Does Direct wheel/deal with customers who call to cancel EI? Have had it for two years but ready to switch to mlb tv to save a few $$.

Any updates on the Duluth, MN local HD issue? Direct site still has 2012 listed but were running out of 2012 time pretty quick. If not a "move" might be my only option, I know Mpls/St. Paul locals wouls be a possibility. Do you call and provide an address and that's it?

So I have SundayTicket and Superfan right know. Do I need a 5-LNB for the HD or will my 3 LND and HD reciever work for the NFL ST games in HD? Also, if I can work out a deal is 5 LNB worth getting?

Do the HD Spotbeams cover as much ground as the regular locals do right now? I'm about 160 miles NW of Minneapolis and have no problem with reception of Minneapolis locals (3LNB) but need to know if the 5LNB will work for HD.

Canes/Devils is on in HD on Channel 95 via OLN-HD right now.

I have the HD20-600 and live 150 miles North of Minneapolis and use a "vacation home" address to receive locals from there. Can someone advise me on the HD signal strength and if I'd be able to receive locals in HD with a 5-LNB. Currently I have no problems with the 3-LNB but am looking to...

Since were on the subject, What is the average range of a spotbeam? I live about 150 miles away from the local channels I currently receive. Is that close enough for HD locals too? or am I wasting time & money going with the 5 LNB?

I'm in the process of upgrading to HDTV (haven't bought a HD TV yet) and I'm also a Direct customer. Is the sync. issue as bad as decribed or is it more hit and miss? Does it affect locals more than ESPN? Would I be better off waiting a few months or is this a problem that will be...

So if I have this correct I can go to Value Electronics and get a HD20 and then contact Direct (?) for a 5LNB. Then I should be ready to roll in my new HDTV. If I missed anything let me know.

If I use a "vacation address" with a H20 and a 5 LNB will I still be able to get locals in HD (even though I'm out of market) like I do now with a 3 LNB. Or doesn't it matter since I'm well within the signal range currently?

I have a 3 LNB dish. Will I get HD locals with this system or do I need to upgrade to the 5 LNB?

I have Direct TV and I'm in the process of upgrading to HDTV. What equipment would I need to recieve the locals in HD out of Minneapolis?

7 months ago I moved from Minneapolis to outstate Minnesota. Of course I expected my local channels to change with the move. (we have 2 receivers) After the Direct Installer left we found that one of the receivers had Minneapolis locals and the other had Duluth locals. I've had no contact...
