...Video accessories: Converters: Zenith DTT900 Digital-to-Analog Converter Box So far, I've only found two other online stores with the box: * BSAT's converter box store (also linked from the official site) sells only the Artec T3A-PRO, though they still show pictures of the Coship N9900T...

If any HD channel were changed to 180i (that's less than half the resolution of SD), I wouldn't go to a board; I'd call my state's attorney general. Perhaps you meant 1080i?

...until the sale is approved, apparently to meet FCC requirements.) KPBI will join MyNetworkTV when it launches, but whether it remains on E* is unknown. Ordinarily, E* doesn't carry low-power stations; apparently the only reason KPBI was picked up by E* was that it was the Fox affiliate...

...of the CBS affiliate, so unless they offer an HD feed to cable and/or satellite, it will never be HD. If you're referring to HD superstations, or to HD versions of the out-of-market UPN/WB stations (Miami, San Diego, etc.) now being included with LIL in DMAs without UPN or WB, that's E*'s...

Under SHVERA, E* is required to assign every part of Alaska to one of the state's DMAs, even if Nielsen doesn't. So your only legal option is for E* to offer you locals from Alaska (probably Anchorage as you suggested). A side effect is that the same law also sets a deadline for E* to offer...

...to get a 622 is to fork over $299 for the privilege of leasing. I was also a 522 customer, but unlike you, I had Comcast as an option; even my E* retention rep couldn't budge on the $299, though she was willing to give me a 211 (HD non-DVR). And D* charges even more for leasing a non-MPEG4...

My old 522 setup was similar to Allin4greeN's except my DSL filter was between the two duplex jacks. In fact, the phone lines are still there, including the 25' run (thru a groove under my front door) to where the 522 was. I had no connection problems at all.

...locals, they should have appeared automatically; the new Little Rock spotbeam did on mine (before I switched to Comcast). If you're (b), call E* and let them know you're out of the new spotbeam; if you're also outside Springfield's Grade B contours (likely), you may now be eligible for...

True; that's why I went to Comcast. Is that perhaps why D* still charges more for their HD DVRs (even the non-Tivo ones), even though they're not MPEG-4 yet? Why can't E* do something like this for their existing customers? (Oh, I forget: E* hardly did ANYTHING for their existing...

As someone else in this thread said, different strokes... I even told my E* retention rep that I knew E* had more HD channels than Comcast. (I already wish I had Universal HD, if only for HD "Law & Order" reruns; I watch a lot of those on USA, especially SVU and lately CI.) But one of the...

...(BTW, Comcast does have Little Rock NBC in HD now; they just haven't put it in the lineup yet.) HD locals solves my biggest PQ problem with E*--overcompression of local channels (as someone else noted). And with the OTA HD reception issues here (ABC & PBS are low-power and blocked...

Well, less than a week after testing signal strength for the Little Rock switchover to E*10, I'm leaving SBC/AT&T Dish; my Comcast install is tomorrow morning. I'm not that dissatisfied with E*, but I just upgraded from a 13" TV to a 27" HDTV; that obviously made E*'s PQ issues noticeable...

I wonder how the Little Rock move affected subscribers in outlying DMAs that receive KETS (Little Rock PBS/AETN) as a statewide channel. I don't believe the entire state can see 110 TP 18 spotbeam 15 (though I think the Arkansas areas of Shreveport, Monroe-El Dorado and Greenwood-Greenville...

...most of you assume he still needs the FSS feed (105 or 121) on the SuperDish; but he may well be in a market where LIL has been moved from FSS to E*10. If so, the installer could manually aim the SuperDish at 129 (it needs to be manual because a SuperDish aims at its FSS feedhorn), then feed...

"26s13" means transponder (frequency) 26, spotbeam 13. Spotbeam satellites like E*10 can reuse the same frequency (TP #) on different spotbeams as long as they don't overlap. So for example, you can only receive Detroit locals if you're in the footprint of E*10 spotbeam 13; if you are, they...

Nope; Internet access is exempt from the tax. (I read the bill.) If it wasn't, the tax would violate the Internet Tax Freedom Act.

...a test pattern). This seems to be a good sign for reducing rain-fade problems here. Edit: PQ seems to be significantly improved as well. E*'s PQ problems became obvious to me when I recently switched from a 13" RF-only set to a 27" HDTV; but for example, KTHV (CBS) on E* is just...

I think you hit the nail on the head; that's a Cox site (see http://www.digitalstraighttalk.com/about/ ).

"Northeast" usually doesn't mean anything south or west of Pennsylvania (such as the old Ameritech region); when you get up there, the only SBC/AT&T territory is Connecticut (SNET). Being from one of the original Southwestern Bell states, I certainly know where SBC/AT&T's territory is.

And I doubt it will ever be available in any northeastern state other than Connecticut (the only one that's SBC/AT&T territory). Arkansas, OTOH, is another story...

Here's an example of profiteering in HD cables: The EXACT SAME Philips HD cables cost less than half as much at Sam's Club as they do at Wal-Mart, and they probably come from the same factory and same warehouse: 6' DVI cable (PXT1190): $12.63 vs. $27.46 6' HDMI/DVI cable (PXT1196): $19.87...

Hope for your sake that happens before February 17, 2009; I wonder if it will. I'm kinda of two minds on this: I was needing a new TV anyway (my 522 was feeding a 13" with RF-only inputs!), so I didn't want anything less than a full-blown HDTV due to the 2/17/09 deadline and the silliness of...

I think the plaintiff-friendly side of the U.S. Post Office & Courthouse there (the only Federal office building on a state line) is the Texas side. The Arkansas side's in the Western District of Arkansas, which also covers highly-conservative Northwest Arkansas--home to Wal-Mart, Tyson, and...

In recent years, they don't even have to be owned by the same people anymore. WMC-TV Memphis (now Raycom Media) was separated from WMC-AM/FM (now CBS Radio, fka Infinity) in 1998, but they still share the same grandfathered call letters from when Scripps-Howard (before 1993) and Ellis...
