  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I'm St. Louis too. Bally Sports is out - bad news for Blues and Cardinals fans. Fox Business, IFC, AHeros, Reels are the ones I've noticed. Sure hope they get this sorted soon as those are some of my most viewed. I don't have the option to stream.

    It wasn't very loose, but certainly not locked down. We had some high winds a while back, about the time I lost the two channels, and he said that was probably enough to move it slightly. He also said that even a slight shift can toss a transponder. I guess I was just so focused on the LNB that...

    Some day I will learn to never rule out a possible cause of a problem. It was dish aiming. I'm so embarrassed. Thanks all for your time and suggestions.
  4. DIRECTV Programming
    I've messed with this so much that I can close my eyes and see it. It protrudes by ~1/8" or so. Enough for me to press my multimeter probe along side it w/o touching the ground. We'll see if it really is free. Perhaps they feel guilty over my monthly bill nearly doubling during the time ATT...
  5. DIRECTV Programming
    I did the full setup more times than I can count. The only choice, and the screen would even let me change it, was SWM. At the suggestion of the DTV phone rep I even tried different dish settings (from the Slimline 3S that it should be). The farthest I've ever gotten it the red X screen that...

    Old LNB : SL3S4NR2-01 New LNB : 3D2RBLNBR0-01 Both are marked with green tags SWM I rechecked the voltage with my wife's professional meter and it read 20.54 The new LNB looks like the photo I posted early in this thread, the old one is the same size w/o the ridges. Both only have one...

    ~19.4 V.

    While I'm waiting for tomorrow's daylight to do further investigation of my LNB I've got another question. I've had this Tivo for what seems like forever. I've been thinking of switching to the Genie. One of the features of the Tivo I LOVE and use all the time is both tuners always being...
  9. DIRECTV Programming
    You sound like I have messed up the DVR? I have two of these Tivos and neither is getting a signal. I don't have a plan. There's no hope of me getting this to work on my own?
  10. DIRECTV Programming
    Here's a new screen that hasn't previously shown. My dish is set to Slimline SWM3 and the LNB is set to SWM
  11. DIRECTV Programming
    I believe mine is the the THR-22, I didn't know there were different ones. I have done another restart and have at least gotten past the "Configuration Error" screen, but the signal strength is all zeros. I've checked the power supply for the LNB and its power light is on. I did an unplug -...
  12. DIRECTV Programming
    Don't know about satanic setup? I restarted the DVR and it went straight to configuration screens. I'm on the one after select dish and LNB. Those hadn't changed from before. Slimline-3 and SWM LNB.
  13. DIRECTV Programming
    I replaced the LNB and lost everything, it was the one in the photo above. I put the old LNB back in and still nothing, the system is complaining "Configuration Error". All connections seem good. What did I do wrong???
  14. DIRECTV Programming
    Follow up: Could a failing LNB cause pixelation and drop-outs? I've been blaming it on the dvr.
  15. DIRECTV Programming
    Connections are tight and dry

    215 is also out. I have an old Tivo-HD unit and a Slimline dish with LNB similar to this. Can I just order a new one from Amazon?
  17. DIRECTV Programming
    This AM Science dropped out and I get "searching for signal" message on the screen. All my other channels seem to be working fine. I looked a the dish and nothing is loose to suggest it has shifted. There's no snow or weather to be causing mischief. I did a Google search and didn't find any...
  18. DIRECTV DVR with TiVo Discussion
    The last three days "enhanced content" has been out of control. Practically non-stop. More than once it has grabbed the active channel away from me if I'm not quick enough to tell it no. And if I do cancel it just comes back in a half hour or so and does it again. For all those blaming...
  19. DIRECTV Programming
    I'm probably missing something, but can't you just scroll in the opposite direction and have pretty much the same effect?
  20. DIRECTV DVR with TiVo Discussion
    I disagree. TIVO had no dog in the enhanced content hunt. If they put the EC code there it is because D* told them to do it making it D*'s problem. Don
