DirecTV 10 Signal Reading Thread(Transponders are Hot!)

[mrmageaux]

I got bupkis down here in so flo this morning......steve615, i got the same error message after checking, had to reboot hr20-700

 

[ScoBuck]

is this your hunch or what you might be hearing?

I have been told that - Scott G has also been told that. But I must say again, whether its Saturday or next Wednesday, I don't care, it is NO BIG DEAL (to me).

You can include me in that too. Although I hope FSN Ohio/Cincinnati comes online before the Reds game starts that wednesday so I can watch one game in HD this year.

After rebooting the HR20-700,everything came back on like it was before the reboot.I went into the Playlist and there were 3 new recordings in the Showcase,previews of new shows from NBC network.The odd thing about these recordings to me is they show channel 1010 on the info when viewing them.I checked our program guide (All Channels),but channel 1010 does not show up. I checked signal strengths again on 103b.It shows all zeroes on all TPs currently.

After waiting years, days ain't gonna kill me either. I have bigger things to worry about. But the HD any day is still exciting as heLL.

It's exciting, but I do worry about the frantic behaviour of some of our members.

People are sitting in front of their expensive HD monitors - WATCHING A SIGNAL METER for gosh sakes.

I guess its ok for a minute or two here and there - but yesterday people were saying they wanted to go home from work early to watch the signal meter!

Folks watch grass grow in HD so why not?

If they continue to watch the signal meters after the Bird is lit up, then they have a problem

I too got this error message. Unable to change channels because all tuners were recording, even though they weren't. Rebooted and problem solved.

Just talked to a CSR...said they were going to start turning on HD channels on the 19th.

 

[mluntz]

All 0's here right now in Maryland. Missed all the fun yesterday!

Oh yep, that was fun, getting goosebumps everytime transponder 11 woke up on the b.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I hear we should see signals again early this evening. (Just no channels yet)

Interesting... the one I spoke to last night said the 16th... gotta love CSR roulette!

 

[spectrumsp]

I spoke with a CSR the other day when my -100 melted...that CSR said the turn-on was the 19th. Just got off the phone again with another CSR to turn on the replacement...asked the question again...it's now Monday, the 17th.

After having read numerous posts here regarding what CSRs, installers, etc have told members, I think D* has several contests ongoing at their help centers...the basis of the contest is that each D* section has been given a different turn-on date, and when questioned by a customer they are to give out that date...

1) which sections gets their date posted the most wins a prize, and

2) which D* employee can get his/her rumor on this and other boards the quickest also wins a prize...

Hopefully they'll post the winners!

Just a thought...

In regards to the tuners not appearing to record,did you check your playlist/showcases after rebooting axl?When this happened to me this morning,the record light wasn't lit up on the receiver.But,after I rebooted,I went into my playlist and looked around.There were 3 new recordings in the showcase section,all previews of shows coming up on the NBC network.
