    Two HR20's with no response to the Remote!

    If I have 2 HR20's in the same room can I program one remote to work with them, but on separate channels? Like code 001 would be for #1 and 002 would be for #2?

    Ex-Con Installing DirecTV In Memphis

    I live in Memphis also. If you knew Andy Wise and how he reports, you would realize how big of a tool he is. I don't know how someone got this dude's name and past, but this is just the kind of story he would shoot. I'd have no problem with this dude doing my install if I decided to stay with...

    DirecTV MPEG4 Rollout to begin

    National channels are channels other than local networks. So yes, the ones you mention are national because the whole nation can recieve them. There are plans for other channels to go HD. Some are talked about and listed at the AVS site.

    DirecTV MPEG4 Rollout to begin

    Ok, since I will have an extra 5x8 switch, could I plug the antenna into the ANT input, and run those cables out from switch to the stb's? That would cut out splitters and diplexors.

    DirecTV MPEG4 Rollout to begin

    Someone said that the flex ports can't be used for OTA. So which part of the multiswitch can we use OTA? I have 3 active HD stb's and 3 non-active (love ebay) and might still need OTA capabilites if I de-activate an stb.

    Rumor - Free Hd Equipment From Direct?

    Even tho this is all just rumor, this is my concern. If it is for new customers, what will they do for existing customers. If D* gave me a comparable reduced monthly bill, equivalent to my HD stb's, then I would consider the 2 year agreement.

    The fax talks about NEW subscribers. I have 3 e-86's and 1 HD-tivo. Did I miss where they mentioned a swap out for existing subs?

    More HD? When?

    Thanks for the info. Right now I have an E86 and an HDTivo in the living room. When 2 programs are recording we can still watch other shows. Now if I can use the HDTivo during the overlap period if there is not an HD DVR, I will probably still have the same type setup, but the E86 will be...

    More HD? When?

    Longhorn, Do you know if we will be able to be signed up for both -2 & -4 at the same time? If D* doesn't have an HD DVR by the time Memphis is up on the new sats I would still want to record HD from D* on my HDTivo. Will I be able to have other -4 boxes but still keep and use the HDTivo for D*...

    More HD? When?

    Actually, depending on which day it was, he could've watched a Suns game in HD on D*. D* broadcasts both NBA-TV HD and FSN HD games. For FSN, only those who are in the broadcasters region will get the game in HD. For ex: I recieve FSN South. When a Grizz game is broadcast in HD by FSN South...

    More HD? When?

    I wonder how early you will have to order ST to guarantee getting the games in HD

    so its been what.. about a week now...

    I'm a newlywed & have HD, so I got the best of both worlds :D It is good to see that D* knows that we do care about the PQ. I just hope once the Spaceway sat's go up they will also work on the SD channels PQ.
