I have two Philips DSX-5500. Both owned and both operate fine. Yes I still have some tube type televisions. Direct sends me an email stating that these receivers shortly will become obsolete. Anyone else get this email? Anyone familiar with these receivers? Will they become totally...

I found the original access card in a sealed wrapper. It was in the box with all the manuals, wires, etc. If I put this card in will this show me if receiver works or not?

The original post was a simple question. Whether the friend got it from someone else is not the question. Direct TV states that it is not stolen. It could have been purchased at Best Buy or maybe it is an owned receiver. My two original non-HD receivers were given to me by Direct TV. My...

It's an h21-100 receiver. Direct TV customer service did not tell me to return it. All they stated was that it was never activated. Thanks for the tip. I will try channel 1 100 200 and 500.

Is there a way to check if a receiver works properly without activating it? I obtained receiver from a friend who never activated it. And he states he purchased it from a big box store but never activated it. Receiver has been in a box for two years and all receipts have been misplaced...

H21 HDMI is one way to connect to TV. Are there other ways/wires to connect to TV. Sharp 32" LCD. DP32648 In other words, if there is another way to connect the H21 to TV - sound and video - other then the HDMI? If so, how and what types of wires are needed? Thanks

What is a Slimline dish? Is there more than one Slimline dish?

raoul5788 is correct. At some point you will need a contract. Unless you are trying to circumvent the rules. If this is not a "standard" installation and you wish to run the wires inside yourself - then make sure you use the correct wire - and no splices. Most view all as simple cost. There...

But back to the "Reality" TV show. I watched most of it. Yes, this is now totally scripted. Not even close to the real world. A joke. And from watching past shows - this guy was cheap with the funds/money - and advancement/training opportunities. The best one I have seen was the...

Now you make me feel old. I left before the whole bonus thing. I started when bundles were tied out with real twine - long before elastic bands. Each case had a roll of brown twine and a little device called a finger cutter - to cut the twine. And each case had a clip-on ash try. And...

Forgot to mention. If I am wrong on this, then someone please correct me.

Not sure if I understand the question. But I have one Snowbird neighbor that takes his receiver with him from the North to the South and then back. One account. So if you lived in New York and went to Florida - but you wanted to keep the New York stations - then just carry the receiver with...

Thanks for the response. But I think my original question was short enough and appropriate. I have one residence with two Huges 5500's. With an old dish. All my question was - can I put up a new dish without any contract. That's it. And I think I stated that some time in the future I...

Well, you do get different answers from different people at Direct. The answer I got from Direct was that to put a new dish up was $49.95 - no new replacement reciever- just the dish. But this would initiate a 24 month contract - just for the new dish. I own all my receivers. I have HD in one...

Simple enough explanation: Snowbird. Two homes - one account. Only one used at one time.

No, there are ways to avoid a commitment. I may not get local channels (here) though.

I wish I had this information when I had Pegasus install my Direct - long time ago.

Phase 1. At present all I want to do is replace my old dish with a Slimline 5 dish. From reading above I can do this and Direct does not need to be notified. No 24 month contract. Direct tells me that for them to do this the cost here is $49.00 AND a 24 month contract. If I do this...

Everything works fine with my Direct system. Two Hughes 5500 receivers operate fine. I have an old dish on roof. No problems. I have two old CRT televisions that work fine. At some point in the future, I will be purchasing a new TV. And at some point I would like HDTV. I have been told that...
