    Install Signal problem D12 versus new HR24

    Has the OP ever stated he has a Slimline dish? The only thing I see is the D12 was set for slimline, I don't think that means the dish was ever aimed for the Ka birds and the D12 may have worked with a round dish seeing it was never looking for anything except a 101 signal.

    Direct or Dish, can someone hook me up

    Sounds like you are looking for illegal subscription. If that is not the case call DISH or Directv directly pass their credit check and they will sign you up.

    Please help!!! Bought sir-ts360 no access card, live in canada

    I don't know either, I had a card in mine and it was married to that receiver but I had other OTA tuners that worked better. For upscaling I have no idea how he plans on doing it, memory says OTA analog and digital were the only thing it would process.

    Please help!!! Bought sir-ts360 no access card, live in canada

    I don't even have a 360 anymore I trashed it years ago, it wasn't worth anything. Even if you need an access card to get into the menu I don't think you can use it. You are right it did have an ATSC tuner.

    New install mounting

    Biggest problem is "C" Band usually mounted on a 3-4" pipe Directv mounts on a 2" pipe so you will need sometype of adapter to mount the dish on. Secondly you will need to bury new cable from the existing dish pole to the house usually with a $ charge per foot. You really need to make sure...

    Texas Tax Surcharge

    I got my online DISH statement for July and they added a tax surcharge on it. Has anyone gotten a surcharge on their Directv bill? Seeing the Texas legislature hasn't met since June 2011 and won't meet until 2013 I am wondering where the charge came from? DISH has added a $1 usage fee to...

    Which dish do I need?

    The 3 LNB and the 5 LNB use the same Slimline dish pan the only thing changing is the LNB assembly. The 3 LNB and the 5 LNB and the SWM3 and 5 are just different LNB assemblies on the same dish. If D* is upgrading you they will install the correct equipment for your system.

    My H23-600 went bad...

    As long as you are leasing from Directv a H20/H21/H23/H24 and now a H25 are all the same units the last 3 numbers just designate who manufactured the unit. The H designates it is a High Definition receiver without recording capabilities.

    changed IRDs and now all HD not coming in, help?

    First the AM21 is the OTA tuner for the HR22 you would just connect the OTA and the HR22 to the AM21 so your swapping wasn't necessary. If the "slimline" at your fathers has 3 LNBs it is a Slimline 5 not a three so you need to change the setup to 5LNB with multiswitch. You could swap the...

Depending on the age of your receivers you may need new cards, Directv does charge $20 for new cards. Directv also knows when you add a card/receiver because until they activate the card/receiver it...

    Op claims it came from a big box store, so not stolen property. Will 100,200 & 500 display without a card in the receiver? Seeing the access card is missing out of the box maybe it was activated in another receiver..
