Is it possible to hook up a friends receiver to my system?

[sabre3]

Do you know how to get in and do a manual setup while it is trying to do it itself?

What is the make and model again? I we can help try to step you through it. I have to run kids to games, so if you lose me soon I know there are others waiting to help out too.

its an h20 HD DVR

 

[charper1]

A Hr20 ? Isn't there a GUIDED setup for this model?

 

[sabre3]

sorry...yes an hr20

 

[sabre3]

so it looks like I might have to have a 5lnb dish to use it

The HR20 does not require a 5lnb, just set both 95 and 72.5 to off for now during setup. They aren't required for NFL ST anyway.

Your locals likely come off of 72.5 but who cares about that for now?

Just set it for the correct dish type and leave everything you don't need off. It should work fine.

Aha....turning 72.5 off did it. I got NFL ST. You guys rock.

What a great forum. Happy new year to you all. Looks like i have yet another forum to be a regular at.

Now for a different question. Why would 72.5 be the problem? During set up it says it sees it fine.

Glad to see you got it going, I hope you were wanting to see the late games, as the early are about over now.

Not sure why the 72 would be a problem ... IF you have an OTA antenna, you can go back in and set that up under sat and antenna.

I know you mentioned the Chargers game , they are on 716, only in SD unfortunatly.
While your at it , check out the HD games starting at 719 and up today.

Of course, if you see the HD games, you might not want to watch the other games in SD.

Thanks for the info. I am not new to HD. I have had it all season, just not the ticket. My OTA gets my local games in HD and the ESPN and NFLN games have been HD also. I just want to see the Last Charger game of the yaer at my own house. So i got this up just in time!!!

OK, just got back and see you got it working; I knew it was the non-std sats giving you the issues. Hope you got to see your game(s). And now you know how to do it for next time.
