About two weeks ago we woke to the hard drive reformatting which in hence wiped all the recordings, we thought eh maybe was just a burp or something with a recent firmware update or something. Since then while in playback from recordings the playback would stall/freeze for 5-10 seconds then...

We have a Hopper with Sling that when we go to play back a recording from DVR it only displays a black screen, then when we go to return to live programming it stays on black screen for about 10 seconds then the picture comes back. We have rebooted the Hopper to see if it would resolve the...

Anyone added cooling fans under their Hoppers similar to those that some of us place under laptops? I'm running a pair of Hoppers and want to maximize cooling ahead of the hot summer months :cool:

I was watching Military Channel last night and this caught my eye, anything new or is it possible?

Friends,over this week,the wife(CFO) and I have been discussing the upgrade to a Hopper with 2 joeys from our main 722K(split between the main room and one bedroom) and the 612 DVR for my son's room. Our boys don't DVR their 612 that much but our 722K stays busy on average but never really get...

About 2 weeks ago I woke to the led's were dim on the front of the HR21-100 and the center blue circle is going clockwise like it's booting up but it's not. I get the hard disk error on the screen. I've done the reset button to reset the unit and also unplugged the power for a few hours...

In our 8 year old multiunit community a contractor is installing 2 dishes on each building which will serve all the leasing tenants (about 20 per building) with new electronics and would like to post pics of the old (SD) Directv distribution gear and the all new HD electronics gear. Would the...

Anyone else experiencing issues with their HR20 and HR21 receivers today? My remote wouldn't turn on the receiver and the on/off button wouldn't turn the receiver on either,had to unplug the power cord in order to reset the receiver. My FIL's HR20 and SIL's HR20 is also having the same...

I'm working on tweaking the slimline some and wanted to know which transponder is best for tuning on the 103 satellite? I'm getting the 771 searching for satellite message on the Phoenix Locals which I need to clear. All other channels come in fine. Are the Phoenix locals spot beamed or conus...

I have a question about how durable the Slimline AU9 dish is for I purchased one locally thru a distributor,the dish has a slight/moderate bend on one end,will this effect performance to receive all 5 satellites as designed,should I return it for exchange or take a shot and mount it? :confused...

My father in law came to find out that he was billed an extra receiver(monthly) for over a year after Directv upgraded his receiver from the HR10 to the HR20. Is it possible for him to get his account credited for the ghost receiver or does Directv just tell him "tough luck,snooze you lose...

I looked around a couple internet sites with no success and was curious to which satellite/s carries the Phoenix locals in SD and HD? Thanks!

After much reading I've decided to take it upon myself to install the slimline AU9S dish myself. I'm aware that it is a 5 lnb antenna which requires a more precise adjustment procedure to get the signals at their peak capability. I'd like to know if the basic satellite signal meter(the single...

I have a couple older receivers that I was going to give to the inlaws that has Directv to use for additional TV sets. They are the Sat B50 models,will they work or do they have to purchase newer models,if so they're looking for used non-DVR units that might do HD. What's the procedure to add...

In the past week our VIP722 receiver has exhibited signal loss from the satellites,mind you this is during the day or night and on any of the 3 satellites:mad: I've checked the signal levels on all 3 birds,great signal on each as it was installed in January no change. Has anyone else...

Very recently maybe within the last week several of my SD channels now display as "partial zoom" on both output 1 (HD set) and output 2 (standard TV set). This "partial zoom" is emanating from the ViP722 receiver which causes the channels to be stretched out beyond the screens capabilities...

Getting the 1000.2 to recognize 61.5 thru a 500 trouble Since I had an extra Dish 500(DP) I decided to set it up to point at the 61.5 which was done successfully. I then ran a feed from the 500's 119 output to the "lnb in" on the 1000.2 antenna. Now how do I get the 1000.2 to recognize that...
