I have a fiber poll at the end of my drive, but I can't get fiber from AT&T (Comcast only). When they stopped fiber at my house, I asked the workers why they were pausing and they told me (back then) that they were pausing that roll out until they could see if the merger went through. Well, we...

Thank you.

Last week, my logo's vanished on my Genie/HR44... I expected them to return, but I have done a reboot (yesterday) and it's still just text. Is this a known issue? If so, does anyone have fix?

It seems that you are likely to get a 44. You can always refuse if they don't have it. I requested one and when my installer called to verify I was home, I asked him what I was getting so I didn't waste his time. He said 44 we were good.

I called this when the 3D push began. I do agree that sports in 3D was cool, but simple math will help you realize the cost and additional equipment and training to do it right was counterproductive. TV manufacturers are always looking for something... After HD, they had to start...

I did a 44 and 24 a few days ago. I'm really glad I was talked out of the client. It also gives you some backup if the 44 goes, you still have a DVR.

I switched it the signal meter, so it would give a composite view of each satellite. Margin on what I put on here is +5 to -5, depending on the Transponder. Maybe I just had the first really thick, dense clouds I've had in a long time last night. I'll see how it behaves in the next rain.

Via the signal meter view, I have 99(c), 91% 99(s), 78% 101, 98% 103(ca), 95% 103(cb), 96% SWM, 100% That looks pretty good to me... Comments? I was literally off last night for 2 hours.

Which satellite(s) are the HD channels on? What is the nominal signal I should expect on each?

It was gone in both for an hour... They kept rebooting too. It was irritating, as I could not watch recorded programs. My first thought was try the HR44... It was searching too.

Is Direct rain fade worse than Dish? I have been out for 30 minutes... It is raining, but I am used to 2 and 3 minute outages at the most. I see signal on 101, I was able to watch SD longer... Which satellites am I looking at? What bands? I notice 99 has multiples.

To be honest, if you want to be treated well, you pretty much need to switch after every contract. It's easier than trying to get someone to give you a new customer discount for staying. The DirecTV deal is ridiculous right now, plus I did it Memorial Day weekend, so I got another $5 off a...

I just had one installed yesterday. I love it.

Absolutely loving this setup. I record quite a few shows on Friday night and I had 4 timers going while watching something else. The speed of the 44 is great and the 24 in the bedroom is pretty much as fast as my Joey was, but with two extra tuners. The other thing I notice is that there is...

All hooked up and working... My installer did not know you could use another HD Receiver to hook up to Genie. He said he was new. So far, I like it. I know the HR44 is busy downloading and doing things. I still find it to be quick on it's feet. I might be looking hard, but I feel like ESPN...

Thank you both... Great signal here on the Direct birds... Genie is downloading now...

Installer is here. It is a 44 as I requested. He told me I would have gotten one anyway, as they stopped installing 34's when they ran out at his company. My client box is an HR-24... Is that good to go, Jimbo?

I plan too. I have read a lot on this forum and it seems I am in for a slow ride with the old one.

I did 'officially' request the new Genie, both on the phone and via my 'notes to installer'. I explained what I was coming from and that if it was slow enough to bother me that I would cancel within the allotted time. I don't know if that will help or not, but I need it to at least be as...

After 22 minutes, I was able to speak to someone and get it changed. He was less than enthusiastic and tried to talk me into keeping the client. When I insisted, he then charged me the 199 + tax... I wonder why the resistance? I suppose they need to get some Genie Mini's out in the wild...

They should really put some more staff on that 'change your order' number. I wonder how many people give up and cancel the appointment after holding for 10+ minutes... This is crazy... You always give good service at least until you get the contract executed.

Thanks... I will modify to the HD DVR... You can never have enough tuners.

So, you are saying for another 100, I can just get another HD receiver? My install isn't until 6/7. I'd be happy to call and change it. Can someone recommend the best performing setup I can ask for? Genie is a given. What is the BEST receiver to get for the Bedroom/Client location? Would...

I'm happy with the client and the genie... All I need is the 5 tuners and a client in the bedroom. I basically just duplicated my Dish system. I am reading about a faster Genie. I guess I should have researched this. I had football fever... LOL. What are the odds I get the fast one...

Those New Subscriber deals + Sunday ticket were too much for me. I got a Genie and Genie Extender to replace Hopper and Joey. The five individual tuners is big to me, as I frequently have conflicts on DISH since I watch tons of Cable Networks. I loved my Hopper, but I've got more...
