Directv has an online chat?

I'm in Clayton which is 10 miles Southeast of Raleigh and I want the Greensboro locals so I can get the Braves on FSN (here we get the Orioles). I did this with Dish last year with no problems even though I know they use different beams. I'm assuming I would be close enough. If I were out...

I should add that I still have my old locals.

I have rebooted and I only "moved" 100 miles...which is well within the spotbeam needed. Still no change.

My Vip211 will keep a signal at 30%.

The installer came yesterday and had to put up a second dish for the HD. I asked him about my tailgating solution and he said he was 99% sure the legacy LNBFs will work with my 211 but was kind enough to give me a spare Dish Pro Plus LNBF from his truck. I will test this week and be ready for...

well sounds like i dont need to now:confused:

hmmm Thanks for being patient with a novice here. Your quote above is encouraging but it goes against what the CSR told me last night. Perhaps he misunderstood me? Perhaps I relayed bad info? Perhaps he was just wrong? Maybe and in this case hopefully. Again, according to the CSR, I have...

We might be getting over my head here, but come Saturday I will have a 625 (dual tuner SD DVR) and a 211 (single tuner HD receiver). The CSR told me last night that the legacy setup I have on the auxillary dish will not work with either of these receivers when I tailgate. Is this not correct?

true I should have clarified. The tailgating dish with the legacy is going to be used with either the HD receiver I'm getting on Saturday (just to get a SD picture while tailgating) or the DVR I have in the family room. The CSR said the legacy LNPFs wont work either of those receivers...

As I mentioned in another thread topic, I am trying to assemble an auxillary dish for tailgating purposes. Last week, I went to my sister's house and took down a dish 500 dish that belonged to the former owner (my sis has cable). I was thinking this would be a perfect way to keep the tailgating...

Will a 211 HD receiver and an old Dish 500 dish work? I realize it wont be HD but I'm more interested in just getting a picture.

Actually, the towers are off of Hwy 70 at Guy Rd.

Not complaining one bit. My point is they were supposed to send me what I needed. As I mentioned, I only live 3.2 miles from the tower so I dont need something that can pick up Al-Jazeera OTA. I should be able to pick up all I want with something small thanks to my location. As for PBS, I dont...

How will this thing be plugged into a Dish/DTV receiver?

I e-mailed WRAL about the free OTA antenna. When I got home today, I had a huge antenna designed for roof mount sitting on my porch. I was expecting a TV top antenna, not this huge thing. Living in Clayton, I can literally look out of my window and see 3/4 of WRAL's tower. Why did they send...

Thanks for the reply. So instead of activating the spare receiver, could I just carry one that I would otherwise have in a bedroom and hook it up to the spare dish?? I ask because I wouldnt want to pay a monthly fee for the spare receiver if I only use it 10 weekends a year.

I'm seriously considering a switch over to DirectTV from Dish Network in August. My inlaws have a Direct TV dish and receiver in their attic. It is two years old and they kept it after switching to cable. Here is my question. Because I love to tailgate at various sporting events, if I signed up...
