The online chat also worked for me. Had the new channels up in less than 10 minutes

Thanks for the reply. Guess I will continue to wish. You guys beating that horse--remember where Vick is now? Peta is always watching. bigdaddyflo

This morning I woke up to see a new channel-75-0 HI-DEf which gave the description that local hidef is now available in your area. When I go to the channel, it gives the blackout message like a sporting event. Does this mean I will soon get Roanoke, Va. HIDEF locals or is this a generic...

I know you have the skinny for Dish and new HD before the end of the year--Give me something so I can really look forward to New Year. Thanks Bigdaddyflo

Thanks A

I have the 622 hooked to a hdtv downstairs and a sdtv upstairs. If I had a HDTV upstairs, would I see hd signal if the receiver was in single mode instead of dual? Thanks Bigdaddyflo

I just upgraded to the 622 in June. My dish it up rebate has not been posted yet--Will the 100 dollar rebate kick in for me? Thanks for the info

Any news if superstations like wgn, tbs, wpix, ktla etc. being in HD? I know they are in their respected cities so looks like it should be available to a superstation subscriber. Would like to catch the baseball games in hd. Thanks Bigdaddyflo

Problems continue The signal strength is the same as always. Locals missing reappeared this morning, but no info available in the guide. Not there when I got home from work. Reset the card this afternoon and all channels appeared. Checked again three hours later--gone again. Do you think...

Help I was missing some of my locals this weekend (Roanoke, VA) only on my OLD model 4000 receiver. Unplugged-Replugged and got ABC, CBS, NBC. Still needed CW, Fox and PBS. Called tech support--they thought that was weird. Tested switch(fine) and reset card. Had those channels for a few...

I have joined the list My HDMI died this week and I got the standard "its a software problem we are working on." Advised me to use component cables, but one reason I upgraded was for the HDMI. If I was not in a contract, I would be calling Direct. :mad:

Can an old Direct TV dish be used as an OTA antenna for HD? My uncle got one from a rental house and gave it to me. How about an antenna to transmit internet signals from a router? Later Bigdaddyflo

Tonight while watching some channels OTA, The picture would rain out or the signal would not lock. The channels are fine in good weather. I shook the antenna and the pic would stay. Surrounding trees would move by the wind and the picture would be effected. Am I crazy or does trees moving...

Thanks for the input. When I ran the antenna through the 811, stations would not pick up. When I ran it through the TV tuner (Toshiba DLP 52") all of the stations in my area came in. Later Bigdaddyflo

I reallly like this group!! Question--I have a HDTV that has integrated OTA antenna. Will I get any better/worse picture if I go through the 811 input? If I do that, I lose some neat functions of the TV like favorites and PIP. Thanks Bigdaddyflo in :cool: the house!!
