Hello All, First off, I'd like to say thanks to everyone who posts on these forums. I've gathered quite a bit of information and I'm just beginning to get seriously into the Home Theater arena. I currently have a non HDTV Toshiba RPTV, and I would like to upgrade to HDTV. I'm debating between...
Mike,
You may want to check out E-bay. Just be sure to ask the seller if its compatible with your particular dish. Also be sure to read their feedback from previous transactions. Best of luck.
Robert was correct. I found the text below on another website. So I would have to agree with Robert that the unit sends the 22Khz tone to switch to the other Satellite.
22 KHz Switching DIRECTV Plus Compatible
This Satellite system is designed to support all 3 DIRECTV satellites located at...
Thanks for the input Joe. I'm not sure what to do. I'm thinking about taking out the HU card in my 420 Plus receiver and finding out if my old receiver will get the locals. I sent an E-mail to RCA asking them the question as well. I really don't care about WINK. I have it set up on my new...
Shade,
The multiple-satellite is the 18x24 dish used with DirecTV and is required for HDTV and local channels in certain markets. It picks up multiple satellites at 119,101 and 110 (110 kits are optional and used for Local channels in select locations in NC). I had to switch to the Multi-sat...
Greetings. Does anyone happen to know what the difference is between the DirecTV Plus receiver's and Non-Plus receiver's? Is is a hardware change, or is strictly a matter of the HU cards vs the H cards? I was a former DirecTV customer and recently purchased a Plus System in order to obtain the...
Thanks Dale. I was also a TCI/ATT Digital Cable subscriber and hated it. TCI had bad customer service, but when it went to AT&T it took a turn for the worse. After I cancelled my Digital Cable, I continued to be billed for it as I still kept a lifeline once I went to DirecTV (DirecTv didn't...
Unfortunately, I've tried numerous Antennas (3 or 4 including the expensive Terk Models). I'm located in a Valley, so the reception is very poor. I can get one local NBC feed fairly decent, but the other local Fox, and CBS feeds are very bad. I can't even pull in ABC at all (No Monday Night...
Thanks for your reply. The picture isn't too bad during "regular" TV shows. It appears to only occur when there is rapid movement such as a Hockey game, or Football game.
Greetings,
I am a former DirecTV customer, and switched to the DishNetwork last year because in order to obtain the local channels through DirecTv, I would have had to purchase a new DirecTV Plus system (I'm in Pittsburgh, PA).
I've noticed that during Football game broadcasts on the local...
