On both local and (non-local?) channels the sound drops off for seconds to minutes. But if the show is backed up, even just a second, the sound is okay. I did a quick search here but didn't see this problem listed. Then again, tough to figure what to search for. We have two other receivers but...

For boba: I didn't rent that meter; I was wondering if anyone had an opinion about it. This is the fourth dish I have installed, an 18" round and two slimlines. Never had a SWM so didn't expect the power inserter. I lost a lot of time scratching my head and wondering why it wasn't working. I'd...

No, I have a slimline at my house where this reciever was. When the reciever goes from a Slimline to a SWM Slimline the tilt and elevation changes. The mast is practically plumb. As I said, I don't know what else to adjust to make it better. The mast mount is level. I moved the mast up until...

Anyone have an opinion on this? Spectrum Spot | Single Wire Multiswitch SWM or SWiM System | Rental kits for DIY alignment I got everything mounted but could not find the satellites. I'm at my cabin, I bought a SL3 SWM. I get the cable run, mount the dish. First questions: it came with a...

Do you mean the second HD I specifically ordered or when the second one failed? The one that failed didn't fail out of the box but never worked either. I wouldn't have accepted a charge if they wouldn't have replaced it. I know it's not much money but the amount should not matter. I am just...

Of course this is my fault for not checking my bill. I blame DTV for trying to pull a fast one, and by going paperless. Guess I have to watch my bills more closely now. Last year my HD receiver died. They had to put a new dish on the roof for the new receiver. The problem was, they never...

I hope you are joking, because I am laughing. Seriously I see nothing wrong with the unit. Probably most of the readers will roll their eyes but I could fix this. I was a component level repair technician for fifteen years. But can't do anything without the circuit diagram, etc. I saw...

I don't have the receiver in front of me, want to get the question out there and will add details later. I have an older model HD receiver. I had it unplugged when I got a new HD receiver; it worked fine. Last night I went to rehook it; as soon as I plugged the power cord in there was a clicking...

While watching the Jerk Saturday on an HD movie channel, the sound in one channel went out. I have all four outputs hooked up, it was on all of them. Other channels were fine. On Sunday watching TNT-HD, the picture went out. It was brown, not black. Regular TNT was fine. It went out once and...

I don’t know what HD receiver I have. It was installed by a D* tech in June. I don’t have DVR or Tivo. I have a rear projection. When watching my local OTA HD I notice the picture is slightly too big. I have to move the picture up to see the bottom weather crawl. I also notice on CNN and...

What do you mean by this? What fails? I just got the oval dish and only have the HD rec hooked up. Was going to use SD for upstairs TV. I only have one cable going upstairs and it wouldn't be nice to pull a second just to use an AB switch. Figured on using 3x4 with cable input.

(Sorry if I’m going over old topic). I don’t know what D* magazine is called, but I just got the newest copy and the reformat is horrible. Movie listings from 9:30am to 4pm, regular channels from 9am – 11pm, (not sure of actual ranges), channels not listed. My regular TV guide also changed...

Was at friends house watching Sunday Ticket on a HD-ready TV. He has a regular D* Tivo. The quality sucked! My 1984 Fisher has a better picture. He’s not a techie, I assume he doesn’t have any of the D* HD packages. When I started to really question him he admitted they watched more DVDs than...

Maybe a D* person will read this. If I owned an apartment complex or a house with four apartments; could I contract with D* so that I install one dish and hook up all apartments? One apartment I lived in during college was just the second floor of a house with a separate outside entrance...

directvrep: Not blaming you or D* either. I know it's all the FCC and you guys just have to follow the laws. The FCC is killing the multispectrum broadcast technology because they know it would remove license auctions and the revenue it generates. I just know my luck, that I’ll move and get...

directvrep: the problem is there is no FCC fine for the broadcaster when they are denying a request without just cause. I know the broadcaster has specific rules to follow, they have an expense when they have to research each claim for a customer that gets no signal and they want to claim as...

A friend just switched over to DishN from cable. Had a digital cable receiver on one TV. I'd laugh every time I was at his house, making fun of the picture and cost. He didn't switch because he couldn't get local channels and OTA was marginal. Anyway he finally switches and calls the cable...

Stunt_101 how long have you had D*? Is your receiver hooked up to a phone line? When they changed the programming package (at least a year ago?) I went from getting all the sports stations to getting none of them. I don't have a phone line hooked up to the receiver; I called D* and complained...

I emailed D* about the local channels. My complaints are: No WB(there is no local WB station), they are not broadcasting the local UPN, and the PBS is the national feed not local programming. The reply: Thanks for writing. I'm sorry, but a local WB affiliate is not available in your area...

You guys are killing me. I wish I had known that a few months ago. Let me rephrase as a question: How vigilant are they about checking addresses? Can't they notice that they billing address and physical location are different? I legitimately have another home that is way outside the range of...

Sorry for late reply. Yes, I've been to antennaweb. The problem was I thought I may be moving to an area with no OTA signals so have put off buying anything. I still may move, but starting to doubt it. When I know for sure that I am not moving, I will get a full sized directional up on the roof...

Last weekend, Friday to Monday, I was getting all the baseball games. I only have the basic sports package. I had some visitors; I was out for an hour and when I came back they were watching a game that was out of my area. I flipped because I thought they had ordered the baseball package...

Not looking for places to buy but won't turn down suggestions. Just want to know why there is such a price range for the two items; and local stores (b*st B*y, R*dio hut, C*rcuit Kity) have the highest prices. I need to buy them; I find a good price on one item, but they don't have the other or...

local channels: PBS It is not showing the local channel. Last night from 8 - 10 were more local type shows, they had something different on. Right now it should be BBC news and it's mister rogers. When the shows do match up, the channel logo isn't on the screen like it is with the OTA signal...

We just got local channels, H-burg PA area. First, I'm assuming the message that says Hburg will NOT need a multi-dish system is true? I only have a single LND (?) right now. Second, has anyone else noticed problems with PBS, or any local stations not shwoing the same show? There's a PBS...
