    East Coast (NC) signal strength question DISH vs Directv

    Ok, I have never contacted dirt. How is this done? I still haven't heard back from D* after giving them my name a password to use until they fix the problem and I still have the problem. :(

    East Coast (NC) signal strength question DISH vs Directv

    Well cancelled D* today and no they did NOT mention their LNBs. E* was the last provider I had cancelled so that was what I was thinking of. I tried to help out my fellow D* subs on my way out by saying the reason for leaving was the lack of support for HBO Go on the Roku. Of course they...

    East Coast (NC) signal strength question DISH vs Directv

    Yet Directv's deca\moca works perfectly doing this very thing. Just wish DISH did this too. Like I said it's disappointing but obviously with my install tomorrow, not a deal breaker.

    East Coast (NC) signal strength question DISH vs Directv

    Ok, I pulled the trigger. They will be out tomorrow to do the install. I am looking forward to the call to Directv where they offer me the sun and moon to stay. Then of course the tone will change when I say NO and they tell me to box up the LNBs and I say you can climb up on my roof but I'm...

    East Coast (NC) signal strength question DISH vs Directv

    I appreciate you trying to help. But it seems I keep having to do a lot of restating my setup for the advice I am getting has nothing to do with my setup that I have already explained. I have my router in my main room where the Hopper will go; I am good there. The Joey will go in the bedroom...

    East Coast (NC) signal strength question DISH vs Directv

    Not sure how you interpreted my post as needing 1080p streaming from the DISH receiver although I know if DISH provides it then the MOCA connection can handle it; hopefully the Joey can as well. My statement was in the context of using the the Joeys Ethernet jack to feed my network\internet to...

    East Coast (NC) signal strength question DISH vs Directv

    ??? Isn't that exactly what MOCA is supposed to do? Are you saying the Internet connection on the Joeys won't be reliable? Directv does support their MOCA devices to supply Internet to other receivers. Of course they don't support 3rd party devices plugged into the extra Ethernet jack. But it...

    East Coast (NC) signal strength question DISH vs Directv

    That's disappointing. My Directv is feeding the Internet to my bedroom this way now. I'll have to figure out a solid alternative that can handle my 1080p streaming needs. Thanks for the info.

    East Coast (NC) signal strength question DISH vs Directv

    My question again is "Does the Joey provide network connectivity to other devices or a switch plugged into its Ethernet port?" The key words being "provide network" and "to other devices". In other words: Joey gets its Internet via coax (moca); can I then plug a Roku or other device into the...

    East Coast (NC) signal strength question DISH vs Directv

    OP, here. My house before the one I live in now, I had 110,119 (DISH 500) and a separate dish for 61.5 and had great signal strength. My home now I had 110, 119, 118.7, 129 on the one dish (I believe DISH 1000). Locals being on 118.7 and seemed to be the last to go out. Now that you guys have...

    East Coast (NC) signal strength question DISH vs Directv

    Ok, I appreciate all the help. I had the 110, 119, 129 install several years ago. Still not certain anything has changed to make me think I will have a stronger signal (like new SATs with higher power). But I guess I won't know if I can get a strong signal without getting an installer out and...

    East Coast (NC) signal strength question DISH vs Directv

    Or maybe DISH SATs at that time were at half power. Just trying to see if DISH is now better for me than it was. Thanks.

    East Coast (NC) signal strength question DISH vs Directv

    I want to be clear. I am not saying Raleigh locals suffered from rain fade on DISH disproportionately to the other channels. Is DISH lower in the sky for me for ALL the channels compared to Directv?
  14. D

    East Coast (NC) signal strength question DISH vs Directv

    27511 - Raleigh area But I don't remember locals dropping more than other HD channels that were available at that time. That was and still is all I watch (HD). In fact now that I think of it my HD locals were on the special \diff LNB and seemed to hold up in the rain a little better. I couldn't...

    East Coast (NC) signal strength question DISH vs Directv

    I am in NC and used to have DISH and now have Directv. I have had a lot better signal and less rain fade with Directv. I am now coveting the hopper \ joey setup at DISH but have loved the rock solid signal I have had since leaving DISH. I am not sure if I have trees in the distance that...

    Thanks for the HD but its time to go

    Every time I visit my Mom (she has E*), I get so frustrated that setting a recording defaults to ALL Episodes. This is moronic and frustrates me to no end on short visits and would drive me crazy if I returned to E* myself. My daughter tries to record a cartoon or 2 while we are there and ends...

    HR2x/R22 CE Release 2/19 0x3A8

    When having a similar problem after an update, I had to reset both receivers the next day and all was well.

    HR2x / R22 CE Release 1/1

    Yea, I know it's not HD on the second tv but it is MRV and D* is playing catchup in this race. But with HD they pull ahead so no need for them to get cocky and charge extra as well.

    HR2x / R22 CE Release 1/1

    What you say makes sense. But it would be such a misstep by D* since E* has MRV built into their receivers, U-verse (doesn't charge for the same feature) and rates are already being raised. I don't think the blogs would be nice about it either. Us geeks sure love it and would sorely miss it but...

    HR2x / R22 CE Release 1/1

    Thanks. Just doesn't make sense how some are rumoring that D* is going to start charging extra for MRV. If it rolls out and customers start using it; D* is going to come back and take it away unless we ante up? I would think it just another value add like internet DVR scheduling. So if this...

    HR2x / R22 CE Release 1/1

    So this is a customer candidate with MRV? I just want to make sure before I kick it off. Thanks.

    HR2x / R22 CE Release 10/23 v.036A

    When I had the issue playing MRV many months ago, I ended up having to reboot both (I have 2) receivers at the same time. For some reason the error stayed through a reboot of each individually. I don't know why, I don't care, it's just what I had to do.

    I'm a D* sub

    He's a dude that like football. I doubt he will miss the Lifetimes or Hallmark. :) And unless you sub to every movie package I don't think E* has any HD quantity advantage.

    Want to Switch To Directv, need help with costs

    My daughter got a standard def receiver in her happy meal yesterday. :D
