    HD Direct TV @ 2nd home in Mexico

    As close as you are to the border, just get a regular SLIMLINE DISH with a SL3 LNB, unless you need the SL5, if you get a SWM LNB be sure to get a power inserter and switch If you have HD reception issues, you may need a Alaska/Hawaii dish for Mexico...

    At&t's future plan for Satellite service?

    I live in a rural area, been with DirecTV since 1995, the only "real" high speed internet here is two wireless "WISP" providers. While service has improved somewhat in the last 12 years, it is no where near stable enough or fast enough to support full time streaming HDTV. Time Warner is the...

    Directv account stacking

    Account Stacking? To me this is one customer having several extra receivers distributed to family/friends in different locations on their own separate dish. Now the Customer who has an extra receiver in the guest house on his property, camper he uses occasionally, or deer camp, while...

    Full Streaming Coming September 8th

    Ok, after the two NFL Games were over, I can stream Fox 26 now on my PC & iPad, is this some kind of tactic to not let us stream NFL Games on the local networks we subscribe too??? Very odd that I could stream before and after, but not during.

    Which Satellite Does Directv use?

    I have a Genie system now, but I also have a H24 & H25 as well. The H24 is nice as I can use a regular SL3 LNB and not have to worry about the Power Inserter. I'm still using an old Phase 3 with SL3 LNB, I've been meaning to get a DishNet dish to use for camping......

    Will this dish work with current receivers?

    As to what was said above, if your Uncle has a H25 or Genie receivers, the dish you posted with the LNB that it has WILL NOT WORK. FYI; You can also use that dish with a "normal" SL3 LNB, or a SWM-3 LNB with a power inserter, no multi-switch, to get HD on a newer receiver. The Phase 3 dish can...

    SWM Splitter needed?

    Ok, I recently upgraded from a whole home HR24 Protection plan refurb replacement POS to a new HR54 and two mini-genies. I kept a H25-700 for my camper, and the installer said it would require a SWM LNB, and sold me a power inserter and SL3 SWM LNB for $20 off of his truck before he left. I...

    can i own my own reciever?

    Subscriber since 1995, I still own most of my boxes except my DVR. Through the Protection Plan I have upgraded all of my OLD RCA Receivers to newer models, even my HD Receivers. But I've had to call Directv several times after Receiver replacement because they would change them from "Owned"...

    Genie Equipment Question

    Several friends/co-workers of mine who "moved" one county over did upgrades without "moving" back. When the techs called before coming, they gave them the "correct" address, tipped the techs $20-$100, all ok. Obviously this wouldn't work if you "moved" hundreds of miles away...

    B-Band Converters again

    Just asking, couldn't the H23 use a SWiM LNB? it didn't require a BBC with a non-SWiM LNB, why go backwards in technology with the H24 is all I'm asking. I go camping a lot in areas with scant cell/internet service and my trusty Phase III dish with non-SWiM SL-3 LNB to my H23 IRD set-up has...

    B-Band Converters again

    So after my HR22 was replaced (bad HDD) under the protection plan earlier this year with a HR24 and I went through this back then. My trusty owned H23-600 in the bedroom; the output on the HDMI stopped working. They send me a H24-700, guess what? it needs a B-Band Converter with my non-SWiM...

    Do you know any dealers that work with DirecTV and Dish Network?

    I know of some independent dealers in S. Texas who do both Dish & Direct. I also know friends and co-workers who pay extra to go through them for new house wiring, island installs, etc.

    Direct TV Dish Mast Size in Central Texas

    I used to use a Primestar dish with a Directv LNB on it for 101 sat since the mid 90's. The pipe was concreted in the ground, when I went to the slimline dish, I bolted a section on 2" pipe to the existing pipe, making sure it was level. The tech had no problems installing the dish, I had 2...

    Can I "move" back to my "other address" the same day after the tech comes for a service call?

    Friend of mine who "moved" long ago, when the tech calls before the visit, gives him the real address, none have had an issue with it or turned him in yet, he also tips generously.

    Houston locals Transponders?

    Odd.. Because I checked again today, and I have 95-97 signal on 103s TP's 16-24, and the other night I didn't, wonder if they had a sat problem as well. Because I showed no signal, if it was the uplink/downlink from the stations, shouldn't I have signal from the sat, but no picture...
