Just remember if you take your dish and STB with you to Granny's house for the Holiday weekend - your service address has moved - so call in an let DirecTV know. Don't forget to move back when you get home or 1) you will be violating something 2) you will be stuck with Granny's locals.

Hit pause then hit play. It doesn't autocorrect when using pause. (at least on older versions).

DirecTV is behind on HD and will be for awhile. There was a posting a few months back showing the estimated launch dates and such for DirecTVs new birds - which will bring them up to speed.

You should be able to do this - if the H20 is really a sold unit, not a leased unit. Two year min committment. Double check the bill as several reports of owned units being activated as leased.

Apple won't do it. With my hacked TiVo I just use TiVoTool to download and convert videos for use on my iPod.

Yeah - E* announced 3 stations for Denver on Wednesday and by Friday night the fourth station was active. So this may be fixed quickly - or it may not.

You can pull the drive out, so its not a total waste. With the RID #'s DTV will not reactivate receivers with outstanding balances - just like E* has done for years.

DirecTV has been levying a 1 year committment on ALL activations for awhile. Some have had success in getting CSR to waive, esp before the 3/1/06 changes. DVR is considered advanced, so 2 year committment on that. They now have an early termination fee, in addition to possible turn in of...

You can network the HR10-250, but it requires some hacking.

You can cancel w/o penalties if you ship your receivers back - since you bought those before 3/1/2006 right?

You don't BUY a D10 - you pay a $50 upfront LEASE fee.

For SD you can put two or more receivers upstairs and modulate the ouput onto two different channels.

Purusing the Colorado laws it looks like You only owe tax on the difference between the original and residual value. But "all payments required to be paid by the lessee pursuant to the lease contact are sales taxable" - so if you have a 2 year committment would your montly programming fee be...

Only if you want to get your locals via satellite. If you go OTA then HR10 is fine. Yes they have offers. Check around for what they are. You should be able to get the four networks via the 5LNB (check DirecTVs site for exact stations). OTA is needed for anything else. No. If you can run...
