Sorry, I'm 600 miles away! I don't think my folks got any particular paperwork, and the installers usually remove boxes. Is there some marking on the feed I could ask them to find?

After 6 weeks of back-and-forth with DirecTV and a barely-cooperative local installer, my parents finally have HDTV, courtesy the new SL3 dish. Their very wooded location did not support seeing the 110 & 119, so this was their only option for reliable reception (although they did have a...

Thanks for the answers! I was also trying to look up what is on 119 that isn't also on 99, and didn't see anything except out-of-market LIL's and internationals. The few HD channels on 119 seem to be duplicated on 99. It would be a shame if an installer wouldn't complete the job if 119 can't...

Hi - I'm here gathering info for my parents in Atlanta. They currently have the original single-LNB dish pointing at the 101 orbit and are considering upgrading to full HD capability. What multi-dish version (3 LNB, 5 LNB ??) will they need to receive all the latest HD channels, including...

The subject pretty much says it all: Is there any way to get a free HD-DVR (with free installation, of course) for a new customer?

My parents have an H20, purchased last Christmas, that is acting up. The symptom is occasional (daily) freeze-up, followed by rebooting, and a complete resetting of their custom (Family) channel listings. Something is obviously wrong, and D* agrees. Though the unit is only 7 months old, and...

My dad's 101 dish has outlived its usefulness, and it's time to go with an AT-9. Unfortunately, his only possible line of sight location (due to trees) will require about a 125-150' distance from the receiver. The installation manual for the AT-9 says to limit the cable run to 100 ft. But...

Thanks for the reply. But I already have all the correct local channels in the guide, both analogs and digitals. What I trying to figure out is how to directly go to an analog OTA station by entering its number on the remote control's keypad. For local digital stations, it's working fine...

Sorry for asking if this has been covered (could not find via a search..new 360 owner here): I can't figure out how to directly enter the channel numbers for analog OTA stations. When I just enter a channel number "xx", the receiver tunes the satellite-feed local-in-local station (which I...

Robert, Since you are probably the most visible dealer now for the 210, can you shed any light on the questions that have been asked regarding the simultaneous SD/HD output? There is a caution note in the manual that says downconverted SD output (of an HD source) will be cropped/distorted...

GaryW- The info in your post then leads me to conclude that the 210 is unsuitable for simultaneous HD & SD viewing (or recording). In other words, if I'm watching HD native on one set, my SD house distribution system will be sending a cropped/distorted picture, and the guide will be unusable...

Simultaneous SD cropping? I've been trying to get an answer to a question about the 210 for a few weeks now, and no one seems to be able on AVS!! :( So here goes. The manual for the 210 (as well as the Samsung 360) have a statement (below) warning about cropped SD output when it is used...
