I'm setting up a camper with a SD-TV, a surplus S-3 dish, 3 LNBSs with 4ports, Zinwidie multi-switch 6/8.  I'm getting a strong signal on the meter and thru the mulitswitch, but receiver is not sending a picture.  Keep getting error 771 "SEARCHING FOR SIGNAL".  I have tried adjusting to every dish s

I'm thinking about upgrading my remote from the IR type to the RF type. Is the RF signal strong enough to pierce through obstructions like a cabinet door?

Not sure what's going on here. can only record one channel at a time and have to watch that channel as it records. I have a HR22-100 DVR and did a signal test thru the dvr, tuner 1 gets a strong signal. Tuner 2 gets nothing. thinking it might have got wet from the past storm. I checked all the conne

I have a RV tripod setup for a Phase III Satellite Dish (3 lnb 18x20). I have pointed this thing succesfully a few times during travels. This time it was a no go. I checked all my positions. They are right. I have one of those dish pointer hand held things.. it's getting a strong signal..When I go t

I recently lost signal to my TV. For the past few days I had been missing channels here and there. When I unplugged the receiver to reset it, they always came back. However, the most recent time, I unplugged the receiver while on a 'lost' channel and this time, none of the channels returned. Based o

I have a standard receiver I use both in my home and in my motor home.  The motor home uses a Winegard Dish.  I had no connectivity problems prior to six months ago but now cannot get a sat signal.  My dish is at the proper coordinates and my signal finder shows a strong signal.  However, I get the

I recently changed my internet service and plugged my receiver into a new router.  Coming from the receiver is the deca, which then connects to the router.  All connections are secure, all lights are on.  Also, network set up says I am connected to the internet, Apps function properly, and I can bro

Hi I am getting strong signal on Directv satellite 101 and 119 but very weak signal on 99 and 103.I am able to get some HD channels but on many HD channels I get error 771 but the SD duplicate of those channels works fine.What do I need to do?

Context: I am setting up my own satellite (for reasons I won't go into here). I have a very strong signal on 101, with pretty puny signals (15-30, with some zeros and lower digits thrown in) on 99ca, 99cb, 103ca, and 103cb. First & less important question: are these other satellites still con

I've been on hold and transferred from person to person for 2hrs 10min. Any ideas what to do?

Have nomad set up on Iphone and Ipad.  It is direct connect to my FIOS router.  It seems to be taking a VERY long time to download to the mobile apps.  Definitely not a 1:1.  Any suggestions on how to fix.  All DVRs connected fine, same home network, etc.  This is now starting to seem like a huge wa

It's not personal, but I hate you, DirectTV. Around 3 years since we moved and had to switch. The service has never worked right (771 error, constantly) and the our disconnected from internet day 2 and never worked. Oh, I've called. I cannot dedicate my life on hold.   IF there is a better way to re

What, exactly, does the iPhone--a mobile phone/internet device/widescren iPod--have to do with indie filmmaking? Well, a lot. The movie download market must prepare for a great new phase as we look forward to more and more great devices capable of playing our content.For independent content to survi

II just ordered HD service and replaced standard dish with Slimline-3.  I'm getting a good signal (95-97%) on transponders 28,30, and 32 on the satellite at 101 deg. but 0% on the other 29.  For the satellite at 72.5 deg., I'm getting a signal on transponders 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 at 67-69%.  All others

DirecTV's customer service is atrocious.  Our box has been frozen for several days.  It has been literally IMPOSSIBLE for us to speak to a human being on the phone.  This kind of customer abuse is what destroyed companies like Sprint.  You are definitely heading in that direction. The error code on

Hi, I've been having some trouble with our DirecTV setup. We had been experiencing some issues receiving some HD channels (ESPN-HD, CNN-HD) while others have come in just fine (Fox News-HD), etc. To try to isolate the issue, we tried a bunch of things including re-aiming and even replacing the dish
