    DirecTV Genie upgrade question...

    I'm a long time DTV customer, but still stuck with 10-year old, obselete equipment. I currently have an H20 HD receiver and several old D10's around the house, with a Slimline dish on my roof (no idea which model) I'm looking to upgrade to their Genie service. While talking to a DTV rep, they...

    Any experience with the IceZapper® dish heater?

    I have a 5LNB Slimline mounted on the roof of my two story house. Getting to it requires two ladders (ground to porch, then porch to roof). Needless to say, clearing ice & snow is a chore, not to mention dangerous given the conditions. I've seen all kinds of suggestions here, ranging from dish...

    H23-600 - random reboots?

    I have a newer H23-600 that's randomly rebooted on me two or three times in as many months, for no apparent reason. AFAIK, all I did was change channels when the screen went blank and up came the "your receiver is starting up" message. I wonder... Is there by any chance there's some key...

    H21-100 - what a POS

    H21-100 - what a POS. I had an H20 till about 2 months ago, when I had it swapped out due to its constant resetting to a blank guide (all channels would appear as 0-0 every morning). They sent a new (or rather refurbed) H21 via FedEx, and it only took a call to swap it out. What a mistake...

    mast question - want to relocate my DTV dish

    KA/KU Pole Mount I want to relocate my AT-9 KaKu 5-LNB dish. It's currently mounted on the roof of my 2-story house. I was never a big fan of locating it there because of high winds in this area, but at the time the installer said that was the best place. Oh well, live and learn -...

    DVR's, once recorded, then what?

    I'm considering upgrading to DirecTV's DVR service... I know I'll have to go out and purchase a new reciever and pay the add'l $5 a month or whatever it is, but my question is this.... Once I do this, and start recording programs, can I retrieve the recordings or access them via a PC in some...

    How can I use "Split-screen"?

    TV is a new Sony Wega 42" LCD, and I'm new to DirecTV... One of the features I was really looking forward to was the set's split-screen capability... It worked like a charm when it was still connected to cable, but now with DirecTV - since the TV is set to channel 3, that feature is now...

    NFL Sunday Ticket question...

    I ordered the NFL Sunday Ticket package a couple of weeks ago, and even already paid for it... dumb question alert...! So far none of the channels appear on my Channel Guide (700-718) Will they just magically appear when the season starts? (I've already printed out the ST schedule...) TIA

    DirecTV picture not as good as expected...

    I've just invested in a 42" Sony Wega LCD, and a Sony 6.1 Home Theater system. Wanting to get the most out of it, I also just bought the DirecTV service. After having it installed for a few days now, I have to say I'm not completely happy with the picture quality from the dish. DVD's are...
