in theory, yes. that's what I thought too. but the support guys on the DirecTV.com boards said otherwise. I trust them better than my hunches :) Particularily because I'm new to D* - having formerly been a Dish customer for 11 years!

That was the first thing I tried (didn't work), but then it was explained to me: you can choose a different LNB in the set-up, but that doesn't change the LNB it's using. The receiver still recognizes the other LNB's are there, even if they're 'inactive' according to the receiver set-up. It's...

the solution - replacing the 5-lnb assembly with a 3-lnb assembly. I do not have line of sight of 119 - and even though I wasn't getting any programming from 119, the 'missing' satellite was causing issues with the receiver. MLB: EI games all show up as they should and the 920 error I had...

I ordered it early and paid it in a lump sum. It's shows on my account and *i believe* they removed it and put it back on several times when I called in.

Had this happen to me back in January (I was a new install). the solution was to place 50 feet of cable between the wall and the receiver. The installer said some receivers have an issue with the signal coming in too 'hot' from the LNB's, that the only known fix is to run it through all that...

I've done the online reauthorization and the CSR's have done it a few times too. Neither seem to work without a reboot and card-pull. One other piece to the equation (which the guys at the DirecTV.com forum think might be the problem) is that I don't see the bird at 119 and occasionally get...

600's are fine (MASN in my area) even when the 700's are showing the black screen.

from the receiver to the tv? no difference. Not sure what that'd do, though. these 700 (MLBEI) channels are the only ones with problems. Everything else is fine.

My area is claimed by Washington, Baltimore, Philly, & Pittsburgh! Sometimes I'm surprised I can watch anything :confused: Good thing I'm not a fan of any of the local teams!

receiver: hd-dvr, HR-21(700) I reset it every day - that's the problem. It works after a red-button reset and a card pull. But something happens in the ensuing 24 hours that causes the channels to show nothing but black the next day. Until I do another red-button reset and card pull.

I'm guessing this is an isolated thing with me - drat..... :confused:

how do you make that request?

Don't worry, this isn't a blackout issue.... Well, actually to be more specific, it is. Every day when I tune to the MLB:EI channels, I get a black screen. No warning that the game is blacked out, no missing signal error, no error codes - just a black screen. For HD and SD channels. I...

As a follow-up to my initial posting about the 50ft of coax - the every night phenomenon of an 'error 771' is gone. I do, however, occasionally still get the 771 but it's random and I haven't figured out a common factor to the occurrences yet (probably happens once a week). What's more...

hr-21 I've seen posts here and there about the signal 2 problem but no one ever came up with an explanation or problem. And hearing the installer say the signal was 'too strong' was a little surprising - it never occurred to me that that'd ever be a problem. 12 years as a E* sub and and I...

I had a similar problem with my hr-21 last week. It seemed to take a few days for the receiver to parse through the guide data and figure out what it was going to record. Hopefully time solves the problem for you.

all right - here's something that may (or may not) work for you. I'm a new sub and every night since the install date, I'd get error 771 on certain channels, saying it was searching for a signal on tuner 2. I finally called D* on Friday. They had me check all my signal levels and they...

Also - I had read on a directv.com forum that if you're connected through the s-video jack that it can sometimes cause this error to happen. I disconnected my s-video and it worked fine the rest of the evening. but I've seen the issue crop up again as recently as last evening around 11pm

same problem here and my install is only a week old. It mostly happens after dark and is fine during the day

also, if you're a AAA member, you get an additional $10 off a month for 24 months (in addition to DirecTV's normal incentives)

I run everything through a Yamaha Receiver (for home theater purposes, ya know?), so that shouldn't be a problem. There's a zillion connectors on the back of that thing - ha Rad - thanks for the quick response.

Just making sure I got my bases covered here - making the switch from E* to D* have one (SD) tv in the house - will be moving to HD in a month or two ordered an HD-DVR in anticipation of the new tv. in the meantime, will there be any compatibility problems between the HD-DVR and the SD tv...

this is a little off-topic, but i'm the topic starter. so i'll talk about the rain in Spain if i wanna - ha. and i feel like i know you guys :) a few newbie questions about D*: - what are the main satellite positions that a d* looks at, 101, 110, 119? - does D* charge a monthly fee for extra...

I'm not a Tivo fan, so I'll jump on board before that happens.

oh really?! I need to do a little searching around :cool: The DirecTv DVR's are NOT tivo dvr's anymore, correct?
