So I am all outta luck as far as getting local hd?

Hey all! I spoke with Directv a while back and they said I would not need the new 5lnb dish to receive local HD channels so I thought about it for a while then finally had it installed today and I cant seem to get local channels in HD. One of the main reasons I went with D* is to get local HD...

Oh ok I will check them out.. a couple other questions i have.. whats the best way to tie it down or whatever so the wind doesn't blow it over? and they orginaly sent out the 5lnb dish but they said they couldnt mount it to a tripod is this correct? Thanks

I am having Directv installed on Monday and I was told I need to buy a tripod since I live in an apartment. So my question is where can I buy one locally? I just north of L.A.? They installation company will sell me one for $60 but they told me it would be cheaper if I were to buy it myself...

Hey Thanks guys.. I called them about 3 weeks ago and they said it was a 2 yr. contract did they change it to 1 yr.? I was hoping to get the instant rebate for the HD receiver. I'm just looking to get the best deal with the least amount of out of pocket cost!

Quick question.. if i sign up for new service with DirecTV and then have to cancel for some reason before the 2 year contract is up do i have to pay the early termination fee or can i just return the equipment and call it even? thanks

I thought i did i have done all the initial setup and everything but it still looks like a crisp clean picture. i was thinkin that maybe it is just the tv but when i put in a dvd it looks so much better.. i know that a dvd is higher quality but it is really noticeable

ok i just called them and they have no record of me at all in their system after i explained to them all the SBC crap. but i decided not to do the DVR system and just do the H20 receiver. The gentleman also said that the promotions are better for new customers than current ones anyways which...

anybody?

Ok, thanks!

I have Directv service through SBC (its the only one i can use due to living is this apartment complex) It is a Sony Receiver model: SAT-B55 there is a satellite on top of our building I can only see part of it but it looks bigger than the usual Directv dishes. Hope this gives you better info...

Hey i posted another topic about switching to my own sattelite versus the one that controls my entire apartment building and i just looked and noticed that my signal strength is 73.. shouldnt it be like high 80's or low 90's? I noticed that my picture quality was not as clear as it should be...

Yeah SBC currently uses Dish for their services but they used to use Directv. It just sucks because you call SBC to try and upgrade services and they tell you to call Directv and you call Directv and they say you have to call SBC. I would much rather have Directv than dish because of the...

no, i am not currenty a sub. of d* but, I do have service through SBC which used directv for the television service.
