    Aniversary gifts from Directv

    Got a question for you Stonecold... I've been with DirecTV since 1998...but for the first 7 years, it was through Pegasus (DirecTV provider). DirecTV only recognizes my anniversary date from 2005. Is there any way of updating my account record to reflect my time with Pegasus? That would put...

    H21 / H23 Software Release 2/17/10 v.43A5

    POSSIBLE GOOD NEWS... I saw this posted over at DBS Talk...might be good news for those of us H23 owners that are still awaiting an update... "My H23-600 had the older upgrade of 0x434d, 18 Dec 2009, checked it this morning, and it had an upgrade of 0x43a9, 4 May 2010 @ 3:14am. Haven't found...

    Dish you have a problem

    Maybe you missed his first line, "...Ok this is the story. Let me say up front i am a Directv customer and have been for 6 years. My parents have been with dish FOR 14 years." It appears as both of them are established customers. I can't say that this happens to everyone when the speak to...

    H21 / H23 Software Release 2/17/10 v.43A5

    Just got this information from the DBS Talk forum... "Read on D* tech forum that they are having trouble with the MRV on the H23s." Guess we wait until this is remedied...

    H21 / H23 Software Release 2/17/10 v.43A5

    Would checking with DirecTV technical support buy us anything, as far as seeing if they know what's going on with the H23-600s not updating as of yet?

    directv nationals

    I'm in Dutchess County, NY, so I get them as well. Without D-TV (or cable, FIOS, etc.) I would not get any OTA (damn those mountains ;) ). Just curious...has anyone noticed a difference in PQ between the "local feeds" (Channels 2, 4, 5, and 7) and the "national feeds" (Channels 390, 392, 396...

    H21 / H23 Software Release 2/17/10 v.43A5

    Any reports from anyone on their H23-600? I'm on the East Coast (upstate NY) and still NO update. :(

    H21 / H23 Software Release 2/17/10 v.43A5

    I live in Dutchess County, NY and have an H23-600...last updated on 10/1/2009. Anyone on the East Coast/NY area get this update as of yet? Without checking in the "System" menu for a date and version...is there anyway to look at the receiver and see if an update was downloaded and installed? I...

    Tell Directv to add FOX SOCCER CHANNEL HD

    I agree with you on most of your observations...just don't call Asians "Orientals", unless you want your butt kicked! ;) Objects are "oriental"...people are "Asian". I'm not Asian myself, but figured I'd offer some free advice. :)

    DirecTV - adding new receiver

    Is that still the case, even if you have the "Protection Plan"?
  11. rkish

    Fees for leaving.

    That is...unless you have a service plan. With a service plan, you wouldn't have your contract extended with a receiver replacement and/or upgrade. Only if you modify your program package.

    DirecTV Protection Plan

    As far as I know, the Protection Plan covers at least the "leased" receivers. I had one D-10 and one H20-100 (both leased) and am keeping the plan "just in case". ;)

    Star Trek Enterprise - Back on HDNet!!!

    Sorry for the repeat thread...I just realized that this might have been posted a week ago... I must have missed that... I had followed the series when it first ran, but hope that it continues on HDNet...Spike is running it as well, but NOT in 1080i and not as nearly as great PQ as HDNet.

    Star Trek Enterprise - Back on HDNet!!!

    I was surfing past HDNet today and saw "Enterprise" listed as running at 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM today. I watched it as well as checked future showings. Looks like it'll run Monday through Saurday from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. What a pleasant surprise! I guess HDNet came to terms with Universal for...

    NFLHD Question

    I watched a Jets game a few weeks ago that ran on NFLHD and my local CW channel in New York and I think the PQ was slightly better on the CW broadcast, as the the 5.1 audio. It was pretty close in PQ though.

    CIHD Censoring Content?

    Has anyone noticed whether CIHD is editing language? I could swear that while watching "Philly" that the word "bitch" was edited out.

    SNY HD Now In Dolby Digital 5.1

    Just watched the Mets/Bucs game. Looks like they've got the 5.1 figured out. Heard the crowds from the rear speakers, announcers from the front/center, plus front right and left.

    SNY HD Now In Dolby Digital 5.1

    Understood...but they are broadcasting in 5.1, so the potential is there. For the record...I am getting front right, center, and left. Voices mostly from center speaker.

    SNY HD Now In Dolby Digital 5.1

    While watching the Mets-Padres game tonight, I noticed the blue light on my audio receiver...so it appears that SNY HD is now broadcasting in DD 5.1. Cool...this puts them on the same level as YES...I had hoped they would go that route. I'll give it a chance...but so far, I don't hear the...

    Upgrading Receivers?

    What is the story as far as price, commitment, etc. if you want to upgrade receivers (I have an H20-100) and might consider upgrading at one point to an H23? I currently have a DirecTV service plan as well. Thanks!

    Good Concert BD's?

    I've been a fan of YES for the past 40 years. "Yes Live at Montreux" has decent HD DTS sound and GREAT HD PQ. It's also a great concert during a great tour that I caught at Radio City Music Hall in NYC. If you look hard enough, you can get it for anywhere between $12.99 and $19.99. Well worth...
