I'm in Columbia, MD (between Balt and DC) and Directv can't install my HR20 until mid-Oct. I'm only switching out receivers, so I was hoping to get a hold of my local office to see if they'll just swing by and sign off that they installed it. I called D* and got the home office number. How do...

All games that show up as being in HD on the NFL Network schedule are in fact in HD, but interestingly enough are on channel 212 (the SD channel). The first HD game is at 3 am with the 49ers, and the replay of the Jets at 10 AM is the second HD game of the schedule. I'm surprised to find it on...

The NFL Network is broadcasting 18 games in HD during preseason. It'll be interesting if D* puts these games on one of the channels in the 90's. I mean, D* is supposed to be the home of the NFL, right? It seems wrong that E* would be showing HD NFL games that D* doesn't.

Look at the new offer for NFLST and SF. At the bottom, in small print, it now says that to access sf that a phone line is REQUIRED (and yes, it is all capitalized like that). What do you make of that? That's definitely new. I'm one of those nerds that habitually reads all small print I find.

Okay, lots of experience with the r10, h10, and h20, but new to the hr10-250. When I go to test the OTA signal strength, it allows me to check channels from 2-69, but not sub-channels like 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, etc etc. Well, no one here broadcasts digital signals on 2, 4, 7, etc, just the...

When I was going through my "change programming" system, which I do periodicially, there are two choices: Premium for $99 or Premium for $49/first month, save $50. Also, for the plus package it says Plus for $49 or Plus for $0/first month, save $49. I have the lowest tier package...

Okay, picked up the H20 while I still could and must say that I agree that OTA seems to be A LOT better. Several stations at a full 100% (I didn't know if went that high:) ). It might be a 'placebo' effect, but I do think the picture is better as well. So, a few questions. 1) The...

Announced on Friday, NFL network's going to have 8 regular season games on Thurs and Sat nights. Guess this is a ploy to get all the cable companies to add NFL network? Doesn't this decrease the value of DirecTV's deal? They can't be too happy. And I suppose that D* will have to show the HD...

My wife hates where it is and would prefer it on its side next to the TV. Any problems with this?

It looks like this is pretty common. You can just buy it and hook it up yourself and call in to get it activated? Any problems with the H20 and the triple LNB dish? Does cust svc give you any flack about it? Might as well do it now while the rebate exists and before the leasing starts...

Okay, so put up the 200 bones for the H10 and was patiently waiting for the upgrade to hit Baltimore. Now the lease thing. Here are my questions: 1) I put the money into this thing. If the upgrade doesn't hit my area until after March 1, then when it does, I'll be leasing a H20. Should I...

What do you guys make of this? Went to Best Buy in Columbia, MD, part of the Baltimore DMA (#24), and there's 3 H-20's next to 3 H-10's, stacked in a way that would make you think that one of each had just been purchased. And to top it off, both models are on display side-by-side. What do you...

I am thinking hard about these sports subscriptions. If you order them online, how long does it take for them to get activated? For example, if it's a Sunday at 2pm and you order NFLST or SuperFan online, does it instantaneously come on? I mean, are these handled like pay-per-views? What...

Will this work? I have a way to get my R10 mirrored from my bedroom into my living room into my HDTV set so that I can use the split screen function for football purposes. But the cable I'll mirror it through is currently being used by my OTA (I'm using rabbit ears on my fence because, in my...

I've read a lot from the vets on here about not getting Superfan, not submitting to the HD tax, etc etc. Well, I just hooked up HDTV at my house, activated ST, and here's my thoughts. After watching a few games in SD, there is NO WAY I'M NOT GETTING SUPERFAN. I mean, are you kidding??? I...

I thought I read somewhere that there is a channel with test patterns to tweak the picture, but I've searched and can't find it. Any help?

Well, though I've posted quite a bit, it won't be until tomorrow that the installers come-- finally. To you grizzled veterans out there, any traps or bogus charges I should keep an eye open for with my installer? I know that, though the installation is "free", nothing really is and expect them...

I'm sure this has been rehashed but I've searched the forums and can't find the answer I need. H10 with HDMI to 50" WEGA with DVI. Less than 4 feet away. What's the best option? It seems like everyone thinks an HDMI to DVI cable, not an adapter. Okay, then which one? Everyone seems to think...

I thought the active button was for interactive programming. Why did they put an active button on the remote of it's not capable of being interactive? :confused:

Okay, I've finally made my decision. Looked online, couldn't find a local retailer in Columbia (Maryland), so (ugh) went to Best Buy. Picked up the H10 and the free (after MIR of course) DVR. We go through the process and, at the very end, tells me the first available install date is in 3...

Okay, this is MY scenario. Ready to get directv. I have been pushing rabbit ears on by 50" WEGA for a month waiting for the NFLST promo. These are my questions: - I have two rooms with TVs that are RARELY watched (i.e., 1-2 times a year). Can I get the D* programming that is being fed to one...

I've been cruising the sites for a while now and it seems like a lot is going to be announced Aug 1, such as the NFL ST promo, the new HDTV promo, and one site even mentioned new pricing structures. Am I right thinking that Aug 1 there's going to be a lot of new info, or is it just going to be...
