The 600 is made by LG. The 100 is made by Thomson. They are similar, but not the same boxes. I do not know of anyone who has the 100 with a caller ID problem. There may be someone but I am not aware of it. There are a lot of similarities and a few differences, some are advantages and...

Well I certainly apologize for understating the percentage of failure, if that is the case. Perhaps it is slightly greater but it is hard to take a comprehensive poll of the entire population of H20 users in my spare time. My 'guesstimate' was derived from how few individuals complained about...

The native resolution for my BELO WFAA ABC MPEG4 feed to the DFW market is 1080i. The H20 receiver just passes through whatever resolution it receives in native mode and it is definitely 1080i.

It shows up on my H20 in the DFW market. I now have 3 WFAA options in the guide, WFAA 8 is the first option and is MPEG4, the SD D* feed is the second option in the guide, and 8-1 OTA is the third option in the guide. They all work great, or as well as BELO allows them to work.

Regarding the 0.001% of us who have the dreaded "caller ID" problem on the H20... I finally got a spare hour to sit on the phone with tier 2 support and the HD department to resolve the issue. I finally convinced them that it works on most H20s and if they just send me another one it will...

Good point. I agree that it is more of an inconvenience than a deal killer for the H20. The PQ and OTA tuner are still awesome. However my other 4 D* receivers work fine and on those occasional times when the phone is not close by it would be nice if the feature worked.

Simple. Since Mr. 100144618 offered no support or documentation for his wild assertion, and since it works for 99.9% of all H20 owners, his claim is somewhat dubious and lacks credibility, at best. Does anyone have any evidence at all, beyond the esteemed Mr. 100144618, that this is an...

Simple. The feature works for 99.9% of H20 owners. What else is left?

The reason I haven't done that yet is because the two times I suggested it the tech on the other end of the phone argued with me that it was my phone company, not the H20. I did not have the time or energy to ask for his supervisor and start all over again. As soon as I have hours to waste on...

Interesting. I appreciate your comments. They are a little difficult to swallow since the feature works on 99% of all the H20s and after 5 calls to tier 2 support and speaking with 10 indiviuals and 2 supervisors, and wasting 4 hours of everyone's time (so far) on the issue not a single person...

How long did you leave it unplugged? I left mine unplugged overnight, about 8 hours, with no change.

Sorry. I hope I didn't offend anyone. Thanks for asking. I just did not expect a legacy problem from the de-install. The remaining foot has the original 2 foot mast still connected. Only the dish and LNB are gone. My homeowner's association is the one I am worried about. If they say...

Yes I can certainly understand why he (they) would not want to remove the dish foot. They did not need to move the dish. The new one is mounted 12" away from the first one. There are LOTS of things in my job I do not want to do and are risky or a real pain. But to leave it to me, the...

I have the same problem. Just got my H20 Friday and caller ID does not work. It tells me to call my local telephone company and sign up. My other receivers and all my telephones work fine for caller ID however. I will call D* today and ask for a replacement H20. They also left the...
