After over 6 resets and a few unplugs my HR21 still is locked up. Guess I need a new unit. How could their reboot totally screw up a 3 month old HR21?

I have two TV's and one DVD recorder hooked up feeding all three at the same time from the DVR. HDMI is connected to the living room HDTV, component and audio cables to the game room HDTV and Svideo and audio feeding the DVD recorder. Of course you can only select one channel. The bedroom...

We switched to Verizon about 18 months ago. All the major city reviews except one gave Verizon number one spot for customer satisfaction. I think Chicago had them number 2. I have been very happy with the service and my VX 8600 with GPS has been my best phone ever. We went to Nevada this...

DirectTV 11 - Orbit Data This site is updated often to see the progress of D11.

D11 is now averaging 97 miles per day of western drift. If they don't change anything that will make it 20 days to get back to 99.25 west longitude. The oscillation between central south america and just off shore in the Pacific is due to the changing altitude as it orbits.

I thought about what you said and you may be right about the HR20 not having to be set to 480i output. We set up the DVD recorder with the HR10 250 which will not output the SD 480i video when using the 1080i signal for your TV. When we got the HR20 100 I was already in the habit of switching...

All of my channels are recordable to DVD. You have to output your satellite receiver to 480i and you should be able to record any channel. DVD's now available only record SD 480i outputs. Soon they will probably have HD recording DVD's. My wife has DVD'd hundreds of satellite movies but if...

Loganbay is correct. The devices above will not connect the dish to the receiver. Seems like someone would make one because of the demand. They won't be under 100 dollars though.:(

I bought a component and audio cable to run from my receiver in the living room about 20 ft to the downstairs game room TV. It seems to be what you would want only a little longer. It gives you all five hook ups without having to solder connectors on RG6. I am not sure if the impedence of RG6...

Even the continental coverage is beamed at the US only so don't think you will get anything down there. Maybe the Central American coverage will give English channels like we have Latin channels.

I assume all dishes are exactly the same and someone at 48N and someone down in southern Fl or Central America would use the same dish with straight line alignment across the satellite field. The northern dishes would be receiving the satellites in an arc, not straight line like close to the...

Alignment of DIRECTV Ka/Ku Satellite Dish This alignment procedure for 5LNB explains the wider arc of satellites that need to be accurately aligned because of the sharper KA peak and why 101 and 119 need to be used to make sure all will be at optimum.

Good, that will work well with the Harmony universal remote and fix the problem. Thanks

I tried to make a favorites HD only custom 1 guide to easily browse the HD channels and it worked but then I could not get it back to all channels so my wife could browse pay per views, etc. I tried pressing guide several times and menu but could not get "all channels" on guide until I deleted...

I did the same thing, put HD channels in custom1, but lost "all channels". The only way I got it back was using the menu to delete the custom1 guide. Now I get everything again so until I can fix the custom guide problem I click guide twice, page down to HD then brouse HD stations. If you...

Fuj, If tuner 2 doesn't receive anything and all cables are connected properly to 1 and 2 switch them. If tuner 2 still doesn't work problem is in #2 receiver tuner. If #1 tuner now doesn't work the problem is dish or cable fault.

Yamaha receiver must have subwoofer gain at max to do that. Maybe you have a bad digital audio line from sat to receiver and compensated by increasing receiver subwoofer output. Yamaha subwoofer needs to be set in menu so it knows it has one for the LFE.

Plug the HDMI cable directly into the TV, don't use the amp. That is what I had to do. You may have already done it but HDMI and amps don't work well because they talk both ways and cause reboots, etc.

Yes, HDMI is a problem connecting through an AV receiver. About three months ago I bought a new Yamaha amp with HDMI inputs and outputs and within a week lost all of the recordings on the new HR20 satellite receiver. Also lost all the programming for recording future programs. Soon found out...

A high gain amp will increase your signal from the antenna to the TV. I have one from my attic antenna 60 miles from the transmitters. If you want to feed several devices you may need to use an amplifier to not lose the signal because of the multiple loads. This amp doesn't normally amplify...

I just replaced my amp with the RX-V661 yesterday. I unplugged all power while cleaning up all of the cables in my entertainment system. When I plugged everything back in I found my entire HR20 100 hard drive erased of programming. I had the HDMI plugged connecting the two. Could that have...

I thought the June 8th Atlantis shuttle was putting up the next DTV satellite.

I live 60 miles from the main antennas at Miami. Channels 7 and 10 use VHF for both their analog and digital HD transmitters. Analog puts out 320KW and the digital transmitters put out 16KW in the same frequency range. That is why everyone complains about the HD OTA coverage here. I don't...

Thanks a lot. Now I can't find my remote!

Download Google Earth, zoom to your location, click navigation, click the N button, True north is straight up. If you click the tools and measure box you can use that box for alignment to exact N,S,E,W. The N button just realigns true north again. If that sounds too hard go outside on a...
