the whole dtv cinema adapter thing is stupid anyway, since it is a modem just for pay per view (does not make sense to me--why can't they route my dvr through my modem?) But in any case, I got mine for free during my install last July.
pressing buttons 12 times over....stupid way to fix it...DirecTV should have had things in working order at noon ET today, as big as they allegedly are!

I think they have been calling all HD channels by the name HD Platinum. At least that is the service that appears on my bill for HD (I have the classic silver package)
