    DirecTV HD 20 Receiver

    I have an HD 20 receiver w/remote for sale. I have no idea what it's worth, make me an offer and pay shipping & it's yours. Works great, we had it on my GF's daughters TV. Works fine, no balance against it, we moved and can't have satellite where we are.

    Combining OTA & Cable to TV

    I have an outdoor antenna and Basic Cable, which I only use for the guide, free music, free VOD and the Discovery channel. I need a way to combine the OTA digital input and the cable signal, as my TV has a single input. I tried a common splitter but I get really bad noise on the cable side. Do I...

    Netflix speed on Comcast

    Hi Guys, I have a dilemma. I just moved and wanted faster streaming, as I was stuck at 3 Mb with Qwest for the last 2 years so I chose Comcast. My package states "up to" 25 Mb speed so I got it. On my computer, I get speeds up to 18 Mb. On my Blu Ray player I get VUDU's speed test off the...

    Netflix Format issue

    I hope this is the proper spot for this. Just this evening my Netflix started looking weird. I have small black bars top and bottom for all the shows and it is slightly squished vertically. It is not my TV, I know what I am doing. The menu is fine, but every show that I watch looks weird. Even...

    Anyone know when Panasonic will update the Netflix interface?

    I just watched Netflix at a friends house on Wii and the interface is awesome. It allows browsing just like on a PC. I have a Wii bit of jealousy, I want to be able to play my movies without having to logon my PC. I know that other machines have this too, but will it ever come to Panasonic? I...

    Sirius Was Good to Me

    Someone stole my Sirius radio out of my car so I called Sirius to cancel the account and terminate the radio (aren't the thieves in for a surprise!) I've had 2 radios for 3 years now and they offered to replace my radio free of charge if I would remain a customer. Pretty cool, huh? My new radio...

    OTA Issue-Need Help

    I moved to an apartment complex last September. The units have antennas for OTA reception. The problem is, the antenna that feeds my unit is VHF only, so now I only get analog 2-12 reception, so I get no digital channels. About 1/2 the units here have UHF/VHF antennas and are OK for digital. The...

    Firefox Download Queue????

    I just upgraded? to Firefox 3.0.1 and the download queue drives me crazy. It always pops up and maintains a list of everything I download. The last version did not do this and I can't figure out how to turn it off. I have a young daughter who uses my computer so I don't want the queue to be...

    My Dinosaur Died!!

    Hey Techies, I need your help. I posted this elsewhere and have not yet received a good answer. I have an old dinosaur HD DVR, the Model 921 and the hard disk apparently died. On boot-up, it shows the round HDTV symbol and just keeps recylcing at that spot. I found an identical hard drive online...

    921 Rear Input Question

    I wanted to run my Panny DVR through my 921 so I hooked it up but there is no option on the Guide to choose the Back Panel Inputs. The manual says it should be a sub channel of channel 001, but I have no channel 001. I called Dish and they say I have a defective unit. This unit is a brand...

    Sirius Home Antenna

    What's the secret to orienting this thing? :confused: I've mounted it in 3 locations with a good signal, then it goes away. It seems very sensitive, almost as much so as a Dish LNB. I am very frustrated with it and have started using my laptop streaming the internet feed to my HT receiver...

    Wanted: Twin LNB Yoke

    I bought a dish 500 system off Ebay that advertised a Twin LNB and I got 2 singles with a SW21. I emailed the guy and he sent me the twin, but not the yoke so I can't mount the LNB and he is ignoring me. Does anyone have an extra yoke laying around for cheap? PM me. Thanks. :hatsoff:

    Problem with recording on a 921

    I just installed a 921 and probably 6 timers have gone by without firing. I've only successfully captured one show. It will show recording, but it's not, or it is time to record and it won't be. I do have mismatched inputs on the sat lines, so I suspect this may be my issue. Until my new LNB...

    Help With 921

    I just bought a 921 and it will not see my dishes. I have a legacy Dish 500 pointed at 110/119 and another at 61.5. The two are tied together through a SW21. I tried running a dedicated line to each input from each dish and I get nothing. Do I need DishPro gear? If so, what exactly do I need...
