I'm a little frustrated right now, so I wanted to check in with people in the know to make sure my reading of the D website is correct. I live in zip code 52405, which means I need to have the Sports Pak to have FS-MW. This is the only channel I want out of the Sports Pak. I currently have...

Hello, I've been doing the MRV thing for quite a while on my wired Ethernet network with no DECA. Sadly, my HR21 seems to have bit the dust and will no longer receive a signal from my SWM. I've verified that the problem is isolated to the receiver. I plan on calling DirecTV to get them...

Hello, I recently bought a house, and moved the DirecTV setup I had along and did a self-install as to not extend my contract. The setup is a 5LNB Slimline with a wing dish for 72.5, connected to a SWM-8 and run into the house. Signals on all satellites except for 119 are in the mid to high...

Hello all, My experience with DirecTV has been well enough that I'd like to add an additional HD receiver in the guest bedroom (doubles as my PC room). I'd like to order it off of the website for convenience--is there any way to know what model reciever would be shipped to me? I'd like an H21...

Hey guys, I'll preface this by saying I've never done the CE program before, however, I'm a software engineer and typically enjoy debugging things :) I have both an H21 and an HR21. To get MRV, will upgrading only the H21 to the CE release be sufficient, or does the HR21 need to be on CE as...

Is SWM a part of the standard install for DirecTV? I moved into a new condo, and this place already has one wire coming into the living room from a DirecTV dish on the roof. I'm not sure what kind of dish that is on the roof, as I'm way out of date on what they all look like. I'd like to have...

Hello, I posted a similar question to this in the EA thread, but didn't receive much feedback.. I live in Cedar Rapids, IA, 52403. The condo I live in has an Eastern facing private patio, and I have permission from the landlords to install on it. The building will prevent LOS to all of the...

Hello, When I lived with my parents in St. Louis, we had Dish Network TV service for quite a few years. We had a much more pleasant experience with the Dish receivers and customer service much more than the DirecTV service we had previously. I'm now on my own in a different state, and...
