Yeah, I checked the connections, everything's still hooked up the same. It does not respond to the buttons on the face of the box or the remote control. The blue light turns on when you plug it in and that's all that happens...

My D12-500 has a blue light on the front but that's all it does. It is leased. I've read about how these things die all the time because of faulty power supplies, and there was a software update going on this week as well. Probably a coincidence, but since the blue light still comes on I can't...

I wonder if this is why my D12-500 doesn't work anymore... the blue LED turns on but that's it.

I don't do the CE, it was a normal update that is being pushed down to everyone AFAIK. No protection plan. I could just buy a new receiver for less than I would have paid in "protection". When I first got DirecTV a year ago I did a lot of research into the problems I was having and basically...

I don't know what's new between what it told us was new in the "Your receiver has been updated!" pop-up, but performance-wise the new firmware is terrible for me. It is SO UNBELIEVABLY SLOW to respond to button presses, even slower than it used to be (which was much slower than my SD box) and...

i would think hotels & places like that will probably take longer to switch... most hotels only got remote controls recently :P maybe SD will cost extra instead of HD someday...

It worked for yahoo! ...

Yeah, it seems they basically went from 3 hip-hop channels with some unique characteristics to each to one monolithic channel that plays more mainstream & radio stuff... but that was to be expected when they became the only game in town. I had Music Choice on cable and I thought it was better...

Thanks. I'll see what I can come up with in a few days. :) Right now I'm sick & dizzy from cold medicine, so I'll wait until I've gotten over this before I go climbing up any ladders. :D

I don't have the protection plan anyway.

On 103(a) I'm getting nothing less than 95, so that one's good. It seems that 99 is the only one with weak signals. Is there a guide somewhere that says how to adjust the dish? I did it in the olden days with an old RCA dish (when you only had one thing to aim at), but with the 5 LNB I'm...

I forgot to mention that last weekend (saturday or sunday) when I woke up, the HD receiver was totally frozen... it would turn off and on, but not respond to any other remote control or front panel commands. I had to unplug it from the wall and reboot it. It seems like the poor signal started...

Well, it got worse as the game went on. I had to watch the whole 3rd period in SD because now the HD channel is 771 most of the time, with a few seconds here and there of video. Other channels like HBO and CNN are doing the same thing, while the SD channels all seem fine (i understand they...

Hi, I got DirecTV HD with the H21-100 receiver a few months ago... it's been working fine as far as signal goes. I'm a big hockey fan and have been anxiously awaiting the start of the season, so, of course, a few days ago I started getting crappy HD reception. It comes and goes, seems like it is...

I think MLB sells game replay video through their website. I guess if you want to watch a completed game, that's where they want you to do it.

That did the trick. Thank you!

Hi, For the last couple days Fox Sports en Español on channel 425/616 has been showing a "Channel not purchased" message, but I have the Premier package which includes the premium sports pack, which includes FSE. I had my DTV tuner unplugged all last weekend, after which I had to go through...

I recently switched from Charter digital cable to DirecTV and the first thing I noticed was that the SD channels looked worse (on my non-HD, non-flat panel TV) than they did on cable. On my HD TV they look pretty awful, too, but after playing with my TV's MPEG artifact reduction and other...

The tooth fairy, obviously.

I think most of the time those HD channels have an SD equivalent, so if you watch the SD version you should be able to get the bars you want (and your TV should allow you to do the things you want since it's getting a true 4:3 signal)

Unfortunately there is nothing connected to the TV other than the HDMI to the DTV box. The same thing happened when I had nothing connected but an antenna, or nothing connected but my xbox... I think it is just how this TV is. The high-pitched whine it makes when it is off is VERY similar to...

So, after 4 days Philips finally replied to my email... It did not address any part of my e-mail. All it said was that I should call them. So annoying. DTV and Philips both get an F for customer service so far from me.

I didn't think of that, but I bet that's probably what it was. After about 30 minutes it came back. Apparently there was a very focused and serious thunder storm with hail and 60mph winds about 3 miles to the south of me, even though nothing happened here at all.

I just got DirecTV on Tuesday and the weather has been beautiful all week. Right now mine has been out for about the last half hour and it isn't even raining at all. It rained very lightly for about 10 minutes when it first went out, but that was it. I do hear thunder in the distance. Signal...

I think the sports blackout areas are determined by leagues, not by DTV... Looking at your ZIP code on a map, that is a tough call. You are between several big cities. Looks like Fort Wayne would be the nearest DTV local market so that probably determines which RSN you get. Which sports channel...
