    Questions on my upgrade to HD

    So that means with only one coax line I can watch one program on live tv and can record another at the same time? With 2 coax lines I could record 2 programs at the same time while watching another? I'm a bit confused because some research I've done says you can only record what you are...

    Questions on my upgrade to HD

    Thank you all for your replies! I have two more questions that I need some help on: 1.) Does the HD-DVR require 2 coax runs from the multi-switch? I only have one coax run right now for my standard receiver. Does the regular HD receiver without DVR require only 1 coax run? 2.) Can a...

From what I recall, you need a special cascadable multiswitch in addition to the built-in multiswitch in order to get...

    Triple LNB no Local channels?

    Thanks for the answers guys. Yes, they will be Sioux Falls channels so it looks like I need a second dish. So the last question I have is if I order a system online that only includes one dish (the triple LNB), will the installer already know that he needs to bring a second dish to install...

    Triple LNB no Local channels?

    I thought the elliptical, 3 LNB dish was a "multi-satellite" dish and could get all the channels, including the local channels?

    Triple LNB no Local channels?

    Hello all, I've been browsing these boards for a while and thought it was time to make my first post. I am a cable user looking into switching to directv, strictly for the NFL sunday ticket. I wanted to do the installation myself, and am capable, but it seems like directv just doesn't let...
