    Multi TV's on one receiver

    I was in a similar situation. I have one TV on the main floor and two in the basement. I live alone and am cheap so I went with one 211k receiver. The TV on the main floor is hooked up to the HDMI output and then I have coax with a 2 way splitter running to the two TV's in the basement. Works...

    110/119/129 using DPP 500 and old Dish 300?

    Thanks for the help guys. All the old Dish stuff I have are legacy lnb's. I'll see how much it cost to get a DP lnb vs a 1000.2 dish and go from there. One other question. Is there any cheap signal meter worth using to line the dish up? In the past I have always been in apartments where I...

    110/119/129 using DPP 500 and old Dish 300?

    Unless you want to order PPV via the remote, there is really no reason to plug the reciever into the phone jack. Something to think about before you spend $30-$50 on a wireless phone jack.

    DTV DVR Season Pass

    If the actual guide list the show as starting X number of minutes early and/or ending Y number of minutes late, then the Tivo will figure this out and record those extra minutes. If the guide shows the show going from 8pm - 9pm then that's all Tivo will record unless you pad the start and stop...

    My R10 has a "mind of it's own"...

    So instead of thinking you are gay, your Tivo thinks you are a senior citizen. Interesting.

    Directv questions from Dish sub

    Robert, got a few questions. I am also considering switching from Dish to DTV. I'm thinking of getting a two room DTV DVR (Tivo) system with the Phase III dish and the Total Choice Plus programming package with locals. 1. Does the free installation include running dual lines for both DVR's...
