  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Ok.. Here are the results of me trying to tune it myself. Are those good numbers? I couldn't get it any better. I tried adjusting the two Elevation and AZ bolts. Didn't mess with anything else.
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Called Directv. They had me swap cables on my tuners. Reboot. Do a system test.... (wasted my time basically)... Then told me that in my area, there is nothing they can do unless the signal strength is in the 60s. Even if I was going to pay some $49.95 fee, they wouldn't send someone out...
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yeah.. It seems like the new sat shouldn't affect things, unless the channels I watch are on the new sat and my signal strength on that sat isn't as good. I'll try calling Directv tomorrow and see if they will do anything. If not, I guess I'll try aligning it one more time myself.
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I've noticed that since the new satellite went into service that we've been getting more skips/drop outs and rain fade is worse. Probably coincidence...maybe.. Anyway.. I have an HR20 and an H21 hooked up to a Slimline dish. It was installed about 2 years ago as an upgrade from SD service...
  5. Forum Support
    Tried the app for a day on my iPad. It was ok but the forums are much easier to use and work better using the website. I deleted the app and went back to using the website.

    We use the Directv backlight in our bedroom. It's ok and pretty easy to use. Biggest issue is switching between some TV and Directv functions are a little bit of a pain because of the switch on the top of the remote. IE.. using Sleep on the TV. Also.. it's annoying having the Directv box...

    Yeah.. Sumi Das. I loved Techtv.
  8. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    This make the most sense. Don't make an HD and an hddvr. Just make a single unit and then provide different options of hard drives or let people use their own. It would probably be hard to control quality with different external drives being used though. One of the reasons why it would be...
  9. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Just wondering what kind of sense it makes to put a 500GB drive in the HR24? This is Directv's newest receiver. I'm assuming its supposed to be THE hd DVR receiver for the next few years. With so many people putting 1T+ drives attached to their DVR on the older drives from 2007, why didn't...
  10. DIRECTV Connected Home
    My router isn't near a Directv box. As part of the DECA install, will they run COAX to the location of my router and hook up the DECA to my router? Or do I need to do that? If they do it, will it be up the side of my house or will they run it through a wall?
  11. DIRECTV Connected Home
    If there was a central DVR that had 4 tuners.. then I would just use regular boxes to stream or watch live tv. A better option.. a central DVR with enough tuners to record TV and watch live.. so the individual boxes at each TV were so dumbed down that they just clients for live and recorded tv :)
  12. DIRECTV Connected Home
    So what if I did this: MOCA device near my Cable modem, with ethernet connected to my Router. This gets the IP traffic on my Cable line. Then another MOCA device near the entry of the cable into my house, connecting the Ethernet of this MOCA device to the ethernet Port on a DECA device, which...
  13. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I don't care so much about the support. I usually do my own thing. Just trying to see if DECA would be useful for me. Right now I'm using Wireless-N down to my HTPC, and I have my two DIRECTV boxes wired together using a switch and then connected to the rest of the network using...
  14. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Ok.. I realize this may be unsupported... I have my Comcast Cable (internet) and Directv come into my house at around the same place. The Cable internet goes up to my office where my cable modem, Router, etc is... Directv feeds the TVs. There is no Directv in my office where the internet is...
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Did directive sports mix move? I thought it was at 103. It automatically moved to 600. I picked up a new copy at 205 instead though.
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Logitech Harmony 610. Works great with directv. Newegg had one for $50 earlier in the week.
  17. DIRECTV Programming
    I was just thinking about this the other day. I was wondering why it was taking so long to get PBS HD out here in Colorado. Nothing yet. I see there are subchannels for channel 6 and 12. Not sure if they were available a few years ago.
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I just noticed this tonight. Weird.
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I'm at the point where I don't care anymore. I also believe that this product is dead unless they announce something before summer. Even then it is probably still dead. Not enough people care anymore...... I'm surprised the Tivo thread is still going..
  20. DIRECTV Programming
    I just finished my 3 month anniversary gift of showtime. Couldn't find anything worth watching or recording and I checked a few times. What a waste... It wasn't worth my time adding the channels into my favorite list. Next time I won't bother.
