WTF, DTV? Halloween is still 10 days away.

Had to reboot my HR20 this morning. Turned everything off and went out for a couple of hours. When I got back I had to reboot all over again. WTF?

I'd be way more impressed if it was 23 national HD channels and 4 RSNs. As far as I'm concerned RSNs are a complete, total waste of bandwidth.

There's this whole thing of being "nickel-and-dimed" to death by D*. It's just another way for them to weasel money out of people, this time by charging for HD channels which had until recently been included in the $9.99/month access fee. $5/month doesn't seem like much, but when you get an...

I'm on the Visionsat train, the PVR did it for me.

Zeroes in Phoenix today. Please, no jokes. I was talking about the TPs, not the population.

Give me the treat or else. I've got sixteen rolls of toilet paper and I know where you live.

All I hear from D* is "wait until next year". I've heard that for nearly three years now and all we've gotten recently is TNT HD (B.F.D.) and Universal HD, which they should rename the Law and Order channel. Although I do totally love Battlestar Galactica in HD, upconverted or not. There...

Yeah, you should feel special. She totally liked you. I'd love to get that deal. You might be on a roll, try buying lottery tickets or asking for a raise.

This site has all the HD and Satellite news first. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my information. I trust SatelliteGuys.US to be first and fair!

Oh my freaking God. When I started reading this thread I thought it was a joke. But the D* site does have something about it. You need to input personal information, they probably run another credit check on you to make sure you're not a deadbeat and can afford it. Imagine paying 10K a...

Sort of off-topic, but is it a fair statement to make that if you are a big sports fan D* is the service to have, but if you're not a sports fan E* is the one to have?

meldar_b beat me to it, but I believe the same thing. I had no idea FTA even existed and it opened up a whole new world of interesting possibilities. And it's Free To Air! How much free stuff do you get nowadays? Winning this dish would be the best thing ever. Who knows, I may even start...

I called D* on Friday to talk to them about all the HD offerings available on E* and not D*. The CSR told me flat out that yeah, E* was kicking their butts on the HD front and they knew it. He also gave me the standard line about how things are going to get better in 2007 when D* will provide...

I got hooked on "24" in the fourth season. There's no denying it's interesting and suspenseful. But for me, I find watching the reruns boring, maybe because I know what's going to happen. You gotta love Kiefer as Jack "DROP THE GUN!" Bauer. Also Chloe O'Brian and the cross-eyed scowling...

I wish they would get rid of the shopping channels. All crap, all day long. Complete waste of bandwidth that could be used to alleviate, oh I don't know, HD Lite maybe?

Bullsh!t. If one of the Clintons had "earmarked" a charitable contribution in the same way you Bush apologists would be crapping in your pants. Fox News would be having aneurysms every five minutes. You don't do that with charitable contributions, divert them to a family member, even if it...

I leave mine at 1080i. Works the best for me.

Clear Channel truly is a subsidiary of Satan Inc. and should be destroyed. Along with its sister plague, Microsoft. Best thing to do would be to completely ignore the Clear Channel outlets on XM and let them wither away and die.

Hey, that's an opinion that's just as valid as someone wishing there was more Christian content. I happen to agree with Hogarth 100%. And as for the "trash on the other channels" you should be glad it's there, because without it D* couldn't survive and you wouldn't have any Christian...

Jeez, please send some of that rain to Phoenix. We're in an all-time record dry spell. The last day we got any measurable rain around here was October 18, 2005! I'm not kidding. That's like 108 days without rain. Something's messed up somewhere.

??! - Since when did HD-Lite become the "industry standard"? Just because D* says so? How sad and pathetic. Somebody up there bites it, DirecTV.

For better or worse, grammar, punctuation and spelling ARE important and DO matter when it comes to how people regard you and your views. You can choose to ignore that or choose to deal with it. If some genius asks you to "proofread" their notes before they send them out they are implicitly...

Come on guys, don't you just love the summer monsoon? When those big ol' cumulo-nimbus clouds pile up above the Rim and come screaming into the valley around sunset? And what can be more fun than gathering the kids and grandma around the swamp cooler and watching a dust storm? Good times...

Maybe those 22 congressmen should be given medals for being courageous and intelligent enough to recognize that the "defense of Christmas" legislation was just a pathetic, hypocritical and egregious example of right-wing pandering to the ignorance, stupidity and religious intolerance of vast...
