    SWM 3 LNB Split?

    Yes u would a swm 16 module not a swm 8. Swm 16 module expands your current system to a 16 channel system. A swm 8 module will not allow more than 8 channels.

    Interesting news regarding CSN Philly.

    Had a meeting at work yesterday. I am a install tech for directv. Was told Comcast lost their appeal to withhold csn philly from satellite. Hopefully I will be watching the Phils sooner rather than later.

    Any truth to this story????

    Thanks Scott. I'm not sure how credible this story is or the Dish Tech for that matter. I'm just chomping at the bit to get some sort of news on CSN Philly coming to D*. I am a huge Phillies fan and hate that they are blacked out on MLB EI.

    Any truth to this story????

    I periodically do a google search to see if there is any new information on Comcast Sportsnet Philly coming to D*. I came across this forum during one of my searches. What does everyone think? And is there any truth to this story and if so when will D* see some information on this topic? Here is...

    New HD channels today

    Today I woke up and saw that HBO Family East and HBO Signiture East are in HD now. I guess 2 is better than none.

    As a subscriber to Directv, this is the first year I will have MLb E.I. Just wondering if any of the Phillies games will be broadcasted on there.

    Whats the difference between HR24 and older HD-DVRs? What about H24 and older HD rcvrs too?

    It's not a guarantee, but like I said, you can request the 24's at order or call back and ask them to add them to work order. I see it done all the time.

    Lease?

    HR24 or H24 are the way to go.

    Whats the difference between HR24 and older HD-DVRs? What about H24 and older HD rcvrs too?

    The HR24 and H24 are virtually the same receiver except one is a DVR. They are the newest and best receiver Directv has. They are no buttons on the front. Everything is touch sensitive. Also the software has been improved allowing for faster remote response. They also have a built in DECA unit...

    DirecTV: get new customers to pay old customer's unpaid bills.

    The guys is right. Directv does flag the address and charges the current owner to pay any unpaid balances from previous customer.

    Slimline alignment possible w/o meter?

    The 99 and 103 will not show up on a meter. You have to fine tune the dish to pick up those satellites. Basically on each pin there is a bolt with a dial on it. One for elevation the other for azimuth. You have to turn 2 to the left and record that number on meter. Turn back to right til you get...

    2 HR-24's, share record list?

    No. If someone is watching a recorded program in one room, you cannot watch another from same DVR in another room. It will say DVR in use or something similar.

    Slim line SWM 24x32 oval dish with 5-LBN's

    Any of the grey Directv boxes are not SWM compatible except for the H20. And you cannot get a signal on a SWM LNB without a power inserter to power the LNB.

    DIRECTV HD?

    When will we be getting new national HD channels? It seems like forever since we have seen any new national releases. Any word on if and when we will see any new channels?

    LAND LINE REALLY NECESSARY?

    I used to install Directv and the only thing the phone line is used for is to call the box once a month to check the access card for purchases such as ppv. If you don't order ppv you don't need it and even if you do, you can order online or over the phone. No need for phone line for receiver...

    I'm livid! Service turned off...

    I would be careful that it is Directv you are calling. I have heard of some people receiving phone calls from companies acting as other companies and the same thing happening. It is just odd to me that you have to pay by Western Union. That to me right there puts up a red flag. I would make sure...

    Switching from E* to D* questions?

    They should not touch the E* dishes because they are not their's. I could be wrong, but they don't touch anything that isn't part of the install.
