    Compatability question with VOIP

    I have not changed any thing from the original set up. I originally went with Comcast Digital Phone and I had problems with the daily call. I called Comcast tech support and a day later I was completing the calls. I think they adjusted the throughput or speed.

    H20 black screen and reset

    The first H20 I had exhibited the same problem. Get DTV to replace your receiver, I don't think a software down load will help. You can try to force a down load by resetting your receiver and when you get to the welcome message press 2,4,6,8. I am pulling this from memory so if I am...

    Help with "Signal not found error"

    It sounds like the multi switch, but I would first do some troubleshooting. I would first check the cables by splicing the 2 leads from the dish to the leads from the dvr and see what happens(use barrel adapters) this will make sure your cables and dish are in good shape. If everything...

    Why have more then one?

    D* Questions

    1. How did you get the apartment management to agree for the installation of the dish? The D receiver puts out voltage to control the lnbf, cable and d should not share the same cable. Also to get the complete use of the dvr it should have 2 cables. 2. Total Choice is 41.99, 4.99 per extra...

    Why such poor picture?

    Hdmi I use the hdmi output on my 65 inch Mitsubishi and the picture is output in 480p, which puts out a good picture. I had tried a D10 on the same set and was very disappointed in the picture quality. Yes, using a HD receiver makes a big difference.

    All lines are Signal (A)

    You should have the four lines from the dish run to a multiswitch, then to the receivers.
