Thanks for your comments... but I am dropping D* tonight.

...warranty, so I expect that I will get a similiar (if not identical) box. But turns out I don't get what I expected. Fkostyn, my second call to D* was to customer retention... they want to to commit another year before they would send me a box as good as GAEBOA. I said no. Probably I...

Is that a Samsung-made receiver? I was in the local Wal-Mart yesterday and I see them using the exact same receiver in their D* HD showcase. The only different is that the top left D* logo is replaced by Samsung.

After I followed charper1's suggestion... turns out my receiver is dead. Call D* and they sent me a replacement -- a lousy D10-100!! I lost Dolby Surround Sound, RF remote, VCR connection, optical audio output........... and the picture quality is worse than my GAEBOA. I called D*, and they...

Reset the receiver... still the same thing. Also I found that all my local channels (72.5) are all missing -- not just "no signal".

Strom hit my town last night and we got a blackout. When the power comes back, my GAEBOA box no longer works... Sat B & C works fine, but I got these strength readings from Sat A... 0 0 91 0 87 85 0 0 0 93 93 0 0 86 0 0 0 0 88 60 92 0 91 87 87 88 85 0 87 92 90 91 And "searching for...

My GAEBOA does the same thing.

can you post a picture of the "big oval dish"?

I saw the D* logo on the same ad on MediaCom cable... Looks like it's part of the ad, not a D* addon.

With locals: (AT120 w/o local - 37.99) + (local - 5.99) = 43.98 (TC - 41.99) = 41.99 However, if I can get locals using an antenna, or D* does not provide locals to my area: (TC - 41.99) - (local - 3.00) = 38.99 :no :mad: :( :shocked (AT120 w/o local - 37.99) = 37.99

Why don't you give us a list of what channels AT120 gives to subs that TC does not have? Also the "paid annually" discount? If a person is bounded by the one-year contract and he choose to pay annually, AT120 is cheaper than TC. Less channels on AT120? It's just what they pay for.

Well D* needs this channel move to justified the rate increase for TC without adding new stuff (and bandwidth) -- after all, TC has the highest rate increase, percentage-wise.

But the D* return instruction says you don't have to send back the old remote... you can use your old remote on your new receiver.

Many people I know get a SD HBH too as a replacement. SD HBH is a "Director's Pack", not a "Executive Director's Pack". It might be newer, but just not as good as the GAEBOA.

Just math. I don't believe so. Let's do some nonsense math (I know I am doing trash talk by commenting D* based on E*). From a quote during the Viacom/E* dispute, a 40% rate increase to E* cost only 6 cents more, and that covers 8 of the TC 85 non-shopping video channels, or 0.75 cents...

Is it really true that there will be no price protection for those who are still on their 1-year contract?

No offense, but THIS is exactly why we are getting rate increase -- Free Stuff to a few. Don't tell me ever again that D* invest in new sat, this and that. No! Real reason? Free Stuff to new subscribers, free stuff to people with good relations with customer retention, and under-priced (if...

How? I don't see it! At most you can keep your price until your 1-year contract expires. That is, you call D* on 2/28 and somehow to make them require you to commit a year contract (I don't know how without purchasing anything, all I can think of is maybe a receiver replacement, or purchase a...

A person on the Tier-2 line told me that GAEB0/GAEB0A are not the only Hughes receivers in trouble. They received reports that some HAH-SA/HBH-SA/SD-HBH also got the bad update, and upon request, they will send out new reciever to owners of bad HAH-SA/HBH-SA/SD-HBH.

100 more shopping channels.

So what will be the replacement? GAEBOA has RF remote, SRS surround sound, IR control to VCR, S-video, 2 RCA-output, and an optical output. So far I've seen nothing as good as, if not better than, this one on the non-HD level.... Anything not as good as the GAEBOA is just a rip off.

What version is the "bad" update? My GAEB0A does not show an update in the upgrade page of the manual and it's working very well.

...subscribe to a higher tier. - Invest in hardware to overcompress the picture quality. - Invest in public relations to make the world think that they are not as greedy as E* and cable companies. - Invest in developing receiver boxes that are no better than those manufactured by other companies.

Event ended. Hong Kong TVB's fundraising show for the tsunami victims is showing on D*, channels 450, 451, 452, and 453. These channels are going to be free for everyone tonight. Please support the fundraising, watch the program and call 888-618-6388 donate.

Can somebody give me some insight on why D* is dropping FSN Chicago? Is Fox dropping the channel, or just because the CSN Chicago contract is cheaper? I've been watching those 2 channels for a month now and all I can see is there are a whole lot more paid programming on CSN Chicago.
