Good thing I'm not affraid to work on it myself. I'm glad that I opted for a pole mount! C'mon clear skies, I need to fix my dish before D10 is repaired!

I've been getting upper 70s to mid 80s on all 103 CONUS transponders. Looks like I need to re-point my dish. At what signal strength would D* send a tech to re-point my dish for free, if at all? At least this explains the increased rain fade I've been experiencing.

Strange thing for me... I had been running Windows 7 Pro and could never get playback to work due to a problem with the HDCP error for Audio. Two things have changed: Microsoft was kind enough to give me Ultimate for free and an Nvidia video driver update. Wish I could figure out which one was...

Don't quote me, but I think the specs say that you can't go past 150' (Un-amplified) from switch to device. Beyond that, check your frequencies on the AMPs to ensure they hit the full spectrum up to 2.4 GHz as I believe the data channel resides way up there. For more definite answers, try...

You only need to point to 101 which has all of the SD channels on it. Of course, this does possibly exclude your locals.

If I recall... Usually June/July starts the Sunday Ticket. If you're a AAA member, there is a thread for you, otherwise you're best trying to negotiate with several CSRs until you get the best deal.

Nice read. How do I get one of those for my basement?

I believe the cap for VZW is 5 Gb. We use VZW for our emergency data plan at work.

What box and software version are you using? I'm still as sluggish as ever on my HR21-700 running CEs.

I doubt it a sticky will be used, unless there is a large amount of channels added in one day. Typically, a thread will be created and be glued to the top because so many people will be responding with their 2 cents.

Since that is the only receiver, you may have just received a bad one. I assume that you have already done this... I would confirm you have set it up correctly. Make sure you have the power inserter installed as depicted in your documentation. If all else fails, it's time for a phone call to...

How many receivers are you using? If you have a SWM3 installed, you only have 3 SWM channels available. This means only 1 DVR and another single tuner receiver will work. You might need to switch to a SWM5 or SWM8 setup if you have multiple DVRs in the house.

Sounds like a defective panel. You can try using the dimming option... press the Left and Right buttons on the front panel at the same time a few times to see if the blue ring lights up or not.

See my response in your other thread - Here BTW, :welcome

Not all transponders are active on each satellite. The transponder grid just shows possible signals which are typically split between multiple satellites orbiting close to each other. Depending on the box and software, N/A should be shown on a transponder that is not used. If you have the...

Definitely, I can't tell you what code I put in though. Functions that work for sure: Power, Play, Stop, FFW, RW, Pause, Directional Keys, OK (A), Exit (B). Other buttons might work; however, I have no need since I just is it to stream video from my computer.

You are able to acquire new receivers, however I would guess that you can't have it shipped to the Bahama's right off. You will also need a new dish that is able to see the 99 and 103 satellites. When you call to activate your receivers, you just need to tell them to activate HD service for 9.99...

The local on the 8s should load automatically if you are on the SD channel. You do need to be on the channel a minute or so early though as it can't buffer fast enough to go on the fly. There is talk about it going HD in the future. If you are using an HD box, make sure Hide SD Duplicates...

Good point. Strike that from my recommendation then. I'm used to being in my role where supervisors are still expected to work with clients.

You didn't say whether you are getting an HD setup, if so, the dish is larger and requires more support. Pole installs are $75 in my area (just had one put in) but of course. I believe the free install includes run up to 100', any more you pay for. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any DirecTV...

WHIO-DT2 in Dayton, OH still does not work. I restarted my receiver a few times over the weekend and ran the Antenna setup as well. Still 771, even though signal strength shows 90+%. EDIT: After some digging, the station is broadcast from 41-2 and mapped to the virtual channel 7-2. Obviously...

I am not an installer, but from what I have gathered, you should not need any special rig as you would put the Accutrac in line with the dish before it meets the SWM8. Hop over to the Installer forum and give them a shout for a faster answer.

To answer your questions... 1) The newer dishes use a 2" pole; however, I've seen them installed on the 1 5/8" 2) More than likely (assuming availability) you will receive a 6x8 multiswitch to handle the 6 tuners your 3 dvrs will have. You will need at least 1 more line ran into the house in...

D* will replace the unit with a replacement (shipping) charge which falls below 29.99. You can opt for the warranty coverage of $5/mo. which they waive the replacement (shipping) charge, plus provide on site support for certain issues.
