I never thought I'd sound like a commercial for the cable company, whom
I couldn't stand. But my experience so far with DirecTV has been a
nightmare. I've given up on the other issues (lies about getting Weather
Channel "Local on the 8's", whether I need a phone line, charging extra
for high-def NFL Sunday ticket broadcasts, weather "won't affect your
signal"), but if someone could help with our most serious problem below,
I'd appreciate that and probably be happy.
What happens is that we often go to watch a channel, or during a show,
the screen just whites out and we get the 771 searching for satellite.
Then we have to reset the box and everything is fine (after waiting
about 15 minutes while it says "Almost done"). So the problem shouldn't
be the dish alignment - everything is fine after a box reset! I think
this only happens on our main box, the HD/DVR one. The worst part is
that when we record shows on the DVR and this happens, we get nothing.
