    Cinemax and HBO have been added

    Yes, I have been saying that for a long time. It's time to dump the standard duplicates and just go HD. Any one with non HD TV's can let the box down convert for them. Besides I can't remember the last time I was in an electronic store and even saw a non HD TV for sale. All Uverse boxes are HD...

    NBC Sound Drop-outs

    I get sound dropouts from our local NBC station all the time. Sometimes it is so bad that I just give up and watch something else on a different channel. My local NBC station is WTMJ in Milwaukee, WI. I have been with Directv for almost 2 years now. My commitment is up with Directv April 4 this...

    PROTECTION PLAN

    I agree with JerseyMatt. In the area that I live in with the weather that we have and the the trees that are around me it is a good feeling to know that if something happens that I am covered. I have used it in the past and saved more than I have spent on the coverage.

    Sound Dropouts?

    I did a reboot on my receivers and haven't noticed a sound dropout for a few days now. It might be that the last software update that I got really did fix the problem. I will watch for a few more days and let you know if they have really gone away.

    Sound Dropouts?

    My H21 received a software update on Nov. 16. Now when the sound drops out, the picture freezes too. Seems to me the problem is getting worse instead of better.

    Dolby Digital dropouts/static?

    Yes I did make a mistake. I did read some of the thread but not all of it because I didn't have the time. I had work to do. I thought it was about something that it wasn't about and thought that the link might help. There was no condescending remark in the post. Just a link to a thread that...

    Dolby Digital dropouts/static?

    I really don't care if you hate it or not. I made a mistake. Things happen. If it isn't what you wanted to know then just ignore it. Don't make a big deal out of nothing. Do you think that you are perfect and never make a mistake?

    Dolby Digital dropouts/static?

    This question has a thread of its own. This is the linkhttp://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-forum/222328-sound-dropouts.html. Many people are having this problem.

    Sound Dropouts?

    I have Pioneer Receivers and I get drop outs too. It doesn't matter what brand receiver you have it will happen if you use optical or coax cable for 5.1 digital sound. This is Directv's problem not yours. They either can't fix the problem or don't care too because it would cost to much. When my...

    Digital Audio from H21

    Directv has problems with sound drop outs when using Dolby Digital. They know about it but don't seem to be in any hurry to fix it. When my commitment to them runs out if the sound problem still exists I am going to drop them like a bad habit. I can't see paying the kind of money that they want...

    Sound Dropouts?

    Drop outs still not fixed After complaining to Directv about the sound drop out problem I was called back by a tech. who said that they know about the problem. He asked how my Directv receiver was connected and what type of surround sound equipment I used. He asked if they could call back to...

    Sound Dropouts?

    Called about sound dropouts I called about the sound dropout problem a couple of days ago and the person I talked to said "Gee I thought that we fixed that". I told him that wasn't the case. He told me that there was nothing he could do except note the problem and send it to their engineers. He...

    h23 audio dropouts

    I have the same problems on both of my HD receivers. One is a HD DVR and the other just a HD receiver. It has been going on for quite a while now and is very annoying. My standard def. receiver suffers no sound problems at all. Directv must know about it. I don't know why they don't fix it. I...

    Sound dropouts

    I have 2 HD receivers (1 HD DVR and 1 reg. HD receiver). I also have a standard def. receiver. The standard receiver works perfectly with no problems, but the two HD receivers suffer sound drop outs. I am sure that I am not losing the signal because the picture never breaks up or is lost. Only...

    Direct TV 1080p Test Signal

    How does Directv's 1080p compare in quality to a Blu-ray movie? I don't have a Blu-ray player and I am a little curious.

    HR23 Active button problem

    When I use the Active button on my HR23 and pick a channel that I want to watch, it always defaults to the SD version of the channel instead of the HD version. In my setup prefs. I have the receover set to filter out SD channels if a HD version is available. I can't figgure out why this happens...

    NEW CHANNELS JUST WENT LIVE

    BETJ HD? What a joke While I like as many HD channels as possible, BETJ HD has to be some kind of joke. There seems to be nothing on it that is HD, or even interesting to watch. I would much rather Dish supplied everyone with the HD locals that they may still be missing instead of giving us...

    Fox News HD Up and Running

    Can't get Fox News Hd or Fox Business HD I just spent 1/2 hour on the phone with tec. support trying to get the Fox HD channels to work with no success. I was told that someone from Dish is going to call me back in an hour to see if they can't fix it. I was told that many other people are...

    Windows 7: A rebadged, much better Vista?

    I tried Windows 7 I downloaded Windows 7 beta from Microsoft and installed it on my HP. I know it is a beta and will have a few bugs but what I didn't expect was this. 1) I had to download and install beta display drivers from nvidia. The ones that work with Vista will not work with Windows 7...

    Problems with Milwaukee HD locals

    I do have OTA that I can get Milwaukee and Green Bay with. Because I live so close to Lake Michigan I sometimes have problems with temperature inversions mixing up analog and digital signals. When that happens the OTA signal cuts out. I was counting on a more reliable signal from Dish.

    Problems with Milwaukee HD locals

    I live in Sheboygan, Wi. and get my HD locals from Milwaukee. "E" supplies us with ABC,NBC and FOX. We do not get CBS which is a disappointment for me because at least half of the network shows that I watch are on CBS. The problem that I am having with the locals is that they will start to...

    HD Local Additions

    I live in Sheboygan too, and find the HD locals from "E" don't always work right for me either. I am begging to think that this is a very poor provider. I have to have 2 dishes just to get the local HD channels that don't always work. "D" gets everything with just one dish. A friend of mine that...

    A question about 1080p PPV vs 1080i PPV

    I understand the difference between 1080i and 1080p. But does the 1080p PPV really look as good as a Blue-ray disk? Could the 1080i PPV look just as good as the 1080p PPV most of the time or is there really a big difference in the quality of the two?

    What happens to local SD stations on E in Feb.?

    I guess that I didn't ask the question right. Our CBS station will not let "E" carry the digital version of their station. Only the analog ("E" converts it to digital the same as they do all analog stations). So the question is that when there is no analog version of CBS being sent to "E" from...
