Went to the dark side, Dish kept sending me offered with a $400 gift card, was already considering it as I was getting tired of my Orby Dvrs frequent lock ups & need 4 reboot. I only didnt pull the trigger earlier because I really wanted to support Orby as a competitor to the big 2. But my...

I dumped DtmTV, because although I had been a customer for 12 years, 7 b4 I worked for Mastec Once my HSP account (employee acct) went away, I was treated like a customer with ZERO loyalty credits for discounts. Paying DTV $120 a month for basic service with DVR was out if the question, since...

So , It was not bad for a while, but now at least once a day the DVR feature just disappears and I have to pull power and reboot to get it back, I wouldn't care too much, but when I do that it's a long time for the guide to reload. I hear what other replays have said, I know from experience...

Saw it with DirecTV Genie and minis on certain tvs. Was told by by DTV ISS it's usually a handshake problem between the box and the tv. The easiest solution. is component video connection, but unfortunately the Orby DVR does not have component video out.

As others have mentioned the Direct TV world direct dish and LNBF do work, currently using it in my setup. Was a DTV tech, so had extras in my garage. Only problem I think the dish tilt is not enough to get optimum signal in my lication.

I'm sure they have issues too. I'd get the duo, older DVR, dont want hopper , but would make them thro in the oa tuner for it, as I realized 50% of what I watch is OTA, I get like 60 channels here. I was a DTV tech for 5 years, the genie esp hr54 had issues, the first gen hr34 was total junk...

I want to support this service, they have what I need for tv at a good price. But keep getting offers from dish for about $60 a month with a $300 rebate. I dont want to get into another 24 month contract, but the issue with this DVR us starting to get me thinking.

I have been having issues with the DVR not pausing or rewinding live tv. After a couple tries it will lock up and go to a black screen, until I remove power and reboot the box. This is my 2nd dvr, Orby replaced first under warranty when it eventually would no longer re boot at all. Just...

No, I dont think so, Its a pretty basic DVR. But for $44 I got used to it. I have had it for a few months now and happy with the service. I use it on a 50 inch and picture quality on every channel I watch is quite acceptable for me.

Is based customer service goes a long way with me. I was a DTV tech, after ATT took over even our tech line was mostly offshore, and they were USELESS. The old DTC tech service center could do stuff with me on the line in a couplle min. Offshore, " please hold fir up to 2 min6 while I process...

I emailed support a couple days after this post, they shipped me a new box. RMA box came a couple days later. Took longer than it should, but since a new business I give benefit of the doubt. Super nice to talk to US based reps that actually understand English. Took longer than it should...

I do not want to go to dish, actually had a dish install scheduled when the Orby dvr went on sale for $99.. I am just not impressed with Orbys customer service relative to defective equipment. The support people are nice, and speak English, which is a huge change from DTV. But they should just...

I posted a few weeks ago about glitches with my box since day one. In hindsight I should have just returned it to best buy during the return window, but I kept it. Long story short, Last Wednesday It decided it was not a dvr any more. After two calls to Orby tech support and them having me...

Just wondering if I have a bad box, or if others experience issues with the dvr? Like occasionally locking up and going to a black screen when rewinding live tv. Or audio still playing when rewinding recorded programs. Unplugging to reboot restores normal function and it does not do it all the...

I had a hard time hitting the 117, but I was just using the on screen meter. I was a DTV tech and the 95 was also difficult to get sometimes. Someone on here may correct me if I am wrong, but the 95 and 117 are not as high power as the DBS sattelite like DTV 101 so harder to get locked on. You...

I have had mine for about a month now, and am happy with it. It obviously does not have all the bells n whistles, but for $44 a month I am pleased. Pic quality from the satellite on my 50 in is acceptable and OTA channels are better quality than DTV. As far as the install, pointing the dish...

When I first installed, It had a screen saying a download was in progress, and not to turn off. This is a much less sophisticated system than DTV or Dish, so I doubt they need to frequently re load new software into the reciever. But when they do, I hope they de bug the new software better...

Forgot one thing, may seem stupid, but the color of the plastic inside the ground block and barrel, If it is clear they are not always capable if passing the power required for sattelite, should be orange or blue inside. Generally cable and antenna setups do not need to send power back down the...

Couple ideas to check. Assuming the dish is aligned, my first thing to check is the ground block or barrell, if either is outside don't take alot of moisture to start corrosion (was cause of 775 swim network not found 90% of the time on service calls when I was at Directv). Also you mention...

I used a DirecTV World Direct setup. Had one in my garage from my days as an HSP tech. Just took a while to tune, but works fine.

Been almost a week now, and I am satisfied, this ie exactly what I wanted. I have basic cable channels again (dumped DTV a cpl monts ago). Picture quality is acceptable to me. Also found that I am watching OTA channels about half the time anyway (I get like 40 if you exclude the religious ones)...

I was on the fence, but got an email (Google knows) it was only $99 so got one. Self installed and activated today. So far I like it, lighter on features than DTV, but for $80 less a month I can adjust.

I have duplicates too. Orby DVR. Just set up today, no OTA ch yet (gotta stop n get a diplexer). Wasn't sure if this was normal, maybe just a glitch.

Got it!! 5 min after posting, went back out, made a new jumper to where I had the stuff set up, doubt that was it but maybe?? If it was I'm a dumba**. I was way off on tilt, and elevation was a couple off from what it should be, but had that before on the international odu, DTV quality control...

LOS looks ok, not great, I'm about 2 degrees over the trees by my inclinometer. (Had the 119 strong in same spot for DTV)The only things I can think of is if the DTV lnb is horizontal polarity only? Or I'm doing something wrong with the dish tilt/skew? Or the numbers on the odu for international...
