  1. General DISH™ Discussion
    One last question that developed after I started looking at dishes on Ebay. Can I use a dish 300 or 500 as a wing dish to a 1000.2?
  2. General DISH™ Discussion
    Thanks for the help everyone! I will probably go the 300 route.
  3. General DISH™ Discussion
    Sorry for the delay in response, been busy with work. Yes I meant Wally instead of Joey.
  4. General DISH™ Discussion
    Currently just have a Joey, no Hopper DVR
  5. General DISH™ Discussion
    I have a question about using 2 satellite dishes. I recently moved to a new home that is on a very wooded property. The previous owner had a dish network satellite dish on a pole in the yard. At that location I have clear sight to 110 and 119 but not 129. I have walked around the property...
  6. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Update...I was watching a show in my office (using regular mini) this morning on Smithsonian Channel, during that 1 hour show the picture froze once for about 1 second and also at a different time there was a 1-2 second pixilation with green and pink colors. What I didn't mention above is that...
  7. DIRECTV General Discussion
    So I unplugged the 4K mini this morning and restarted all the other boxes in the house. While working from home today I didn't notice any freezing. It could be a coincidence but it seems like the 4K mini might be the culprit. If that's the case I'll probably turn off the 4K service, send that...

    Thanks MysteryMan, I think for the time being I'm going to take the 4K mini out of the loop. I'm going to leave it disconnected and just use the regular minis and see how things go.
  9. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Thanks, so is it something known with the sats or something that can be fixed with software?
  10. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I just came back to Directv after a couple of years. I have a whole home setup with a HR54-500, 1 4K mini, and 2 HD minis. I have noticed on some channels the audio and video will freeze for about half a second sometimes. I have noticed it more on the movie channels but that might be because...

    A follow up to this thread.....as a trial run to try and save some money I had Comcast install their X1 setup last week. In the Houston area their HD quality is definitely inferior to Directv. Everything looks softer, text has jagged edges, and any motion is blurry. Even though Directv is...
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Jodean, I have a 65" Samsung. Turn off all of the motion smoothing/anti blur settings. With any of these settings turned on my tv was the same way.
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    DIsh has this option if its really important to you.
  14. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Does anyone know what voltage the HR54 ouputs if you are using that instead of a PI?
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I just found a picture of the 5 LNB, I defiantly don't have the 5. Someone over at the other site is testing it and took a picture. Its much longer and has 3 eyes on it, mine is square and only has 1 eye. I honestly didn't know I got any of the Tyler channels. I have only ever seen Houston...
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Thanks for the chart. Do they make a 5LNB reverse band yet? (Just curious)
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    So I got 4K equipment installed and after having the tech come back and second time I had him replace my SWM 16 switch and old LNB with a reverse band so that I would be ready for any future 4K content. So I'm assuming that he installed a SL3 LNB. Not ever sure if there is a 5 yet? So i...
  18. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I'm going to piggyback a wiring question off of this. If you have a reverse band SWM LNB installed, will any of the green label SWM splitters work? There isn't a reverse band splitter?
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Does anyone think this could be hardware based? Meaning, my system has 4 wires from the dish to a SWM 16 switch. Does anyone with a SWM LNB with 1 wire coming in the house experience this?
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I did try RW'ing but it didn't help for me last night. I was watching it live on C61K. Whether RRW'ing helps or not you shouldn't have to do that! Its ridiculous that Directv can't get this problem sorted out. My neighbor has Xfinity, I txted him during Thrones, everything was perfect. Just...
