    DirecTV Retransmission Consent Dispute with Raycom

    Based on my zip, 44041, I am not eligible for DNS from NY or LA because D* provides local channels in my market. If they are unable to offer the local affiliate, and I am out of reception range of the CBS channel, will they then be able to offer my the NY and or LA feed, for a fee? If not...

    can a SWiM 16 be mounted outside

    The dish is on a pole about 25 away from the house. There are 2 cables running from the dish to the house. (Only one is currently being used). I was just trying to see if there was a way to upgrade without me having to trench another 25 feet of dual cable. (I buried the cable the last time so...

    At the pole? Or does it need to be inside the home, protected from the elements?

    DVR conrtol responsivness on Genie Mini Client

    How well do the DVR controls respond on a Genie Mini Client? In particular I am interested to see if they are any better than an H24 using MRV (which IMHO is clunky and not very responsive). Thanks.

    Anyone else watching Empire Strikes Back on Spike and noticing the audio is not synced with the video. It is like watching a Godzila movie.

    DirecTV May Fight Retrans Fees with Antennas

    VHF Lo is VERY susceptible to electrical interference. Not such a problem with analog, you just see sparkles on the screen. With digital it will cause the tuner to loose the lock on the signal.

    use wired cck and decas without DirecTv service

    I have been using a wired CCK and DECAs to supply internet connections to the other rooms in my house. Will this technology will work without active DirecTv service? Since the DECAs won't get power without a receiver can I substitute wired CCKs for them? One wired CCK connected to my router and...

    DirecTV May Fight Retrans Fees with Antennas

    I wouldn't be surprised to find broadcasters sabotaging their own OTA signals during fee fights to force viewers to switch providers due to an inability to receive an OTA signal. "Technical problems have caused us to operate at reduced power while our, engineers work on fixing the problem"

    DirecTV May Fight Retrans Fees with Antennas

    Most broadcasters have cheaped out on their transmitting facilities so that those that are more than about 20 miles away will be forced or compelled to subscribe to a provider that pays them a retransmission fee. Compare the ability that the public had to receive analog signals to the current...

    any way to get FF and 30 sec slip to work better via MRV

    It really does make the MRV experience better. Slip is very clumsy via MRV SKIP is much smoother.

    any way to get FF and 30 sec slip to work better via MRV

    Doesn't seem to have an effect while watching it via MRV. I still see it moving forward in a clumsy manor. I can still see images in the 30 seconds like in slip. When I watch it on the HR I see it Skip not slip. Do I need to do something to the H24 so that it will skip with that box?

    any way to get FF and 30 sec slip to work better via MRV

    The FF and 30sec FF features are not as responsive when using MRV compared to viewing using the actual DVR. When I watch a show on my H24 using MRV from my HR24 the response to the FF and 30 sec FF seem clunky. Any way to improve it? Are there settings I can change?

    AM21 with HR44

    I see that the HR44 has a different power cord than the rest of the DirecTv receivers. Does that cause a problem with the power pass thru on the AM21?

    Out of market MLB games via $7 Sport package

    Back when I had E*, if you had the Multi Sport package, and the MLB game ran longer than the time aloted for it in the guide, the channel became available, and you were able to enjoy the end of the game. Is that the case with D* too, or do they black out the game for the entire duration of it...
