  1. General DISH™ Discussion
    I am a new DISH user. Installed a Hopper and Joeys on March 12. All worked well when technician was here. The next day, Saturday March 13, the Hopper failed to load or turn on. After talking with Dish, we determined the Hopper was bad and needed to be replaced. Since this was a new...
  2. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    When I had my kitchen remodeled, maybe about 10 years ago, I had coax cables run from the room where my Dish receiver was located to a couple of mounted TVs. Since then 2 things have happened. 1) I switched to a Hopper 3 & Joeys. 2) My cousin got me an HD tv to replace an SD one. What I am...
  3. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Hi. New to forum. Hope I'm posting this in right place. I've been trying to order DirecTV but keep on getting bounced online to Access Media 3 who apparently installs for my apartment building. It also seems like they do not do any new customer promotions. But what really threw me off was they...
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I just purchased a Travel Trailer (my first ever RV!) that has two inputs, one for Cable, and one for Satellite. At home I have an HR44 and HR24, plus two Genie Mini's, with a Slimline Dish. I plan on purchasing a portable slimline dish on a Tri-pod. My camper has two TV's, plus the ability...
  5. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Living on the east side of Florida I took my dish down prior to Matthew coming through for a visit. I did not remove the mount from my roof, just took the actual dish and LNBs down. Now that the storm has passed and we have power I put my dish back up. I got it aimed after a lot of playing...

    Okay I have a THR22-100 receiver. It's the HD box with TiVo. When DIRECTV first installed it On Demand worked. Since December the On Demand say temporarily unavailable. It connects to the internet with a DECA2(whatever that is). I noticed when I log in to my DIRECTV account it shows one...
  7. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    So I've been building a house for several months. I've pulled a bunch of Perfect Vision RG-6 (I think this is good.), it also has a ground/messenger wire. I've pulled 6 RG-6, one to each room. I plan on doing SWM-16 (already have an SL3 dish with standard KaKu LNB, and SWM16 module). I picked...

    Is there a flat satellite dish that can look less obvious & (maybe even) have a dual-output LNB?
  9. ViP211(411)/211K/222 Support Forum
    I am a Dish customer with a 722 and 222 receiver and it is working fine. I found an inexpensive Dish HD (the black one) with a triple LNB to install at our weekend cabin. My plan was to carry my 222 back and forth for the weekends. I was unsuccessful getting a signal with this new dish...

    Hi, We own a condo in a small complex (7 units) in Oakland, CA. We on 2nd floor of 2 story complex. I ordered DTV install 4 weeks ago and was very clear we would have to have a roof install as we have obstruction from our tree preventing balcony signal. This similar to my neighbor that has...
  11. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Hi all, I'm a 1099 contractor working in Denver, Colorado desperate for some tips. I started training in August of last year and started working alone beginning in September. I feel like I have all the knowledge required for an install but I find I am taking way too long compared to the...
  12. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I need to switch the location of the power inserter. It currently runs directly off the 4-way splitter that is connected to the dish. However, I need it moved to an H25 that is currently connected to a second splitter, which comes after the initial 4-way. Is that possible? Or must the power...
  13. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    OK - figured it may be of interest to those browsing these forums who are contemplating a Directv install how my install went and this seems to be the subforum for that. Called Directv and told them I was interested in moving back from Dish to DTV. I was a DTV subber from 1995 to 2009, switched...
  14. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    This past weekend I moved into my new place and decided to instead of paying the movers fee to install Directv at my new place, I was just going to bring my satellite dish with me and set up the service myself. Well I run into a big issue while installing my service that I been working on for...
  15. General DISH™ Discussion
    Hi I currently have a DirecTV dish (Slimline) with SWM5 setup. One line coming from SWM5 to splitter and from there to individual receivers and power supply. Can I use the same setup and attach "DISH network" receivers? Probably not quiet, but what would I need to change out or add for it to...

    Planning for Genie and SWM conversion and would appreciate (more) advice. Dish feeds to basement where PI would be located. Unclear if SWM will be dish mounted or device in basement. Can I have splitter feed one line from basement to HR34 with hardwired Ethernet, and another line to second...

    I have a single HR22 with 4 additional televisions using only OTA service, and would appreciate advice on how to best provide Directv service to all televisions using Genie/minis and possibly the HR22. Knowing what to request from Directv would be helpful. My house is a 1910 2 story Craftsman...

    Genie Installation & External Hard Drive Questions I've always had a great DTV installation experience because I always come here first for advice and I end up teaching the install tech a trick or two so thanks in advance! 1. I currently have 4 HR-22s installed each with 2 tuners active. I am...
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Hi all- I've been seeing a lot of threads filled with "are HR44's being deployed in XYZ City yet?" and thought it would be a good idea to just create a thread where people who already have their HR44's up and running can mark which city they are in. Soooo...here's a survey that lists the top...
