    Where oh where is ESPN2-HD?

    The funny thing is that I was in ESPNZONE a week ago. I believe that they have Directv and if that is the case, they dont get ESPN2HD either!

    Installation Questions - Is DTV Worth it?

    Thanks, both replies clarify which settings to use. As for the 2 person job...will it not work for me to run extension cords out to the satellite and and use a small tv and the receiver? I am assuming I do not need the phone line to find the signal or the access card, is that correct? Thanks...

    Installation Questions - Is DTV Worth it?

    The Directv site is giving you instructions for a single LNB dish. Do not follow these instructions. You most likely have a triple LNB dish so It tells me to set the dish to: 35 degrees elevation, 200.3 degree azimuth and 74.5 tilt. Also this is a two person job. You need to be outside...

    Local Channels OTA

    I got this information from http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=2052&highlight=installation+equipment Which Antenna should I expect to get. Is there an upgraded Antenna? Initially VOOM provided the ChannelMaster Stealth Antenna. This is a highly directional antenna which...

    Local Channels OTA

    **I could be wrong, but I believe that Voom was giving its customers the non-amplified version of the Sensor II antennas and the power was coming from the box.

    Local Channels OTA

    A lot of people like the Channel Master 7777 preamp.

    Local Channels OTA

    Your Wineguard Sensar II was receiving power from your Voom box. Now it isnt receiving any power. You need to add a pre-amp.

    HTL-HD software upgrade

    Finally found a helpful CSR. You people that received the 2.0 upgrade are LUCKY. They are not sending it anymore. They are working on a permanent fix and until that time were not planning on sending 2.0 anymore.

    Channel 84 - Olympics ?

    Does anyone else notice that with quick motions(ie olympic divers) that the receiver seems to not be able to keep up with the motion. It seems that extremely fast actions like this show up blocky or pixelated. Is this normal?

    NEW HD RUMOR; 24 HD Channels for DirecTV..Bye bye Voom

    If this rumor is true, there will be even less people who will be able to get all the satellites. From 72 to 119 there is a 60 degree difference. You would need a clear shot at the southwest sky from 193 - 253.

    Pole size I will need

    I just put my dish on a 1 5/8 pole. That is a standard size. You can buy an 8' 1 5/8 pole at Home Depot. Solidsignal.com sells flat coax for $4. http://www.solidsignal.com/prod_display.asp?PROD=WRFC200

    Bird 110

    Well, After spending numerous hours on the phone with tech's at D*, it was determined that I have a line of site issue. Doesnt make a lick of sense to me given that I get 101 and 119 perfectly and NOTHING on 110. Oh well, I can not figure this out. How can trees block the middle satellite and...

    Bird 110

    Now I am totally baffled. I had a "professional" install this dish 10 months ago. It is set to 244 azimuth, 29 elevation, and 56 tilt, just like it says on both receivers. I call a D* CSR and they tell me that it is pointed wrong. They say that it should be 233 azimuth and 34 elevation and...

    Bird 110

    Well, I went out and bought a new satellite dish and still nothing to Bird 110. After spending over and hour on the phone with D*, I am completely baffled. How can you get great signals on A and B and nothing on C???? Any installers have an idea about this? I had a professional install it...

    Bird 110

    My dish is the "newer" everything built into the arm type. Multi-switch and LNBs are all one piece. I dont see how it could be pointed wrong because 110 is in between 101 and 119. If I get both of those shouldnt I automatically get 110?
