    RF Antenna for R-15 DVR

    Just wanted to document for the future searchers, that the only RF remote offered currently on DirecTV site (its a RC32RF ,with larger buttons), works with R15-500 out of the box. I used the RF remote antenna from a retired Dish box. Install anntenna into proper place. Then just follow the...

    lost 95 sat. Help?

    It happen to be a bad cable. Thanks to all who helped! My sincere excuses to the R15 receiver, which I groundlessly blamed for this malfunction.

    lost 95 sat. Help?

    There must be a concept of warranty. The whole installation is just 2 months old.

    lost 95 sat. Help?

    But there's a question of probability. 1 out of 1 million LNBs that has died "at any time" is quite different than "1 out of each 100" LNBs died. Thanks It means paying money? That sucks. And, oh, how much time I have already spent on all this R15 crap! Well, I will try to swap equipment...

    lost 95 sat. Help?

    Hello, here's the R-15 + 95 sat problem again :-( Badly need an advice.... (My initial story was "new customer with R15 wants 95W only" back in early January) Since 2 days ago I completely lost any reception from the international 95-sat. 101 is fine. Actually, it was the second time I lost...

    R-15 + International Dish Installation . Help Please

    Sorry, did not read your post properly. The only thing that comes to mind is the quality/length of the RG-6 cabling (and/or quality of the switch). DC-11 may be able to overcome the DC loss, which R-15 can not handle. Just 2 cents....

    new customer with R15 wants 95W only

    grydlok: I did run Autoconfig before posting the question. It did not help that time. After searching Internet for a while, I made it work, though. Here are the steps that led me to the success. I'm SURE that some of them are NOT NECESSARY. I just don't know which... 1. Antenna 66E...

    new customer with R15 wants 95W only

    I have installed my 101/95 combo dish (newer type, WorldDirect elliptic), and it's locked on 101 now. I have an unexpected problem, though. My D15 receiver apparently knows nothing about 95W satellite... It offers 3 dish types (round, oval 2LNB, oval 3LNB), but there is no 95W in any...

    new customer with R15 wants 95W only

    Thanks, it's all clear now. Getting all the stuff from ValueElectronics. Will try to set it up myself tomorrow. I have read about all these 95W problems, but still hope.

    new customer with R15 wants 95W only

    Oh, that's valuable info!!! Well, that means I need a switch. I already have a round dish pointed to 101 (got it with the house), and I'm getting feed from 101. Anyway, DirecTV's "international" dish is probably more logical to get in this case.... Does anybody know if it comes with a...

    new customer with R15 wants 95W only

    Dear Experts, I'd like to have a DVR (bought an R15 at BB, but probably can return it and get something else if necessary), with 2 inputs BOTH fed from 95W. I understand that a dual Linear LNB would be needed (I guess P2700KU ), but not sure how to buy one. Question: is FlexiPort...
