    DirecTV 10 Signal Reading Thread(Transponders are Hot!)

    After getting back from vacation, I checked and am getting High 80's and 90's (mostly 90's) on transponders from the 103(b). Very happy to see this. I live in Saint Paul, MN, just south of Roseville.

    Will new national HD go live on 9/12/07???

    I consulted a psychic and looked at the coffee grounds in the bottom of my mug this morning, and I am absolutely sure that the New HD channels will be appearing by end of the day on 09/12/(21)07. I bet my life on it. Just kidding. ;) Man I am not sure I can wait any longer. The suspense is...

    Channels 72, 76, 79 dead!!

    Since getting my Slimline dish professionally installed (1/25/07), I have noticed that when it was windy, I would partially loose signal quality on channels 72, 76, and 79. Now, for the last week I am getting no signal at all for these channels wind or no wind, wet or dry. I understand that...

    DirecTV Channel Listings - PDF format

    Looking the lists, it seems that 110 has some of the national HD's, and 119 the rest . Any chance that they will move the 119 (and maybe the 110) HD nationals to the new 99 and 103 Sat's going up? I noticed this weekend that when the wind was blowing the 119 HD's (Chan 72, 76, and 79) would...

    They just upgraded me....

    Well the upgrade went good yesterday, but I have a few questions. I am getting all the channels I am supposed to, and with the exception of a tiny bit of pixilation on one of the ESPN HD channels, they look great, even the SD channels look better than they did before. So far I am very pleased...

    Switching from 18" to 5LNB Slimline...

    I am finally biting the bullet and moving to HD D*. I currently have a 18" antenna attached to the SE corner of my house, pointing over the house next to me and pointing to the left (east) of the tree in front of his next door neighbor. I am getting great reception now (average signal strength...
