    Can't find 101

    Normally I can get 101 with little effort, which is why something seems amiss. I do have a slimline, sorry, should have mentioned that in the first post. I have tried different tuners and ran a line straight from the dish to the tuner and I am getting the same results. On the slimline, which...

    Can't find 101

    I have been working on getting 101 for the past couple of days (before the weather set in), though I will admit to freezing this morning trying to get this adjusted! Three degrees to the left and adjust elevation..... I will try first thing in the morning! Thanks again.....

    Can't find 101

    I have adjusted the dish slightly in all directions from the match-marked positions with no luck finding 101. With three directions to adjust, it can be tedious. Is there a specific way to adjust from here now that I have 110, 119, and 103? Azimuth, Elevation? I have covered up each of the...

    Can't find 101

    I searched the forum and I can't find a similar problem. If this has been answered elsewhere, please direct me there. I recently lost satellite 101. No obstructions, but a good wind storm recently went through. I can re-align the dish to get 110, 119, and 103 with strong signal (above 90 on...

    Let down of DirecTV - front page sat guys

    I really think that your millage will vary between DSL and cable depending on where you live. I had a cable modem in North Chalreston, SC and would have a cable outage at least once a week for a few hours and the speed would slow to a crawl after 5 PM. I had DSL in Norfolk, VA and was paying...

    Let down of DirecTV - front page sat guys

    I know it may not seem like much to some of the folks on this thread, but I am very grateful for the D11 launch as I will soon be getting HD lil as are many other DMA's. Many of my friends won't switch to DTV because they haven't offered HD lil yet (while Dish, FIOS, and cable do). ST looks...

    LA HD locals - 3 LNB?

    I live in Norfolk, VA but I just got my Dad to sign up for DTV and he lives in Portland. He wanted to get a line run out to his garage, but the line would have been too long. I recommended that he get a Phase III and mount it on his garage to eliminate the long run as it will be cheaper to buy...

    LA HD locals - 3 LNB?

    In general, where could I go to find out if I will need a slimline in the near future for lil's or if my triple lnb is good for awhile? Specifically, the Portland, OR locals. Thanks!

    Authorization problems with SWM?

    I reconnected the old multiswitch and put back the B-Band filters and my HD channels came back. Once I got the HD channels back, I reconnected the SWM and all is well. I must have hooked up something wrong on my end. I really like the SWM and, even though I know that diplexing is not...

    Authorization problems with SWM?

    I installed the SWM-8 two weeks ago and I attempted to order a PPV movie yesterday. The receiver would not show the movie. I called a CSR and they authorized all receivers in the house to receive the movie, and no receiver recognized that I was authorized to watch the movie. Today, I upgraded...

    2008 NFL Sunday Ticket Early Bird

    Do we know yet if ST will be MPEG-4 from the new birds, or will it be same as usual?
