I have a standard box that is currently collecting dust in my bedroom (no TV is attached), and am still paying the lease fee every month. I want to transfer that box to a motor home. Can I just hook the box up in the motor home? Do I need to call *D? What steps do I need to undertake? Thanks...

I guess I could've tried that. I'll probably just wait til the channels go live on Wednesday (or whenever) and call back. So much for a pre-emptive service call. :rolleyes:

Didn't work because local HD's aren't available in my area, and therefore I have no use for 103 (a).

My readings are anywhere from the mid-30s to the low 50s for the transponders on 103 (b). Obviously, I need a little realignment on the dish. So, I call D* to set it up (knowing full well they're about to be flooded with calls for the same thing). The CSR thinks I'm referring to local HDs (which...

I believe it says "searching for signal on sat 1 (771)."

My HR20-100S also passes the test (I get the "searching for signal" on ch. 499). My last software download was just a few days ago.

Yes, I do have the Slimline 5LNB. I'll have to get back to you on signal strengths because I'm not at home right now. No idea on if I have a multiswitch, but my guess is that I do. However, if I have one, it was installed when I first got D* about a year-and-a-half ago. I know for a fact...

So, I've had my HR20-100 for about a week. I came home Friday to find that the HR20 had "frozen up." I had turned off the HR20 the night before, and couldn't get it to turn on, even pressing the power button on the box itself. It was plugged in because I could hear it running. I unplugged it for...

Thanks for the help, harshness. I apologize for leaving out the third receiver in my original question. I do know that it is frustrating when information is left out. What is the problem in selling the unit to my father? I should just give it away? He offered to buy it.

He does have a third receiver. What new hardware do I need? No OTA antenna involved. As far as the dish goes, it's on the ground and the cables are buried. That's the issue there.

I am about to replace my HR10-250 with an HR20. I am selling my HR10 to my dad, who already has a Slimline dish and an HR20 in his living room. The HR10 is for his bedroom. He currently has a standard receiver in the bedroom with one coax cable leading to the receiver. However, I know that...

I searched the forum and didn't see this question, so I apologize if it's already been answered or if it's too basic. Anyway, I am currently a D* subscriber with an HR10-250. I am thinking of switching to cable. I currently use an antenna to pick up my OTA channels. My question is this: if...

I've had the same problem, albeit infrequently. Normally, the HR10-250 locks up when I'm watching college football on Saturdays and flipping back and forth between multiple games. But it hasn't locked up for a while now (in fact, I can't even remember the last time it did). All I did when it...

I got something in the mail from D* last week saying I could still buy ST for the regular price, but also get the Superfan pack for free (I believe the value of the Superfan package is $99). The offer is good until the end of the month.

Check out this link to see what the numbers mean. It's from "The Lost Experience," which was a big interactive game over the summer (didn't get into it myself). The big "reveal" is what the numbers mean. Another great episode last night, BTW. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PPCCcXarkc

Tried that one already, but it didn't work. As I say, the OTA channels are coming in fine, I'm just not getting any reading on the signal meter.

I have a slight problem with my HR10-250. While testing the signal strength of my OTA Antenna, the signal strength meter just seemed to stop working. It wouldn't pick up any signal. I still receive my OTA channels, but it's just not showing any kind of reading on the meter. Has anyone else...

The zip is 39216. Here are my results from antennaweb: * yellow - vhf WLBT-DT 3.1 NBC JACKSON MS 231° 15.2 9 * yellow - uhf WAPT-DT 16.1 ABC JACKSON MS 235° 8.5 21 * yellow - uhf WMPN-DT 20.1 PBS JACKSON MS 230° 17.3 20 * red - uhf WJTV-DT 12.1 CBS JACKSON MS 229° 6.8 52 * red -...

Well, I appear to be getting a good signal (between 75-80) for the most part on the one station. But there are times when it just drops out for a few seconds. Also, it's the only station that I really have a problem with pixelation and "freezing up" at times. I thought that this was due to a...

New question, so I decided to start a new topic. Quick recap: using a Silver Sensor through an HR10-250 to pick up local HDs. One of my locals seems to show multipath more than any other. It's also the weakest of my signals. Does signal strength matter as far as multipath is concerned? What is a...

Also still waiting. Just got the message about the update on my HR10 Friday.

I want to thank everyone again for your helpful suggestions. I decided to go with the cheaper and easier route of buying an indoor antenna first. I bought a Zenith Silver Sensor online and it was delivered Friday. I hooked it up (using RG6 coax) to my HR10-250 and was pleasantly surprised. I...

I have a standard indoor antenna that I bought from RS that can only pick up one channel. I just assume (and maybe I'm wrong about this - I don't know) that having an indoor HD antenna would produce similar results. Also, I know that the local CBS, ABC, and NBC broadcast in HD. Just not sure...

I'm looking for some advice. I'm a D* customer looking to put up an OTA to receive my locals in HD. I live in a single story house in a neighborhood with a LOT of tall trees. I'm not very handy myself and would probably rather just get someone to install an antenna. Placement is not an issue...

Hi guys. Just curious if anyone else has encountered this problem. Used to be with TWC here in Jackson, MS. Around this time last year, I got an HDTV and upgraded to a SA8000HD-DVR. Well, no problems for the first month or so. Then, my DVR went on the fritz and had to be replaced. Next thing you...
