    Using remote more effectively

    Hi all, how are you? Does anyone know the most effective way to scroll the hd channel guide? ie with least button pushes? Right now I have to go to the guide and scroll all the way down to the hd filter which is alot of clicks. I suppose i have the recent, latest, typical remote, white, etc.

    Please HELP with Issues I have

    at-9 and au-9 are very interchangeable at that area. Look http://sadoun.com/Sat/Products/Winegard/DirecTV-KA-Dish.gif http://sadoun.com/Sat/Products/DirecTV/Dish/AU9-Slimline-DirecTV-Dish.jpg I would know if the dish has been changed. If it is the heat issue thing, then it stands to...

    Mine is already a zinwell wideband 6x8. I use 4 outputs and 3 other outputs go into a neighbor's which I don't know how they're being connected in there. If it's a multiswitch problem, shouldn't we see the problem all the time? But did you problem look like this ImageShack - Hosting ...

    Multi- Room

    You should get up to 4 room/rec free and only pay a monthly $5 for each after the first one. Since you want them now, ie not all 4 the first time, you'd have to pay for shipping. My bro went through all of that.

    Please HELP with Issues I have

    SIGHHHH.. the problem is back -- picture comes in and out, broken, and the message "searching for sat signal 771". At this point I think rad is right that this looks very much like a diplexor problem. I'm sharing the dish, switch with a condo neighbor, and the problem as I said only comes on...

    Please HELP with Issues I have

    I see that's what I need to do. My sats' signal strengths on a seemingly perfect weathered morning are following: 101 - 91% 110 - 88 119 - 85 99b - 7% 103a - 0 103b - 60% Guys, does my setup miss any sat, like 99a, or need to have more signal strength on any? (yes i am already aware of...

    Isn't all of this crazy? And all I want is just TV I pay for and move on. shmeff, I'm kinda proud to be the first of something . Now we know that slimline lnb works with at-9, huh? Well, considering that all chans are still ok, the one-long band lnb fits nicely on the dish's arm like...

    Please HELP with Issues I have

    I just went up to the roof and adjusted, but could never get it above 64. There are many factors which bewild me. It's a slightly square dish originally with 3lnb+2 extent. Now the tech gave me the newest one long band of lnb (sorry dunno the terms) which I suspect could only go to 64 because of...

    Please HELP with Issues I have

    Hi guys, For weeks I had been getting "frozen", stuttering, pixelated, and no-pictures at various hd channels (food hd, cnnhd,...) around the time I come home, afternoon to evening. So, I called dtv and a tech came this morning. Sadly, all the problems are not seen during daytime (ie morning)...

    International channels ?

    Never heard or read anywhere if D plans to do things like you wish. However, if you don't like the 3' wide int dish, get a samsonic or fortec which are oval/egg shaped. Not sure how wide they are, but they're surely smaller in width than the int dish :)

    I need advices from experienced installers...

    iwc5893, You're wise beyond words can describe :D You're right in my setup, the international dish has only the 95 lnb, the rest is taken care by another triple lnb. But with my luck, there's always complication. I BROKE the bracket that holds the 95 lnb at the place that connects to the arm ...

    I need advices from experienced installers...

    The 18v input is a very good info. Now that I think about it, what other requirements of the meter do I need, like Hz, etc. "It may be easier to connect your meter to the 101 LNB and peak in the dish that way" I do not understand this point. The 101 is currently measured at receivers at 95+...

    I need advices from experienced installers...

    Hi All, I need advices from experienced installers who have used a signal meter to get 95 sat (international chans). My HOA rooftop is hard to get to, so I can't really rely on using a receiver and a TV to align the dish and detect signal. The dish is Samsonic. So I will get a meter. Btw, I...

    International channels set up

    I just set up international stuffs 2 weeks ago. Quite fun. You can use elliptical international dishes 36EDS (I used this one), 66EE (36"x18, 36x24), or 36" oval Samsonic or Fortec or any oval dish with similar size. I think 33" oval/round is fine. The trick is really in the alignment. You...

    eBay Question

    I think upgrading to HD like any other upgrades is free for the dish, $99 up front for each hd receiver (you get rebate for only first hd receiver in 8 wks), and you've to sign 2 yrs contract. For sure there'll be a monthly $5 or $10 for each hd rec they send you to use. And why would it matter...

    Dishnetwork and DTV Together Questions

    ramy and boba, That's exactly what I want. "The signal will be coming in to the splitter from both no matter if you use it or not." And when I use a specific receiver, it will get the signal it can unscramble. The HOT and COLD water pipe analogy only makes sense if two data streams (DTV and...

    What equipment to get?

    Hi, if I may join ... One thing I like to know is when they install a multi-sat dish like the slimline, which sat (9x, 101, etc) do they aim primarily? I suppose when the primary sat gives a great strength everything else would fall in place, huh? Meaning, you can't adjust others without...

    A bunch of QUESTIONS about 95W Setup

    Ok, I got an Int dish and a 4x4 switch from ebay and put it up nicely over the weekend. Took me and my bro 4 hrs for everything, only becuz it was complete lack of experience with equipment on my part. My bro-in-law was basically following my direction. One thing that bugs me though is that a...

    One Button Press for Guide

    My HD H20 is not very responsive. It lags over a second to respond to a command. Because it's slow it becomes messy if I forget and issue too many commands at the same time. Actually I use remotes at the same speed as with all other equipments (and remotes have been around forever, right?). So...
