Directv told me tonight, Thursday, that Davenport,Rock Island and Moline will launch on Wednesday October 22.

Okay that makes sense but to my eye the HD DVD player has a better picture. Maybe all considered I shouldn't set the standard that high for DirecTV. It's still a great picture and I was very happy to watch it happen at 5am this morning. Nice job DirecTV and I wait for the next update to the HD...

I was comparing a 1920x1080i mpeg2 source with a 1080i? mpeg4 source of DirecTVs. The Mpeg4 is not as clear. or is there a fault with what I've done? milt

To me the new HD channels look harsh and like there is a film over them compared to the HD DVD player. The player looks smoother and sharper than DirecTVs HD mpeg4 channels. But don't get me wrong as I'm happy with the new HD channels and they are very watchable. I'm watching on a 65 inch...

Thanks Scott for answering my questions and I'll watch and hope next Tuesday or Wednesday my TVs will light up with HD. One last question of anyone do you think it would be wise to call DTV and schedule a tech to go over my system? Or should I wait till the HD channels are live??

I did think of one thing that might matter and that is the weekend and DTV people like there weekend as much as most of the nation so if they would switch HD on it would be next week somewere around Monday or Tuesday.

Thanks for the smilly face, but somewere I have missed something, what is the hangup and why don't they switch on the HD and lets cust just bask in the wonderful glow?

I think it will take more than one cust. to say the dish needs to be repositioned to cause a delay. If that is what is causing the problem x 10000000 cust. maybe.

Do you think this hold up is bad BBC? If that is the case maybe I should schedule a tech to look over my system. I have been draging my feet till the dust settles in outer space. I can't help but feel signal srength is part of the problem.

I would like to thank DirecTV for taking us to the loop by watching D10s launch and even leaking the HD Expansion papers. But the well of information has dried up and DTV is now talking generalitys. I noticed at first as we came close to the 19th that as I would check signal strength I had two...

I was up early but of course no HD. I've had low readings on 103b on some of the TPS and think they are having a problem getting full coverage on some TPS. At this point as some of the TPS are in the 90s I think it is D10s problem but I'll just wait it out and see how it all plays out before I...

Thanks Charper1 as I can now go to bed and sleep as that is laid to rest. milt

I have been with DTV since 1995 and I noticed an upgrade in SD picture quality going from the HR10-250 to the HR20-100. I've never had Dish and I appreciate your comment. Do you have the hR20 set for 1080i output and not 480i? Are you using the HDMI connection? Are you streching the SD picture...

I have a question about D10. It shows now at 96 degrees and on my HR20 it shows six transponders at 99 degrees. I get a strong signal on three of the six that are supposed to be there. Will D10 wind up, hopefully at 99 degree? What am I seeing at 99 degrees? Now? Thanks; milt

I bought two HR20-100 for 99 each and a total of 211 with tax for two receivers. I didn't push it as DirecTV had a cost and I thought it fair to pay a 100 each. Maybe I could have done better at the retention desk but I'm happy with the deal I got. The only problem is were or what can I do with...

Software problem I can live with untill DTV corrects. Yes I have two BBC on each HR20-100, one on each port. Thanks for the help and I'll just push the problem to the back burner for now.

Here is what happens. When I change to ch 499 I get a gray scree for a few seconds and then up comes a page that say: Important HD Information (with a Directv Logo in the right hand corner) (next line) Your B-Band Converter is NOT connected (next lines)To continue receiving your current HD...

It is the HR20-100S model and I'm not sure of the number of the software. How do you find that out? Thanks for the info on a software update tonight. Maybe I should wait and check tomorrow. I do not get a searching for sat msg but get the BBC NOT connected msg. Who ever I talked to at DTV said...

No Idea??? I paid $211 with tax for the two HR20s and to get the lastest software you push the red reset button and with the remote key in 02468 and that will load the latest software. Now back to the problem, could it be that the satelitte is not in position??

I'm new to the forum and need some help with a HR20 problem. I had two HR20s, installed by two DirecTV installers, one upstairs and one downstairs. Both had the B Band converters and both when I went to channel 499 said B Band converter NOT installed. I called DirecTV and they sent out the...
