Yes all those receivers mentioned work with the 18 inch dish. Just make sure you select 18 inch dish on the settings and also choose "multiswitch"

I have a lingering question about the protection plan. So if I have an owned receiver and it goes dead, will the replacement receiver with the protection plan become an owned receiver? Experts in this please chime in, thanks.

SAME HERE I've had that happen to me too when you ship something with delivery confirmation and it says it got delivered when the person receiving it never got it. Also sending receivers back with USPS probably is not a tracking number, it most likely a delivery confirmation number. I've...

SLIMLINE WITH DRD430 I have a drd 430 with my slimline working, it gets locals, just gets 101, 110, 119. Don't know if you have a different slimline than mine.

WOW SMART Wow you're smart, but didn't answer the question. I'm asking a time frame of when Dtv will change from mpeg-2 to all-mpeg-4 format?

COULD BE SOON Well with the new satellite being launched, maybe they'll be adding new channels and those receivers won't be able to hold as many channels any more. Maybe Stonecold has some insight into them or anyone else?

A REAL ESTIMATE OF TIME? Ok so who has a reality based estimate of when we will have to change our MPEG-2 receivers to MPEG-4? I find this topic interesting

???????????? WHY ASK WHY, GET A LIFE?LOL

THANKS STONECOLD Thanks Stonecold, just wanted a clear answer on who had been calling me the past couple of days.

EXACTLY Exacly!!! enough said.....

OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T Well if you didn't care you wouldn't be asking me why I care? So why do you care to post then?

Got a call from Directv supposedly, I wasn't home when they called me from that number (866)693-5688. Is this pertaining to the locals blackout or is Stonecold around to let me know where this number is coming from? Just wondering since I hardly ever get a phone call from Directv.

LOCALS OUT Yep mine are out, I'm a little south of San Jose in the Salinas/Monterey area and my locals are out.

QUESTION Just wondering, when are these older receivers (i.e. RCA DRD420 AND 430) being replaced for their lack of memory for the guides?

CONSENSUS??????????????? So do we a consensus here that it will take 5+ years or 10 years to convert everyone to MPEG4 instead of MPEG2. Also from SD to all HD? I think SD to all HD is about 10 years in my opinion.

COULD THEY BE REFERRING TO..... Are you getting the abc east, nbc east, fox east channels on the 380's and 390's? If you are that will probably be the locals that they were talking about coming from new york city. I know when my local abc affiliate was not in hd, they added the abc west hd feed...

TRY THIS Try that receiver that has searching for signal in your other room where the signal is ok. See if it works there. If it doesn't it's probably your receiver. If not maybe your coax cable or connection to the lnb might be bad.

STOP DEFENDING THEM Yea well someone needs to speak up, stop defending these cable crooks. It's about time people stood up and finally do something about these big cable companies and corporations deceiving the common folk. Remember there used to be a bill for de-regulation that only made cable...

WHAT I DID Well years ago I ordered my hd service and the installer had installed my dish which worked good at first. After a storm hit I was getting pixelated channels and I got tired of it. I guess the installer did not use enough screws to hold it in place. I decided to move it to my...

CALL DIRECTV You should call directv if you don't have a local nbc affiliate. They will most likely let you have channel 382 or 383 depending on what coast you're located in. I remember I didn't have a local abc affiliate and they added the west coast affiliate of abc station 387 due to not...
