I have MPEG4 service at my second place in the mountains but no DVR. Now that they've added the new channels, if I sign up at my primary home in S. Florida and get the HD DVR, can I just take it with me and use it when I'm at the second home in the mountains? If so, what changes do I have to...

I've searched the board for a couple hours now and can't find the old post I'm seeking. Maybe somebody can just answer my question. A little over a year ago someone posted some tier two tech support phone numbers. I think one was for general tech issues and the other was for HD related...

In an over-abundance of caution, I pulled the sat coax line Sunday evening but left the OTA coax running to the box. I noticed last night that even though the sat coax is disconnected the PG was fully updated and accurate. How can that be? Of course, I'm not getting any of the Voom channels...

Live in West Palm and lost power for 64 hours. I'm one of the lucky few who have power back so I reinstalled my dish and OTA antenna yesterday. System worked fine yesterday. Ever since 6.20 came out it has shown I'm targeted for it but it never downloaded on its own. Just turned it on and it...

I am surprised not to find one single post about Lucinda on Sound Stage. She has been around forever and a day - both in writing some major hits for other performers and her own performances. I've been going to concerts since the late 60's and honestly enjoy Lucinda's shows more than most. Of...

Maybe this should be in the installs thread, but I didn't want it to get buried. Note from this post of today that Joe Harkins is apparently alive, well, and still directly handling installation snafus? http://www.satelliteguys.us/showpost.php?p=137488&postcount=78

I haven't seen this aspect of rain fade discussed previously. Possibly because it's B.S. Live in South Florida and we're now into the rainy season. I sometimes survive a slight drizzle. Not particularly hard storms cause freezes and macroblocks that usually last off-and-on for five minutes or...

I can't find a thread on this - and can't find the answer on Zap2it's homepage, so.... Where can I find an explanation of their movie rating system? For instance, a movie might have a NR**+, or AO, or PG-13**. The NR, PG, etc. is obvious. But what do the "**+" and similar symbols represent?

I live in a townhouse so have to do weird things to abide by FCC rules on antennas not over one meter. Now that you're convinced I'm not totally nuts, to my question. I originally was using a Silver Sensor inside with a CM preamp. Signal strength OK for some - not so great for others. I...

I asked a similar question a week or so ago and didn't get what I'm trying to understand. I realize including integrated tuners is because of the government more than it is a decision by the manufacturers. But, since everything but OTA signals requires a STB, why would I want to purchase (and...

Now that I have your attention.... Picked up a Silver Sensor today in anticipation of a Monday install. Embroiled in a fight with the condo commandos over erecting a very modest outdoor mast and antenna. (I will win that fight - FCC is on my side). In the meantime, thought I'd see what the SS...

I'm waiting on the new Sammy's. Appears that the Tantus models to come out in Sept/Oct. will have integrated tuners. Given the way most everyone currently receives sat/ota signals, i.e. through a proprietary STB, is there a current value to the FCC mandated incorporation of integrated tuners? Or...

Maybe I'm out of the loop, but I just saw an ad for Voom on CNN. I haven't seen that before on a major network. Maybe the push has begun?

I can't believe I can't find the answer anywhere online. I've searched these forums and both Winegard's and Channel Master's sites. So, I'll ask my stupid question here. I'll try the Stealth at the time of the initial install. If that doesn't work, I'll probably try the Square Shooter from...

Since I live in Florida, I might as well address the rain fade issue at the time of my initial install. I does tend to rain here. A lot. Anyway, I've got a couple questions about dish location and size. We're planning on installing very close to the outdoor A/C compressor. I mean right next...
