    Pioneer Adds Two Elite Receivers to 2013 Lineup

    I normally go with Pioneer however my last experience was not a good one. These seem to match up well with the Denon X series although you get Audyssey MultEQ XT32 and 9.2 pre outs for expansion for around the same price. Looks like you get more juice though with the Pioneer. Worth checking...

    Denon Debuts 4 New IN-Command Home Theater Receivers

    I just saw these today, at first they look like a budget line but they are really nice. The cream of the crop of the Denon receivers is still the 4520CI. The 4520 weighs a lot more and has processing for 11 speakers. What I find odd is the X4000 seems to have same outputs to an internal amp...

    Well D* was here. He said the dish was a little loose. He changed the LNB and added an additional bracket for support.

    Dish keeps going out with the rain, boxes reboot

    No they said they would but I didnt think it was the boxes. Why would they only do that in heavy rain? Seems to me it would be all the time If it was the boxes. I guess its worth a try but I think its something going on with wiring/dish like others posted. Unless.. the boxes themselves...

    Dish keeps going out with the rain, boxes reboot

    This is what I am saying, I am not complaining about losing the signal, I am complainging about the boxes shutting off which by the time they come back up the signal would have been back. I will get the contractor's company when they come out. Everyone has told me my signals I posted are good...

    Dish keeps going out with the rain, boxes reboot

    I only have 2 tuners (2 HR-21's) I do not get rain fade, I get complete lose of signal and both DVRs reset after a brief lose of signal message. There is no way to protect the multiswitch?

    Dish keeps going out with the rain, boxes reboot

    I got retention on the phone and they are sending someone. I really think the dish itself needs adjusting, maybe the angle accumulates the rain, who knows. The multiswitch you guys are talking about, your saying it could be on the dish itself (I think it is, I dont see a switch anywhere else.)...

    Dish keeps going out with the rain, boxes reboot

    When the tech came out there I assume you couldnt reproduce the problem because it wasnt raining. How exactly did he adjust the dish? In other words, he seemed to fix your issue but how did he know?

    Dish keeps going out with the rain, boxes reboot

    Which 103, I am a little knew to trouble shooting this. What is the difference from 103s/103c? So should I tell them to come out?

    Dish keeps going out with the rain, boxes reboot

    There is no multiswitch inside the house so it must be split outside.

    Dish keeps going out with the rain, boxes reboot

    I live in PA, its not like I am in a hurricane area. This happens at least twice a month or more. It wouldnt be bad if I just got some fade, Its the total shutdown of all the boxes that is the killer. So if the CSR is wrong what are my options?

    Dish keeps going out with the rain, boxes reboot

    I talked to D* again. They said I had an excellent signal. They suggested I buy a wedgie cover? Satellite Dish Covers - WedgieCovers.com - Satellite Dish Cover I did a search here and I have seen people using sprays and RainX, I really need to get these boxes to stop rebooting. Any ideas...

    Dish keeps going out with the rain, boxes reboot

    Hi everyone, Love my D* however my wife wants to dump it for cable. The issue is when it rains, the dish goes out. I have 2 HR21's and when they lose the signal they reboot and it takes like 5-10 minutes to come back. Is there anything I can do to keep the signal?

    Issues with HR21-700 deleting recorded programs

    Nah, they are 1 and 3. Yesterday I had a show recorded (x-play) and there was like 10 of them. Today I went back and there were 3.

    Issues with HR21-700 deleting recorded programs

    Heres a good example, I record disney's playhouse for my kids. One day there is like 14 of them. The next day they are all gone. Its totally random like that. I had 2 movies recorded from HBO. I set them not to erase and one day I went to watch them and they were both gone.

    Issues with HR21-700 deleting recorded programs

    Its actually quite frequent on both boxes. We do have a lot of things that record but there is way to much space to be a disk issue.

    Issues with HR21-700 deleting recorded programs

    Does DTV have some sort of purge on things your DVR? I record a bunch of kid shows on 2 HR21-700's. Randomly, things disappear without reason. Some of these programs are set not to erase unless disk is full and the disk would be around 50%. I even had a few movies that went away after some...

    Both HR-21's froze tonight

    What a weird thing... Wife called me in to look at the HR21-700. Wouldnt change channels or turn off (remote or power button). I wound up unplugging it. Came up but the blue circle wasnt lit. Turned it off and it went back to normal. I go downstairs to watch the other TV ad it was doing...
