    Hello Guys I was just upgraded for free from HR20 to HR21-700 and had a ton of stuff on my old HR20. Is there a way to "send" all of those programs to my other DVR. Im pretty technical when it comes to riggin something up to make it work but wanted to keep from swapping hard drives. Not even...

    What will my HR10-250 get with the HD access?

    Well Im getting the run around. Called D* to let Movers Connection add new equipment to my new house as well as upgrade from the HR10-250. After waiting 2 weeks at new house to get D* (installers are backed up). I get an H-20 with no DVR. Called and complained and was told that the DVR I...

    How much would you pay?

    As a Sunday ticket subscriber for 6 years I have put up with alot of crap with Directv and Sunday Ticket. It gets better with each passing year but still isn't heaven in a box. My most rescent issue would be with Blackouts and market shares. That's not why I really started this thread though...

    Question. Settle an argument.

    Saying that you cant use RG-59 for satellite viewing is like saying you cant hook up your speakers with lamp cord. If it carries an electric currant it will display a picture. Use a cut up extension cord if you want. My suggestion would be to go with the RG-6 if you are running new wire. If...

    D* in Hawaii

    Aloha Sorry to say that while I am a loyal directv fan and I think everyone should use them. I say you should stick with Dish. Directv doesn't even offer local channels in your area. Dish does have your locals though. If you are only in it for the HD programming try Voom and see what you...

    Tricks to get local affiliate to grant a waiver.

    This is starting to tick me off. I finally got local from D* about 3 weeks ago and they have yet to add ABC. I am unable to get a wiaver from the local station and I have already stopped paying my $50 a month cable bill. I am happy to stop paying for bith cable and D*. But after giving D* $200...

    Question about Tivo

    You wont be able to split the Directv signal coming in. However you only need 2 cables still. You can use a diplexer to split your Directv signal and OTA. Basically you send your D* signal and OTA signal down the same line. Then when you power off your Tivo you will have a picture from your OTA...

    Sunday Ticket Question

    So I guess the letter of complaint needs to go to Paul Tagliabu? I wish thing were the way they were last year. Everything was soo much better. Does anyone know of a website that can play football games over the internet? I mean we can put a man on the moon and cure cancer but I can't...

    Sunday Ticket Question

    This is complete bull****. When D* signed me back up fo ST they didn't say a change in rules will apply. They are screwing alot of people. I read that a customer was able to get a $1.50 credit on his bill. I plan on keeping track of everygame and demanding a credit in the full amount. For me...

    What is Wrong with D*

    Directv does not offer local channels in my area. I have had NFLST for the last 5 years and this is the first time they have blocked out games. I live in Texas and am unable to recieve the Bucs/Redskins game and the Texans/Chargers game. I can't get through on the phone lines. I can't watch...

    Trying to figure out what spot beam...

    Well I guess I screwed up. I called and switched my address to an address which recieves Dallas Local Channels. The address was to my folks house. Everything went great for about 4 hours. All of the sudden I get a message that I need to call Directv for porgramming. (You know EXT. 721). After...

    Phase III transponder signal strength

    OK Now I can breath again as I have made progress in tracing this problem. I took the terk antenna off the dish and just for grins I replaced the dish with another I had never taken out of the box. This had a new dual LNB as well. First I ran off my new Dual LNB to the multiswitch. Still had...

    Trying to figure out what spot beam...

    Thanks guys I could care less where the bill is sent. I pay on-line anyway. The address would be for my folks house who are currently with Dish. I will place a call later today and hope for the best. Thanks again SS

    Trying to figure out what spot beam...

    I placed a call to a local installer. (Anonymously) He claimed that it wouldn't work because Directv can tell where the satellite is pointing. And where my feed is coming from. Is this true? Have other people gotten away with it? SS

    Phase III transponder signal strength

    Heres the thing. I have ran directly off the dual LNB on my dish and there is no trouble. However this is only true if running both to a single rieceiver. I am starting to believe that there is something to do with the TERK OTA antenna I have. If I bypass this and the multiswitch then I am...

    newbie question about roof

    I have had Directv for years and after several moves and a new roof myself I feel qualified to answer your question. You will have to move a the satellite when they begin work on your roof. No big deal really. When my roof was being replaced I mounted the dish to a piece of 2'x2' plywood and...

    Trying to figure out what spot beam...

    O.K. Guys I live in Central Texas (No Locals yet (soon)) I have been suffering for years over this problem. I can get the local OTA but not through Directv. I am able with an aftermarket antenna to pick up Dallas broadcasts better than my local channels. According to the maps I am in the...

    Phase III transponder signal strength

    I have now tried a few of the solutions you described. I found (1) that my mulitswitch was no longer being ground. (Darn Lawnmower). I made sure it was getting contact now. Still problem persists. I ran a cable from the multiswitch the the reciever and total lenght is 25 feet. Still persists. I...
