Thank you.....that was very informative! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow! Seems like a lot of addons & probably more charges on the monthly bill. Might as well get the service tech to do a hardwire. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello! Finally taking the plunge & upgrading to a Genie from our old HR23-700. Have no wiring to basement where we'd like to relocate the HR23. Will either of the above connect wirelessly using a Genie mini client. I've read that a video bridge might be needed as well. What addons do I need...

Looked on Lyngsat, but it looks like they have not updated their database. Can someone confirm that the Fox Soccer Channel (621) is on 101°W Directv 4S/8 Satellite. Thank you!

Bump.......just wanted to revive this thread to see if anyone knew of a Directv address where I can send this bad receiver to.

Well, I didn't know that my thread had led to more discussion. Anyways, it seems that Directv is not budging as far as having to send a service technician out, even though it is certain that my HR24-500's Tuner1 is dead. All the CSR's that I talked to said that because I am getting an error...

Well I called DirecTV and the customer service person that answered said that because it was a 771 "searching for satellite" error message, their policy is to send a service technician out to verify the problem and then swap my defective receiver with a working one :( Can anyone recommend a...

When I phone DirecTV, what department should I talk to?

I was thinking of doing just that BUT wouldn't they send a serviceman to dropoff & install the replacement receiver?

BTW my multiswitch is a Zinwell WB-68.

Yes, did swapping of leads, cables & BBC's. Tuner 1 definitely "goners" :( I have a Slimline 5 + 95 degree (international satellite) configuration which has been working fine for 5 years without a hiccup with my HR22 :)

Hi all. It's been a while but I'm glad to be back. So I have this near new unit that I can't return cuz I'm a cross-border subscriber with a U.S. address; too much hassle. I've discovered thru many tests that Tuner 1 is dead. I would just like to ask (before I open this baby) if anyone knows...

Awesome! Just called and they reset to default no problems! Thanks!

Is there a way to reset the password OR do I have to call in to DirecTV to reset it for me? Thanks in advance to those who reply!

Am I doing the right steps to align my SL3 Slimline Dish? I just recently installed an Eagle Aspen SL3PIG-P LNB with a Slimline Dish for an HR20-700 Receiver. Please kindly review the steps that I have taken to peak signals coming from 99c, 101, 103ca and 103cb and let me know what I've...

Refine as per your advice but only getting hi 20s to low 30s on 99c, mid 50s for 103ca, 0s for 103cb and hi 50s to low 60s for 101. Mast is plumb with bubble in small circle at level in top of mast. Would having RG59 cable as opposed to RG6 cable be a probable reason for poor signal strength...

Hi All, I've installed a couple of Slimelines with an SL5 before but it's my 1st time doing one with an Eagle Aspen SL3PIG-P LNB. I'm sure I've got the dish peaked cuz I'm getting 80s to 90s across the board on 103 and 101. However I get 0 on any of the 99c transponders......weird! I...

Hi everyone! I haven't been here for awhile. I am planning to help my friend order the proper LNB/Antenna combination for his HR22-100 receiver. He has only 1 wire running into the house from where his existing DTV dish is located. So it looks like the SL3-SWM would fit the bill in...

Thanks Iceberg. You're DA MAN!!! :bow Happy New Year!!!

Hi guys. I'm just wondering whether a KU Linear LNB with an LO of 9.75/10.6 GHz will work for International channels on 95°. I have configured one with LO of 10.750 GHz no problem, but this new one I'm trying to setup is much smaller and weighs a lot less :) I've done this many times...

Spoke too soon :( It seems that the 95° is the one creating all these problems. Looks like the satellite signal strength is coming in strong, but no guide info is coming down from the satellite. Damn DTV :mad:

Problem solved! Did the Serial PPP connection and dialed-out successfully. Restarted TiVo and had to do dish configuration all over to include 95° with the other 3 sats. What a pain! So, do I have to do this after every month? :confused:

Woke up this morning to watch my TiVo and setup recordings of the World Cup games today only to find out that my HR10-250 was stuck in an endless loop trying to "acquire info from the satellites". Once it got to about 60%, it would say "The Recorder is unable to acquire information from the...

Right, I did some more research and found out that the Zinwell 4402 will work for 101° and 119°. Maybe I'll just try that first before I dive in and buy a Phase III dish. http://www.summitsource.com/product_info.php?products_id=5958

I currently have an 18" aimed at 101° and my Winegard 30" on an SG2100 motor which I can maneuver to any satellite, but is normally parked at 95° for the international service I subscribe to. I also use an Invacom Quad LNB that has 2 outputs each for Linear and Circular. I was wondering if...
