I can't believe I confused Discovery HD with Universal HD. How many times did I watch the sunrise on Discovery HD?
Thanks for clearing that up, Iceberg. I will rest easy tonight.

I have an HR24 and an H25. I have never seen a banner or anything other than text in the guide for the H25 but the HR24 has pretty pictures and annoying banners. And by "pretty pictures" I mean annoying banners for movies/PPV events/random shows.
Ya, sounds like it's just a DVR thing. No DVR's here, I don't like them, I do use WMC as a DVR for OTA channels and even that has filled up a hard drive with stuff I never have time to watch. If I had a DirecTV DVR I'd wind up never watching anything I record.
See I'm the opposite. I hardly watch Live tv. I hate commercials so I have a hard time watching where I can't skip commercials.

Ya, I wish they would get rid of all the duplicates by phasing in down-converting receivers for people still using tubes. Like the SD ATSC OTA receivers that take that HD OTA signal and output it in SD for a tube.
Would love some of the HD to move to Ku, that would allow "In-Motion" for RV's to get HD.
you'd be amazed at how many folks have HDTV's and still are using SD boxes because they were free or cheap
Here in our apartment complex I know most folks use the SD boxes because "they were free" and they have HD TV's too. The other day I heard a lady say she was getting a new box. I asked "oh did you get the DVR?" She says "no i'm getting the regular box and turning in my HD box because I don't want to pay $10 a month"

Ya, all providers need to stop charging more for HD and save money by dumping SD duplicate feeds.
I'm not amazed, LOL ! I know most customers for a fact have active SD equipment
Not everyone can afford 4 HD receivers, and Directv sure as hell doesn't like giving them out for free.
I have 4 and it Cost me $260. Not everyone can afford or wants to pay that.
I'm sure the exact costs are a secret, but I doubt there's much difference between an sd and an hd receiver/dvr. If Directv had stopped making sd units years ago, there wouldn't be that many to replace to allow them to do away with mpeg2 feeds. To do that now would be more expensive than a new satellite, but not if they had been proactive years ago.
Speaking of New Sats, has anyone heard about the Next Sat D* will be sending up ?
