  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thanks guys I will give it a try. I want to record the new Showtime series 'Masters of Sex', but don't really want the kids to see that on the Genie playlist.
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'm sure this has been asked/answered elsewhere but a search did not turn up a quick answer. I recently converted to the whole home Gienie set up, and lost a dvr that was dedicated to me in the process. So now I have no where to record shows inteded for my eyes only (Dexter, Californication...

    Probably in the minority here, but no one in my household of 5 watches a single show on any of the Viacom channels. Not gonna happen by I wish D* would drop them and give us BBCA HD.
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Same story here. Email on June 8 stating I would get additional 24 months. Card in the mail today saying not Auto billpay. Called D*, worthless CSR that didn't believe I got the 24 more month email to begin with. Got transfered to retention and best I could do was 12 months. I have had D*...

    +1. Top Gear is the only show I am willing to watch that is still in SD.
  6. DIRECTV Programming
    Oh we have an idea. DirecTV has shown episodes of Top Gear in HD on the former 101 channel (now the audience channel?), and it looked wonderful. Which makes watching TG in SD all the more painful. Its the only show I am willing to watch in SD at this point.

    Non-SWM. I will try unplugging all the receivers and see what happens. Thanks.
  8. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I have a slimline 3 with a standard 4x8 multiswitch. We had a bad thunderstorm this afternoon, and now I get 0 signal strength on all 103 sats/transponders (s/ca/cb). I have checked 3 receivers, and it is the same across all of them. Both 101/99 are still good with signals in the mid to high...
  9. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Just to wrap this thread up, I called D* and told them to make sure the tech had a slimline 3 in the truck. When the tech arrived he installed the slimline 3 without any questions, and problems solved. And as a side benefit, the Slimline 3 has a much higher WAF than the AT-9 did. Thanks again...

    No worries, it's pole mounted in the back yard, so no holes in the roof.
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Thanks, that's exactly what I did when it occured to me at 1am last night. Worked like a charm. Now I just need to call D* to ensure the installer has a slimline 3 on the truck. Thanks again guys.

    Thanks guys, I knew I would get the right answers here. And great handle BattleZone, I loved that game as a kid. Could play for an hour on one quarter.

    How widely available are the Slimline 3's? Is that something the service tech. should have with him, and will the 3 LNB work OK with the old side car style dish?
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    So what you are saying is I really need to get a true Slimline 3 to stop the guide issue, and to get the authorization signals. Sounds valid to me.
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    First some set up details. I have a 5 Lnb (side car) dish, an 8 way multi-switch, an HR20-700 an HR21-100 and an H-20. The dish is accurately pointed with signal strength ranging between 85 to 100 on 99C, 101, 103S, 103C and 110. 119 is not usable for me, as a pine tree has grown to tall to...

    Thanks IIP. I would think a bad LNB would also be effecting the HR20 and H21, so that would leave the multiswitch. I might try swapping the ports between the H21 and HR21 and see if the problem moves from the HR21 to the H21.
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    In the bedroom I have had a HR20-700 install with a single sat input for 18 months or more. Over the past 2 months it began to throw the occasional 771 error. The first thing I tried was swapping the B-Band converter. Next I changed the port on the multi-switch the box was connected to...

    Thanks, that did the trick, and much faster than calling D* again. You guys rock.
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thursday I sat down to watch a few recorded shows on my HR20 that has been pretty much perfect for some time. I clicked the list button only to receive the 'You do not have DVR service call Directv' message. At the same time the record light is on to record Burn Notice. Also, the HR21...
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Well I think it is good news. Checked my todo list after re-creating my series lists, and all looked correct. It looks like deleting all the lists and starting over 'fixed' it. However, I am still seeing some strange behavior. When I added another series list it was shown as '9 out of 25'...
