talk to another CSR to straighten it out. Or, just wait and see how things turn out. It should get caught once they find that they can't bill you for an RVU.

In the setting on the Directv receiver, you can set what you want the receiver to output. The options are 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. Just block out the ones you don't want.

The maximum resolution you will get from regular broadcasts is 1080I. There are some pay programs that will display in 1080P. You can not get UHD with the HR24. You can change the resolution in the HR24 settings. If it is already set to display 1080i, you need to hold down the Exit button on the...

Yes, this is not a Directv issue. This has to do with the network branding itself.

I saw 1101 this morning. I didn't see the 1103.

Directv will be dropping support of SD signals soon. That will free up the KU transponders on the 101 satellite for HD use.

Not quite right. If your TV has RVU capability, you don't need the client.

I have had my HR54 for a year and a half. It was self installed. I've had DTV to my home once in 20 years of use. Answers are embedded in the quote.

I started out with 2 of those Sony receivers. I used it for over 10 years. I think you will find that they won't work with a SWM setup.

Isn't the whole point of the 5D2RB LNB to get 119? Which LNB is currently being installed the 5D2RB or 3D2RB?

I used to work for BP at one of the refineries. This option was set up. You could make a phone connection from a handy talkie. It was authorized to certain people and it's use was frowned upon. People tended to monopolize the channel for too long.

There was a time when you could look up his real home address at the FCC site. That has changed. I was watching the movie "In Like Flint" (a James Bond spoof). They were using a Drake R4 receiver. A recent episode of NCIS featured amateur radio. The inaccuracies had Facebook posters up in a roar.

My membership ran out in the spring. I'll have to wait until I signup again and read about the project online. I'm getting an analyser from Fox Delta. I don't trust my MFJ.

I was watching at a bar until the 7th inning stretch then I went home. I fell asleep for the last out.

Directv has hundreds of million dollars invested in the satellite infrastructure. It may exist along side a streaming service, but it isn't going away for at least another 20 years. There are 3 brand new satellites up there.
