We have had this same thread already. First install option? Satellite dish 2nd option, if NLOS, or dish not allowed, "directvnow" Everyone with high speed Internet who has a dish, use directvnow during rain. Who become the only people who cannot get directv? people with NLOS, And no high...

+1 YOU DON'T NEED ANY INTERNET FOR 4K. NONE. NONE AT ALL. If you sign up for 4k, and don't get a hr54 genie, MAKE THE DIPSHIT LEAVE.

That's the dumbest thing I've heard about 4k. You do Not need any Internet for 4k....at all. I've worked for mastec in the past and I still know people who do, for about 3 months now, they don't even get hr44s anymore. The company I work for hasn't gotten any hr44s since late June, just...

Or, you can get a h24/h25 for $99. DONT go mini, either the hr24 or h25 wil give you a backup if your genie goes down. The hr24 gives you some extra recording space, and you can still view your recordings from the same list in any room. It also wont max out your tuner limit.

Also, make sure your dish and your lines are grounded. Even when you dont have a lightning strike nearby, bad weather and high winds cause a LOT of static electricity in the air and anything metal just soaks it up. Even a simple 18-20 guage wire from the dish to a ground can give that static a...

Yes, they are on an arc, and your dish is pointed correctly, does NOT need to be moved. However, an lnb can go bad on just one of the three birds. Sometimes its errant static electricity, or a nearby lightning strike. And sometimes you just need a software download. Reboot your main genie, or...

And they greyed out channels arent always accurate either. In my experience, 99 percent of installs are people getting rid of time warner, or uverse, or movers. People who leave dish network almost ALWAYS complain about how they jack with the bill, not the service itself.Ive done over 1000 dtv...

Sometimes the "channels I get" even hides channels you actually get, like right now there Is a free hbo preview this weekend and it probably is hiding those When i do installs I just leave it at show all channels

You also need to get a 75:300 ohm balun and mount it in between the antenna and the coax, although if your antenna has a connector that the coax can directly screw onto, then the balun is probably built in.

Well, everyone who signs up signed on for 2 years. And if there comes a time when all the sat techs get laid off or have their contracts cancelled nationwide, then there will still be over 700 days left to worry about it ;)

Supervisor. Let me say that Iam not a high up at&t employee, i am a dtv contractor. Our supervisor has to do conference calls once a month with att and other contracting companies and he likes to fill us in. Sometimes these things are very true, and sometimes not. It's not that at&t wants to...

Uverse hogs up Internet bandwidth, dtv does not. Uverse can go down for a whole neighborhood with certain hardware failures, cars crashing into telephone poles. I am told that uUverse, whatever it ends up being called will be for apartments and hotels, and NLOS, and that it will have the exact...

Service calls always cost the customer money, unless you have protection plan. However, if you have been with them for at least a year, you can usually get a free equipment upgrade as long as you renew for 2 years. Techs are required to pass a signal test to close work orders, so upgrades a lot...

Call, and tell them "blah blah blah" offered you a good deal and that you'rethinking about cancelling. The department you want to be transferred to is "retention" people with many boxes or the 24 dollar a month dvr fee get better deals, but anyone out of contract can get something.

THIS. get it all back to the point where it downloads the satellite info. Then, go to settings, display, preferences, "hide sd duplicates" and change it to "show all channels" Now, in your guide, choose only the SDchannels and it should work

Probably true. A bar with the owners residence upstairs, a genie and client upstairs and 3 h24s downstairs, same dish, same account

Tons of jobs by power lines. I can'tfind my favorite right now tho, its grounded to a gas main

Lo,Lopro on a rail one block non-pen I could do this all day

The "anchored" pole the country pole the line of sight boost

A double stacked lo-pro, with EL/AZ broke off for the middle tie-together, on an under eave mount with studs hit on one side only, no corner braces, and pointed right at trees during a winter install, service out at beginning of spring. the other one is a LO,LO pro You mean like these?

I think most people underestimate greed. Direct wants everyone to have a box with all the tuners and clients that are useless without that box, and they want it hooked up to the internet. This is the best way to make sure that friends/neighbors don'thave 2 houses served by one account. Of...

Nice. Now you get an extra 4 or 5 Spanish channels in the 400s.

Yea. The hr54 is way faster than hr34 and has more storage, if you keep the hr24, thats fine since you have the reverse band. The hr24 is a hddvr, the hr34 a genie, so it gets replaced and any clients, or genie minis get synced now to the hr54. However, all of your recordings from hr24+hr54 are...

This, but ONLY if youre getting a reverse band lnb or a swm 16 and a kaku, the swim three supports 8 tuners, the 4k genie has 7, while the hr24 has 2, the h25 has 1, a 4k genie will overload your swm3 and you will get prompts to disconnect the extra tuners. It won't happen automatically, but it...

The hr44 has a power inserter, the hr54 does not. Also, the hr54 CANNOT be at the TVwith 4k, the c61 is. So, the upgrade requires removing the power inserter, swapping lines at the splitter to make sure the hr54 is on the DC pass through. There is also a lnb upgrade. Some might call this...
