Figured I'd mention that as of yesterday, U-Verse added on the Viacom networks in HD.

I assume when you say you're rebooting you mean the DVR and not the RG, and if that is so, are you using HDMI to connect to your TV? I had the same problem when I originally had U-Verse, the system would be all kinds of screwed up if I used HDMI, but now I have it connected via component cables...

I have U-Verse, switched to it a month ago or so. I was tired of having a satellite dish on the patio (apartment complex, previous DISH subscriber) and wanted to get rid of cables running all over the house. I'm provisioned for 2HD/2SD currently, but the 3HD/1SD service should be available...

I first tried out the service a year ago and didn't end up keeping it for too long. Now that they have 18 Mbit internet I tried it again. I also was tired of having my DISH sat on a tripod on the patio with cables running through the sliding doors (Apartment complex). The HD quality has...

I got U-Verse installed yesterday and the DVR model I got is a 250 GB one. I'm not sure if that's normal or not...

Yeah, this, and not our CW station instead? Blah.

You'll just have a DPP44 switch installed somewhere in the house - the three inputs from the dish will come into the 44 switch, and the switch has 4 outputs to run to your receivers. I used it in one of my houses to drive one dual tuner DVR and three single tuner standard receivers. (For a total...

I'm on a chat right now trying to get CI (It shows up on one of my receivers but not the other, no matter what I do) had this to say when I asked about the FOX News channels in HD: (24DrDepT) Israel E. QQO: Ok, this is the e-mail we got yesterday. (24DrDepT) Israel E. QQO: What about our...

Hurrah! Maybe people will stop complaining now. :)

Lucky you that you have an affordable cable provider. If I wanted to get Comcast with 1 DVR, 1 standalone HD receiver, the basic package (channels 2-89), all the HD channels, and basic cable internet, it would cost me $169.99 per month. So screw that.

I'm more looking forward to getting the CW than PBS, but anything more is better. DTV has the CW (KBCW) and PBS (KQED), if I remember correctly, and U-Verse here has MyTV, PBS, IND (KOFY), the CW, and another IND (KICU) all in HD. I figure since San Diego and Los Angeles both got their CW's...

The power inserter just plugs in-line with the run connected to port 1 on the DPP44 switch. You'll have a power adapter you need to plug in somewhere you have an outlet (I just had mine behind the TV that was connected to port 1 on the switch) and there is a pass-through connector for the coax...

But Comedy Central isn't in HD yet. There was a thread a while back about it where Viacom said January 2009 was the target date. So there's no way they could add a HD version of the channel 9 months ago when one didn't exist, and still doesn't yet. Just sayin'.

I wanted 61.5, and instead of calling up DISH, I just installed it myself. The dish itself was $20 on ebay, the LNB was $5. A couple tweaks aiming it, and bam, 61.5. No sweat.

I also live in Santa Rosa and can verify the locals. It's quite nice that FOX, CBS, and ABC all have the evening news in HD. Poor NBC is the only one left out. I also have the U-Verse HD service as well, which includes the same, plus the CW and MyTV in HD.
