Yes i've done that before. But since the DVR automatically buffers whatever channel it's currently on, what you're suggesting means that EVERY single time you want to switch channels, you will need to confirm 'OK' before switching channels!!!!! NO THANKS! I do like the idea to 'automatically...

AMC theater in Kent, WA, has a matinee (before noon) price of $6.00 for first run movies. There is also a 'cheap' theater here that has $2 movies. Right now, they have the Adjustment Bureau, Battle LA, Arthur, etc. My Daughter goes there with her friends and they'll watch two movies...

Whenever I watch the Oscars and they have the best short film category and they show a clip, I say to myself, that looks like a cool movie. But I've never seen any of those films simply because I don't know where to find them. Well, now I will. I think this will be a great addition.

Works great for me and I installed it on two computers. I have a dual core proc, 2 gigs memory and Radeon x800 video card in one computer. At first I couldn't get any video, so I downloaded the latest ATI driver and it works flawlessly now. Smooth video even on HD. I am very satisfied with...

I live in Seattle and you know how much it rains here. I've had my AT9 dish for about 2 years now and I can only remember having rain fade once or twice in those two years. Prior to my AT9 I used to have rain fade every time we had a big storm, so it must have been the alignment.

Yes! I get audio dropouts as well. Only on Cartoon Network. I only watch the Family Guy on CN and it always has audio dropouts. About every 5 minutes for me. Annoying as heck, I hope they fix it.

Your polll is confusing. You title is "Is the HR20 that bad?" but the poll question is "Do you like the HR20" Initially, when I saw your poll results, I thought most people didn't like their HR20. You should change the title of your post. Anyway, I answered 'Yes' I've only had a couple...

It sucks that your local installers treated you that way. Sounds to me though, that D * tried to make ammends by giving you 10 bucks off a month for a year. Rather than cancelling D* why not just ask for more credits? Because what happened to you with D* can happen to you with E* or cable or...

Here's my opinion. Okay, so you ran into some annoying problems. It's not like the problems will drag on for a year. You'll be watching high def by next week and all of this will be a distant memory. If you've enjoyed D* service and pricing for seven years now, why get upset over a...

I have the 659. Everything works fine, except the TV button would also turn off the power button of the HR20. I had to tweak it so that the power button of the HR20 always remains on.

What is the power button for? Even when you turn off the HR20, the fan/hard drive is still spinning and noisy as ever. The manual says the DVR will continue to record programs even with the power off. So what is the purpose, other than giving you a blank screen on your tv? So as a...

I was researching the same question. Do a look up on Dock-N-Talk. This looks like a good solution.

OK, some people need to read more carefully. "By June of this year, DIRECTV will have activated local HD programming in 16 more previously announced markets for a total of 36 markets," 20 already lit 16 in june 14 newly announced. total=50 by year's end! :up Mines coming in...

Hey guys, thanks for the info. I decided to go with the 659, just because I got it for cheap. I went to a Circuit City outlet store. They had it for $149. I asked the sales person why are they selling the remote for retail in an outlet store?!!! He asked me if I could get it anywhere else...

I'm thinking of getting the Harmony 880 remote. Does anyone know if the Harmony (or any of those expensive universal remotes) can handle EVERY function of a Tivo or HD TV remote. For example, the 30 second skip button on Tivo. Also, my old SD Directv receiver has a 'Who' button to easily...

Cool. That's not so bad then. Maybe in a year or so the price of an HD DVR will drop to 200 and that won't be bad at all. :)

Sorry for the newbie question, but what exactly is a mirror fee? From what I can gather, a mirror fee is simply a fee for a second dvr? All this talk about lease fee just being another name for mirror fee is getting me confused. According to Directv's website, the lease fee for a dvr...

The only problem I see with a la carte is, what if you like a channel that isn't very popular? For example, I only watch OLN for the Survivor reruns. What if OLN isn't very popular and is discontinued. I would be very unhappy.

all of the above... well except I don't know what WAF means. :) I remodeled my house recently and have a brand new roof. So yeah, I'm a little worried about getting a leak with a roof mount. Also, That part of the house is below grade and I also have a fence, so right now the dish is...

Thanks for all the replies. Yes, the dish is slightly pointed towards the wall. I'll get a protractor and check my line of sight. I too, am more worried about elevation than the wall because there are some homes and trees directly facing the dish and I live in the north (just outside of...

here's my dish attached is a picture of my dish

Hi guys, first time posting here, so excuse my ignorance. I have been a D* sub for many years and have an old dual lnb dish. My dish is mounted on a specially made block on the side of my house, with a part of a wall blocking the elements (wind, rain, etc.). It is only about 7 feet off the...
