    to get more recent movies you have to have the DVDs sent to your house. The streaming stuff is mostly older shows.

    Netflix has some 3D.

    I have been watching 3D on Netflix lately.

    Just a warning. The ones that advertise 150 miles will pick up at those distances across Lake Michigan. The bad part is that they don't last very long.

    Get a 211 and add an external hard drive.

    You may be able to do this if DirecTv is aware of what you are doing and it is a commercial account. I have installed for an account that had multiple rental units but DirecTv was contacted and approved it. I recommend you try finding a retailer authorized for commercial accounts because it...

    Just bought my 3-D TV. Love it. Didn't think I would ever buy a 3D TV. Bought a Samsung Smart TV. My 4 year old granddaughter loves the 3D.

    Te cable from the dish goes to the power to SWM side and signal IRD goes to the receiver.

    That fixed it, Thanks.

    I have found that some of these nodes are defective right out of the box. I told the retailer that I install for to keep extras in stock because of that.

    Has this been resolved? I did an installation 1 week ago and had the same problem. It did not go away. I installed a Genie and 2 C41s the problem was on only 1 of the C41s the other C41 was fine. A friend did an install 2 days ago and had the same thing happen. He only installed a Genie and a C41.

    I use a "ZBoost" repeater. Much less expensive than Wilson and works great. Solid Signal carries them and are about $200.00.

    Experienced the freezing with the 30 second skip at a customers house. Did it on all 3 clients but not the Genie. Tried another Genie but still got freezing on clients. Changed to 30 second slip and that worked fine

    Skeeter is only trying to help. The tech that checked your outlet cannot check it with the equipment that an electrician has or that your local utility has. I worked for an electric utility for 22 years. Skeeter is correct in saying that if putting in a ground block corrects the problem then...

    50 feet should not be a problem.

    Dish LNBs require more current than the Legacy DirecTv LNBs. Since we do not know the length of the cable run we can't tell if this could possibly be the problem. Also, if the voltage is low at his house that could affect the power output of the receiver to the LNB. These conditions could...

    Do you live near a Fire Station or a Police Station? I encountered this once. Dish would have problems but Direct worked fine. If this is the case it should have had problems from the beginning. Did you have lightning strike nearby before this happened?

    James, thanks for the effort you put into keeping us informed. Sometimes I think the moderators are under appreciated for the work that they do.
