I apologize if this is a bad repetitive question, but I have not been able to find the answer with a quick search. I currently have 2 HD DVRs and I am planning on adding a new HD TV to my household. I like the idea of whole home functionality to connect all of my DVRs. Am I able to use my two...

Yesterday, I called and got free Superfan saving me a hundred bucks. I guess I could have pushed it for more discounts, but I'm glad I at least got something. Thanks for the heads up...

I'm not sure what you mean. But, the installer came out last weekend and installed the tripod on the roof with the new dish. The new dish IS really much bigger than the old one. the Tripod is pretty huge and ugly up on the roof, but it looks sturdy and I am getting a signal from all of the...

Jimbo/Raoul - thanks a bunch for your quick responses. There are unfortunately no options on my property to run a line and mount the dish on the ground. I am in a rather forested area and the only way I have found to get LOS to the satellites is a couple of feet above the top point on the roof...

Thanks everyone for your responses. Since I am in a heavily wooded area, I can't get a signal if I do not put the dish on my roof. In addition, with my current dish, it was put on a pole on the roof to raise it a couple of feet (not 10) so that it's line of sight was over the tree line...

Thanks for the response. I believe the current dish is mounted with a 2 inch diameter pole, but the new dish is much bigger and it will be on my roof, but it needs to be elevated a couple of feet from the normal height of the stand due to my tree line. My installer said that due to this, it...

Thanks for your response, but this does not seem realistic. If you are talking about a 2 inch pole, it will likely not be high enough to get the signal. If you are talking about a 2 FOOT pole, won't it cause a problem with the size of the new dish pulling off my roof?

I currently have an HD setup with the "old" dish and the HR10-250. Due to numerous trees in my area, my dish is mounted on a pole in order to get the HD signal. Last weekend I was scheduled to get the upgraded dish and the new HD-DVR. The installer came by and told me that the new larger dish...

A work colleague is interested in moving from the dark side and joining D*. He can get any DVR when he joins I would think...

Excuse my ignorance - I did a quick search and could not find anything. Is there a way to send recorded programs from one DVR to another? Wirelessly or through the internet? Thanks

I am a direct TV subscriber and I will probably continue to get the baseball package along with the basketball package and the football package. However, anyone that think that this deal is beneficial for them other than Direct TV employees must be smokin' some strong hashish. If there is...

Just a final update. Last weekend a Direct TV Service Person came to my house and replaced the multi-switch (again) and replaced the LNBs. I have not had trouble with any channels since that time. Also, due to the series of unfortunate events mentioned previously, they credited my account for...

I just wanted to post an update for what it is worth. I was scheduled for a service call on Saturday between 8 and 12. 12:00 came and went with no service provider. I called DirectTV and, of course, had trouble getting through because it was a Saturday. When I finally spoke with someone...

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I will try and get the service person to replace the LNBs when they come on Saturday morning. By the way, although I only have one HD television and most of the recent problems have related to the HD channels, I have also seen some issues with other channels...

I would appreciate any suggestions regarding my system. About 2 months ago I purchased an HD televison. At that time, I chose to upgrade to the HR10-250 (not having the patience to wait for the new DVR). I am experiencing a weird situation where some HD channels do not come in while others...

The fact remains that I was told by their employees May and then June and then July and then August. It appears that it will not be in my area until September, October or later. That is not on schedule or close to schedule in my book.

I'm sorry if you think I am busting on your company. I would defend my company to the hilt too. However, you have to understand people's frustrations. No one sent me the company's official DirectTV press release. My main source of information is when I speak to an employee of the company...

I don't know if this so-called release is late or early according to "official" comments by direct tv. However, I have called their service reps several times over the last six months. First, I was told it would be out by May-June. Then, I was told by July. Lately, I have been told by Fall...

Wait a second!!!! Sorry, but that is rationalizing if I've ever heard it. You can go to your local bar with satellite dishes and watch the games for free (maybe you will buy a few beers). Also, you can see all of the local games on network tv for free at home. Finally, you can't...

I just got the deal. I currently have ST and said the magic words that I was considering not renewing it. They did make me pay $99 for the Superfan and I needed to pay $49 for the off air antenna. but, the HR10-250 was free of charge. Thanks everyone for your help. By the way, the 1st...

You guys have the best information so you are probably right. However, I had a CSR tell me within the next month or two as well. I was told to hold off on getting the current HD-DVR since the new one would be available soon. If it won't be until early 2007, don't you think they would be...

Thanks Thanks for the response. I realize that the MPEG 4 DVR is coming out, though the promissed date seems to keep getting pushed back. Also, many on this site have said that there is concern that it will take a year to work out the bugs with the new box and MPEG 4 signals will not become...

I currently have Direct TV, but I am in the process of purchasing an HDTV. I realize that I will need to have a new dish installed to be able to receive HD TV. If I have 2 non-HD TV's and 1 HD TV, will I be able to use the same (new) dish to receive the standard definition signal for my...

thanks thanks

Sorry - still confused I'm sorry if I am a little slow, but, if the 5LNB dish won't get me any channels on the HR10-250, then how will I watch television? Will I need to get two receivers? What is the point of getting the HR10-250 at all if it won't work with the dish? Or are you saying...
