Apologies if this has been discussed a lot in the past but I haven't been visiting here as much... I've noticed that a lot of the satellite channels now have local advertising. I was wondering how they do this? Do they put local ads on a transponder at a certain time and capture them to the DVR...

I am visiting my parents this weekend and they have recently switched from DirecTV to Dish after at least a decade on D* - I have to say that the Hopper is pretty sweet and makes the current D* platform look pretty long in the tooth: not only the speed great compared to my now-sluggish HR44 but...

After last weekend's heavy, wet, cling-to-the-dish snow, it's time to invest in some heavy ammo. I'm prepared to drop at LEAST a full $10 on some state of the art water cannon technology, but there are so many models to choose from. You can't put a price on peace of mind, after all, especially...

Hey folks - Wondering what my options are here - Channel 4 in Indianapolis, WTTV, since sometime after July 8th has been having a picture quality problem. The picture "pulses" about once per second and sometimes pixilates a little bit - kind of how UVerse used to behave all the time on all...

In the old system, there was a "thread tools" menu that let you mark all forums and sub-forums read, so the next time you visit you could easily see what was new. How do you do this in the new system? Thanks - Jeff

I'm staying at a Holiday Inn Express this week, and the LG TV in my room has DirecTV along with a DirecTV remote. I push the guide button and it comes up with the normal blue and black guide and it looks like any DirecTV receiver. The box has a single coax cable running from the wall to the TV...

It's snowing! Big, wet, sticky flakes! But, my satellite dish is now covered in snow and it's up so high that I can't reach it to brush it off. I have an AM-21 connected, and that was working for awhile, but then it stopped working due to the "searching for signal" error messages from the...

After a brief flirtation with Comcast and their awful X1, I'm back with DirecTV! When the installer hooked things up again, everything works except the 2nd receiver (H25) reports no Internet. Configuration: Living room - HR44, connected to house Ethernet directly Bedroom - H25, connected...

For those who are fans of The Walking Dead on AMC, you might want to check your program guide and make sure that the season premiere is set to record. For me, it wasn't - it wanted to recorded a clip show this afternoon (Saturday) instead, and left the premiere episode unrecorded. Next week's...

U-verse has always been intriguing to me. My neighborhood has had U-verse for many years now (it was one of the first areas in Indianapolis to get the hook-up), but my own early in-store observations of the picture quality as well as the plethora of negative reviews of the service kept me...

Checking out the NFL Sunday Ticket free preview today - watching channel 712-HD (Patriots at the Titans) and the picture breaks up and is nearly unwatchable very frequently. Anyone else seeing this? I'm guessing this isn't normal for Sunday Ticket (or who would ever pay for it?), but none of my...

More crawls on TV tonight - it looks like Dish is once again going to fight with WTHR 13 (NBC) in Indianapolis. Is this a feud with Dispatch Broadcasting or just channel 13?

Has anyone else experienced a lot of audio dropouts when watching an OTA channel with the AM21N and HR34? When I first tune to a channel, the audio is fine. Then very brief dropouts start happening after about 20 minutes. The dropouts get longer and longer until eventually there's no audio at...

I got 0x548 installed on my HR34 this morning. The fonts were screwed up again (which is how I noticed the update was installed), and a reset of the receiver brought the crispness of the fonts back again.

I was looking in the FAQ and did some Google searching but couldn't find instructions for reverting from a CE back to the national release. Can anyone point me to the right place? Thanks - Jeff

Regarding the HR34 and AM21N combo... When I set up the AM21N, all the OTA channels show up in the setup and everything is correct except for channel 8 (WISH). There are always duplicate entries for this channel. The exact channel that is duplicated seems to vary from setup to setup. Usually...

So tonight, my HR34 recorded 2 of all the prime time shows - 2 Modern Family, 2 The Middle, 2 Happy Endings. And it recorded last Friday's Bill Maher also (which was recorded last Friday). I added an AM21N yesterday, but all these dups were on the satellite. Just a glitch with the new receiver?

I've found some conflicting information on the Interwebs - what's the maximum number of H25s you can connect to an HR34? And when you watch a satellite channel on the H25, it's getting its signal from the satellite, and not using up a tuner on the HR34, correct?

I normally hate these kinds of threads, but I thought I'd do a brief post on why I switched from Dish to DirecTV after 5 years. Maybe the New Dish™ will absorb a few ideas. 1. Give credits to 922 users. I paid $400 for mine (plus a contract), and many others paid $200. This receiver has never...

Hey - I'm switching Dish to DirecTV today, and I had a couple of questions: 1. Will the installer remove my Dish dishes from the roof if I ask (or offer to pay)? 2. Right now, the coax from the Dish dish runs into the crawl space where it's run into in-wall coax near each of my TVs. Will...

Hmm, what else...?

I'm thinking of going back to Comcast, but I'm wondering about having only 2 tuners. Currently, with my 922, I record most of my prime time shows OTA which leaves the satellite tuners free for a cable channel or watching a basketball game. Can most shows be found for free in Comcast's On Demand...

I have an Onkyo TX674 receiver that's about 5 years old, but it's working great. It has only 2 HDMI inputs, and I just added an Apple TV as my third HDMI device, so I'm playing musical cables to get an easy-to-use configuration that doesn't require two remotes. Previously, I had my Dish 922...

This afternoon, the OTA module failed on my 922 so I unplugged it for a few minutes and powered it up again. The OTA channels came back. Now, however, I don't have any scheduled recordings past Friday, 10/7. I hit the power button and rebooted again, but nothing is showing up in the daily...

Anyone else? Could it somehow be related to the outage yesterday? This timer has worked all summer but tonight it failed. This is the first time my 922 has missed a recording.
