Where can I find where it says this?

Channel 394 now says: "Distant Network Signal Update". Info says: "Important call to action for Kentucky distant signal subscribers."

Via Twitter @SatelliteGuys What does this mean for D* customers?

Didn't do what right? I called more than once and asked about it before ordering. Each time they came back and said I had to pay $50 for each tuner. Maybe if all CSRs and their supervisors were all on the same page, they would be doing it right by informing the would-be customer about this...

I had no locals at all at the time I ordered, and it was not any different. They were going to charge $50 for the AM21.

I lived in a no-locals market and the CSR was clueless on what the AM21 was. After consulting with her supervisor, they would not budge on the $50 charge. The thing that worked for me is I specifically requested the HR20 to put in the tech installation notes, and I got two of them. Yes they...

The difference isn't significant, but it's consistently lower on the standard receivers than on the HD DVRs. I just wondered why the same signal would be computed as lower on the standards.

Why are signal levels higher on my HR dvrs than they are on the D12 standard receivers?

I like the HR20 aside from the hard drive. Even if D* carries your locals, many times subchannels are not included so the only way to pick them up is from OTA. The HR20 is the only model with that built in support.

All my signals are in the 90s on 101 and sometimes I see a 100. On 99c and 103c I get high 80s or low 90s. Should I expect to see a few more 100s or are my expectations for signal strength too high?

I've been noticing a glitch in ESPNHD for the past week where it seems like it pauses for a split second and then goes on to normal. It will do this every few minutes like it isn't processing a frame and just makes a stop/stutter effect. Most may not even notice it. It's doing it on both of...

What is this all about? from dishnetwork twitter: "Versus HD & SD (Ch. 151) is FREE for all DISH Network subs for 3 MONTHS starting TODAY."

"We are getting word from unofficial sources at DirecTV that Versus will be removed tonight at Midnight." from SatelliteGuys twitter.

There's not a huge difference, but I do think D* is much more efficient and consistent in the customer service aspect. I did have some different HD channels (Travel, Lifetime, LMN, Hallmark Movie Network) but I also didn't have Spike or FX on Dish then either, so it's like a see-saw with who's...
