Ok, so with the new signal that Directv is now pumping through the cables, my older sat receiver(samsung) now doesnt pull ESPN Gameplan or NFL Sunday Ticket and obv doesnt pull the new HD channels(TBS/ect), which that isnt abig deal, just need Sunday Ticket really as this was on my 4th tv in my entertainent room. Well I talked to support for over 2 hours the last couple weeks and it looks like non brand new directv brand receivers are not going to be compatible for those channels. So here is my problem, I have 2 more tvs coming from PokerStars and just got RCA and some other brand receivers in from ebay which obv won't work either for Sunday Ticket I presume.

My setup currently is 1 big tv, then 3 32 inches on top of that, 1 of those 2 new ones will go up there to put 5 in that room. Right now I can change channels from my chair on 2 of them, one directv/samsung, but since the samsung doesnt work I have to replace it and all receivers will be the same which means the controller will be the same meaning I can only change one at a time, cuz I have to point all the others inwards so it dosnt catch when I'm trying to change channel on big one.

So does anyone know how to setup new controllers to only control one sat box or can I call someone who can make special controllers like they probably do for Nelly(seen his NFL setup on cribs) or what not?

This is obv written very poorly, but hopefully you get the gist of it and someone knows a solution. Thanks a ton!

Try Magnolia Hi Fi or Best Buy, I am sure they will have something. I can't imagine this is a unique problem. A lot of the MHF are in Best Buy's.

They will send out remotes... possibly charge you for em...

I have 4 receivers right now. HD in the living room, standard for the big screen in the garage, DVR in my room, standard in my buddies room. All have separate remotes to control each receiver...

Or did I miss the point?

yeah, one controller can control all of them, I want independent remotes, so that I can sit on my couch and change a few of the tvs instead of at 1 pm on sunday setting the 4 top ones to certain games and then setting the big one to the Bengals game and just switching to diff games while Bengals are on commercials. I want ot change channels on those 4 others.

He needs to somehow change the send and receive codes on the remote and TV.

Matt, check this out, I glanced through it and it sounds like what you need. If it isn't search through the technical help forum and I am sure it will be there. These forums are almost always better than CS. I was on with CS for an iTunes problem for an hour and by the time I finally got to someone who could even comprehend my problem they said there was no fix. Went to the website and found the solution in like 5 minutes (and about 50 people had posted aboutthe same problem).

Anyway

Matt.. so you are saying that the New Dtv doesn't give you the NFL Ticket ???
Or it's not that good ? Thinking of getting it if it works through Cable lines.

More than likely, the issue is on DirecTV's end and, more specifically, not adding Sunday Ticket on that receiver. It's happened in the past... and there is no reason the Sunday Ticket would not be working on one receiver in this case since ESPN and TBS and others come from the exact same satellite the Sunday Ticket comes from. If you are trying to watch HD Sunday Ticket on the Samsung, you may have an issue, but from what you've said so far I'd expect some issue where the programming is messed up on their end. The receiver wouldn't just stop getting it if you are getting other channels.

called them multiple times, we've resetted the receiver, took the card out, did everything, finally they figured out the ppv stuff wasnt working on that receiver anymore, i dont know maybe ill hook up this rca one that came in today and see if that works, well i guess id have to wait til saturday to see if it worked.

The New receiver, Is that through the Dish ? or the New one that runs through Cable ?

Only reason I ask, is because I have a Condo down in Fl. that won't let me put a Dish up. But they have Cable...
Someone told me about the new Receivers that some how run through The Cable ??
