    I need a little help dealing with Equipment/CSR issues

    so the corporate office of Directv called me. He glossed over 90% of my email but he did understand my frustration. So tomorrow a tech will be out with a new HR34, and a SWIM LNB and Switch.

    Need Help Understading SWiM / Deca / Whole House DVR ETC.

    Long and short... Deca is not required for your current setup, however it is the only supported method, plain and simple if you hook it up with Ethernet it is unsupported. The remote units when released supposedly will require coax, it's their method of control. Download speed, capped by...

    No HD in the rain...

    Interesting, might want to make sure the dish is peaked properly. The difference between the 2 is KA and KU bands for transmissions... The SD one and a few of HD Nationals are on the "Stronger" of the 2 bands, and by stronger I mean if you look at a bell curve the "Stronger" ones have a more...
