Guess I'll have to buy NFL Sunday Ticket to see my Ravens

Update #2: Tweaking the dish AZ & EL did not help, & I found that it's very sensitive to AZ changes - it picks up different sats. Apparently, the spot coverage, at least with my setup, is too weak since I'm trying to get locals not standard for my ZIP. Wish there was a way to increase the...

crodrules: Thanks; I would agree with you, but that doesn't explain how I was able to get the "out-of-my ZIP" locals perfectly when I took my receiver to my neighbor's and connected it to his DISH antenna. I'm about to tweak my antenna azimuth, and I'll post the results.

Update: I took my receiver to my neighbor's house, also a DISH customer. My locals came in perfectly! I ran Menu/Settings/Diagnostics/Dish and copied all the readings. SAT 61.5 sig levels showed about the same, but on average, SAT 72 was 10 pts higher. My DISH installer's tech came...

I finally jumped to DISH after 20 yrs with DTV. After a few weeks, my locals would not show - I would get the Complete Loss Of Signal message - until later in the day, say, around 4-5 PM. ALL my other channels were OK. Tech came over, put the Dish Buddy on the cable, said everything looks...

Tried everything save for LNB and IRD. Which one to try first?

Tuesday Dec 18, I woke up in the wee hours and noticed my HR21-100 was "ON". I thought I turned it OFF before going to bed, but I guess I didn't, so I turned it off and went back to sleep. Come morning, wife turns everything on, and TV shows message "Searching for Satellite (771)"...

I'm inclined to believe that 0's on 119 indicate a bad LNB rather than something blocking the signal. The dish is actually looking through a gap in the tree canopy of my wooded lot. What I've been trying to figure out is which side is being blocked. Since 119 is the farthest most bird in one...

I'm getting all 0's on sat 119 active xponders (22--->32), but the only channels giving me a 771 message are 72, 76, & 79, which are mirrored somewhere in the 300's. Any knowledge of this? I just upgraded to DVR service w/HR21-100

Signal strengths were mostly in the 90's & 80's. "SATELLITE IN 1 (SWM-2)" is the exact way the left port is labeled (as you look at the back of the DVR). The port to the right of it is labeled "SATELLITE IN 2". I returned my setup to the H20 & old 5LNB and all's OK as it was before, so I know...

I thought I had read enough to finally attempt to install my new HR21-100. I bought a new one, as well as a new 5LNB SWM for my SlimLine dish. So today I tweaked my dish BEFORE swapping the old LNB and my H20 receiver. My understanding is that with only one DVR, only the power inserter is...

I am unsure which DVR receiver I should buy in upgrading from my existing H20 receiver. I am unsure about the differences between the HR20, HR21, HR22. DTV offered me a free DVR upgrade, but they will not ship it to me for self-installation. They said they HAVE to ship it to an installer, since...

I have had an H20 receiver for some time, along with a 5 LNB AU9 SlimLine dish. I am feeding only one receiver. I want to upgrade to a DVR, and I want to know if I can I retain my present dish & LNB, and what other hardware I will need.

I am STILL quite p-o'd at their pulling several HD channels from the $9.99 HD package & then offering them at an extra $4.99. When I called to complain, the "customer retention" dept. threw me a crumb and offered me a programming credit for a while. How magnanimous of them!

The whole argument seems kind of silly to me: why would ANY TV station not want every person with eyes , ears, and money to spend on their sponsors, to NOT watch their station, whether it be via OTA or SAT? In the early days, when test cards were common, it was neat to be able to watch the west...
