I get locals in HD without a STB in north AL with the limited basic package.

Is there a way to find out when FIOS might become available in a certain Area?

Do you have space limitations? If not you could get a Panasonic or Samsung 42" 720p plasma for far less than $1000 right now. I wouldn't be surprised to see 1080p plasmas below $1000. There will probably be some 50" 720p's less than $1000 on black friday, if not now. If 37" is because of space...

Tell the HOA if they keep f**king with you about this you are going to have a 100' tower with seperate UHF/VHF antennas installed and you're still not moving your dish.

My Father-in-Law's H23 is the exact opposite. It gets the SD channel and has a 771 message on HD

I would have thought signal strength also, but most of mine range from 90-100 on all satellites. Also a reset usually corrects the problem, but thats several minutes of missed viewing, interupted recordings, etc. I didn't mean to use this thread as my personal rant, but no one should be led to...

I agree to an extent, but for all that has been improved on the HR20's, seems like the same and more problems arise with each new model.

HR20-100: missed or blank recordings, loss of all Mpeg 4 HD channels at least once or twice weekly, slow remote and guide performance. HR-21-100: continous "cannot read access card" errors, starting and ending recordings early, and painfully slow remote and guide performance.

Well, honestly, there is still plenty wrong with it. Now don't get me wrong, I've had both D* and E* and I hope I never have to return to E*, but there is plenty of room for improvement with the D* HDDVR's.

Once again the so called leader in HD still doesn't have Huntsville, AL (DMA #82) on the radar. Comcast and Dish already do. :confused:

Is this a new install? Your installation should include cable. You do need dual coax lines for the HR20.

No, weather was good. It would pixel up like it was about to lose the signal completely, then it would be fine.

Last night I noticed during Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy the picture broke up a few times. Also happened on Dancing with the Stars a few nights ago. This was on the ABC HD feed from NY. Did anyone else have this problem? Just wondering if I need to do some troubleshooting or if it is from the...

It would be nice if some improvement could be made to SD. And please...give us our Locals in HD

HR20-100 same problem here.
