  1. DIRECTV Programming
    Thanks, KyL416 and schmave1, for the information. I can see how I missed WMYS where the WGN and WPWR games are also broadcast. My antenna picks up the channel just fine, but the AM-21 (and DirecTV's goofy OTA database) won't pick it up. I'll find a secondary OTA market that has channel 69...

    The zip is 46534. If games are available on a South Bend channel, that's fine, but most of them are not. I can also get OTA from South Bend through an AM-21N. We get a lot of Blackhawks games on CSN Chicago, but again, not all of them. My wife is the big Hawks fan, but we both are big Cubs...

    Maybe someone here can give me some information. I live in Chicago and we also have a house in Indiana (South Bend market). Both houses have DirecTV. I'll be selling the Chicago house in the next few months and moving to Indiana. I can get Cubs games at either place on Comcast Sports Net...

    Me, too.

    When a HR34 was installed here by a DirecTV tech, he plugged the Ethernet cable right into the router sitting a foot away. The coax cable provided DECA/MoCA connectivity to the C31 he also installed. Later, I bought a broadband DECA and hooked it up the right way.

    I can't get 1242 either, although 1000 and 1002 are working OK. I'm watching an on-demand NCIS: Los Angeles from 1002 right now. I suspect 1242 will be back soon.

    Thanks for the update. It's good to know they're installing that LNB where they know there will be more than 13 tuners.

    There is also a lag between a mini and a receiver that has its own tuner. If you have the same live program on in two different rooms, the mini will be several seconds behind a receiver. I don't have minis, but that's mostly because I had HR2x DVRs. When I upgraded one of them to a Genie...

    Trade in a H2x (H24 or H25) for the C61K and leave everything else alone - except for the Genie, of course! That's a total of 16 tuners, allowing 7 for the HR54. I don't think the reverse band LNB will support more than 13 tuners when H2x receivers are in the mix, so the installer might have...

    If you can get the C61k's at little or no cost, it should be better than RVU. DirecTV updates their software more often than Samsung and you don't have to do anything if you want to replace the TV with a non-RVU model.

    65,535 is the largest number that will fit into a 16-bit binary integer, which is a simple way to store numbers in computer files. This is the largest number that DirecTV's database can store for an over-the-air (OTA) station identifier. Unfortunately, the database that tribune Media Services...

    Hx2x includes H25s as well as anything else with a H and a 2 in it.

    Make sure you drop the package off somewhere you can get a receipt, like a post office. DirecTV's return shipping people are notorious for not delivering the equipment quickly, then DirecTV charges you hundreds of dollars for non-return.

    Thanks, Slice. Interesting details in that article.

    I can't read the article unless I pay for a subscription.

    Not all Genies can power the LNB. Only HR54 and H44, I think.

    If I read the LiL chart in this post correctly (click on "TPN_Map_Domestic_160504.xlsx), your hi def local channels should be OK, but a few standard def channels might be missing. Those being 7, 19, 52, 54 and 56. Otherwise, the 119 satellite position, which you won't get, mostly provides...

    I have an old Slingbox Solo and I connect to it from a laptop when I'm on the road. I bring a VGA cable and a stereo patch cord and connect my laptop to the TV. Many hotel TVs can be switched to use the VGA input. Of course, that's not universal.

    I have had to do a similar setup on my Ooma Telo for Remote Desktop Connection to my Windows PC. Leave the Ooma between the modem and router to maintain good call quality. On the Ooma, set the DHCP server to have a dynamic range of only one IP address and use port forwarding on the Ooma to...

    Is the Satellite Setup correct? Is the DVR set to use both tuners?
