    Signal a bit worse each year

    At camper, dish is on an old large tree - for 4 years now. The 101 signals are still in the 90's but the HD signals are now mostly in the 60's when they were in the 70's and 80's couple of years back. Any suggestions regarding how to TWEAK the dish to recapture better HD signals ?

    Is there logic/explanation for this ??

    I have the setup shown in the pic. I have the signal for the powered A/V Amplifier going to an old non-HD small TV in the kitchen. It works ONLY IF the HDTV at the amplifier is TURNED ON. If I turn that TV off, and the Directv controller remains on, then all I get is a BLANK screen on the...

    How lame is this ???

    Called DIrectv and they will replace it, told them maybe just send me another H24 cause they all work fine with the caller ID. Did a reset on the H25 and the 76-694 error msg went away, but still no Caller ID showing up.

    How lame is this ???

    I have searched the forum and found many posts regarding the non-functioning of the the Caller ID/Call log. I have a H24-100 and it works fine for the Caller ID. I also have a H25-100 and the Caller ID setup looks exactly the SAME. The option is there just like on the H24. YET, it simply...

    I'm sounding off - Comments welcome

    I keep getting Charter/Spectrum cable service reps BANGING on my door! I have patiently told them before that I CANNOT change my Directv service BECAUSE I use it at both my home AND camper - and THEY have no comparable service! My question to you experts is: do you ever see Directv somehow...

    HD Directv and Sanyo SD TV

    Having a bit of a snafu. Trying to connect an H24-100 to a Sanyo SDTV. The Directv box has no S-Video, only AV and HDMI. I have tried the AV hookup but am getting no signal - just a 'snow' screen. The TV has only a few settings and it is set to receive signal from Cable. I believe this...

    This is very WEIRD

    I just swapped, all was powered down, so it may take a while again if/before issue come back. The box with issue is h24-100, other 1 is h24-200. Audio settings are same.

    This is very WEIRD

    I have shut off the surge protector the box is plugged into b/4 and it seems to clear things up for a bit, but then the issue re-occurs. Is it possible it could be something awry in the box vs the TV?

    This is very WEIRD

    There is an Audio out black plug - which splits into av later on (actually this is a camper set up). I unpluged the audio out still get the skipping right from the tv, but only on music channel.

    This is very WEIRD

    Have 2 HD boxes. Signal looks strong (On SWM). If I go to a music channel (e.g., 802) on main TV, the music annoyingly "SKIPS". The same music on the 2nd TV (at the same time) does NOT skip. The sound from the 2nd TV is directly from the TV. The sound on the main TV is from an attached...

    Defective SD Box ?

    Jimbo., I did the auto setup of the remote (and I also tried the RF remote from the other main TV which had the same tv input display shown but the "no change" of tv input issue). Each remote works fine with the on/off, and volume, etc., just that the TV input displays BUT cannot select a...

    Defective SD Box ?

    Jimbo, the destination travel trailer has 2 satellite in connections on the outside. I have the 2 connection splitter right out there. Inside, each Directv box is connected with a short coax to 1 of the 2 cable outputs embedded in the camper at each tv location (main room and bedroom), The...

    Defective SD Box ?

    switched it from HDMI2 to HDMI1. Same issue. I also contacted Hannspree by email. I tried programming another remote to that TV and the TV input also pops up when clicked on the remote - but for some reason it also will NOT allow me to MOVE/CHANGE the setting ....

    Defective SD Box ?

    I just tried that, Chip, and still had to go thru the same process - switch back to #1, then back to number 6 (HDMI2) - but then the DirecTV signal always comes back. I was able to 960 program the remote to try to get the TV input button to work - which it at lease displays the settings now...

    Defective SD Box ?

    As I am troubleshooting this 2nd replacement HD which I just received, I find that this no signal issue may actually have something to do with the Hannspree TV? I have a coax connected from the camper antenna connected directly to the TV, I have an HDMI from the TV to the DirecTV HD box. When...

    Defective SD Box ?

    All has been pretty much setup and working just as the replies have instructed. The HD box is in place and yet the same issue occurs. The issue is that each morning I now have to press the red reset button to get the "no signal" message to disappear, and then the HD box comes back up...

    Defective SD Box ?

    I think I finally get it, and this RCA modulator unit only comes as a powered unit, correct? And, then I can still use an HDMI to HD TV - or must it be Component?
