How does one get the D11? Can I just call D* and have them send me one and I send my D10 back? Is there a charge for this?

Here's a dumb question: If I'm running a D10, how do I eventually upgrade to the D11, since I'll be getting a 5 LNB once I move into a house...?

As a lot of you know, I recent got D* and I am lovin' it! However, I noticed that my R10 is running on 6.1 and I know that there is a 6.2 out there. My DirecTivo has yet to download it. Will it ever upgrade, or am I stuck w/ 6.1?

Update: I called and talked to a Circuit City manager and he was very hesitant to let me return the box to them. I'm supposed to hear back later today...this is becoming more of a problem than it EVER should have been

Honestly, I don't have a good answer as to the solution. With tech support on the phone, we ran through the auto setup about 3 times on each receiver. On the last try, the DVR picked up all my national and locals. Update, however, is that my bedroom receiver lost my locals again. I think...

Just wanted to say "Thanks" to all your help. As of 10:30pm last night, I finally got both of my receivers to work correctly and find my D* and local channels. If it weren't for the help I got on the board, I don't know what I'd do. Thanks!! :)

These guys were the owners. Contractors out of Circuit City. They can't really fix the problem. Getting ready to head down to Home Depot and get my equipment and run the feed. Now my DVR doesn't see the 72.5 sat at all, so my guess is my cable just isn't up to snuff. Time to get RG6

charper1, The only reason I signed off on the install was because they had done all they could. Since my apartment is pretty distant from where the dish was installed, we ran everything we could. The only step that wasn't tried was to re-run all the wires, and I did have to get back to...

Can't run new line as this is an apartment. I really think its the RG59, because we were getting signal from one line, then the other, but not both simultaneously. Plus, right before I left and came back to work (where I'm at now), I ran the setup and it didn't find the 72.5 on EITHER tuner...

Will the RG6 carry the signal well enough that I can get my locals and everything else?

The satellite installers just left my apartment, and I've got a problem. My bedroom receiver gets all the channels, no problems. My DVR box, however, is in the front of my apartment, and the coaxial I have run to it is across the room from one jack, but at the other end of my apartment for the...

Is there a way to tell if its a stacked system? The way it appears at the terminal box where all the cable comes in, it doesn't look like a stacked system. In fact, the way it looks, each apartment's main cable input comes into the one box, and then goes through a pipe chase to the apartment...

Ok...here's another question then...Can I combine a multiswitch signal at the dish using a diplexer, then have another multiswitch split the signal back inside the apartment? In theory, that should work, since the original multiswitch will combine the signal, and the switch inside will separate...

I just had the D* installers come out and they told me I can't use the dual tuner on my DVR because you can't split the signal. I'm installing in an apartment complex and they're using the existing wiring in the apartment. I've read that if I diplexer is used, you can split the signal. Am I...

That sounds good to me. Gibbs, my apartment complex lets us install satellite dishes as long as they don't get installed on the building itself. There are already 2 D* dishes on our building on a side that gets ZERO wind (we're a one-level complex) and a perfect view south, so there...

I honestly have NO idea what kind of cable is actually in the building. I'm pretty sure its RG6, because someone else in my building has D* already. I got the Total Choice package. I'm currently too poor to handle anything better at this point. I'm hoping that this change from Comcast...

I just recently purchased DirecTV and its scheduled to be installed on Thursday (switching from Comcast). I have a couple of questions. 1) Cable isn't scheduled to be shut off until a week from today, 10/4/05. Will the cable signal interfere w/ my satellite reception inside? I am in an...

Where do you install the Diplexers? The way it appears, my cable access is at another end of the building at the main junction box. Do the diplexers go at the junction box or can I cheat and install them in the wall near one of my cable jacks?

I'm a newbie at this, so bear with me. I currently live in an apartment complex and want to drop Comcast and get DirecTV. I currently have Comcast Cable internet and plan to keep that. I've read that DirecTV and Cable Internet do not play well together on the same wiring. Is there a way to...
