    Guys, I just signed up for whole home DVR installation. Install date is 9/18. DTV said my receivers, dish, and swm are compatible. Anything else I need to have setup before the installer arrives? Any and all help is appreciated.

    Original 5 LNB with Sidecar and SWM

    Sorry for being unclear. I want to replace the H20 HD Receiver with a DVR (Running two cables there is not an option). I'll move the old H20 to another tv and get one more HD receiver. I wanted to Swim to be able so I wouldn't have to run more cable. Am I on the right track?

    Original 5 LNB with Sidecar and SWM

    I have a rather basic install without the WB68. Just four direct runs (3 used). I have the H20 HD Receiver, and old RCA, and I believe a D11. I know I need to upgrade two of the three receivers for the SWM. I have three tv's now and will add a fourth in the next 6 months. Can you tell me...

    Original 5 LNB with Sidecar and SWM

    Guys, Pardon the newbie question, I have the original 5LNB dish with the sidecar. Can I update with a SWM?. Saw mention of a SWM-8 that says it will work with my current dish on a website. Thanks for the help

    New HD offerings and Directv 7s (119)

    Was wondering if anyone thinks they will move the current HD offerings on Directv 7s 119 degrees to the new satellites? I have LOS issues with 119 and would be all for it. The OTA Networks I am not interested in since I get the locals anyway in HD Any info or opinions are appreciated.

    This Sucks...Need Advice

    I used 1-800-Sat-Pros. They are in Whitehouse Station, NJ. They came out and did the install after the DirecTech guy said he couldn't do it. It cost me a pretty penny but the guy was knowledgeable and it took about 4 hours to take my old dish off a pole mount and put up the AT-9 5 LNB...

    Installers in Morris County NJ

    I was wondering if there are any independent DTV installers in Morris County, NJ. The vendor for my area is Direct Tech and they are at best incompetent and secondly they don't want to do anything custom which my job would require. i.e. Pole Mount for new AT9 or slimline dish when it becomes...

    Skyboss, So are you saying the National HD channels currently on 119 will move to the new sats going up in 2007? I have LOS with 119 and that move would be fine with me

    Directv vs Verizon FIOS Offer

    Guys thanks for the chatter. I thought I'd just mention the Directv vs. Verizon issue as food for thought. I am a DTV subscriber since fall 99 and have had NFLST ever since. That is the only reason I have Directv. An added + is I no longer deal with Cablevision here which was nothing...

    Directv vs Verizon FIOS Offer

    Verizon is looking to add a franchise in my community sometime next year. Franchise vote is June 9th and I can't see it being voted down since my area is poorly served by Cablevision. My question is side by side what is better? DTV has Sunday Ticket, that is all I can see. Verizon can...

    NFL Superfan

    Thanks for the information guys. I too believe it is a farce to tack another $99 surcharge onto Sunday Ticket. However they hold the keys to the product and they will try to make money anyway they can....i.e Lease program, piss poor customer service, don't even get me started on the new...

    NFL Superfan

    Any tricks on getting a discount on this for the fall. I was not a subscriber last year so I don't have the $49 - $99 credits those of you got for being 1st timers. Any advice anyone can give is appreciated. I am about to make the HD plunge and want to save where I can. Thank you.

    Directv HD Plans (D9S, D10, D11)

    This may have been asked before but I cannot find in the archives so I apologize for any redundancy When DTV Launches its new satellites in 2007 (D10 @ 103 and D11 @ 99) will the HD Channels currently being broadcast from 119 (ESPN2GHD, Discovery HD Theater, HDNET, the New York Locals, and...

    Directv 119 degrees

    Thanks for the update guys. If NFL Sunday Ticket goes out for bid in the near future and DTV loses its hold on it I'm probably gone. Otherwise I have to move somewhere where my dish will have excellent LOS. I told that to my wife and she gave me a dirty look

    Directv 119 degrees

    Trees are huge. Not sure if that (20 - 30 feet) would even clear the two large trees in my front yard. I cannot even wrap my arms around the base of these trees. Also, the installer six years ago chose the pole route for that reason. Now we are talking six years later and the trees have...

    Directv 119 degrees

    My location is New Jersey. Zip code is 07960. My dish is pole mounted. Houses in the neighborhood are over 20 years old and trees are large and lush. The dish sits in a natural area in the front of my house, really the only place where I can get reception. I only have the system for the NFL...

    Directv 119 degrees

    I'm a newbie on this site so forgive me if this question has been asked already. Because of trees in my neighborhood, I cannot link to the 119 degree satellite. An installer in town (not DirectTech so I think he knows what he is talking about) said that the HD channels currently broadcasting...
