    Simultaneous Viewing (not what you think)

    If SD will do, you could try one of these systems: Av Sender - Compare Prices, Reviews and Buy at NexTag - Price - Review

    Free HD swap offered....questions

    As someone who has an open mind and a neutral stance (I've been using the HR10 and HR20 side-by-side since the HR20 came out) let me reassure you that HR20 is a fine machine. I will admit that reliability is slightly on the HR10's side, but only because of full disk issues, usually. The HR20...

    Splitting 5LNB into SWM8 & 6x8

    I think you can feed more than two, but there is a balance question. The side with 2 SWMs will be half as strong as the side with one. I'm not sure what effect that would have. Somebody check me on that more than 2 SWMs is OK.

    Splitting 5LNB into SWM8 & 6x8

    Yes I would repeat the "official" answer of no, that diplexing into SWM lines is not recommended by D*. However, that doesn't mean it's not possible.

    SWM Slimline DIRECTV SWS8WB-P Switch/Multiplexer troubles

    I would guess that the cables might be the issue, especially if they are RG-59 (older type). To confirm that, you might try each H21 from one of the locations that works (the HR or the D12). That's all the help I can give. Good luck.

    SWM Slimline DIRECTV SWS8WB-P Switch/Multiplexer troubles

    How long are your cable runs to the H21's? If they are over 100', maybe the pulses from the H21s aren't getting back to the MS on the LNB?

    DirecTV - Tampa "move" to Miami?

    According to gct's transponder map, found elsewhere here on a sticky, FSFLHD is on D10 located at 103W, just like all the other FSN HD channels. So assuming that it gets sent on all spotbeams (as the other RSNs do) changing your service zip code to a Panthers-enabled zip should get you out...

    DirecTV - Tampa "move" to Miami?

    If skottey's main interest is the RSN, then the question we should be answering is: Do the feeds of Sunshine/FSFlorida that he is interested in arrive via CONUS satellite (which would be my guess) or as part of the Miami HD LiLs on their spotbeam? If skottey can get his Tampa locals via...

    Can I give OTA locals priority?

    You'd double-tap the Record button while on the OTA version of FOX in your guide. You'll see the multiple circle-R icon in the guide wherever House appears on that channel, and that one only.

    Rebates and Moving

    "Moving" may cause them to forget your rebate, but just call and remind them and they'll put it back on (and hopefully not do any other checking on your account).

    Local news KC goes HD

    It was pretty good, but they used a filter so soft on the anchors they looked like orange ghosts. Still, a big step in the right direction.

    Upgrade Old System to Receive 72.5 Sat

    I don't know if a 4x8 will work. Solid Signal suggests an Eagle Aspen MS-44D Multi-Sat 4x4 Multiswitch (MS44D), or if this product is not in stock it may be substituted with the Channel Master 6904IFD or Terk 4x4 switch (BMS-44). The diagram shows that you need to plug the cables from the 72.5...

    Upgrade Old System to Receive 72.5 Sat

    You can install the 72.5 yourself, once you have a receiver that is capable of handling it. Hook up the receiver directly to the single dish that you are aiming for 72.5. Set the signal meter on 101, but on an EVEN transponder, as that is what is used on 72.5. The receiver thinks it's looking...

    How do you record

    An interesting sidebar... I set a Manual Record to get the Det-NYY game from 12-4. I already had the StL-SD game programmed (3-6). PLUS, my wife has a season pass for Oprah (3-4). The HR20 did NOT return a conflict (since the two games overlapped on the same station, 73 ESPH) and the same...

    It's baaack!!!!

    Question: Am I correct that, without this switch, one cannot view programming from the 72.5 bird (extra dish) on a system with an HR20 and an AT-9 dish??? Can a Zinwell 6802 be used with the AT-9 if you aren't getting any programming from 99 or 103 right now anyway??? Never mind. I see...

    HR20 question

    You guys have evidently never tried watching two simulateneous sports events. What is great about 2 buffers is you can pause one game, watch another till a commercial, then pause that game and return to the first, catch up to live if you skip time between plays/pitches, return to 2nd tuner, ad...

    Does "moving" still work??

    Have you asked DirecTV for HD DNS? Phillipsburg may qualify. Then you would get the "big 4" on chs. 82, 84, 86, 88. Phillipsburg is not in the spot beam for either SD or HD Kansas City locals. If you have a good HD tuner and antenna, I'd try to pick up KGIN-DT 11.1 (RF 32) from near...

    Quick DNS question

    You may change your billing address online, but not your service address.

    Does "moving" still work??

    The Cincy spotbeam does not reach Georgia. So you would not get Cincy locals. However, you would get the Cincy regional sports network and would no longer be blacked out of Cincy teams' broadcasts.

    Silly Question - connecting DVD/VCR to 10-250

    Video connection: Either S-video or yellow cable from one of the outputs on the 10-250 to the inputs on DVD/VCR. Audio connection: White/red cables from one of the outputs on the 10-250 to the inputs on DVD/VCR. If this is connected correctly, then remember that the 10-250 must be set to...

    Newbie questions

    1. I don't think that D* will change this ability as we move to lease, but that's JMO. 2. HD TiVo comes with both HDMI and HDMI>DVI cables, as well as a set of RCAs. I don't know what comes with non-DVR receivers.

    An Afternoon Spent With the D* SV Tool

    Thanks for doing that research, MS. While I'd be even more interested if my market were on that list, it is very educational to see how some markets got lots of "bonus channels". I wonder how many of them are newer stations that were not around when the original list was compiled in the 70s.

    hartford/new haven now has neighboring locals

    Can the rest of us be far behind? Will they start with East Coast markets and work west, negotiating (fighting) with broadcasters tooth and nail all along the way? If so, they'll reach the Heartland in about, oh, 2009 at this rate...

    Vertical lines on DTV ch 647

    I checked last night on a different DVR and there were no lines on 647. Maybe it's certain pre-recorded programming?

    Vertical lines on DTV ch 647

    Yes, I've been seeing them for at least a month now, but haven't gotten around to complaining yet. I record Big 12 Showcase and some arena football on 647, it all has the lines.
