I've used Dishpointer Pro for years to find a hole in the trees that allows me to get DirecTV on my dish at an RV site. But now, Dishpointer Pro shows "not licensed" on my Android phone, and the app is no longer available on Google Play. I really just need the app for AR display of the...

I've had DirecTV for years. My account is in good standing. I have two HR-24's. One is failing due to a very loud and rattling cooling fan. I'd like a replacement HR-24. 1) But I've read on this forum that replacement HR24's are no longer being sent? 2) If no HR24's, what do I want to ask...

I want to calculate skew as DTv measures it from the skew reading as Dishpointer give it. For example, if the Dishpointer skew is -6.8, is the DTv skew 83.2? And if the Dishpointer skew is +6.8, is the DTv skew 96.8?

Let's assume a Slimline dish is properly aligned. If I replace a SL5 LNB with a SL3 LNB and I do not move the dish nor bend the arm will the dish be properly aligned for the SL3?

I have an HR 21-700 connected to my home network; TV Apps work quite well. The receiver is connected to my router. Zone Alarm on my desktop computer reports that the HR 21-700 receiver tries to connect to my desktop several times a day. Zone Alarm blocks each attempted connect; the attempted...

I'd like to post my meter readings. I have them in an Excel spreadsheet. I'd like to post them just as text within a message. I can't figure out a good way to copy and paste from the spreadsheet to a message that maintains the data in columns. Is there a good way to do this?

On my HR21/700, I can't get the audio feedback on the transponder signal strength meters to work. Do I just have a forgotten setting turned off, or is there some other explanation? Thanks!

Which transponders and satellites carry the DirecTV on-screen program guide? If the guide information is on multiple satellites, is the guide downloading faster from one satellite versus another?

I'm new to DirecTV. I understand that the stronger the signal readings the less the issues with bad weather. These are my readings on a clear day. Could these readings be improved (I'm in East Texas - 75605) or are they as good as they can be? 99b 1-8 98 0 91 0 94 0...

I know that if I connect my HR21/700 to my home network, I can order pay per view movies over the network and avoid a phone connection. Also, I think that I saw something that said I could control recordings over the network. Is there any other capability that results from connection to my...

How can I determine which channels are on which satellite?

I like the new mini-menu (the one when you are in a full screen display and press UP displays a menu of 9 channels choices you can set). I was trying to set the DirecTV News Mix channel as such a choice. When you tune to that channel (352) you are not in full screen and can not access the...

How long is a standard DirecTV pole for a Slimline dish? What are the guidelines for how deeply it should be set?

My location has a lot of trees and want to verify where a dish could be located. Can anyone tell me which DirecTV satellites I will need to be able to see for SD and HD? Or refer me to a site that has this information? My zip is 75605.

I ordered DirecTV yesterday by telephone. I told the CSR that I was pretty sure I would need a pole mount because of line of sight restrictions caused by trees; if my informal analysis is correct, there is no way to attach a dish to the house and have the proper line of sight to the satellites...

I'm not now a subscriber to Directv, but might be soon. Although I will have Directv install the system, I'm trying to determine where my dish might be put. I live in Texas, the Directv pointer says that the Elevation of the satellites is 52 and Azimuth is 188. Elevation, I think, is just the...
