A few months ago, I was told by Directv customer service that I could sign up for the sportspak and then freely change during the month between the sportspak and Starz (or any premium channel other than HBO--which has a higher monthly cost) without any fee and without extending the cancellation...

Sorry that I don't know the correct name for the service. But, I'd appreciate this group's opinion on whether it is worth it to pay the monthly fee for having DTV fix any things that break in your system? I have my own Ku satellite and I've worked with cable. So, I'm thinking that now that...

I tried to swap my SD/DVR box (newly installed yesterday) to RF remote. After 3 tries, it would not work. However, I easily changed my HD/DVR box (also newly installed yesterday) to RF remote using the same steps. This makes me wonder whether the SD/DVR box supports RF? Does anyone know...

I have a KU satellite and I've had cable with TIVO. I'm switching to Directv tomorrow and not quite sure what to expect on two fronts. With my existing TIVO I was able to run the cable coax through the Ku satellite receiver which allowed me to use TIVO for my Ku signal on channel 3 of the...

I'm about to make the Directv jump. I will get the 2 year contract with all kinds of discounts. I'm wondering what happens at the end of the contract. Will I just have to pay the full cost or does Directv cut deals to get you into a new contract. I assume I wouldn't want any new equipment at...

I'm about to take the Directv plunge and cancel Time Warner. Could I ask a few questions that are probably very basic, but I haven't found the answers yet: 1. I am planning to order an HD/DVR and I'll need at least one other receiver (that may be a DVR too). I also have a third TV. But...

My apologies if it is not OK to post a similar question in two different forums. I have a 1999 Mitsubishi 1080 HD big screen. Yesterday I obtained an HD cable box, hooked up the component video but no HD. I learned from an online search that my TV appears to HD ready, meaning that I need to...

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I obtained an HD cable box for my Mitsubishi HD 1080 big screen television yesterday. I hooked up the component cables from the box to the TV and OOPS no HD. I then jumped online to see what is wrong and I discovered that my set is only able to deliver HD...

I recently purchased a coolsat 6000 from CoolSatVSP of Los Angeles, CA. They had a Coolsat Authorized Distributor (Gold) logo on their site with the number #863027. So, I thought I was fine and not purchasing a clone. My coolsat didn't work well right out of the box (initially it would shut...

I'm back to using my old Pansat 2700a because I can't get my new coolsat 6000 to find the satellites using 1.2. I bought the coolsat 6000 before I thought to factory reset the pansat and I still looked forward to using it because it was supposed to do a faster blind scan. Not sure what to do...

Sorry for the ignorant question here, but I'm installing a new receiver after I had the original installed by a pro who has now left the area. How does one input the information into the receiver to allow USALS to function? My new receiver should arrive today. I moved my dish to my true...

I haven't used my nextorm USB receiver since last football season . . . . In the interim, I bought a new laptop. However, I can't find the nextorm box with the software so that I can load it on my new laptop (I used the nextorm software on my old laptop without any problems). I decided to...

My friend the dish doctor let me borrow another pansat 2700A and it turns out that it wasn't my dish or motor that needed repair, it was my receiver. That is a relief for me because I don't need to climb on my roof . . . . But, now I need to purchase a new receiver. The dish doctor will...

Yesterday while I was scanning the skies looking for football games, my dish simply stopped moving. My receiver still turns on and goes through the motions of changing satellites. But, when I go out and look at the dish it isn't moving. Does that mean I burned out my dish motor? Is there...

Does CBS use Ku FTA? 4:2:0? 4:2:2? I know they have an HD stream. Does that mean that they will use c-band? I'd love to watch my favorite team that isn't going to be on in my area.

I stumbled on to a bunch of links to various satellite to PC software sites. They claim to give you up to 3000 channels from satellite over the internet. All you have to do is purchase the software for less than $100. I did a search or two and couldn't find any information about how they are...

During football season I was able to pick up several feeds from the new mtn. network for MWC teams. All of them were on AMC2 and they came in 4:2:0 and 4:2:2. The signal was strong and easy to watch. Now, for basketball season, I've had several games where I can only pick up a very, very...

I had my DVB world box all set up this week for this weekends games. It worked beautifully. I just tried to fire it up to see some of the 4:2:2 feeds and when I try to open the software it "fails to initialize." The led light is only flashing intermittantly. I think it was on solidly earlier...

I just installed my new USB World receiver. Works great on my laptop on everything but PBS HD. I'm assuming that this means that I'm overtaxing my laptop. Any other ideas? I will see tomorrow, but I'm hoping that this doesn't mean that the 4:2:2 sports feeds will break up too. By the...

Long time lurker, first time poster. I have a 4:2:0 ku system. I'd like to watch the sports feeds using 4:2:2 (missed one last saturday that I really wanted to watch). After reading as much as I can on this topic, I'm thinking that a QualiTV receiver is both out of my budget (more correctly...
