    Is 99 (s) the same as 99 (b)??

    This morning I am getting mostly 90s on the same transponders. Last night it was cloudy and snowing, but this morning it is as well. The other odd thing is that the signals for this satellite don't come up as quickly as say 101. What is the reason for that? Any ideas on why at night (with same...

    Is 99 (s) the same as 99 (b)??

    Interestingly on my H20 is it 99b and on my HR21 it is 99s. How about the alignment. Can one of the lnb's be out of whack? Thanks

    Is 99 (s) the same as 99 (b)??

    I just had the 5lnb dish installed. My understanding is that locals are on 99b. When I scroll through the satellites to check signals there is a 99s, but no b. Also there are only the first 6 transponders available which is understandable since it is mostly spot beams. Anyways, I am getting my...

    MLB Superfan - Up to 8 Games 1 Screen

    I am new to Directv and am thinking of getting the MLB EI and Superfan. Can someone tell me if it is "up to" 8 game or is it have to be 8 games on 1 screen? 8 seems cool, but I would rather see 2 or 4 games if there is a choice. Also, if you are say in the Boston Market, that would mean you...

    HR21 viewing HD on SD TV

    I just got an HR21. I have many TV's in the house. I use a modulator to send the signal to other TV's. That of course would be and SD output (The Yellow, White, Red Jacks). I also use the HDMI out to the TV that happens to be the HDTV. My question is...Is there a setting that would make the SD...

    New Install - No Phone line

    Ok, how about this one. I could "move" but tell them my number will be the same because "I have vonage" and I need to still have that area code because I still do a lot of business in that area. That would work if I am forced to initially plug the phone line in. Has anyone tried this? With...

    New Install - No Phone line

    I want to switch to DTV, but I was told by an installer (who will not be my installer) that Directv requires that all installs are hooked up to a phone line to complete the installation. Currently I have DISH and I do not have a hook up and I use a different address then where I am physically...

    Boston Spot Beam

    I live in Albany, NY not CT. I am about 150 miles from Boston. So again you are saying that if someone with Directv near me can see a good signal on 99 tp4, and/or 101 tp4, I would definitely get them? There are no other channels that could interfere with them. NESN HD should not be a problem...

    Boston Spot Beam

    Brewer4 - Where in CT. That is weird that it is 50 miles less for HD, how do they deal with people who are supposed to get it, but can't because of the 50 miles. They just say you are out of luck? JTN - I live probably 80 miles from Springfield, so you are saying I might not even get NESN HD...

    Boston Spot Beam

    I currently use Dish Network and live in Albany, NY, but use a Mass address to get NESN and of course I get the Boston Locals. I am thinking of switching to Directv, but I am wondering if I will get the Boston locals with Direct. I have seen 2 different maps of the spot beams, they are...
