    DIRECTV channel charts for each satellite

    Help! I have lost my list of what channels are on each of the transponders on all of the five satellites. Also, does anyone know the locations of the new HD signals for Showtime and Starz?

    More commercials than ever inserted during games

    Is it just me or have others noticed an increase in commercials inserted during the games just like on many of the cable networks? They pop up in the middle of an inning irritating the heck out of me. Let's see, my taxes will be going up, the price of the EI package has gone up, health care...

    NBA on TV

    Forgive me if this has been discussed elsewhere, but there used to be someone who posted the TV NBA games like there is for MLB on TV and NHL on TV (I subscribe to both). If it is still being done for the NBA, where do I subscribe? Thanks in advance.

    Why can't I watch the Indians in HD?

    I am in Indiana and I cannot watch the Cleveland Indians on channel 662 in HD. The D* message says that the program is not available in my area (727). I can watch the Tigers side of the game in HD, which is in reality only in SD. I know better that to cal the CSRs since they normally don't...

    Minimum signal for HD on a new receiver

    One of these other threads stated that a new HD receiver needs a 95 or higher signal to activate it for locals. I find that hard to believe. I've got trees that bring my SD receivers down to the upper 70s to the lower 80s on many of my local channels now that the trees have blossomed. Am I...

    Size of a slimline dish

    When I signed up for Directv in May, 1995, an 18" round dish was installed. I was getting a little too much rain fade so I had it changed out for a 24" dish. Things improved. Now thirteen years later I am thinking of upgrading to a slimline dish and HD service. Will the slimline dish pick up...

    Duplication of locals

    I have been just looking at some of the listings of what is on the different satellites and I have noticed a lot of duplication of the locals. One example I picked out (because I am originally from there) is Chicago. The Chicago locals are on both 129 and 61.5. I cannot find the HD feed of...

    Will I lose one set of distant nets if I go HD?

    Currently I am grandfathered in (for many years) with D* and get the Chicago locals and all four of the east and west nets from NYC and LA. If I upgrade to HD and get the Chicago locals, will I lose either or both of the east and west nets? Several years ago when I was thinking about HD D*...

    How much HD content do you get before and after MLB games on DIRECTV?

    Since I have HD with DISH and not with DIRECTV (too many cables needed for six receivers), I was wondering how much HD content do you who have DIRECTV's sports packages with the RSNs get. With DISH, I can watch the Cubs, White Sox and Reds games in HD, but only the games themselves. I get no...

    Twins - White Sox game tonight, what side is MLB.com showing?

    Since I fall under the stupid territories of the Cubs and White even though I am over 170 miles away, I am not allowed to watch the Cubs or White Sox on MLB.com. If the White Sox were televising on WGN or Comcast SportsNet, I could watch the game, but NNooo - they are on WCIU (channel 26) in...
