  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Hi All, I have a few questions which I've had trouble finding answers for. I don't know much about the specifics of a DIRECTV system's operation, so any links to a decent overview would be nice. Unnecessary Background Information: I have an SDR that can handle the IF output from the DIRECTV...
  3. General Satellite Discussion
    Welcome! As you know, I am new to the DBSTalk forums, and I am very curious about the satellite happenings. In my lifetime, we had big, black C-band antennas that were very big up until 1994 and 1996, that we first had DirecTV and switched to Dish Network. Under Dish, we had their Legacy...
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    If someone uses, let's say, Straight talk home phone service with the receivers, will the data transmission/receiving between DirecTV and the receiver work? EDIT: I am not talking about an internet connection, I'm talking about a cellular phone connection.
  5. General DISH™ Discussion
    Hello folks. My first post here ever. I'm losing upper channels on the 119 W satellite. Oddball situation...some history. Moved to a heavily treed area in the Northwest about 10 years ago. Dish and DirecTV both said no way to get service at my location...too many trees. Had an account...

    Yes I tried to hook up a roku box to my dads TV and finally got it to work but thinking I may have changed a wrong setting in the TV settings. On my dish remote if I click the "sat" button it goes to a blank screen. If I go into my TV inputs and select "component" the dish screen comes up but...

    I have two buildings, one is being built and not physically connected to first building. Not sure how to get satellite reception to new building. New, separate dish? Long lines from old building to new (75feet or so), and if this option, wires overhead or underground? Want to be able to share...
  9. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I've had my Direct-tv HD-DVR receiver for a few years now and have had no problems until the last couple weeks or so when the receiver would just randomly reset. At first I thought it was my dog pushing her little toy bin into the power strip so I moved that and there wasn't any problems until...
  10. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I recently called DTV because a relative had an old D12-100 that was deactivated several months ago because of no use. He's had it for several years (minimum 5 years I'm sure), and DTV claims that it's still leased. I'm like "huh?". I called my relative and asked about it. He said it's NOT even...
