    Local Channels 119 Shutoff?

    The only thing received was the info banner for WOWK CBS 13 for the Nexstar dispute. The channels showed up in the guide. When trying to tune to one of the channels it just comes up blank with no error messages. I tried receiver reset with no change. Only one transponder on 119 read 0 which I...

    Local Channels 119 Shutoff?

    Have all the local channels been taken off of 119? A friend had a phase 3 dish for a long time and just lost the local channels this past week in the Charleston/Huntington WV DMA. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    SWM lnb types

    What if multiple receivers would be needed in an MDU environment such as a hotel that can be connected to splitters and switches? Which lnbs would work in those cases? I may want to make sure if I get some in bulk that it will work for different situations. I occasionally am called to replace...

    SWM lnb types

    What is the difference between the different Directv SWM lnb types such as sl3s4nr2-14 sl3s4nr5-01 3D1LNBR0-01 3D2LNBR0-01 3D2RBLNBR0-14 (reverse band?) and which ones will work for the markets that only require the Sl3 lnb for just a standard slimline setup to a single tuner receiver?

    4K will probably be mainly streaming with Directv since streaming is where Directv ATT is going anyways Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys

    Promotions

    I warn people about AT&T Directv offers and billing to those that switched from Dish to Directv recently because of their promotional offers. I feel sorry for them. Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys

    Directv Dishes

    I have one of those dishes that I have kept inside my building for years. I wonder if there is still a use for it since everything went slimline these days. Sent from my iPhone using the SatelliteGuys app!

    AT&T drops DirecTV and U-verse prices, looks to slow declines

    If they came out with an offer or a separate company offering a deal where the programming was cheaper just like back in the c band days but make the customer pay for their own equipment and installation then they could drop the price a bit on the programming lowering their overhead. The cell...

    DirecTV fires Installers

    There is more than just the cost of the satellites in space and getting them there. There is the cost of sending out the installers to the home, cost of that dish, receiver, wiring, the retailer's commissions and upkeep of all of that equipment at the home. That cost does not exist at all for...

    Directv Now free HBO for a year

    Big reason I have not went with the IPTV. No local channels. The reason used to also be no DVR but PSVue has that and Dish soon to release it.

    Commercial Job - Pixellation on ESPN (206) and ESPN 2 (209)

    I have a Super Buddy 29. Signal strengths appear to be good on all the satellites. The LNB used is an SL5K. I'm supposed to go back out tomorrow to check those things out.

    There's adjustment screws in the amplifier so maybe it needs turned down. These are HD boxes. There are also tru spec taps in each room rates for 1000 MHz model number DCWG 12 that look like they been there for a while..

    Commercial Job - Pixellation on ESPN (206) and ESPN 2 (209)

    I am doing a service call on a commercial job and have heavy pixellation on ESPN and ESPN 2 and noticed satellite 99 (ca) transponder 23 signal dropping in and out. Are ESPN and ESPN 2 coming in on 99? The other transponders on that satellite and the other satellites do not have these issues...

    Shut off my service, now...

    I am tired of paying $135 for tv especially when it includes no movie channels and another $5 price hike next month. Tried to see if Dish would work with me and they offered absolutely nothing in the way of discounts. They just offered the flex packs. That would save a lot but I feel that a...

    Another super awesome install

    Reminds me of several installs that I have done in which others have said no signal. I had to go out of my way on a few though. Some installers are just lazy.

    AT&T is offering unlimited data for DirecTV subscribers

    No tethering and no hot spot kills it for me too. I like to hotspot from my iPhone to my tablet at times when I am out and about. Not only that, Dish has the better DVR in my opinion anyways. If Directv gets a DVR as good as Dish and can offer the tethering and hotspot included with unlimited...

    Does DirecTV have an answer to Hopper3/HopperGo?

    So let me get this straight. A tuner can only receive one transponder at a time? If you have a 4K channel it takes more than one transponder? If they could compress the 4K channel into one transponder then would that still net them 16 4K channels being a possibility? I also don't know why...

    Does DirecTV have an answer to Hopper3/HopperGo?

    Only needing two tuners is just like a quote many thought Bill Gates said "640K is more memory than anyone will ever need on a computer,"

    AT&T To KEEP the DIRECTV Name

    I think this was a good decision on them keeping the DirecTV name.

    DirecTV to Offer Live 4K in Early 2016

    Hopefully it's not a typo with Lite 4K instead of Live 4K.

    DirecTV to Offer Live 4K in Early 2016

    Some may notice a difference between 4K and 1080p (maybe more so because it's really 720p not 1080p with what most broadcast the content as). But when 8k rolls out then there won't really be a difference that we will be able to see unless we are going to the roll out screens on the walls that...
