    Screen Centering Function on HR20-700

    Tx Jimbo First off Jimbo, good to know you're a Tiger fan...we need to stick together in these hard times! Hopefully the train is rolling...re: centering, it exists on my non-DVR box (h15?) but when I got the HDDVR, it was missing...that's my ONLY real beef on the hr20-700...other than that...

    Screen Centering Function on HR20-700

    One feature I've been hoping they add is the screen centering function under the video setup screen that exists on my non-DVR box (don't remember the model #)...and no, my TV doesn't have that setting option....Also, I know that's an overscan issue but I'm not confident going into the service...

    HR20-700 is a very good DVR

    HR20-700 is pretty good I have to agree that the HR20-700 (I have 2 of them) is pretty good....it's not a Tivo, but close....I have personal experience with 4 different DVR's...Tivo was the best, HR20-700 is 95% of Tivo (and in some ways I like it better).....I had a Comcrap DVR service at my...

    HR20-700 Picture Centering--Coming back?

    Hi folks...like you, i'm patiently awaiting the D* blitz...but I have a problem...I HAD an H20 in my theater hooked to my mitz 65" and I used the centering picture feature to adjust the picture (the scores on MLD and NFL are partially cutoff)....2 weeks ago, I swapped in an HR20-700 but there's...

    MPEG 4 Stuttering?

    Dang you guys!!!! Here I am HATING D* because I can't watch the Yanks on 96 due to the 8mm effect, and now it seems like it's fixed and I CAN'T SEE IT!! Don't worry folks, I'm stuck in Colorado for another week and my wife won't be able to verify it's fixed because she couldn't tell it...

    MPEG 4 Stuttering?

    Well, I got the 5LNB and H20 installed for my 65" Mits...watching the Yanks on Ch 95...pic looks pretty good, not OTA good, but decent...I think this is the MPEG2 broadcase......switch over to channel 96 which I think is the MPEG4 broadcast...it looks "stuttery"...not smooth...also, there's...

    DirecTV and 700,000 HD Subscribers

    More like $100 million per year, not $1 million....700K subs x $11/month x 12 months = $92.4 million.

    Will you now get NFL-ST at $49 for the HD games?

    Nope...not paying...cancelled the ST and I'm not going back...besides, the games I want to watch are basically on my local fox or cbs anyway.

    ESPN2 HD and other channels

    Kapmeister, D* will add extra HD channels when they are damn good and ready...I've been suffering through this drought of channels for more than a year now...even worse, D* is downrezzing the HDTV channels....on my Mits Diamond, D* HDTV is looking worse than ever, CLEARLY dummed down...

    Get out your wallet. ST in HD now $318.00

    Folks, FYI...canned D* Sunday Ticket, my exact email was: "I just cancelled my 2005 Sunday Ticket...to charge an extra $100 on top of the $200+ for HD is outrageous. Do you realize how much $318 is to the average joe? Good luck with your idea." Their response: Thanks for asking us about...

    Get out your wallet. ST in HD now $318.00

    That's fine then....D* can keep ST....I personally think $318 is insane.

    Get out your wallet. ST in HD now $318.00

    Cya D* St D* just lost my $200+....I canned ST, lady didn't even ask why...went a minute later and sure enough, it was gone. CYA ST, won't miss ya. Most of the time the game I wanted to watch was on Fox or CBS in HD anyway. Great way to screw us HD folk.

    Get out your wallet. ST in HD now $318.00

    Screw DirecTV....I ain't going to pay it...the question is, if it's in HD on my local (i'm in NYC DMA getting all 4 networks from NYC), will I STILL get the cbs and/or fox game?
  19. ljp416jmp

    Any notice to the 1st 12 markets yet?

    D* compression

    Thanks a lot for the replies folks...i guess we'll have to wait and see...my guess it'll look better initially, since they'll have plenty o' bandwidth, then crank up the compression as they add more HD locals. Nothing beats OTA though for PQ.

    D* compression

    Folks, First off, this forum is the best. Better by far than the others out there, with the most knowledgeable people. Now, I for one am getting quite upset about the declining quality of D* "HD" broadcasts....I didn't spend $5K on an HDTV to have them squeeze out additional bogus...

    Amazing!

    I agree folks...signal drops are EXTREMELY rare...lost DirecTV for about 15 secs a little while ago but came back no prob....Ivan is outside dumping tons of rain...for all practical purposes, rain fade is NO issue.

    Breaking: DirecTV to Launch 2 HD Satellites

    Let me tell you, I watched a little tennis on bravo HD last night...man was I disappointed....I thought the HD PQ was lousy, bordering on SD...anyone else see the same thing?
