Hello all, I've been with DirecTV traditional satellite service since 2011. I moved about 14 months ago to a home that includes cable in the monthly HOA. I put the service on suspension and then re-suspended it again to make it over a year. My account has grandfathered offerings such as HD...

...back wait another 32 minutes on hold......they clear the 721 (I tried from my online account....nothing). Fast forward a few days a D* truck shows up at my house with another HR24 ready to install it!!!! WTF!!! He said he was booked a week ago when I first called in and nobody told him they...

Can't get that far, its stuck on the hard drive failure blue screen and I can hear the drive clicking

Tried both unplugging and red button

Only one option on the boot screen is to reboot, cannot get past this screen regardless of 1 or 20 reboots. I'm thinking there is a command or button combo that will let me advance....trying to use tuners until replacement arrives in a week so I'm not fully down.

Anyone know how to bypass this screen to access the live feed on tuner 1 or 2 for an HR24?

Out in Miami market

How do I get the discount to show on one bill and still get two bills?

Has anyone tried to bundle AT&T DSL with DirecTV recently? Some of my promos are starting to end on my bill and I'm ready to give it a shot again. The problem I was running into was the fact that AT&T want to take over the entire billing procedure and all customer service. I just want to see...

You might think about just waiting, because if the new DirecTivo comes out, you could (most likely) transfer your lifetime sub over to it and save the $6.99/month.

Use Dishpointer or if you have an iphone buy the dishpointer app. This is the quickest and cheapest way to find out. If it is borderline, call up your local installer and have them do a site survey where they bring a dish and a meter to make 100% determination.

Yes, but it won't help much. The problem lies with the transmission type, not with the reflector. KA band is not powerful enough to penetrate dense clouds filled with high moisture levels. Your signal is being lost or scattered in the sky, not at your dish. A large dish (10 feet is too big) may...

Same result, but one is outdated and doesn't make sense. All future receivers will require SWM, just as the H25 does now. If one of his H24's breaks in 2 years and they only have H25 or 26 or 27's, then he will have to pay out of pocket to upgrade. Do SWM now.

The only thing you would need to do is go into the setup menu and change the name of the locations. DVR would change to "BEDROOM" and the H24-25 would change to "LIVING ROOM"

1.) Yes they can be combined. I did it about a month ago. You need to call the AAA line first, then RAF second with you account number. 2.) Yes, Costco first, then RAF

UPDATE: I just talked with a power company lead service area tech. They are aware of the issue. They traced the problem back to a series of over-voltage relays that trip when lightning hits the main transmission line(s) that go into the sub station that serves my neighborhood. We have had daily...

What is D***? Something you made up?

It cannot be changed or you just don't how to do it?

I just contacted the power company to file a complaint. They will open an investigation next week into the problem. I'm sick of it. I have to reset so many stupid things every time this happens. The good news is that this is about as close as we get to an outage unless a major hurricane comes...

My power will go out for about 5-10 seconds at least once per week, sometimes several times a week. After this happens, my HR24 and H24 restart and then remain on. Is there a way to get into the service menu and tell them to turn off after they restart from a power outage? If I'm not home they...

What happens to the leased receivers if you suspend for an extended period of time? You keep them? I assume if you just suspend for a month you keep the receivers.

Here is what I would do/best way to do it: Bring two extra TV's into your main house. Call up DirecTV and have them install 4 receivers at your main house. This will be your service address. Normally, a tech won't activate or install receivers on TV's that do not exist. They certainly won't...

If he does SWM, he could get (5) H25's. The H25's were designed for installations like this.

I'm 100% sure that the fine print that you signed on said that the receivers were leased. If you sign for something without reading it, then that is your fault. DirecTV was more or less forced to go to a leased model because of popularity of 'digital cable'. People did not want to fork over...

No, that is not it. The guy has a 1 meter FTA dish a SWM LNB. I can't link to it per forum rules, so I would suggest checking google and/or the other major DBS forum.
