What I would be concerned with is them shutting down the directory service. In the old days you used to be able to manually specify the IP/DNS address and port to connect to. When they worked to remove that option i knew that the box COULD be killed and become a useless paperweight. That's when...

While very OLD, I still use the Mac app to watch my Slingboxes. It only supports resolutions up to 640x480 but its enough for my uses. I use is with the PRO HD and older units. I never bought any of the real recent units.

It appears that they changed the way that the 'Short Cuts' are being shown this year. In years past they were shown on channels 705 and 706. The DirecTV website still has these directions on their website. But it now appears that you must watch these via a connected device (and not via the on...

Delivery of the sub-channel locals via IP is where I see the at&t/Directv combo paying dividends. They could be picked up locally and sent to the DTV box as a stream via at&t DSL (free) or other ISP (you have to deal with the bandwidth costs yourself).

How about leaving the 630 in the next room and using a wireless transmitter to feed the room? I think that you can get HD transmitters for around $200 these days..

I think you can add it to any package other than DIGITAL LITE. I see they're running a .01/month for 6 months promo now.

I've always chosen to run separate lines out of concern for the insertion loss of 2 diplexers. I'm not sure how they do the switching with the new xKU.

Both receivers have been sold.

New price for the 630 and I now have a 605 for sale too. $100 for the 605 and $200 for the 630. I don't have the dish setup any more so the 'free' test drive period has expired. :-)

The opinion of others is always appreciated. Thanks. As you might have guessed I am a recent convert from cable. With cable, the boxes were rented and replaced at no charge as long as you went to their store/office to make the swap. Their monthly service plan was half of the fee being charged by...

I've had the techs out 3 times. Most recently this past Friday. This time the tech claimed it was the cable ends from the dish. I have HR44 and 2 C31's. In my case the HR44 works well consistently. The C31's go blank and will not recover until I reset the HR44 or perform a system check on the...

First let me ask you a question. Why are you using daisy chained routers? Possible solution #1. If the Netgear router is the only device plugged into the Actiontec, you might be able to tell the Actiontec to place the IP address used by the Netgear into the DMZ. That would forward all ports...

This is my first year with DirecTV. In my area the channel remap does not take me to my local channels. It searches for the same game and then changes to FOXwHD 399 or CBSwHD 391 neither of which I receive. Is there anyway to 'fix' it so it will properly tune to my locals?

Probably far less than 1% in the US would be my bet.. I look for other StarChoice/ShawDirect dishes locally and I've only seen 2 others. I would guess the NFL could be one of the sources of friction on the move.

I've closed my Shaw Direct account so I have a little used 630 DVR that I am looking to sell. Asking $225 plus shipping from Southern California. I can connect it up to a slingbox to allow you to test drive the device prior to purchase. No active subscription but you can see channel 299. I...

DirecTV is carrying Al Jazeera America starting in the Choice package. I also noticed that Free Speech TV broadcasts an hour of AJE each weekday. It will be interesting to see if that changes. DirecTV also carries MHZ Worldview on their international sat (95). I wish they would move it to...

I just switched to DirecTV and did almost the same thing, 1 Genie, 2 Genie clients and an HR24. I wasnt able to talk them into discounting the $199 price for the HR24. I DID purchase it through Costco and that will net me a $200 gift card. So it's basically a wash.

Short answer: If the LNB's on the 75 you have at home and in AZ are the same type then you can move an active receiver successfully. That far south you NOT be able to view any channels from G1.

While this does have a certain appeal.. Pandora is on just about every device (Roku, TV's, Blu-ray players etc). That sort of availability will take years for Apple to achieve. Generally Apple tries to avoid that sort of distribution. I use Pandora because it is on the device I use, not just the...

Cat 5 and Cat 6 have 100 meter limit. If you don't want to run an ethernet cable you could use a powerline bridge instead and then add an AP/Router w/DHCP disabled. I ran Cat 5 and went the router as an AP method. Two SSID's for me as I had some issues when I used the same SSID for both ends of...

Here's a unit that I purchased to convert the MicroHD's HDMI to component. There is also a version that will output SPDIF. This looks like the units that Monoprice used to sell. Analog 2.0 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00APEG9N8/?tag=satell01-20 Digital...

2nd Breeze-M burn is done.. Waiting for the 3rd/4th now..

How Stations Can Kill Aereo And AutoHop Broadcasters have an alternative to converting over-the-air networks to cable channels to thwart Barry Diller's Aereo and Charlie Ergen's AutoHop Dish DVR: the "Dual Stream Strategy."...

Good eye, thank you! This antenna was a Craigslist find and no docs were available. Looking at it now I can see the distance of the reflector is to far away from the dipole to do its job. I always wondered about the support bracket not being perpendicular. :-) I will fix it with the hope that...
