DirecTV, TiVo to offer new HD DVR to customers For those who don't like the D* HD DVRs, there is hope. DirecTV, TiVo to offer new HD DVR to customers - AP - National Business News - Portfolio.com It's expected to be available in about a year. Dana

There's a couple of them here http://search.solidsignal.com/?i=1&i1.x=&i1.y=&q=Ka+Ku+monopole&site=com&u1=q Dana

Is this the time that local public television HD channels get picked up by D* as per the national agreement signed late last year? Dana

Eric Wilbur, Boston Globe staffer, has posted an explanation of sorts here No Sox, no service - Eric Wilbur's Sports Blog - Boston.com Dana

I tuned in the Red Sox on NESN HD (D* channel 623HD) about the 7th inning. It looked great from Japan in HD! Maybe the problem reported by BIG ED was local? Or cleared up before I started watching? Strange that NESN couldn't produce any Spring Training games from the Sunshine State in HD but...

If the rep did what she said she would do "... she ... said that she would note that on my account then hung up on me ..." then her name, employee number, etc., is on the account contact log. ;) Before I finally retired, I worked for a major mail order retailer as a telephone customer service...

Saying "Cancel service" at the automated voice prompt is simply a way to access the Customer Retention staff. Note that scottie_h said "You don't have to actually threaten to cancel. I would simply say you want to check into upgrading ... to an HD-DVR." The Customer Retention staff are more...

No ethernet port on the H20. There is one on the H21 but it is inactive. Dana

NESN has posted its complete pre-season and regular season TV broadcast schedule. NESN will televise the Red Sox v. Yankees at Tampa, 1 PM Sunday Mar. 17. Dana * Note. Apparently, NESN goofed on the day of the week. March 17, 2008 is a Monday. At least the Yankees know what day of the week...

That's correct. The H20 has to have an Access Card in the slot and an active account with D* in order to function. Some older D* HD receivers with the manufacturer's name on them such as Samsung do operate as OTA receivers w/o active accounts. But not the H20s. Dana

The garage option sounds promising as long as the #6awg bare ground wire isn't in contact with anything flammable along its route. Is there gasoline in the garage? Here's the scenario you're trying to avoid. There's a lighting strike on your pole mounted dish. The lighting will follow the...

If you have a 1080p LCD, then everything you see on it is 1080p. The input from your HD box may be 1080i but your TV converts that to 1080p because that's the only resolution it can display. Dana

I acquired my H20 before March 1, 2006 but when I left D* in May 2006, (Big mistake. I am now back for good.) I had to return it to D* because I had accepted a D* $100. rebate on the purchase. I had no complaint; it just shows that even if someone acquired a H20 before the magic date, there may...

I couldn't agree more. I bought a few Region 2 PAL DVDs offered on eBay from what I thought were reputable outfits in this country a year or so ago. I used my credit card through PayPal. Small dollar amounts. No porn. Just titles not available on Region 1 DVDs. Then I discovered many...

Do NOT create a separate ground from that at the electrical entrance. Read the material here Grounding Satellite Dish and Lead-In Cables. Ideally, the system should be grounded by a licensed electrician.

They should be disposed of in the same way as TVs and other electronics. There's likely lead content in the old receivers. There are now approved recycling centers in most states. And Staples is now a national recycle center for electronics. Staples.com | About Staples - Media Information News...

Then you know that this subject is not to be taken lightly. More info here Grounding Satellite Dish and Lead-In Cables The National Electric Code has been further updated on this subject since the 2003 copyright date on the linked page. Dana

You don't want to drive a rod into the ground separate from the ground for the electrical entrance. You want to tie the dish and coax with a ground block to the main entrance ground. Check with a licensed electrician. There's good advice on this subject on D* own forums. Dana

In the last three months, I have had two D11-500 standard def receivers, and one H20-100, one H20-600 (refurb) and two H21-200 HD receivers cross my threshold. They all came with RC64 IR remotes. I didn't keep them all of course but that's another story. Dana

The old 3 LNB dish measures 18"x20" = 360 sq. in. ±. The new 5 LNB dish measures 22.5"x32.5" = 731 sq. in. ±. Wind loading may exponential. In any event, the new dish is twice as big as the old one. The roof is the last place I'd mount it. Dana

My four port ground block is exposed to the elements and low enough that snow will build up around it. I was concerned at first but upon close examination, I noticed that the connectors are covered by rubber boots. The correct term may be "connector weather seal sleeves." Connector Weather Seal...
