    HD Access credit expiring soon

    My 24 month $10 HD access credit will expire within a month or so. Seems like I recall a post that DTV extended the credit and sent an email to confirm. Anyone have experience with getting DTV to extend the credit beyond 24 months and, if so, did it take any action on your part?

    HDMI outlet failed

    As background, I live in an area that has frequent summertime thunder storms which can cause short (less than 2 sec) power outages. The storm doesn't have to be local as power feeding our area has a 40 mile cross county run. When the storm is local we unplug everything. I've had HDMI outputs...

    Bundling w/CenturyLink & HD access credit

    Free HD access after 24 months

    Curious if anyone has been successful in getting the free access extended beyond 24 months. I believe I'm at or nearing 24 months. This month's bill did not include the $10 credit but I noticed in another post several had not received the credit. Supposedly DTV had some issue with billing.

    Connecting D12 SD receiver to older 2 lnb dish

    Helping a friend who just got a new home setup with H24 & D12 receivers. They have a cabin and unsuccessfully tried to connect with a 2 lnb DTV dish. Based on her description I believe their home setup is SWM using a slimline 3 lnb dish. She was knowledgeable enough to know the satellite setup...

    What is typical lnb current draw?

    While using an Acutrac 22 to setup a Slimline 5 lnb dish the battery life was less than 1 minute. I used one of my old Hughes B2 receivers as the power source and was able to complete the alignment. While tuning on 101 using the B2 I noticed the lnb current draw was 225ma. Is this a typical...

    HR22: 1 vs 2 inputs

    I use our receiver at home and at our cabin. I have 2 inputs at our house but have not run the 2nd coax at the cabin. I understand both inputs are needed for both tuners but what issue(s), if any, will I experience if only 1 input is initially hooked up.

    Auto tune option??

    I took advantage of D**** offer to upgrade to a DVR. My H21 was replaced with a HR22-100. With the H21 if I wanted to tune to a program in the future I could go through the process of "auto tuning" however the HR22 only gives the choice of recording a future program. In some case like...

    Service charge

    Recently I discovered my H20 receiver didn't have a signal on the HDMI output. All others did, in fact, I had the set connected via the component output but because of some newer equipment wanted to use the HDMI to reduce cabling. I don't have the monthly service plan. After reading the...
