What is an NI ?

That's up to you to buy it or not.

They aren't channels. They're sub channels - something piggybacked onto the main channel. DirecTV doesn't have unlimited satellite capacity. It you want subs, connect an antenna.

Thanks!

Do you have the sat & transponder for Ft. Smith, Arkansas HD? Or a link to a list? Thanks.

Vizio LCD displays are made by the same factory that's jointly owned by Samsung/Sony and makes their displays. But Vizio uses scaling technology from the best in the industry, Genesis/Faroudja, not some proprietary technology. That's why their picture quality is excellent. On a small 37"...

If nothing was done in the customer's receiver menu, D* probably removed/re-added all programming on the account, which will sometimes solve the problem.

Untrained support people and bad contract installers are absolutely the worst part about D*. Sadly, most big companies are this way nowadays. :(

1. Go through the complete satellite setup wizard again in the receiver's menu, making sure the correct dish is selected. 2. If that doesn't help, call and speak to tech support and tell them the West Coast HD DNS channels are authorized but can't be received. Keep trying until you get...

If the 390s don't work, try rebooting the box with the red button by the access card, or just unplug the box for a minute or so, Other fixes for no 390s: Repeating the satellite setup menu wizard. Programming removed/re-added to the account by a D* CSR.

The consistency of automatically showing/not showing the local info seems to be the biggest problem.

This is correct. -- Sam (retired, SBC/AT&T)

Yes. Yes. To get the AT&T+D* bundle, you'd need an AT&T landline, or possibly AT&T DSL w/o a phone (dry loop DSL). Probably not available in your area, though. If AT&T wireless is in your area, they might offer a D* bundle. You'd have to ask them.

Actually SBC (a.k.a. SWBell Corp.) partnered with Dish, initially. After SBC bought the remains of AT&T, they changed their name from SBC to AT&T. Good news for AT&T and DirecTV stock holders. Bad news for the already hurting Dish Network.

+1 Local on the 8s cycles through the screens too quickly.

TEXT, not silly ICONS.

Like all companies, existing customers who don't complain are considered to be satisfied customers. So, unless they threaten to leave, they don't usually get incentives to stick around. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. Call DirecTV and say the word CANCEL at the voice prompts, to connect to a...

It is only upconverted to 1080i right now. Until their studio gets upgraded, only specials will be in HD.

"Move" your service address to an address in Mena, Arkansas (in Polk County, ZIP 71953). The entire town qualifies for NY HD locals that are not on spot beams. Mena is in the Little Rock DMA and since those SD locals are on spots, you won't receive them, but you will get NY HD. Use your...

You win! :-)

Which of course, is a completely obsolete business model.

My ZIP Code is in two counties that are also two different DMAs (FtSmith/Fayetteville, AR & Springfield, MO). When you order DirecTV service in our ZIP code, D* asks you what county you're in. You just tell them the county of the DMA you want to watch.

If you bought an RF modulator: Connect the DirecTV receiver's Audio/Video (composite) OUT jacks to the modulator's IN Jacks. Run coax from the modulator to the antique TV. Plug it all in and tune the antique TV to channel 3 or channel 4.
