With the SWM switch you can split using a standard splitter. However, the SWM switch will need power going to it so you will need a power passing splitter with the power inserter connected to the power passing side. However, can you insert a standard CATV signal through that splitter? I think...

I live in SoCal and I'm not sure what the company was. I know they used to be called Mountain Satellite but it may have changed. It went pretty quick. I had a HR23 and a H20 installed which I had already prewired. I need to go through and check my signals on the 99 and 103 and figure out why...

I miss Call 4 Help and The Screensavers. It was good entertainment for us computer nerds. :( Oh, BTW, I got a HR23 when I ordered through DirecTV. However, it's dependent on what the HSP has in stock.

So, I had my HR23 and H21 installed today so I am no longer a Dish customer. I am enjoying the receivers so far. It would be nice to have DVR capability in the second room without paying the extra receiver fee but we all have to make sacrifices. I got a better deal with the $23 off for 12 months...

Go Chargers!

What's even worth watching on KCOP anyways?

Dodger games are also in HD. Some times I will sneak a peak OTA.

The LO is a fixed frequency on DirecTV and Dishnetwork. However, on FTA systems you can have LNB's with multiple LO's for wideband reception. This is where the tone comes in on an FTA system. Generally on a DirecTV or Dishnetwork system, 22kHz switching is used. Sometimes used on FTA systems as...

A combination of a 22kHz tone and a certain voltage are used to select which band the LNB's LO (Local Oscillator) is tuned to and which polarization it uses. Specifically the tone selects which band the LO switches to and the voltage controls which polarization whether it be Horizontal or...

oooo, D* is looking better every day. Now I can toss out my OTA antenna and switch to DirecTV! Not that I watch those channels much anyways, except for Baseball games.

Fortunately, my DMA is Los Angeles. I can get the standard locals in HD on Dish, I can also get CW and MY in HD on OTA, which is not a big deal to me as I only watch CW every once in a while if my friend's force me to watch a Dodgers game *cringe*

I understand the issues some people have. But, face it. DirecTV is in the business to sell Satellite TV service, not OTA service. If they can save a few bucks by killing the OTA tuner then that's good business for them. For the few percentage of those who absolutely need OTA, just spend the...

I take it you are using the CATV Coaxial out? Having the antenna so close would indeed cause interference. I recommend using ferrite beads on your TV Out Coax to keep that signal out.

Even if the frequency of the Ku band signal falls on the same harmonic as your neighbors Ham/CB frequency it is unlikely that it is causing interference. I operate my transceiver at 100 Watts output and my antenna is right above my dish. I have never had a problem. I use a di-pole wire antenna...

You don't need 3 coax runs for OTA + 2 sat feeds. That's what Diplexers are for. I would recommend running 4 coax cables to each room. 2 cables on walls opposite from each other. I recommend running 4 CAT6 cables in the same manner. You can use the CAT6 for either voice or data. Just make sure...

I just saw the commercial on TNT-HD. So much for settling eh?

That's all I needed to know. Thanks for the info. I guess I will have to pay them $270 and give them all their equipment back. Maybe I can convince the management to some how get a dish for the whole complex. Hell I'd pay for it myself. All the equipment would cost as much as the cancellation fee.

I was just wondering if anyone else had a similar experience.

I'm going to be moving to a new apartment in less than a month and I have already picked the apartment that I want. It's close to the pool/laundry room. The perfect room. The only problem is that my balcony/windows face towards the North. The management will not allow a dish to be mounted to the...

www.directvcashback.com for the $150 cash back offer. It will show if you are qualified after putting in your zip code and you meet the dates which I believe that you do. I will be sending my $150 cash back redemption form tomorrow. Also, for the free iPod you have to send them $19.95 for...

So I called back and they are still giving me the run around. I told them to cancel my service and they told me I would have to pay a $275 fee. I'm not even two weeks in to my contract and they are going to force me to pay $275 for something that's not even working the way it should be!? That's...

I recently got my R15 and D11 installed as a new customer. I had the usual R15 issues and called retention because I am either going to get a HD-DVR for free or on the cheap side or I'm going to cancel and go with Dish and get a 625 dvr from them. Anyways, I explained the issues to this lady and...

You should be able to install the HR20 yourself, as long as you have two satellite cables available. If not you will need to have another one ran. The cost of paying someone to do it vs buying the tools and hardware to do it yourself will probably be about the same. You must return the R15 and...

another option i see is to get a 2" pole long enough to come from the ground up above the roof then you can clamp it to the fascia to give it stability.
