    Independent tech/installer needed for Dish Alignment in Orlando

    Ok Guys, I'm back online with DirecTV! The tech came yesterday and checked all the connections, etc without finding any obvious issues. He realigned the dish and viola, perfect HD signal returned once again. He said the dish alignment wasn't off by much, but as previously discussed the alignment...

    Independent tech/installer needed for Dish Alignment in Orlando

    I'm starting to think this may not be an alignment issue. I've checked all connections, the dish is still aimed where it was before removal, the mast is plumb, and all of the adjustment settings (Azimuth, etc) are exactly where they were before. Fortunately, I took photos and marked every...

    Independent tech/installer needed for Dish Alignment in Orlando

    I considered this but was concerned that the arm and LNB would likely be damaged by flying debris. Still glad I took it down completely, we had lots of flying debris in my area.

    Independent tech/installer needed for Dish Alignment in Orlando

    I unbolted the dish and took it down during the storm as we got 100 mph winds which would have likely ripped the dish off the roof completely. The dish was inside my garage, just the mount base left on the roof. I carefully marked the alignment bolts where the pole attaches to the base before...

    Independent tech/installer needed for Dish Alignment in Orlando

    Hi Folks, Long time lurker, but have been around the forums for several years. I live in the Orlando, FL area and my DirecTV dish was knocked out of alignment when I took it down before Hurricane Irma. I'm getting the Error 771 - searching for signal. I checked all the connections, power...

    Got it. I still want the BB DECA for the cinema plus/directv on demand, so I will install them when they arrive. Thanks to everyone for their help. I will update the thread in a few days once everything arrives and I get it all hooked up.

    Whole Home DVR....SO CONFUSED, Please Help!

    Yes, I have the new system (SWM). I think I understand now. I just bought this stuff off e-bay: DECA MRV Directv Ethernet Band stop filter power supply - eBay (item 320733209532 end time Aug-11-11 17:43:20 PDT) I think that will solve my issues, and all I need now is the green label splitter...

    Ok, I would need one green label splitter to use at the router/deca connection, correct? As for the data filters, what exactly do I need to buy?

    Whole Home DVR....SO CONFUSED, Please Help!

    I just did some research, maybe someone can tell me if this setup will work for MRV (whole home DVR) and internet for both HR-24's (VOD). Install the DECA at my home network router: connecting ethernet to the router and the DECA; Install a coax cable from the wall (DTV outlet) to the DECA. This...

    Whole Home DVR....SO CONFUSED, Please Help!

    I have named each of the HR-24's differently (One is livingRoom and one is BedRoom). In the setup menu I also selected share playlist for both, but neither of the HR-24's can see the other.

    Whole Home DVR....SO CONFUSED, Please Help!

    So, up until today I had a HR-24 DVR and 4 standard def boxes from directv. I had connected the HR-24 to the internet via ethernet cable to my home router with no problems. Today I replaced one of the standard def boxes with another HR-24 installed by a directv tech and I turned on whole home...
