FCC, eh? Looking forward to what you have to share. :)

Which nine channels don't work? If they are channels in the Choice XTRA package, your problem could be like the one I had this morning. Read my earlier post: http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-hd-discussions/108656-if-you-get-channel-not-purchased-choice-xtra-channels.html Hantu

Bump

Bump. Just once (Is this worth a "Sticky"?)

Today....I would call (and make sure they add the StarzHD access to your account, too.)

Ok, I just got off the phone w/ Rita (CSR from D* with the sniffles :( ). I called her because I was missing DiscoveryHD TLC-HD, etc. Not everything, but just those in the Choice XTRA package. RESULT: If you have Choice XTRA (or have recently upgraded to it) and you are not getting...

Hopefully this is a good sign. Don't hold your breath though. You could hurt yoursef :)

480-----yes 481-----yes 498-----yes 9300----no get channel not purchesed 9301----no get channel not purchesed

I had channels last night, but I don't having either of them now. 480, 481, and 498 are good, though. I figure that if I have a problem tomorrow, I'll worry about it then. As "The Hitchhiker" said, Don't Panic!

Try to remember: This is not a test for "Picture Quality". This is a test of the overall distribution of channels. Functionality before beauty. Remember your first car? Mine got me from A to B, but man, did it look like a hunk o' s***. Cheers, Hantu

Labgate, Where did you get this receiver from? I don't like buying things on eBay, so I'm hoping you purchased it from one of the fine SatelliteGuys sponsors. Thanks, Hantu

volntitan: That's what I have, too

It's Alive! It's Alive! What a pain in the a**! I called D* and asked them if they were aware that when I upgraded to the H20 last week that I also upgraded to the new Slimline dish. They said (insert Indian accent here: "We will put a notation on your account that you have upgraded to the...

Why should I get a new converter? I have 480, 481, and 498. If I have those, the BBC should be fine, right?

I am still getting "Channel Not Purchased" (like the other night. I have reset the receiver once, but I still have squat. I have had "Recent Activity" for HD Access on my account and I even went through the menus at D* to "change" my programming. Still nothin'. Any insiders with any thoughts...

Thanks, Chip! I didn't think I was getting them before. Kinda OT, but I also believe that the DSP of the H20 is better, too. I swear that the PQ has improved on all channels since switching boxes. Hantu

Sounds nice! I may have missed out on the video test last night ("Channel Not Purchased" issues), but I have wonderful audio comin' through the speakers on 498! Hantu

The rumor was that they couldn't hook users' accounts up w/ the channels they could get. This could be my dilemma. Wild rumors and conjecture are fun aren't they? Who said there's anything wrong with a Wild A** Guess?

Still a bummer. Updated my programming choices @ DirecTV.com, reset the receiver, checked 480, 481, and 498 (with good results), and went to 9300. BANG! Squatola! I give up. This ain't worth the hassle for two test channels. Seeing the MPEG4 stuff would have been nice, but I could have...

Senz: Okie-doke. My problem is that my current package isn't being offered anymore. We'll have to see what happens if I change it to something that actually exists :) Hantu

I guess I should have updated all of my gear a couple of weeks ago. By changing my account on Friday, I'm probably in some kind of weird "Billing Cycle Limbo" at D* Who knows. Maybe I'll catch the next test. I think the "-$4.88" thing in my Recent Activity on D* is for a partial month w/...

Well, at least you can see it :) This makes me nervous about when the channels do actually go live, though. It would be a real bummer to have to hash that out over the phone when the time comes.

I wish I had known that before. Damn. The CSR was clueless, anyway. She confirmed (what I already knew) that I had all of the right stuff to get the new channels "when they become available". I understand that tonight doesn't count, but it's still kind of a bummer.

On the phone with D* right now. This oughtta be fun........

Are the channels still on (Hey, I'm in the dark, here)?
