    Is 99 (s) the same as 99 (b)??

    This morning I am getting mostly 90s on the same transponders. Last night it was cloudy and snowing, but this morning it is as well. The other odd thing is that the signals for this satellite don't come up as quickly as say 101. What is the reason for that? Any ideas on why at night (with same...

    Is 99 (s) the same as 99 (b)??

    Interestingly on my H20 is it 99b and on my HR21 it is 99s. How about the alignment. Can one of the lnb's be out of whack? Thanks

    Is 99 (s) the same as 99 (b)??

    I just had the 5lnb dish installed. My understanding is that locals are on 99b. When I scroll through the satellites to check signals there is a 99s, but no b. Also there are only the first 6 transponders available which is understandable since it is mostly spot beams. Anyways, I am getting my...

    How do you "move"?

    Dish and Directv could careless where you "move" to as long as you are paying the bill. They don't care if you live in Los Angeles, but you "move" to San Diego. As long as you are not doing it every week or month and not abusing they just don't care. The only people who would care is the FCC...

    MLB Superfan - Up to 8 Games 1 Screen

    I am new to Directv and am thinking of getting the MLB EI and Superfan. Can someone tell me if it is "up to" 8 game or is it have to be 8 games on 1 screen? 8 seems cool, but I would rather see 2 or 4 games if there is a choice. Also, if you are say in the Boston Market, that would mean you...

    HR21 viewing HD on SD TV

    I just got an HR21. I have many TV's in the house. I use a modulator to send the signal to other TV's. That of course would be and SD output (The Yellow, White, Red Jacks). I also use the HDMI out to the TV that happens to be the HDTV. My question is...Is there a setting that would make the SD...

    OFFICIAL: Dish Network Not Enough New HD Complaint Thread

    How about NESN??? Dish has most of the RSN's in HD, but no NESN HD. The Red Sox are the champs and they don't have the HD Channel?? I am looking to switch to D just because of this alone. I don't feel like watching the Sox in SD for the entire summer.

    New Install - No Phone line

    Ok, how about this one. I could "move" but tell them my number will be the same because "I have vonage" and I need to still have that area code because I still do a lot of business in that area. That would work if I am forced to initially plug the phone line in. Has anyone tried this? With...

    Please Read: Uplink Report Update by Scott

    I did not realize they went public. I did not go through all the pages of that thread before. Anyways, they are the same channels. Also, yes, they are still crappy channels. I knew my source was a good one, too bad the channels themselves were not also good.

    Please Read: Uplink Report Update by Scott

    Trust me the channels are not any good. I am a current DISH subscriber that is about to jump to D* and I really don't want to because I like the equipment so much better. Anyways, I was hopeful that maybe these were decent channels so I went to check it out. Maybe I would stay with Dish. The...

    Please Read: Uplink Report Update by Scott

    THe channels they are testing are no good. I went to another site dedicated to "stealing" satellite signals and I asked someone to post what the channels are since everything is open and viewable to them. I did not see the channels firsthand and assuming the person is not lying to me, the...

    New Install - No Phone line

    I will have 2 receivers, but what about ordering NFL and MLB?

    New Install - No Phone line

    I want to switch to DTV, but I was told by an installer (who will not be my installer) that Directv requires that all installs are hooked up to a phone line to complete the installation. Currently I have DISH and I do not have a hook up and I use a different address then where I am physically...

    Help With " Moving"

    Interesting thing is that on my account, the address is in MA, but the phone number is in NY. DISH never asked me when I "moved" for a new phone number. I of course don't plug into the phone line anyways. The reason why we would want to be on the phone line or internet is to save $5.00 extra...

    Help With " Moving"

    Can Dish catch you if you connect via the ethernet? Phone line is a no no, but I would like to not have to pay the additional $5 fee per 622 receiver because I also "moved" a while ago.

    Anyone have this happen when 'moving'?

    I have been doing this move thing for 3 years but get one set of DMA. But interesting question is that with the new receivers it allows ethernet connection instead of phone line. I never connected to the phone line so Dish does not catch, but if I connected to the ethernet sould they easily be...

    Boston Spot Beam

    I live in Albany, NY not CT. I am about 150 miles from Boston. So again you are saying that if someone with Directv near me can see a good signal on 99 tp4, and/or 101 tp4, I would definitely get them? There are no other channels that could interfere with them. NESN HD should not be a problem...

    Boston Spot Beam

    Brewer4 - Where in CT. That is weird that it is 50 miles less for HD, how do they deal with people who are supposed to get it, but can't because of the 50 miles. They just say you are out of luck? JTN - I live probably 80 miles from Springfield, so you are saying I might not even get NESN HD...

    Boston Spot Beam

    I currently use Dish Network and live in Albany, NY, but use a Mass address to get NESN and of course I get the Boston Locals. I am thinking of switching to Directv, but I am wondering if I will get the Boston locals with Direct. I have seen 2 different maps of the spot beams, they are...
