In that case I think I'll just give it to Salvation Army!!! Thanks

I don't like losing "On the Rocks". Sigh.....

I am getting ready for a move and came across my old Ultimate TV receiver. I don't want to just toss it. Is it worth anything? If I put it on Craig's list or EBay what should I expect to get for it?

If it weren't for the fact that I'm a news junkie I could get everything I want from my computer and watch it via internet, piped to my TV. Sure all of the normal shows would be a day late, but so what? I can get all my baseball that way, and most of my NCAA football. There is going to be a...

Yes, and over on The Green Button. I'm trying not to get excited about this, but if I could get rid of a boat load of boxes and run wire instead I would become an instant hero in my house!!!!! :D

I understand that there is some news of a new box for we users of Media Center PCs. If so it's going to be a really big deal for us.

How many of you have had your significant other say that to you when you wanted to either upgrade your programming or your equipment? Mine just can't get past the fact that HD won't work on all of our sets and ISN'T going to work on all the sets. I'm getting around this because she wants...

Not that I really have a lot against any of this, but it might be better. If people had to seek out their vices a little harder it might be a little easier to control the real thugs of society. Just my pov.

When I can see Formula One in HD I will know Speed has arrived!

I love my LG. After ten minutes of no change in the picture the TV CUTS OFF!!! I never have to worry about the other half walking out of the room to do something and forgetting that the plasma was paused. Of course she thought it was broken the first time!!! Of course the HR20 has a screen...

One huge improvement of the HR20 is that I no longer have to go get a Coke while waiting on my list of recorded programs to come up. I've still got an SD Tivo and while I love all the functions, you best not be in a hurry for something on that hard drive.

I, for one, will not be handing out the extra five bucks. What bothers me is that D* might decide to just add one or two other good channels to that pack so that it becomes an almost have to have. For instance if they added Food Network HD or SciFi HD to that pack I would be in the position of...

I disagree. I think that this is the end for CNBC and MSNBC as well. The are already nitch channels and now they are going to be as irrelevent as the Game Show Network. FBC is going to be the big guy on the block because they have Fox News to advertise for them. Without even knowing the line up...

Ignore my last post, I just found out that you can't get an HD signal to a media center PC yet. That went back to my original post of just wanting to be able to wire everything together.

Why not just use an HD ready graphics card with a tuner? A lot less money. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the reply. No, it's not to record from the HR20. I just want to be able to have it hooked up in the setup. My "real" media center PC is going to be in my library about 50 feet away. I wanted to wirelessly send movie files and the like to the hard drive of the other PC. BUT, the old...

I know that this is somewhat OT so I'll make it brief. I'm getting a new PC and I want to turn my old one into a WiFi media center PC. Does anyone know of any good sites, as good as this one :D that can give me the skinny on what to do and what I need so that I can integrate it with my sat...

Well, if I do the D* installer did it. I've not had HD since the launch as I've been having new floors put in the house. I'll know about my system tonight though!!! Along with several others here, D* paid to put my OTA antenna on the house and run the cables. They might be making a return...

Not to be too much of a dummy here....but I've not been on in a few days. Is this thread saying that since we got the new HDs that our OTA won't work?

You believe your bank tellers and they make less than that!!!

Then don't let your CSRs say the 19th and then just pretend that they didn't say it. Kinda like the non-existent problem of HD in the press conference.

I don't think anyone has a clue, but I've sure let the local newspaper and radio channels have an earfull over this. Maybe when the stories of D*'s failures start making the news they will get off their rears.

I knew something else was wrong last night when I lost all my DVR functions and got a message to activate the service. Now, I've had DVRs of one form or another almost since they came out, but yesterday I lost them. I called D* and they just said, "Oh, we are having some problems"...

Having been with D* since '94 I've seen it all with CSRs, but I will have to say that through the years they have gotten worse, most noticeably in the past year or so. Several months ago I got called the next thing to a liar by a first line rep. I didn't get upset till that happened. Then I got...

Well, for what it is worth they have my bill screwed up ten ways from Sunday. Looks like a long call to D* is in my future.:(
