    D* local channel connector picture quality issues

    Hey all; I picked up a local channel connector to add in some of the subchannrls and pick up NHK World in HD, which one of the PBS stations carry. I’m noticing that the picture isn’t nearly as smooth as it should be — almost as if it is dropping frames but “catching up” quickly. When there is...

    Any Shaw Direct Brokers?

    I'm curious if anyone knows of any Shaw Direct brokers? All the links I've been able to suss out seem to have went dead a few years ago after their big satellite switch - - although I'm still in range of everything.

    Are the “SiriusXM” radios based on Sirius, XM or something else?

    Hey all— I recently got a new vehicle with a “SiriusXM” radio and Im trying to figure out if it is based on Sirius or XM technology? Everything I can find says they are a “combination of both” and receive their own packages, while Sirius and XM units receive a SiriusXM signal. I know there are...

    Can you sign in to premium On Demand with Orby?

    Hey all -- I've been looking into Orby, but I noticed I do not see it on the "list of providers" when logging into Starz & HBO etc. (haven't checked Epix) for streaming On Demand on my LG & Apple TV apps... DirecTV is there of course, so I just plug in the code on my screen and log into D* and...

    Wireless Genie on commercial account?

    Hey all— Does anyone know if it is possible to get a Genie and wireless clients on a commercial account? I work in a historic building, we can’t get cable, and have a bit of a wonky situation for Internet — I’d prefer we use more traditional means for TV rather than IP. The boss really wants...

    Did D* drop the broadcast networks On Demand?

    Hey Guys -- I seem to remember D* offering the broadcast networks On Demand... 1002 CBS, 1004 NBC, 1005 FOX and 1007 ABC (same numbers as their local channels in NY) a while ago. Obviously I don't watch them much, but I forgot to record Shark Tank last week and there was nothing on...

    I'm back... and have a remote question too :)

    Hey All; SO I'm back with D* after a one year absence. I moved to a new place with a view of the southern sky again... as much as I *loved* my Tivo Premiere on Comcast, stupid Comcast got rid of all but the primary HD feed of each movie channel not 3 days after I started service "to save...

    Who has the smallest cable lineup in their city? (...or the biggest case for a dish)

    Hey All; I was with a group of friends today, and the topic of TV came up--one of them said their parents were from Mineral, WA (a beautiful small town in the hills, btw) and that they literally only get a handful of very snowy channels from Comcast for $65 per month... I figured I'd take a...

    HR24 not receiving DirecTV Cinema/On Demand Channels under 1229

    Hey Guys-- I'm trying to access DirecTV Cinema tonight, and it is showing up as "not available"... The funny thing is that all On Demand channels under 1229 are showing the same thing... HGTV works (1229), while CNN, NBC etc. are showing up as not available. They are on the guide, just not...

    Hey All; I've moved into a new apartment, and they seem fairly satellite dish friendly--I've already brought the DirecTV, and would eventually like to pull out the FTA gear again. The issue is that in the lease in order to install the dishes you are forbidden to cut/drill or do any damage...

    I have an inept D* installer... I just want to do it myself... any ideas?

    Hey Guys; I've been a happy customer of DirecTV since 1999, and didn't think I would change, however recently my house burnt down. After dealing with everything related to that, I was looking at getting my DirecTV system set back up w/ 2 DVRs. The new place has a previous Dish 500...
