    Channels stretched?

    The south park issue was my fault. The issue is that Mad Men and Bad Girls Club are being stretched now whereas before (a few weeks back) Mad Men would have black bars on top and bottom and BGC would have them on the sides. I know it's not my TV aspect ratio (I flip through them and you can...

    Channels stretched?

    I know South Park is in HD now, yet, the channel is SD, stretched (half the logo is cut off). Same thing with AMC (Mad Men) and Oxygen (Bad Girls Club). I know its not the aspect ratio on my TV, coz I flipped through them and its coming from Directv like that. I noticed it first on Mad Men 2...

    American Idol Picture Quality

    So, Is anybody else having major picture quality issues with American Idol? No, I don't mean with the retards on the screen, I mean major pixelation and weirdness. It doesn't happen on any other channel, or even during the Idol commercials. It's really pissing me off...not that I can't...

    NFL ST, Why no preseason games?

    NFL Network shows em all...most in HD. Not LIVE, but some are... either way, i'm guessing their exclusive rights to show the pre-season games gives them a little more pull with cable operators...

    HBO HD Hard Knocks Pixelation?

    I was actually blown away by the picture quality last night on 501...which I believe is the mpeg4 version of the 70's HBO channel...which is why I went to 501 on purpose...no pixelation at all. T.O. is gunna tear it up this year.

    NFL Sunday Ticket

    man, i just had to pay for a UFC that i ordered 15 months ago...i looked back at the statements and it WAS skipped, but to see it appear 15 months later was quite a shock...my point: it'll probably catch up at some point.

    NFL Sunday Ticket

    I think the bottom line is that Directv's CSRs are retarded. I mean that in the sense that they are SLOW. Slow to learn about new promos, slow to catch on to what you're asking for, slow at everything. The retention people are authorized to give a max $99 credit to customers who aren't...

    Turn off 1080i?

    I just read that my tv automatically upconverts all signals to 720p or 1080p. So I guess I should just turn Native OFF and let the TV do the work.

    HR20/21 - 1080i or 720p?

    I've been messing with my settings too...it's my understanding that a 720p signal is superior to the 1080i signal, and that superiority is amplified with heavy motion and when displayed on a plasma tv. makes sense that ESPN and co. send a 720p signal....if its good enough for them, it's good...

    Black screen problem

    also happened to both of my HR20's...call in and get them replaced with the HR21. It, too, has some issues, but I haven't had a single problem with recording or playback since mine were switched out.
