Can anyone share the trick to get into your account? When I try, it just goes back to the main page. Thanks in advance.

So, just had OrbyTV installed at my cabin, as I think it will be perfect for seasonal use (one season cabin, so turn on for the summer, and then turn it off when summer is over until the next summer). Was just curious what the Ethernet and/or USB ports were used for? Anyone know? Thanks.

I'm down in Owatonna, and I'm getting all transponders on 103(b) in the 90's. I think you still need to make some adjustments. mmulet

All go in Southern MN All the transponders are live on 103(b) here in Southern Minnesota (Owatonna). Readings are from 90-100 across all transponders. mmulet

OK, maybe its just me, but doesn't it bother anyone that you still have to have/pay additionally for an ISP? I guess I'm disappointed in that with the introduction of VOD, I was hoping to get rid of cable entirely (no high speed available in my area other than through cable, and I really...

Thanks. I am eligible, and actually, when I just checked again, they were present. Thanks. I guess 103 has no spots in my area. mmulet

Looking for some help for those much wiser than I. Upgrading my 3-LNB to 5-LNB, in preparation for more HD. Setup: Directv H20 receiver with B Band converter, no diplexers. Slimline 5 LNB dish Location: Southern Minnesota Programming: PREMIER EN ESPANOL HD Access ESPN GAMEPLAN...

Thanks. Is there a directory of what is mapped to where, so I could check? Miguel

No, I don't get any HD locals to home in on. I'm using an H20, so I did select the 5 LNB dish during setup and used the initial parameters it said to use. Also cross checked with another program of the internet which corresponded to the first set of parameters. Miguel

Morning. I've looked through the forum, but haven't quite found the answer to this, so bear with me, and if you can help or point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. I've done all my own satellite installs over many years, but this 5 LNB setup has me stuck. I'm...

Hello, sorry to be a noob but I want to make sure I know what I'm talking about BEFORE I talk to Directv. My current setup is this: 3 LNB Dish A DirecTivo 10-250 An H20 receiver A Samsung TS-160 HD receiver. In order to receive the new HD channels, I'm assuming I'll have to upgrade...

An HD receiver, without HD programming, might look a little better, but unless it upconverts the signal, it won't be a lot better. mmulet

I have to agree; it is probably just the fact that you are watching a compressed signal which is optimized for a 27" set. When you go to a 56" set, the picture looks A LOT WORSE. That being said, you can try tweaking the image to make it the best you can. I'd invest in the AVIA Calibration...

Oh, and check for moisture in the lines while you're checking. mmulet

I had a similar problem with Dish a week or two ago; the DBS systems are very similar. Mine was a loose connection; I'd recheck ALL connections (and by recheck I mean take them apart, make sure there is no corrosion, and reconnect), and if you still have the problem, rerun the cables...

Jimbos- I sympathize with you. I was going to get the HD-Tivo anyways, and I totally agree with you that it is an expen$ive option just to make their programming work (along with the $5.99/month). Apparently, they just don't have the bandwidth to leave it on any longer, which really is too...

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for MPEG-4. MPEG-4 compresses things even more; it is good for portable devices with small screens, and even then, you see a TON of artifacts. No doubt that some people are more discerning of their television image, in which case SD on just about any...

As Newshawk stated, here is the 'official' reply from D* outlining the availability of the Short Cuts channels: Dear Mr. Mulet, Thanks for asking about NFL SuperFan Short Cuts. I'm sorry to hear that you weren't able to watch the NFL Short Cuts this week. There was a short period of time...

And according to D*, this is the last year they will allow it. I'm in the same boat - an NFLST customer only, but according to the CSR, they WILL require a package to renew next year. Bummer

No, I don't think you're being too picky. I bet the picture is fine on your smaller sets, and that the problem is only with your large set. Most cable/satellite providers optimize their signal for the most common TV's out there - 27". When you increase the picture size (like your 60"), you...

srjewwettlaw- I agree that an HD-TIvo would solve the problem (or a regular one at that - and actually, I did order an HD-Tivo). But the SuperFan package is $99 extra (or $49 if you got in at the right time) - it seems to me that for your extra money, you shouldn't have to stay up all night...

I did speak again with Directv late last night (around 10 CST), when the Short Cuts still weren't on. They said they'd have them on later that night, and lo and behold, they were on this morning before I left for work (I work for a living too, and just didn't want to wait up last night). I...

OK, here is a followup. Just got off the phone with Directv, they said they are to start tonight. They had intended to start last night, but gave no reason for the delay. I guess I just have to wait and see.

Boy, those short cuts are really short. They are so short, in fact, that I can't even watch them tonight because THEY AREN'T ON. What gives? Are they only available Sunday night after 11:00 PM, but how long do they go for? I'm not happy - the Red Zone channel wasn't on last night, and no...

Just wanted to post an update: I had forgotten that one of my lines had a line amplifier on it; the connection to it was loose. I just removed the line amplifier, and all the ODD transponders are up to their regular levels and Voom has been reformed. So, it was either that loose connection...
