I just had my install today & am up and running. Everything's GREAT! It's like Comcast wasn't actually broadcasting in HD & quite surprising how much better the PQ is! I was wondering about the ondemand downloads though. 1. How big is an average 1080p movie? 2. Is there a way to...

If I may hop in here, I had the same question. I have a new install coming this Saturday and was wondering about connecting to the internet. Since It's a new install, I'm assuming I'll get an HR24? Do I just need to plug into my network? Or do I actually need to pay the $25 internet...

Gotcha. Thanks, I'm off to place my order! :D

Awesome, sounds great. I have a few other questions if you don't mind. From the prices on ebay, buying the receivers would pay for themselves in a year or two. Is it worth it to buy a HD DVD & HD receiver off ebay to save the $5/mo lease fee? Or is there no way around the $5/mo? Or are...

The prices look good. At least for the first year. Does anyone know if you can get directv with NO movie channels? I just want the networks, discovery, scifi, history and stuff like that. Also, what would it cost? The website only seems to let you choose packages with movie...

I was hoping for worse news! :D I also noticed DirecTV has my local CW in HD. Smallville and Supernatural are the main reasons I'm still using rabbit ears. I think I may end up waiting until after the holidays though, they're coming fast. Maybe Dish will come up with a Christmas miracle...

OK, you guys are now killing me! I've had Dish for about a decade and for the first time in a long time, I'm seething with jealousy over all the new HD DirecTV has added lately. My question is, what are the DirecTV DVRs like? In particular, I have a 622 triple tuner HD DVR. I can record...

I posted without realizing this was in the DirecTV forum. You guys are getting HD CW!? Dish better not be far behind! :mad: I needs my HD Smallville!:D

OK, after 20 minutes of digging through DirecTV's site, I found out the triple LND dish has a built in switch & there are 4 cables that go straight from the dish to the receivers. I guess the question I have now is how would I hook up 3 dual-tuner recievers?

It seems DirecTV is a bit different from Dish as far as hookups, ect. Is there a FAQ somewhere that can give me a crash course on all things DirecTV? The thing I'm wondering about the most is the switches & cable runs needed. Do I need two cables from the switch to a dual tuner receiver, or...

I'm considering making the switch from Dish to DirecTV. HD is the main reason. It seems DirecTV is headed in the right direction. I'm looking for a package that has 1-HD Tivo, 2-SD tivos, and one basic reciever. I'm assuming for the HD I need the tripple LNB dish as well. I'd also like to...

I wish it were as simple as just buying the HR10-250. I'd also have to replace 2 510's and a cheapo receiver. Then I'd need to get a tripple LNB dish & install that as well as pulling more cables. I've been looking, but have not found a deal that works for me. Anyone know of someone...

One other thing I forgot is The Horror Channel. That might get me to jump ship as well depending on who gets it. Any word on DirecTV getting that one? Charlie said on the chat the other day that he's never even heard of it, so I doubt Dish will get that one.

Any word on DirecTV getting UPN and WB in HD? I see they now have NBC & will soon have FOX. The only networks I watch is FOX, WB and UPN. If DirecTV gets these two, they would have all the HD I really want. If they are getting those two, I'll dump Dish tomorrow! I've hung in with Charlie...
