    R15 won't show "local" channels

    Yup. That was it alright! Fixed. Now if I can just figure out what's wrong with one of my cables...ARGHH. Hey, when I do a setup for the R15, it gives me an interesting message: "Your dish type is set to 3 LNB Oval, but setup detected 3 satellites." Huh? there are supposed to be three...

    R15 won't show "local" channels

    DUH!!! I think I might have figured out a problem. My wiring is really confusing (wiring closet with about 100 cables for home networking, home audio and DT) and I'll have to check some things out in daylight tomorrow, but I think I know what is going on. I believe the 3 LNB has two pairs...

    R15 won't show "local" channels

    I was on the phone with them for three hours. They could not fix it and told me to go return the unit and try agian with the new one. I just hate to do this as I really don't think that will fix it.

    I chekced my setup and it is: 101 (A) Transponder 1 119 (B) Transponder 22 101 (C) Transponder 8 I have it set to Oval 3LNB. I did the Auto-Detect once with the DTV "tech" on the phone and it set it up as Round (which was incorrect). I still got the regular channels, but still not...

    R15 won't show "local" channels

    I just upgraded an old receiver to an R15 today. Spent three hours on with tech support trying to get things to work. I'm left with one problem--I pay for local channels (sub 100) and when I try to view them it gives me the error "Channel Not Purchased (721)" Finally, Tier 2 gave up and said...

    Directv begins pegasus conversions?

    Has anyone swtiched form PEgasus to DTV who had "waivers" submitted for network stations? I have the East/West network (ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS and FOX) stations, but I had to originally get written waivers from each local network affiliate.

    Losing local channels if I don't upgrade the dish??

    Well, I changed to a triple LNB dish. Now I am able to get local channels on my DTV/40 hour TIVO receiver. However, on my very old standard RCA receivers (maybe 6 years old), it does not give me the local channels. Any idea why?

    Losing local channels if I don't upgrade the dish??

    I have a related question. I am in the process of replacing my old dish with a triple LNB (in preparation for the HR10-250, if I can ever get one). My current reciever is a Philips DSR6000R01 35 hour Tivo model. My question is, it's okay that I put the triple LNB up now while I still am...

    Need Help! Question on pointing new 3 LNB dish

    It's the Philips Model DSR6000R01. It's got 30 or 40 hour TIVO in it. I don't know if it is a "Plus" or not. It is not the one that came with the DirecDUO though. Do you think it will recognize 110 and 119? If not, it will still pull in channels as it did with the old dish? The new...

    Need Help! Question on pointing new 3 LNB dish

    Thank you! I wonder why checking on the receiver is different than checking with Pegasus (which also agrees with an online calculator I found). Hmmm...

    Need Help! Question on pointing new 3 LNB dish

    I just purchased a DirecTV 3 LNB disk to replace my old one which was a DirecDUO dish (DirecPC--which I no longer use--and DirecTV). Before installing the new dish, I want to make sure I understand the pointing of it. The instructions tell me to go into the pointing setup on the TV/receiver...

    Questions about switching form DTV to Dish...

    Well, that sure sounds like it would rule out Dish. Unless there were a standalone HD TIVO that I could connect to a Dish reciever. But I don't think there is such a TIVO box.

    Questions about switching form DTV to Dish...

    I'm on DTV (well, really Pegasus) and just purchased my first HD TV which will arrive next week. I currently have a DTV/TIVO standard 40 hour receiver. I'm looking at my options to be able to recieve and record HD programming. With DTV, it seems my only option is go get the new $1000...
