When there is a moderate to heavy downpour, I will get loss of signal on most channels. Even if the rain is scattered, but its heavy on the clouds, this doesn’t happen all the time but still… Are there any remedies to reduce said instances?

it actually is and for awhile now

My HR24-200 main DVR unit froze today on the progress bar midst the process of deleting a recording from my playlist. It did not freeze for a moment or two but took 2 hard restarts to get back up and running, the first restart rendered the remote useless. While everything is fine now, I have had...

Being an avid NBA fanatic, I regularly purchase NBA League Pass to see almost every game every night. So I am randomly changing channels and I noticed the regional sports stations the games air on if in that area aren’t blacked out and are playing the same telecasts as LP is at the same time. I...

I can't seem to find my old thread with the UPS I posted about. We had too many things on tonight and the circuit turned off, turning off the tv but the dvr remained on because it was plugged into the UPS. Should I plug the tv into the UPS because I need the tv on to watch tv if electric goes...

I did and now I think I am just noticing it now since its on a few blurays I own that fit the entire screen. IE: older titles from the early 90s where they have slightly thicker black side bars than the normal size when the screen ends... *Does any of this make sense? I mean like older films on...

I have all resolutions checked on. And the guide does change from a show in 720p to 1080i with all those resolutions checked.

Native On or Off is preference. I really see no difference except for when HD channels primarily show 1080i but the gist of their older shows are truly only in 720p resulting in seeing the end of the frame a little more on the right or left side as opposed to seeing it fit completely in 720p. I...

would having the native on just fix those issues I posted about tonight?

cbs and nbc seem to be 720p as all but 1 show in my testing tonight was on either channel.

I am more confused as to what is the best way to truly watch all the HD programming my set is capable of with directv. There is 720p and 1080i and I always thought if set was programmed in 1080i, 720p shows would still be in original format but those rare ones in 1080i would actually be in...

I know I post here a lot and I know this will be a series of questions but I am quite obsessive when it comes to my HD setup, as you are aware, and please humor me. My mother dropped the remote off the couch tonight. The key on top of the remote moved to tv and when she was trying to turn the...

Directv sent me out a replacement dvr in the HR 24 200 when I have had 500s. I was wondering what the differences were and if this is a downgrade? Directv tells me they have no say in the model sent to me from the warehouse and that there isn't a difference between the two.

I have had issues like this in the past and everything short of the actual dish was replaced. I ordered a ups online and I am having a replacement dvr sent out to me as well. Will keep you guys posted. I did find out that it was happening on 3 local hd channels live because a nother member of...

So if they haven't experienced relevant issues it's something on my end and directv forums are telling me electrical interference but now I have more to worry about as I am now paranoid episodes like that could damage my tv

I think I might be done with Directv! - YouTube Had that issue once before many months ago but it fixed itself. Now after just a routine dish alignment session with a case management tech for something unrelated, that happens tonight. I am calling Case Management tomorrow and the folks...

I have had quite a few irratic pauses or pixelating issues with directv over the last few months and they recently went away but then I got a decent issue just recently. I was told on directv's forum that it is probably a electrical interference and they have suggested a ups...

It rained hardcore today and lost signal for like 5 minutes on all tvs, but that was with like heavy rain this morning...so hard you can hear it hit the ground and radiate. I just wish it would slightly rain to see if this fixed anything.

Tech was super nice and informative, especially when they work for the case department. Dish was an 8th to the left so he realigned it and my readings on on setting went from mid 80s all around to all on that setting mid 90s.

I have a tech coming out this Thursday, will let you know how it goes...

thank you. I will call D* and set up an appt

So what's the process? Does a tech come out, realign and then just come in to look at the signal readings? Also, I know it isn't going to improve my tv now but will this slight change affect how strong my signal is at in inclement weather?

I only lose signal when there is cloud coverage, snow or even very light rain. I was told my readings aren't as good as they should be and since I have the protection plan to have Directv come out and realign the dish slightly. Here are the readings, should I schedule that appointment? 32 @...
