    In November I upgraded my system with an HD DVR and a second HD receiver. I got the DVR for $199 with a year free HD service ($120 value) and the HD Receiver for $49. The question now is I would have prefer a second HD DVR as opposed to the standard HD receiver. How does D* handle this...

    Searching for Satellite......

    Well, the alignment is a concern now. Especially if D* won't get here for 10 days. Looks like I am only getting about 8 transponders on 101. Most say "0" with the others around low 40's and one at 64. I will have to check connectors at grounding point to see if there is any issues there...

    Two weeks ago had new Slimline Antenna installed. I live near Allentown, PA and with recent snow fall today now have no signal from dish. It has virtually been like that since 6PM and it has stopped snowing. With my old dish I would get fade but it would normally return after short period of...

    I feel like a hodge podge!

    I upgraded an initially received an HR21 from installer which I refused. Called D* and told them that when I initially called to upgrade I told the CSR either i get an HR20 or I don't upgrade. They said they would provide HR20 but tech said I was his first customer to receive the HR21 from his...

    Hr21

    When the installer was there I had called D* and they initially told me the same thing. "You get what you get". I told them if I would have known that I would have a Dishnetwork tech in my living room and not Directv. I was then forwarded to Supervisor who told me the same thing. I told them...

    OTA Channels on HR20-100 VS The H20

    You can place two zip codes in the HR20 to receive data for your DMA and an adjacent one. The HR20 does not actually "scan" for channels but receives channels that the D* database provides (via the zipcodes provided). I believe the H20 actually scans OTA channels. Not a good thing on the...

    OTA Channels on HR20-100 VS The H20

    I just got an HR20 today utilizing OTA as well. I am missing a few channels too. Also noticed that the tuner on my TV (Panasonic Plasma) has better signal strength than the HR20 when comparing channels. Few channels have pixalation that are clear on TV.

    HR21 Hunk of Junk Thankfully I got a call from D* this afternoon and they are sending an HR20 via FEDEX!!! This was to suppose to be for providing the HR21 to me in error. When they called back I indicated that it was a good thing because the HR21 does not work!! When you hit the...

    HR21 Issues I upgraded with Directv after I told them I would only upgrade if I received an HR-20. They said they would place on order specifing HR-20. Tech arrives today and I asked him if he has HR-20. His response "That's all I have been putting in. I don't think we have HR-21 yet. So...

    Hockey without Center Ice?

    Yes you would get the Leafs game but not necessarily in HD. D* has started to place "select" games in HD on the NHLCI package. For example on Thursday they had 4 games in HD (according to D* website). Saturday they will have two games but the Leafs game is not slated to be in HD. Tuesdays...

    NHL CI Home and Away Coverage

    In your case I would assume that you would have to watch the game on your home teams RSN regardless if they are playing at home or on the road. For example, if you live in Buffalo last nights game would only be available on MSG even though there are two feeds available.

    Comcast Sportsnet Philadelphia and Sports Programming

    Comcast utilizes a "terrestrial loophole" rule - meaning because they do not transmit the CSN feed via satellite they do not have to provide the channel to the satellite companies. All channel that are transmitted via satellite must be provided to companies such as Dish and Directv. So...
