  1. DIRECTV Programming
    Is it possible that after the repack is complete the am21 database may include the rest of the the channels they are currently missing? I need to run a secondary zip to get metv, and there are new subchannels that launched recently in my area that I can't get at all yet.

    I was gonna ask why not just use an extended mast on the roof since you drilled into it regardless. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    Wondering if you have an update on this, I'm curious how many in house techs walked off on you. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    It's the new fw for genies, this is a known issue, a fw update to the client will resolve it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Doesn't really sound like anything a tech can address. Sounds like issues with either hardware or possibly software Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    On an hr54 you press and hold the select button to get to that test. But I agree the problem is with your coax network in the home. That loosely translates to bad or faulty wireing. There is no way to override that test it MUST pass. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Don't forget the p2 is also referred to as a sat c, and featured the sat c upgrade kit to us old timers... God dm it makes me think I've been doing this for way to long that I can identify an 18x24... I need a better hobby. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    I didn't factor price in, I factored simplicity and functionality Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    My thought would be swm32.. most straight forward install. No mrv needed Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Odu - swim - 8way x2 and 2way x2. Don't forget the 3rd power inserter or polarity locker/amp

    This is correct, it was my mistake. But my point was with only 8 channels available utilizing the swm/power for both is the best option in my opinion and it is how current techs are trained. Either way, whatever that 2way is, it's not approved. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    I'm aware of the need for the second dish. And what I said was I don't like the second port. I didn't say it didn't work but if you read the install diagram or look T the switch the bottom port should be power only. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    The akhi setups differ from conus, so most of the techs here won't be much help. But in general I would change that 2way to a 4way (dtv approved) and run it off swm+power from your switch. I dislike the dedicate power setup on swm8s. And I don't believe that switch is designed to feed signal...

    I posted the pbi rev3. And @psmith, unless I am misunderstanding you, you are incorrect saying the dswm gen2 is the same as the reverse band. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Has anyone said the new server will not have hdmi? I'm pretty sure that was just speculation but I'm not going to comment on that subject for a while... Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    He was either misinformed or meant that we were launching 4k programming soon. Techs get slammed with all this news and the general "how to" basically a day or two before if not the day off new products. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
