    Line of Sight Question

    I'd be afraid to have my dish exposed to the public on a passing street. Depending on where you live, it may be a target for vandalism. Just my $0.02

    Searching for Sat. Signal, not all channels

    Ok, I will end this thread by relaying what the problem was now that it was fixed. Those of you who said connector issues were right. I took apart the connections, starting with the feed right out of the satellite. The 13V IIRC side, had a stinger that was not long enough to be making a...

    Searching for Sat. Signal, not all channels

    Ok, so I have two options to consider, didn't get to it last night. The tree isn't an option, it's my neighbors :P

    Searching for Sat. Signal, not all channels

    Heh, I think I could do a better job myself :) I may give it a go myself since I don't feel like waiting. I'm sure it can be frustrating and tedious, but I'm used to that with other electronic devices I have worked on. Hard for me to believe an alignment issue would cause certain channels...

    Remote Codes

    Thanks, I see some codes I haven't tried. I also forgot that it could be a Philips-Magnavox even though it say Magnavox on the front. This is not critical, but it sure is nice to push the off button on a remote when you are in bed and want to shut the TV off. I suppose I could set the TV...

    Searching for Sat. Signal, not all channels

    So if I am pointed ata transponder that is not a part of my local channel package, it could cause issues ? Can't tell you right now, I'm at work but I will check into that also. I could call the tech out, but to be kind, he is pretty green, he said he had only been on the job about a month...

    Searching for Sat. Signal, not all channels

    I don't believe the transponder signals go from 0 to ok from odd to even. By ok I mean that vast majority of them in the 80+ range, there are something like 32 found in my system. I'll check all of the connections outside, hopefully this will be an easy fix. Strange to me why a possible...

    Remote Codes

    Anyone know of any other places to find codes for TV's for the Directv remote. Can't get mine to work yet. It's an old Magnavox model, if needed, I will look for the model. I'm guessing its from the mid 90's. All of the provided codes didn't work, and the code search was annoying, I tried...

    Searching for Sat. Signal, not all channels

    Response I assume loose connections outside the house. Anywhere in particular to look? I have checked all of the inside connections already, and the same issue on all 4 boxes seems like an outside signal input issue to me. I'm not sure what the switch looks like, I assume a multi wire...

    Searching for Sat. Signal, not all channels

    I'm sure this has been posted before, but I couldn't find anything in the previous posts. Help a newbie out :) Just got my DirecTV, fairly happy, but have some issues. I get 'searching for signal' on only certain channels that I have subscribed to, but not on all channels. I have checked...
