You don't necessarily have to go with a pole, I went with a wood post, 3 ft into the ground, 7 ft above ground. Works like a champ, and imo, looks better than a metal pole. You can get all sorts of lengths at Lowes.

This is what I use for one of my rooms in a log cabin (can't drill holes). Works great. X10 - Video Sender - Wireless Cable TV in your Livingroom - $49.99

Just say it's guest quarters, and be done with it.

I'd wait and see what other codec(s) D* is going to offer with Mediashare, as MPEG2 is currently the only one they support atm. I'm sure some form of MPEG4 will be supported eventually.

Will do.

On Directv's regular website, all of my channels show up, and I can schedule a recording just fine. On their mobile site, none of my DNS channels show up. If I try to manually schedule a recording on a DNS channel, it says it's not part of my subscription. Anyone else have this problem?

Yeah, I believe it's the bitrate also, as SD mpeg2 transport streams work fine.

Something strange with this release. When I try to stream some HD content from my HTPC, the HR-20 squeezes the video to 4:3, instead of displaying it in 16:9. Regardless, it still only plays the HD video for a few seconds, then stops. They had this working a few months ago, I wonder what they...

I bought a wireless sender from X10.com for my sister, and it works great. The D* receiver is downstairs, and her TV is upstairs.

I really wish they would fix what they broke a while back. I use to be able to stream HD MPEG2 recordings from my HTPC to the HR20, but now it only plays a few seconds, then gives me an error. SD MPEG2 recordings work perfect. The HD recordings use to work perfect about 6 or 7 CE's ago, but...

Works great for me, showed both of my HR20s.

MediaShare was working fine for some of my videos after downloading this update. But now, even the files that did play fine, won't, they'll play for a second or two, then give an error (Unable to access media). I haven't changed anything at all on the HTPC, and I've reset the router and...

I use to work for The CW, and Smackdown is going HD in January '08. The WWE has been testing HD for the past two years, they're almost ready to go.

That's not really true. I'm 62 miles from Huntsville, and pick up everything OTA from there. I get the same results (nearly 100% signal) with a Channel Master 4228 and an Antenna's Direct XG91. I do have the antennas on a 35-foot mast though.

$$$!

Thinking of getting CI. Will I have any blackout problems since I live in northwest Alabama?

I'm not a part of the CE yet (always forget when the download time comes), but if I have two HR20s, how do I tell the website which HR20 to set to record?

I talked to an installer, and he said they already know they'll be going back to a lot of places to run extra lines (due to diplexing). He said Directv won't pay for that, since it should have been done originally. The company he works for isn't very happy about it. To be honest, they should...

Wow, 498 didn't work yesterday, but it works now, as does 9300 and 9301.

All my signals are good, but all I get is a grey screen on 498. At least it doesn't say "Searching for satellite signal".

Tech came out today. Right off the bat he tried telling me that 103(b) wasn't lit up yet, and that everything was normal. After showing him that I was getting readings on the even transponders, and then showing him this forum, he finally started to believe me. We tracked the problem down to a...

Hmm, I'm not sure if I have a problem or not. On 103(b), I'm getting an 88 on the even transponders (96 on T16), but a 0 on all odd transponders. I get 0 on the odd transponders on 110 and 119 also, but all the current HD channels come in fine (evens are in the high 90s). High 90s for all...

I work for a CW affiliate, I have the press release sitting in front of me. I have no idea why Directv says they don't offer it.

Directv and The CW came to a DNS agreement back in mid-September. Directv does not yet offer an HD DNS feed though, just SD.

Well, it was a no-go. Man, what a long day! Since I had to fabricate a mount for the feedhorn, I had no way of telling what my problem was (azimuth, elevation, feedhorn placement). I'm just going to take down the 10-foot C-band dish off our building and use it. At least I know it works...
