i want to change my zip code on my reciever. i go to MENU then SET UP but the screen with teh zipcode says that its only for a professional installer. I would like to try to change the zip code to see if i get a different selection of channels. Please let me know if you know if i can change this so i can get mychannels from my hometown.

you cannot do this on the reciever. the zipcode entry on the unit for installers is for them to punch in and get the aiming directions for the dish. the channels you recieve are controlled by DirecTV, and is controlled directly by your billing address. you can't get that changed to get differnet channels short of actually moving. FCC rules strictly prohibit the reception of affilate feeds outside of thier area via satellite.

All of the above are wrong I travel and change the Zip code every time I stop to get the setting for that area so I know how to point my dish.
