anyone here??
need help with my dish, I think the wind knocked it out of whack.
I have no idea how to aim the dish.
PM Justin or Somedude
tour also. He is a real angry guy though.
If you can reach it, get someone to help you. Just call that person on your cell phone and have them watch the signal meter screen. Just look around in the menu, you’ll see it. Then just flex the dish a little to the left or right. When the signal goes up, your good to go.
That would probably be faster then getting DTV out or getting one of the dudes on here over on New Years Eve.
Probably moved the mast and it is un level
I didn’t want to start another thread…
My wife scheduled Direct TV to come out next Monday to upgrade to HD.
I need to know what the HD dish requires because I remember last time the guy said it has “support arms” or something like that. My current dish is mounted on a chase and has little room for “support arms”. I don’t want them to show up Monday and tell me they can’t mount it.
Can anyone help please?
Edit: The kid was whiney the first time and left without mounting the dish and I had to do it myself.(I think he was afraid of heights or something)
my best friend works for directv as a tech/installer, pm me and i can get you in touch with him
I didn’t want to start ANOTHER Direct tv thread. We should just have an official Direct TV thread.
So I finally got HD after another amazing Direct TV fiasco, is it normal for the receiver to take about 6 or 7 seconds to change channels? It is very frustrating while channel surfing. It is 2009, it doesn’t seem like it should take 7 seconds to change a damn TV channel. lol
you need to turn the box in settings to 1080i. its auto formatting the picture and will cause a delay.
The installers don’t do that for you???
^My installer LEFT WITHOUT EVEN INSTALLING THE FILTERS REQUIRED FOR HD.
In other words I had ZERO HD channels when he left.
Like I said, another Direct TV fiasco, everytime I have to deal with them it is a disaster.
Thanks for the advise nitro, I will try it when I get home tonight.
I now work for dtv…i can give you the filters
do you know the techs name who came to your house? should be on your work order/copy of your install recipet he should have gave you
Look fuck that job,fuck ladders,fuck trying to make a difference for future employees.I would sell crack before I went back to halstead
lol ahahah gotta agree
This is some funny shit! I LOLed!
I can add to it, Fuck falling off roofs, fuck scummy people and their dirty ass houses with poop on the floor, fuck scummy people expecting you to babysit their kids as you try to set-up their system… it just goes on and on!!!
He told my wife his name was Antonio but I noticed the work order(which I never got a copy of) said Wilber and the caller id said Wiber Ortega.
I made him come back at 10:00pm to give me my filters.
After talking to him I learned he was from El Slavador, his parents lived in California now and he lived in Arlington VA. California, El Salvador, and Arlington VA all have a strong MS13 presence. I think Direct TV sent a member from a notorious gang to my house.:roflpicard: That would explain why he didn’t really seem to know what he should have.:biglaugh:
I once did a pole mount.The lady fucking left with her kid outside with me like I babysit
I work for DirecTV, if you need anything done PM me. This goes for anyone on NYSpeed, I do not make a commission off you, just want to see things installed correctly.
The huge problem we have right now (which will likely also mean your HD Dish was installed like shit and not going to work for very long) is we have tons of guys in from out of town to help pick up the extra work load. These guys do not have to warranty their work for 90days like I do. I have been cleaning up after them for weeks now. They do very half-assed jobs that usually stop working within 20min of them leaving your house and that’s even if it works when the leave. PM if you have anymore issues, I can stop by and take a look at it if you would like too.
justin this may be a stupid question that im just to dumb to figure out but when i had my first hd reciever installed the guy who did it took out the duplicate standard def channels…long story short i got another reciver for a dif room hooked it up myself and cant disable the duplicates…can you explain to me how to do that?
