What's the 2-way prog feature? Thanks.

I am using RF to control my HR 24 but am having no luck programming AV1 and AV2 (for DVD and VCR) on my new DirecTV remotes. None of the codes seem to work. However, I was successful in programming these devices when the remote was set to IR. I now suspect that the remote will not support IR...

One more question. What kind of anchor to keep the pole from spinning? Drill a hole near the bottom of the pole and insert a rod of some sort? Thanks, Ben

That's what I thought also. Thanks.

Would you guys let an installer put up a heavy 5 ft long, 2" diameter pole for a slimline dish using only a pole driver? He says he will drive it in the ground about 2 feet. He says he has been doing it this way for years with no problems. This is totally contrary to what I have read here...

I don't want the channels you mentioned. Just looking at the SL5S as free insurance for new or relocated channels in the future on 110 or 119. How likely is that? I think the dealer would order the SL5S if I press him on it. Any downside of that LNB vs. the SL3S? Ben

I just signed up to D and my installation is scheduled this week. It's a SWM installation with 2 DVR and 1 HD receivers. I requested a SL5S LNB for the Slimline dish (thinking that 5 satellites must be better than 3), but the local dealer I'm working with insists that the SL3S will be all I...

Glad you made the switch from Dish? What Dish receiver did you have, and how does the picture quality compare on HD AND SD? I have never had either one and am trying to pick between D & E. Thanks.

I plan to have the HD receiver set for a 16:9 display. Would the resulting vertical stetch on a SD set make for bad viewing? If so, I need to think about adding a SD receiver to my order and paying the $5 month extra. Or would changing the HD receiver display to 4:3 totally address this...

I want to hook up an HD receiver to a HDTV using HDMI and then use composite out to mirror on several SDTVs. Will the picture on the SDTVs be full screen or letterbox? Thanks.

I'll answer my own question. According to LyngSat, Charlotte locals are on 99.2 and 101.0. So, guess I'll need the HD receiver, but thanks for the tip.

I'm in NC, the Charlotte market. Am I in luck? Thanks.

Is is possible to use the HDMI, component, and composite outputs on D's HD receivers simultaneously? I'd use the HDMI or component outputs to an HDTV and the composite output to a modulator for whole house distribution. Do they all remain hot? Thanks.

I have one HDTV that I planning for an HDDRV and one SDTV. Are there any advantages to using an HD receiver on the SDTV other than being able to use MRV with the HDDVR? How about PQ? Are HD feeds downconverted by the HD receiver to 480i usually superior to SD feeds of the same programming...

I'm new here, and ready to make the switch from Charter Communications. Wondering if there is any disadvantage to dealing with AT&T to set up new DirecTV service versus buying from other authorized dealers. AT&T is offering a $50 rebate to new customers, but I have seen larger offers...
