Call me crazy, but I've noticed a few times recently where DirecTV has somehow managed to inject local ads into national network commercial breaks, something I've only seen from regional cable operators. Anyone know how this works?

Does anyone have any information on what's involved as far as receiver setup when it comes to swapping out a regular SL3 LNB with a SWM LNB? I know about the new LNB and the power inserter, but do I need to do anything to the receiver? I remember seeing a training video on how to configure your...

Trust me, I've got the DVR set for curling...I'm a third shifter though, and we only get to pick from CNN HD, Fox News HD, and MSNBC notsoHD

I think everyone is missing the point here...not only are we missing hockey in HD, but we're missing the daily 3am showing CURLING in HD!!!

I agree on the deeper playlists as well....for those of us who had XM before XM and Sirius merged, you know what I mean. I miss Fred Lucy and Ethel, and at least these SonicTap channels seem to bring some of that deepness back to my alternative needs.

Not to sound high and mighty, but the quality of XM on DirecTV was a LOT better than you will receive on any home unit. I think you'll be very disappointed.

Have you searched up and down your RSN's for alternate channels for your provider? When I lived in Indiana, I received FSN Midwest, which occasionally showed blacked out Cincinnati Reds games. HOWEVER, because I was in Reds territory, I would always receive Reds games on one of the alternate...

They're offering 'high quality' live streaming coverage at America's Cup TV - 33rd America's Cup And from America's Cup website... "With less than two weeks until the first races of the 33rd America’s Cup, a massive TV broadcast reach has already been secured which should ensure that the...

When I lived in an apartment, I had a ka/ku slimline 3 mounted on a tripod, which was 'anchored' with six cement blocks. It sat on my balcony for two years without any issue. Granted, it was definitely a DIY job, but it got wind/snow/rain and I didn't have any problems. It hovered right around...

I enjoyed the XM channels, but it certainly isn't enough reason for me to jump ship. I have SiriXM in my car, so having a different music provider indoors will just widen my listening!

thanks for the heads up! i didn't know they weren't going to show it in the US...this is one of the few obscure sporting events I really enjoyed watching

H21 here...In the past few months I've definitely noticed audio dropouts and short term distorted sound on the XM audio channels. I always assumed it was because I pointed my dish myself, but I have signal levels in the mid 90s, so who knows... ....fortunately I guess I won't have to deal with...

If I could eat my words, I WOULD!! I've only lived in Cleveland for a few weeks now...The sun came out for the first time all week. All of that dry fluffy snow turned to packed, wet, heavy melty snow on the reflector, and BOOM, I literally was watching my HD go away. I put some shoes on and...

My tripod mounted slimline 3 is partially under a snow drift right now, with the LNB and reflector completely coated in snow...I'm still getting mid 80's for everything, which is not enough for me to put on a pair of boots to go knock off the snow! Of course, it is extremely powdery snow...

You have to be careful about jokes around all these diehard nerds!!

I was just searching twitter for 'directv'. A few people said they had their locals back...I guess not!

The twitterverse is reporting the 119 locals are back. Anyone confirm?

Careful what you joke about....haha

119 seems fine here...I don't receive any locals from it though. Signal strength shows fine for me.

i can and have pointed the thing myself, that's not the hard part. Its the whole climbing up on the roof and mounting it so it can see above the tree line that I don't want to do...if nothing more than the fact that I don't have a ladder that will reach my roof... ...The service industry...

every party has a pooper that's why we invited you...

may I remind you that paying someone to mount a satellite dish for me breaks no laws, agreements, terms of service, etc...

"Summer cottage" was just a euphemism....I'll be where I need install help in a little over a week.

Actually it'll be in Cleveland! I hardly think $100 is worth the drive...

I point the dish myself normally, on a tripod mount. Trees are getting bigger and its harder to get a signal from the ground in my back yard. Thanks for the tip.
