  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    OTA, Netflix and Hulu here I come. I had an epiphany this morning and woke up thinking about it. What am I really paying for? Do I really need this? I have seen the light. That's not a shot at the 20 million other people that pay for and enjoy their Dtv service. It's just something I've...
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Thanks all for replying! Now I know. If I want to get this channel, then I'll need to have the international dish installed.
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I searched the forum and found conflicting answers. Some say yes, others no. Reason I ask is the channel line-up makes no mention of an international dish required. I have a 5 LNB Slimline and can't get CCTV-9 on Channel 2053.
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I thought I would check in, some 8 months later, and in the interest of thoroughness followup. I finally reached out to Directv because my signal was going downhill and my dish needed to be moved. At the same time, I brought up the missing music channels. Bottom line: they moved my dish to...
  5. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I live in one of those markets that the local channels moved from one satellite to another. As a result, I scored all brand-new boxes, including an HR24 for free. This included a new 3LNB for my Slimline dish. For the first time in my life, my Directv setup is operating flawlessly. I have high...

    The Italian Bistro sealed the deal for me.

    1 door knob, which led me to believe it was a 3LNB. The Choice Ultimate Channel Guide lists what channels require special equipment, but there is no mention of those 13 Sonic Tap channels requiring it. That's an incredible discrepancy, I think.
  8. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I have a 3 LNB. And yet, clear as day, my order says 5 LNB. Epic fail. Oh well, it's just a couple music channels. Minor disappointment.
  9. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I will take a picture and post it.
  10. DIRECTV General Discussion
    According to the order I was to get the 5 LNB and I believe I was given a 3 LNB. Why can't anything ever be easy?
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Just was upgraded to an HR24 and have Choice Ultimate. I printed out the Choice Ultimate channel lineup and compared it to the channels I am receiving. I am missing: 880 Familiar Favorites 883 Irish 881 Italian Bistro 852 Jazz 870 Fiesta Tropical 855 Great Standards 824 Groove Lounge 815...
  12. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I wanted to followup and let everyone know what happened. The Directv tech just left. The LNB on my Slimline dish was updated and so were all 4 boxes. I now have 3 brand new HD boxes and to replace my ancient R10 Directivo....I am the proud lessee of a brand new (not refurbed) HR24 receiver...
  13. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    This makes sense to me. It didn't seem like I was talking to intelligent life this evening. I will call the "office of the president" tomorrow and see what happens.
  14. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I got this message when I logged into Directv.com: We will soon be changing how we broadcast local channels in your zip code. This may require a free upgrade to your DIRECTV equipment. To find out if you qualify for an upgrade, call 1-888-763-7772. Mention "Free 72 Local Swap" at the voice...
  15. DIRECTV Programming
    My receivers are: Directv Tivo DVR R10 Two D11 SD receivers One D12 SD receivers So they're not that old. Interestingly enough, it wouldn't let me buy the A-Team PPV, but it seemed to allow me to buy the Toy Story 3 PPV, which made no sense. I'm going to try it again today.
  16. DIRECTV Programming
    I got a card in the mail with 3 free PPVs from Directv. I have the following receivers: 1 DirecTivo R10 3 SD boxes No landline connected to any of them I tried to order a PPV online and got the message that the content was not viewable on my receiver and to upgrade to an HD receiver...
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Just wanted to followup and let everyone know what happened. The truck roll just left. The technician was very thorough. He rewired the entire multiswitch area, put in grounding blocks, new cable ends, replaced the multiswitch and it turns out...the LNB on the 72.5 local dish was bad. It was...
  18. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Just activated a replacement R16. Is it common for these receivers to emit a high-pitched whine? Or is that just during start up? It's VERY aggravating.
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    They're all home runs back to the multiswitch. I really think it's the WB68. I had problems getting the locals back on one of the SD boxes today. Had to run the setup a couple times to get it to work.
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Could be. Except the Tivo R10 it replaced also couldn't pull in 72.5.
