  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I had to stay in an apartment for a week before I could move into my new house. Still paying for directv service but no dish. Booted genie up and pressed playlist button. Playlist came up but all the options on the left were blacked out when I selected a program. Selected a program and...

    I'm actually very happy with my alignment. All sats are similar or better than this. I started the thread because I didn't understand how one transponder out of all the ones on all the sats could be so much lower. Thought maybe there was a general issue with transponder 10. Seeing other...

    Since I started this thread, I guess I'll chime back in. My current readings are: 103 ca 9-16 95 86 95 94 95 94 95 95 17-24 95 95 95 94 95 94 96 95

    The ipad app said it didn't post because of an error. Then it went through three times. I couldn't figure out how to delete the posts. Sorry about that.
  5. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I just installed a slimline 5 myself and am very happy with my signals. All signals are generally in the low to mid 90's on the 99 and 103 sats. My question is regarding 103 ca transponder 10. My signal is 83 whereas the next lowest on 103ca is 93. I don't want to fix this but just am curious...
  6. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Had the same run around as everyone else. Got the email saying my HD access was free for next 24 months. Then got postcard saying I wasn't on autopay (which was not true) so credit would be cancelled. Lost credit this month. Was able to get them to give me free HD access for 12 months. Said...

    What's the most effective way to go about getting a credit for buying an HR24 from Solid Signal? I've made multiple attempts to setup a credit (I have not bought anything yet) with the normal CSR's and they immediately say that they can't give credits for purchasing from 3rd parties. Is it just...
  8. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I've read a lot and searched a lot on this board, but I am still confused. I currently have the slimline 5lnb with 4 lines to a swm16. From that I'm running 4 hd dvr receivers. Question is I need to replace the lnb due to signal issues. Do I have to get another slim 5 lnb for the 4 lines? Or...

    Also handy to watch TV when the little ones are running around yelling.
  10. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I called and asked for promotions. Told the lady that I wanted the free HD for 24 month deal. She said no problem and asked me to hold. After holding for a minute or two, she came back and said the best she could give me was 6 months free. I told her I knew for a fact they had a 24 month...

    This is my exact same problem. HR20-700 tuner will go out and will get blank recordings that I won't know about until I try to watch something several days later and realize I have lost multiple recordings over the past several days. HR20-100 has never had this problem. Have switched cables...

    I take it you don't like the PS3. Maybe I'm just reading between the lines.
  13. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Does anyone have a recommendation of an affordable switch (specific model)? I would love to get the gaming adaptor and then place a port switch behind it to have N speeds to my DVR's and my PS3.
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Does that mean you can plug the WGA600N into one of the ports on the first HR20, and then plug your second HR20 into the second port on the first HR20 and have connectivity for both units? Hopefully that question is not too confusing.
  15. DIRECTV Programming
    KATV won't be fixed until they complete construction of their new tower and have their transmitter up and running. They are currently broadcasting as a subchannel of KWBF. Directv really can't really fix the problem without running fiber from KATV to the uplink center.

    I refuse to watch KATV's newscast. They manage to work more commercials in than the other stations. They even take a commercial break during sports at 10:00. Just give the sporting news. Basically one story on the Razorbacks, then 6-7 commercials, then a story on peewee football. No thanks.
  17. DIRECTV Programming
    The picture keeps looking like it's out of focus (even in HD). Also, there is a picture lag which makes it look like you're watching a show on the internet with a slow connection. KATV is by far the worst of the networks in Little Rock. They spend the bare minimum it takes to run the station...

    Thanks. I'm trying to add up how much UPS capacity I need.

    What is the power usage of an HR-20?
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    This thread does not "hurt" the image of the HR20. I sat on the sidelines with my HR10 until, based on threads on this board, the HR20 had the majority of the bugs worked out. I bought knowing that it didn't have DLB and probably wouldn't get it for a long time. You know what, I like...
