    Intermittent Reception Issues

    Lately there have been issues with my directv reception on some particular channels. These have been ESPNHD, ESPN2HD, and my tampa bay area hd locals in which all seem to come from the 103 satellite per lyngsat. Pretty much its an issue with the 103 satellite. Every day around 5pm these...

    On Demand slow downloads

    Has anybody else been experiencing very slow downloads with directv's on demand service? It seems as though download are capped a 3mb/sec. I have my HR22 hardwired to my fios router with 25/15 mbps service. Any ideas to speed things up?

    FIOS and DirecTV on the same coax? Need help stacking and splitting.

    SWM still uses the same frequencies that MOCA does. SWM will greatly simply the installation of dual-tuner dvrs due to its lack of a need for 2 runs of coax per dvr. However, it still cannot be used to diplex directv and fios's MOCA on the same line. Either run a new coax line from the dish to...

    FIOS and DirecTV on the same coax? Need help stacking and splitting.

    Fios Unfortunately, the MOCA specification that verizon uses for data runs upwards of 1ghz, right in the middle of what directv uses regardless of where you place the b-band converter. Your best bet is to either run another piece of coax from either the ONT or dish to that room or run cat 5...

    Can you have one account for 3 separate buildings

    Technically speaking, you could have one account for two different locations across the country. In reality, directv has no idea where your receivers reside geographically, except if you have them plugged into a POTS telephone line. However, having many receivers spread across the United States...

    Weather Channel: Locals on the 8's

    IMO, it would probably just be for the entire DMA. It would take up waay to much bandwidth to send local on the 8's to thousands of small towns nationwide. But who knows. On my neighbor's fios, his local on the 8's come from Tampa, even though we live in Sarasota and comcast has its own local on...

    Diplexing will work as long as you install the b-band converter before the diplexor. See attached illustration

    Resetting a locked H20

    Sorry for taking so long to reply. I just called them and they reset it in like 5 seconds. I try to avoid calling them whenever possible, but sometimes you have to. They should have a tool in the account manager that could do this.

    Resetting a locked H20

    One of my kids was messing around with one of my H20's today and somehow managed to block every single channel. I have tried many passcodes to no avail, even simple ones like 0000, and 1111. I tried to factory reset the receiver and it said I needed a passcode to do this. Does anyone know the...

    local channels look like crap for sports.. so does it get better, ever?

    And what SD have you been watching? If it has been directv, then yes, sd really cannot be categorized as looking good, especially when compared to SD master broadcasts found in the C-BAND spectrum or any HD programming. It seems as thought you are using a set of crappy rabbit ears to view your...

    local channels look like crap for sports.. so does it get better, ever?

    Its not an SD vs HD issue. SD can look very good if little digital compression is used or if you are receiving a good analog signal. Directv is all digital and the compression varies from channel to channel. The national channels have been looking damn good lately. However, the locals look the...

    There is a new proposed bill that would allow you get next door TV markets on Directv

    This will be great if is happens. I only live like 10 miles from the border between the Tampa Bay and Fort Myers/Naples markets. I currently receive the Tampa locals but I do miss the fort myers locals that I used to get on comcast cable.

    Samsung 360 HD Box

    No, but when I opened up the case and powered it on, the clicking noise sounded like it was coming from either a transformer or a capacitor. I am currently looking for a replacement power supply but I can imagine that such an obscure item would be hard to find, especially for a specific...

    Multiswitch Question

    The auction I am looking at says that the WB68 switch is not cascadable. Is this true? I don't think so because it is designed for the KA/Ku which needs a 22khz tone passthrough to access the 110/119 satellites. Does this switch have 22khz passthrough?

    Samsung 360 HD Box

    The Same thing happened to mine. But I left it unplugged for about two weeks and went to plug it back in and it made repetitive clicking noises. I opened it up and they sounded like they were coming from the power supply.

    Multiswitch Question

    Is the Zinwell WideBand 6x8 switch that is supposed to be used for the Ka/Ku dish compatible with a PhaseIII dish? I can get ahold of one of these cheaper than a 4x8 on ebay.

    New 5nlb dish, old receivers?

    I don't think it was the dish, but Directv. I have been having the same problem on both my samsungs and my neighbors samsungs with the 3 lnb dish. I have even tried it with a single lnb dish and have had the same problem.

    R15 Series Link

    I have a question about the Series Link on my R15-300. I want to record all episodes of NOVA on pbs. I receive two local pbs's (Tampa Bay: 3 and 16). Whenever I set up the series link, It only records the episodes on the channel that I set the series link too. For example, I set it to record...
