The TV is coax input only. The HR23 does have svideo output. The radio shack RF modulator I already had does have composite and svideo. Sounds like I a set for now. Thanks for e replies. -Doug

I am upgrading to a whole home DVR system next week. I will transition my HR23 to my upstairs tv and have a new HR24 installed in my living room. My question is, if I use an RF Modulator can I connect the HR23 HD DVR to an SD tv? I believe this will work. I know it's not ideal but I need...

Can someone tell me what satellite and transponders the Harrisburg PA HD Locals are on? I am having issues with the sound skipping and video pix-elating. I posted my signal strengths before and the group thought it they looked fine unless I was having local problems with my local channel...

Nevermind... I googled the transponder table and it looks like nothing in my area. Thanks for all the replies everyone. -Doug

Thanks for the reply. Do you know what's on 101 on transponder 4? It has a signal in the 50s.

Here's the signal strength numbers you requested. I do not recieve 110 or 119 on my sat. Here is everything from 99, 101, and 103. If it helps, I receive HD Locals from the Harrisburg/York/Johnstown PA market. Thanks, Doug ----- Satellite transponders (32 total at 101º) (spotbeams...

Thanks. I will post the results this evening. -Doug

I just switched to D* from E* and am not as familiar with their terminology but here goes nothing. I have a SlimLine Dish with a single head AU9-SL3 that picks up all (three?) sats . I've seen other SlimLine's from D* that have a multi head (lnb) end on it but I have the single. The...

What is considered to be a great signal when viewing the signal strength on the HR23? I am in the upper 90's almost all transponders. E* used a different scale than DTV. What is the highest number on their scale? Thanks, Doug

Called D* and got my account number. That did it. Thanks and sorry for the what now seems like a silly post. -Doug

I just had D* installed today. I ordered through Verizon to get the bundled deal. However, the D* site will not allow me to register based on my SSN, Phone, and ZIP code. I do not have my D* account number yet (as far as I know). Am I missing something or just not allowing D* enough time to...

LOL... I know. I'm not a D* fan. Their receivers are SLOOOOW compared to E*'s VIP receivers. Thanks for the reply. -Doug

I am an E* customer now that is switching to D*. This would be an HD installation. The only reason I am switching is because of a tree that I cannot work around without too much cost. Verizon wants me to bundle and give me $150 Visa Gift Card with 12mo of free starz and showtime...

I have an Eastern Arc dish (1000.4) with a single VIP 622 HD DVR. Since the spring a tree has bloomed and I am losing some HD Channels. I believe most of them are on 61.5. 72 may be fading in and out as well. 61.5 is definitely the one sat that is cutting in and out the most. Can I...

Lewistown has different locals than State College as well. Lewistown get's Harrisburg/York/Lancaster. State College get's Johnstown/Altoona. Thanks.

I am signed up to have Directv installed next week. I live in State College, PA so I get the Altoona/Johnstown Local Channels in HD. Will I need to have two dishes to get all available channels (including locals) in HD? Also, do you know what direct the dish(s) will point. I'm just trying...

Do you have any quality issues with WGAL-8 in HD? The sound studders fairly often like there is a sync problem. I saw on a Directv forum that some of their users were having the same issue a few months ago.

Harrisburg DMA / Eastern Arc Issue Has anyone in the Harrisburg DMA that is using a 1000,4 dish ONLY (eastern arc) having any problems with the sound quality? My will stutter (for lack of a better word) every so often. Sometimes the picture quality pixelates when this happens. The dish...

Does anyone know if there are plans to launch WHP-TV (CBS) in HD on Dish Network? -Doug

There is no reason it shouldn't work if you have all the right equipment and smart cards. I'll know soon enough. I'll be happy to sign a 2yr agreement to get it right the first time.

Well, I hope it works. :) If not, then I'll keep my 500 and add a 1000.4 wing dish.

Yes, official upgrade is 2 dishes. (as you stated above) It will cost you a 2yr commitment or $60. However, I've been told that it will work on just the 1000.4 without the 500 dish if you have the new smart card and mpeg4 recievers. This is what the poster, above, said.

Thanks again. This is what I thought but Dish gives you a different story everytime you call. My relative is going to try the 1000.4 dish only and see what happens. It should all work. Thanks, Doug

I have a relative that is a installer for Dish and is coming this week to install a 1000.4 wing dish. The 1000.4 will replace my 61.5 wing dish but he is being told I need to keep my dish 500 for 119 and 110. My HD locals are on 77 and all other HD programming is on 61.5. I have one...

By the way, I'm getting it installed through a local reseller but they said if dish scheduled it they woudl probably do the same they just don't know it.
