    MRV - Do it yourself?

    Why won't DirecTV allow me to install this myself? According to the Customer Retention rep, all that happens is the multiswitch is replaced, my receivers are upgraded, and 1 line goes into my DVRs instead of 2. I don't trust their installers, as we've NEVER had a good experience and would...

    Wall Mount HD Receiver

    I mounted our 32" TV in our bedroom, and my wife would like me to mount the receiver directly under the TV (getting it out of site is not an option, as she can't stand how slow the RF remotes are on the HD receivers OR the HD DVRs). Does anyone know of a mount that can be used that does NOT...

    HR22 sounds like it's ALWAYS running

    We have 2 HR22's. One is quiet as quiet can be.... even when on. The other, on or off, always sounds like it is running.. it has a low hum to it all the time. It happens to be right by my desk so I can hear it but is there a reason to this? I took the ethernet cable out thinking that may be...

    b-band converters (I'm an idiot)

    Im painting my master bedroom and office. I box up everything (TVs and receivers) in some boxes I had, and paint away. Yesterday, I'm moving stuff back into the room. I set them where they are going to go, and start moving the rest of the stuff. In the meantime, my wife, thinking she's being...

    HR22 Power Cord....

    We were redoing the family room today, and I misplaced the power cord of my HR 22. I have a bundle of the 3 prong power cords (3 prong on both ends) that my H21s use, but I do not have another 2 prong into the receiver, 3 prong into the wall obviously, power cords. Anyone know where I can...

    Slimline dish to bring tailgating

    Currently, we bring our 3LNB dish mounted to a wood stand I built to football games for tailgating along with 1 HD receiver and a 19" LCD tv. We're able to receive HD off channels 80/82/86/88 for the networks, and a few other HD channels using that. We'd like to get a slimline dish for...

    Wall mounting LCD.. What to do with the H20?

    One of my projects for the week off is to mount my 32" LCD HDTV.. but what do I do with the H20? Where do I put it? It's a 2nd floor mount, so putting it in the basement is not an option, and I really do not want to put it in the attic as it gets hot... Also, the RF does not work on the H20...

    HR20-100 SLOW channel changing

    We got an HR20-100 on 9/24. We noticed right away it took a smidge longer to change ch annels than it did before with our H20. I mean 3 seconds compared to 2. We figured it was that the DVR tapes what you are watching for instant replay. When you switched the ch annel, it would be all grey...

    HR20-100 1080i chopping on HD?

    I was downstairs where I have a Toshiba rear projection TV with a HR20-100 set up. Watching ABC HD. In the right bottom corner, I see "ABC H" with the D chopped off. I come upstairs where I have an H20-600 into a Vizio 42" 1080p via HDMI and the entire ABC HD shows and some space after the...

    Adding new RG6 runs to existing house

    Currently, since we have DirecTV 3 LNB dish, I have my cable modem and satellite running into my home office on 1 line via a diplexer. With the 5lnb dish, that's not possible anymore, so I was going to run a new line to the office. At the same time, I was going to run an additional line to the...

    Install help... Tough one

    Ok, the install is simple. New construction, wired for digitial cable with all "home run" loops, as far as I was told. Digitial cable works. I hooked up the dish, and ran the RG6 to the garage, where the panel is to go to each room of the house. I put a reciever out there and a small TV...

    Installing on the ground...

    We're buying a second home, and we'd like to have D* there as well. I spoke with the condo association, and they asked if we'd install it on the ground. Is this possible? Getting a signal from the ground is not an issue... plenty of clearance ... I was just wondering if it's possible to...

    H20 won't turn on!?

    I've had it for about 8 months now. It's been perfect. I used it last night, without problems, and turned it off around 11:30 pm Eastern. I went back downstairs this morning around 9 am Eastern, and it's dead. Usually, when the H20 is off, there is a little red light in the power button...

    Picture problem, 1 box only.. need your help

    We have 4 boxes, and have had them set up for a couple years this way. 3 are still working perfectly, and the D10 I have in this room is not. We have a 3 LNB dish, and this box is on a diplexer with a cable modem (and has been since we moved here 5 yrs ago). About 4 weeks ago, we started...

    MPEG4, 5LNB and Diplexing

    As you guys can see, I'm looking into upgrading. I have 2 H20s, and 2 D10s. In one of the rooms with a D10, I have the line diplexed with my cable modem running on it. I know diplexing is a no-no with MPEG4. However, since I have no intention of putting an HDTV in here anytime soon, is...

    NYC area - Why upgrade to 5 lnb?

    I have H20s in 2 rooms, because D* upgraded my one HD receiver for free, and I took them up on their free H20 before 3/1/06 (cost 200 then 200 rebate). However, I never upgraded the dish, because when he came he said the snow would make it tough to do (made sense to me). I currently have 1...

    New SNY "Channel Not Purchased" on my receiver

    I have TC+, and I do not have the sportspak, but I live in the NY area and do purchase my locals from DirecTV. MSG (621), YES (622) and FSNY (624) all work perfectly, but SNY does not. Anyone know why? I shouldn't need sportspak for this.

    H20 HDMI Cable Hookup.. What cable is best?

    I was going to purchase an HDMI cable to use with my H20 (H20 did not come with one, the installer said). When I shop for them, I see varying prices from 22.00 to 99.99. Is there a difference? What do you recommend?

    h20 owners - is there a way to modify channel selection when typing the #?

    I do not have the 5LNB dish yet as the installer said it's not really necessary (since he's aiming at "nothing" anyway since they do not pick up yet) to install the 5LNB dish coupled with the snow on the roof from last night. They did install my H20, and it's a very nice receiver. The ONLY...

    6x8 multiswitch.. take the place of diplexing?

    What are the other 2 inputs designed to accept on the 6x8 multiswitch? If it is OTA or Cable, what do you need to use on the other end to separate the signals?
