Thanks guys!

I'm getting the new 5 lnb dish installed and need to know the footprint dimentions for the mounting arm. I know it's bigger than the old dishs and have to build a new backer board before the install guys get here. I have limited space where this can be mounted so I need to be as percise as...

I agree you need a minimum of 2 coax and 1 cat5 to each of your locations in the basement. All Home runned to your distribution point. 3 Coax would be recommended if you are planning a tivo and possible OTA, although you could get away with 2 coax and Diplexers, but I would stick to 3 coax...

Why not get a true universal learning remote like the home theater master mx-850. That will solve all problems.

Try Home Depot if you have one in the area. 500' runs about $35.00.

I finally got a reasonable responce from Directv.. "Dear Steve, Thank you for writing back.Our Broadcast department is aware of this problem with the Milwaukee local channels, and are working to correct this as soon as possible. We expect to have this issue corrected very soon. We...

The Olympics were a mess last night.... I was trying to watch the snowboards. Everytime a quick action shot happens... bang.. freeze.... audio still on... pic comes back in 1-30 seconds.

you're not the only one. Even Directv's own forum has the problems posted.... and nobody is getting an answer.. All Forums > DIRECTV Receiver Technical Support & Troubleshooting > Topic Search Discussion Forums Show posts from least recent to most recent Show posts from...

It's amazing that D* lets anyone represent them. Guess those who get installs done just have to hope and pray that the person that is coming out knows what a dish looks like at least!... wait til they ask you to borrow the ladder.... then watch out!!

Watch the full installation Video .. Takes about 10 minutes... https://retailer.directv.com/dws/content/ka_ku_system_sm.wmv

Great!!!.... so what 800# to call for this issue? Directv has given no responce to this issue after many emails and attempts at calling.

I have been installing Dirctv for 10 years now. All of my customers, friends, neighbors, etc are experiencing pictures freezing on only the local channels in Milwaukee. Picture either completely freezes or goes dark while the audio continues to stream perfectly. It's happening on all types of...

Accroding to the news this morning and the link below UPN and WB Tv will be combined into one station CW tv. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/25/business/25network.html

Same comment here... What wireless are you using? 802.11B I'm assuming? Just Upgrade to the the new 802.11G Even without the speedboost I'm networked at the full 54 Mbps. Which is faster than the Cable modem.

Anybody have a link to the switchover schedule for directv. I'm trying to get a feel on when Milwaukee, Wisconsin will start to get the new receivers and dishes.

This is only a personal opinion and not a factual answer, but my personal feeling on surge protecting a satellite signal is silly. If you system was installed correctly and properly grounded to meet NEC code you should be good to go. The only way I can see a surge into your coax that feeds your...

Yes the answer is Modulate the Video signal. If you are not using any other cable or off air signals then a simple channel 3 or 4 modulator would work. (an old VCR would work just fine instead of buying a separate modulator) any way about it you need to change the video signal to an RF signal...

First for the best picture quality you should not be watching through channel 3 anyways. You should at minimum have it connect via Composite video. Not Sure on you Vega model but it "should" also have component video inputs. If your receiver is HD and you have component input on the tv that is...

I use the Panasonic DMR-E80H. This unit has a 80 gig hard drive and DVD RW. You can record to the hard drive directly from you HD Box using the composite video outs. Works basically the same as Tivo without the monthly charges with the additional feature of being able to burn a permenant DVD if...

Try a Broker. I used Canamsatellites to receive Express VU in the United States and they offer the same service to Canadian residents that wish to have DirecTV. http://www.smalldish.com/ (dirictv in canada) http://www.canamsatellites.com/ (expressvu in United states)

Why do you need your TV/Monitor on while listening to music channels? Once and a while I'll pop the TV on if we are wondering the title/artist info, but other than that there is no reason do put any more hours on your TV than you have to. Tune to your station of choice and if you are wired...

Thats interesting!.... I'm a Directv Subscriber and getting the same message about UPN24 local in milwaukee, only the message is that "dish networks agreement is expiring on may31st and you will need to contact your local cable company or diretv to continue to recieve this channel"
