    DVR sticking when fast forwarding

    Help. I have two DVRs in my home. Both R15. They have both begun to stick when we try fast forward or skip. That is we hit either the fast forward or skip button (doesn't matter which) and it goes through about a commericial and a half then freezes. Has this been happening to others? We don't...

    x10 A/V transmitter system

    Anyone tried on of these? It is 2.4mhz and so are my phones (and possibly my router). Will this cause interference? I know there is a 5.8 system, but for a lot more money.

    Can I change receivers in my own house?

    Is one cable for locals and the other for the rest? I think I get both locals and others on the single cable upstairs.

    Can I change receivers in my own house?

    I don't do anything myself. LOL. I don't and never did have HD in any room. Why would they have two lines running in some of my rooms and not all?

    Can I change receivers in my own house?

    Can I change receivers in my own house? I have DVR in my living room and no DVR in my attic. I want to switch them because the attic room is warmer in the winter. What I have noticed is my DVR has to cables running into it where as my attic box has a single wire running into it. Anything I can do?

    Why is everything so blurrry?

    Didn't get too many responses in the TV forum, so I thought I would through it out here since I am running Direct through it. Just bought a Philips 32" LCD 32plf7332 I am not running HD, but still didn't expect the picture to be so fuzzy? Any controls I can manipulate to make it look like...

    How often do receivers update?

    Just got hooked up today. My guide doesn't seem to know some shows that are on tomorrow (blank for that time slot). How often does the system update to search for future show?

    Trouble with Snow outages?

    I live in Syracuse NY and the guys said they could only mount on the peek of my three story house. Will the fact that I can't get to my dish be a problem when it starts snowing mass amounts here? Also, any tips on placing my order? Any way to get 2 DVRs without paying the extra $100? Thanks for...

    Installing in-line signal amp

    Thanks. I heard (from bad sorce obviously) that it would give me a little boost. I have been getting constant 40 strength on my locals (very edge of fringe area) and when night comes, they go in and out every 10 seconds or so. I thought it might give it a little boost to maintain through the night.

    Installing in-line signal amp

    Obviously the part with the AC plug gets plugged into the wall and then screwed into the satellite in spot, then cable line in to that. My question is the other piece. Does it attach directly to my LNB, or at a break in my cable run? Also, I want to run this on my line that is picking up 110. Is...

    Are some LNBs stronger than others?

    I am on the Fringe of a spotbeam that carries Cleveland locals. At night the channels go in and out. Could I get a "stronger" LNB to get a little extra strength?
  23. J

    Could this be true?

    It seems as though I am getting better strength during daylight hours than at night. I am on the edge of a spotbeam getting about 40-50 strength. During the day I rarely lose any locals. However, when watching the same station at night, starting about 8:00 I lose signal for a second or two about...

    What does this mean?

    Satellite: 110 Channel: 7831 Transponder: 2591 I was looking up info on Youngstown OH locals and it gave me this. When I look at point dish screen I don't see transponders anywhere close to that number? Any help?
