    I haven't posted in awhile but I did search to no avail before posting this... I have lost some of my music stations such as the 20 on 20 on Directv and it says searching for satellite. Is this something D* has been changing? This is happening on all of my receivers including the non HD ones...

    XM / Sirius merger packages

    I paid $70 a year for XM and I paid a lot more than that when I had sirius. I have missed Sirius ever since losing it when my truck was broken into. Hence some of you will remember me pining for the merger pretty badly. The XM radio was built into the Ridgeline though. The new packages look...

    Diplexer question

    This may be moved to the OTA forum but I figured it would get answered quicker here as not many frequent OTA board. I have 2 HD receivers both use the B Band converter so diplexers are not an option. My antenna runs fine when I run the 15 volt adapter to the diplexer sat in then the tv out to...

    They still haven't really added squat right?

    I have the HD Tivos and many have talked about upgrading for more HD channels but D* really hasn't added anything still right? So basically the upgrade over the Tivo is useless right? I really like the Tivo anyways and am not looking forward to losing it but whenever D* actually adds some HD...

    DTV DVRs + New HD Channels

    Been gone off the forums for awhile now.. I don't think any new HD has been added has it? I am still with my HD Tivos and love their functionality.

    OTA Antenna and HR10-250 OTA Tuner

    Tivo must have phone line?

    Does the Tivos and HD Tivos have to have a phone line? I can hook it up for initial setup by way of a wireless phone jack but the wireless phone jacks lock up my phone line for some reason and I can't leave them hooked up. Do I have to leave the Tivo plugged in?

    Rain Fade with no Rain?

    NFL Network has beed MAJORLY broken up with no audio like it does during an extreme rain without losing signal completely. There is no rain and I thought perhaps D* is moving satelites around which could cause it. I switch to ESPN HD and it comes in just fine... alot of other channels as well...
