I found out today from Tracstar, that in addition to NO HD from DirecTV, if you have the newer receivers from DirecTV you will also have to setup the dish selection on the receivers to ROUND 18" in order for it to work properly. You can not have the dish auto move from 101 to 119 or from 101 to 110 any longer. I replaced both of my receivers yesterday and had problems with them not getting a signal that would hold. I called Tracstar and got some excellent help. Turns out that DirecTV changed their firmware and removed the older oval, a,b,c dish type settings in the receiver that Tracstar used. As a result you need that Round 18" receiver dish type setting for it to work properly.

The tech indicated that there is not much lost by not going to 110 or 119 since HD is not available in any event and your locals would be gone after you move about 200 miles from your home anyway. He said that they are looking into a way to get the HD's back but it would probably be a fix that would only work while stationary. Too hard to get the KA band while moving...would need a much bigger reflector than practical.

So if anyone is still fighting issues with Tracstar and DirecTV, this may help. Mine works great now and I also got the off air AM21 adapter, so I can at least get locals that way.
