    D12 satellite - now we're receiving signals!

    The whole ruse by vader and overexaggerated reactions over there was just to compensate for the boredom on another month's extension. It was fun while it lasted. Don

    Here come the price increases

    It will be interesting to see if the price increase is a setup for additional MRV fees 2nd quarter when MRV is released nationally. The price increase seems significant enough that MRV should be included within the price increase, but I doubt it. Don

    What we are hearing...

    The Atlantis mission to Hubble in October will be the first shuttle to be outfitted with an HD camera as announced by lead flight director Tony Ceccacci in his press briefing. The station has a single HD camera which has been used intermittently. There will be a Nasa HD feed available during...

    What HD Channel do you want added the most?

    One vote for NASA channel, definitely. I predict NASA will go HD September 30, 2010 (wait, that is the official retirement date of the STS !). -Don

    Directv lowered the price on the HD DVR

    That $100 price drop in the ad was the old price drop at the start of the year from $299 to $199. Don

    Mountain West Confrence Network Question

    All I can say is that after watching the MWSN commercials berating Dish & Directv for the last year, is that Mountain West, you better not clown around with standard definition broadcasts. Don

    So now dates for the next set of HD stations?

    I'm only sniffling a little now. Need Cartoon Network HD. We will have it within the next few weeks. I'm amazed the database guys fixed their problem in less than a week. I guess that repair ticket got moved to the front of the list. I honor the master crow eater Questioner. So, does...

    What we are hearing...

    My hat's off to Scott. We were told exactly like it is. That is the type of information I am looking for. Hopefully the D* side of this site will continue to grow and become as popular as the E* side. Don

    HD info on Channel 570

    If you click on showings, the announcement appears to be delayed until Monday. It has been a bad week for D* starting with the bust of an Emmy party that they had. Don

    Are You Ready For HD?

    Yes! Last night I soldered the previously nationally backordered 82 pf cap into my F38310 (after replacing 3 high voltage diodes about 3 weeks ago). Turned it on, no smoke, great stable picture. My deflection power supply is fixed (at least for now). HR 20 feeds the F38310. Waiting for...

    Are you Ready for Directv's new HD Channels in September?

    I got my 5 LNB and HR20 in June for the F38310 and moved the HR10-250 downstairs to take care of the Panny 900. But my F38310 went up in smoke last week. NNNNOoooooo! After all this time waiting for D*. Since college tuition bills are due next week for the 2 youngest ones, I'm resorting to...

    Directv10 Satellite Launch Broadcast

    The weather means nothing. Successful launch to geosync & excellent D10 operation means everything. Lucky & Questioner are just grasping at straws. In my opinion, the big risk items now are 1) the launch itself (achieving geosync) 2) successful spacecraft separation & control, and 3)...

    HR10-250 locking up after new software

    The HR10-250 I have locks up daily when switching between OTA channels. Sometimes it re-boots itself, but most times I have to cycle power on the Tivo. I have no ideas except it started happening at the time the new software was activated. I do not wish to upgrade to the HR20 any time soon...

    HR10-250 - ATSC tuner help

    I am now averaging one or two lockups per night when changing channels with the ATSC tuner (one ATSC channel to another). It never happened with the previous software. Not a happy camper right now. Don

    HD channels

    That is probably the most accurate statement I've seen in years. However, it still may be a tad optimistic, it is the D* we all know. If it is not satellite delays it is HD programming that is too expensive to produce. My prediction is that 10 & 11 will get up by the end of 2007, but high...

    Is Anyone Worried We Might Not Get 150 HD Channels

    Sounds like a T*B* set of channels to me. Wait, I think it was Chase Carey that first said that about Voom. I apologize. Don

    Directv Local Channels always free?

    Oh, I see. I didn't know they did that. They still have packages with no locals, so I guess I was misled by the advertisement... for my particular case. Typical marketing speel. Don

    Directv Local Channels always free?

    I am looking at the June 30, 2006 sports section of USA Today. At the bottom of the front page of the sports section is a Directv advertisement. " All your local channels included. Celebrate this July 4th knowing that DIRECTV never changes extra for local channels," This is news to me...

    DirecTivo HR10-250 Blowout!

    I just called retention to try to get the HR-10 250 with Sunday Tciket. They told me that they know of no such offer. My heart level must be down to 0.2324 in that I just cancelled Sunday Ticket last week after having it for eleven years, including Superfan last year. I cancelled last week...
