Yes all those receivers mentioned work with the 18 inch dish. Just make sure you select 18 inch dish on the settings and also choose "multiswitch"

I have a lingering question about the protection plan. So if I have an owned receiver and it goes dead, will the replacement receiver with the protection plan become an owned receiver? Experts in this please chime in, thanks.

SAME HERE I've had that happen to me too when you ship something with delivery confirmation and it says it got delivered when the person receiving it never got it. Also sending receivers back with USPS probably is not a tracking number, it most likely a delivery confirmation number. I've...

I have one I have one of those Manhattan Skyline receivers. It works fine, it just doesn't have a blind scan. Meaning you have to manually input the frequencies and transponder numbers to scan them. Let me know if you have any questions about them.

WHAT GOT ME INTERESTED What got me interested in getting my first FTA system was that I got tired of paying absurd cable rates. I also have an interest in electronics and gadgets which drew my interest into FTA. Above all, I just like watching tv and when I first got my system it was 123W where...

SLIMLINE WITH DRD430 I have a drd 430 with my slimline working, it gets locals, just gets 101, 110, 119. Don't know if you have a different slimline than mine.

WOW SMART Wow you're smart, but didn't answer the question. I'm asking a time frame of when Dtv will change from mpeg-2 to all-mpeg-4 format?

COULD BE SOON Well with the new satellite being launched, maybe they'll be adding new channels and those receivers won't be able to hold as many channels any more. Maybe Stonecold has some insight into them or anyone else?

A REAL ESTIMATE OF TIME? Ok so who has a reality based estimate of when we will have to change our MPEG-2 receivers to MPEG-4? I find this topic interesting

THANKS STONECOLD Thanks Stonecold, just wanted a clear answer on who had been calling me the past couple of days.

EXACTLY Exacly!!! enough said.....

OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T Well if you didn't care you wouldn't be asking me why I care? So why do you care to post then?

Got a call from Directv supposedly, I wasn't home when they called me from that number (866)693-5688. Is this pertaining to the locals blackout or is Stonecold around to let me know where this number is coming from? Just wondering since I hardly ever get a phone call from Directv.

LOCALS OUT Yep mine are out, I'm a little south of San Jose in the Salinas/Monterey area and my locals are out.

QUESTION Just wondering, when are these older receivers (i.e. RCA DRD420 AND 430) being replaced for their lack of memory for the guides?

CONSENSUS??????????????? So do we a consensus here that it will take 5+ years or 10 years to convert everyone to MPEG4 instead of MPEG2. Also from SD to all HD? I think SD to all HD is about 10 years in my opinion.

COULD THEY BE REFERRING TO..... Are you getting the abc east, nbc east, fox east channels on the 380's and 390's? If you are that will probably be the locals that they were talking about coming from new york city. I know when my local abc affiliate was not in hd, they added the abc west hd feed...

TRY THIS Try that receiver that has searching for signal in your other room where the signal is ok. See if it works there. If it doesn't it's probably your receiver. If not maybe your coax cable or connection to the lnb might be bad.

I want to win the new SG9120 Heavy Duty DiSEqC Motor & The WS9036 36 Inch Dish I definitely want to win the new SG9120 Heavy Duty DiSEqC Motor & The WS9036 36 Inch Dish

NEVERMIND, CHANNEL CHANGED FREQUENCY I have the channel after a blindscan. I guess it changed it's frequency. The new Tp reads freq. 11978 H 1563(s/r). If you need to do a rescan use that. Also now it says Espacio 2009 USA on mine as the channel.

Anyone experiencing a No Signal on 116.8 for the channel Televisa? I get the other channels on there but a No Signal on Televisa. I've had it before but a no signal now and did a blind scan and it still doesn't pick it up. Anyone getting it right now?

STOP DEFENDING THEM Yea well someone needs to speak up, stop defending these cable crooks. It's about time people stood up and finally do something about these big cable companies and corporations deceiving the common folk. Remember there used to be a bill for de-regulation that only made cable...

I know a friend that is selling me the Samsung Model SIR-TS160 High Definition Receiver for $30. It is unsubscribed but it is able to receive digital and high definition channels without a subscription. Any one have an opinion whether it's a good $30 investment?

THANKS GILLHAM After playing around with it I finally found it. Good thing I tried it on a sunny day cause last time it was kinda cloudy. I have a good lock on it so hopefully I won't have issues with it. Thanks for your help
