    problems with XP SP3

    I had a very serious audio problem, basically SP3 no longer supports HD audio. If you try to load updated audio drivers, you cannot load the MS UAA drivers, this leaves you with an unknown PC device that won't install. Windows XP SP3 Not Even out the Door and Already in Need of Fixing? -...

    What we are hearing...

    I love this site for tracking gas prices. The graph tells the whole story. http://www.eia.doe.gov/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/wrgp/mogas_home_page.html note Jan 2007 was where gas prices took off again, Just about when the new Congress took over.

    DBSTalk.com is down!!

    What bothers me most about this whole situation is that Directv management gave the CSR's the 19 Sept date and told them to distribute it. Now that that date has not materialized, they have left the CSR's hanging in the wind with no update and no additional information. A poor way for a...

    DIRECTV Getting Sued over HD Lite

    In court, you can demonstrate that the HD lite format is not anywhere in the ATSC spec, which is the definition of HD. http://www.atsc.org/standards/a_53e-with-Amend-1-and-2.pdf Clearly D* loses, what next? D* agrees to broadcast at 1280X720P or 1920X1080i, thus meeting the ATSC...

    Setup question--Video out to 2nd TV?

    I run both of the composite/audio signals from the back of my D10 at the same time, works fine. On my H10 I send HDMI to an HDTV and composite video to a computer, that works fine also.

    Need to run 2 recievers from 1 cable. How?

    I assume you have a D* box and are trying to split the signal from your satellite dish. If my assumptions are correct, you are out of luck. The onle solution is run another coax.

    Blackouts

    If this is true, and D* has nothing to do with negotiating the blackout rules, then why isn't cable subject to the same rules? They aren't, I have already checked with cable companies and verified what they said with friend who have cable. D* negotiates these rules with MLB and FSN, they get...

    Major News in HD?

    We receive FOX SUNDAY MORNING NEWS in HD from our local FOX station OTA. Don't depend on D* to provide you anything in HD. In fact the have recently renegotiated the HD sports blackout rules to take away much of the HD sports they were already providing. See my recent post titled BLACKOUT.

    Blackouts

    ON 8/2/2006 I spent two hours on the phone with Directv, trying to get an answer (BTW I was disconnected 4 times, thank goodness for the redail button). Here are the basic parameters. I have HD service, MLB extra innings, and the Sports pack. I live in southern TN (my assigned " home" teams are...

    Gospel Lands DirecTV Slot

    Only 9% of Americans may own HDTV's, but remember that 9% probably controls 90% of the discretionary spending (that's how they could afford an HDTV in the first place) . That 9% are the ones who buy D* premium channels, PPV, etc. And if they aren't high rolllers, then they are high tech...
