    I know someone here knows how the streaming differs from satellite feed...does it defeat the purpose of moving? what is the source of "local" channels ... ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX? Thanks!

    If both the uplink facility and the receiver (customer) are under clear skies does the spotbeam shrink or reduced in intensity during daylight hours...say 4-6 points. Thanks.

    Pointing assistance - please!

    Using the take the receiver & tv up next to the dish. I take the line running from the 44 switch to the 129...disconnect the 129 dish and run the line to another dedicated dish. I thought if I did 611 and used 129 as the satellite I'd be able to seek or hunt for a 72.7 signal. But NO luck...

    2-H20-100s New Experience

    Just started a day or two ago. When you go to check signal strength you get (picture), which locks up the boxes and you have to do a RBR (red button reset) to un-lock the boxes. It appears to be the same software version that worked ok until a couple of days ago.

    RE: 213 - WEATI

    Anyone have any insight as to what this might be. I'm hoping that DISH is finally going to offer WEATHERSCAN nationwide. Especially since it is no longer offered by Comcast, Xfinity, or whatever they're calling themselves this week. Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

    RE: DISH v. Directv - Signal level

    With DISH if you're on a channel you can hit menu 6-1-1 and it will display the signal strength of the channel, as well as, the sat and transponder. Is there a similar way to test a Directv channel.

    Smart Pack?

    Am I correct that the Smart Pack doesn't include any HD channels? Would the locals still be received in HD? Would you have to downgrade your dvr and receiver to sd receivers? Are there any other economy packages available to existing subs.

    External hard drives?

    Are there any of the dtv receivers / dvr's that allow the addition of an external hard drive similar to DISH. Also, a couple of questions concerning equipment charges on a new account...1st hd receiver is free but there is a $10 monthly hd reception fee...the 2nd hd receiver would add $6 to...

    "LIVE" time-delay inquiry

    I'm certain that someone in this forum knows the answer to this. In comparing Directv, DISH, and Comcast I recently noticed that the same MLB game on Directv was 5-10 seconds ahead of the DISH feed and up to 15 seconds ahead of the same feed on Comcast. Is this the result of signal processing...
