    Fox News hd May 1st??

    The FOX .... LIVE .... FOX ... LIVE flag thing in the upper-left has gotten a little smaller, that's a good step. When CNN Headline News changed formats to the "scrolling headlines" thing on the bottom, I stopped watching. It used to be my favorite channel for news updates.

    Throttle VOD download ?

    The 2Wire definitely should have QoS. I'd recommend setting the MAC address of your D* box to "Lowest" priority, and you can leave your computers on the default. The idea is the router will give priority (a higher Quality of Service) to the other traffic over your D* box.

    how good is the service

    DirecTV's SD channels are much better than my local cable co (CableONE) and from what I've seen of DISH. Never seen DISH HD, however.

    RF antenna

    To clarify, you won't be able to record off an RF antenna on a DirecTV DVR besides the HR-20. It'll work with any standard TiVo, however.

    Just "Moved" to fairfield county, to get NY locals and HD feeds

    Yeah, i heard that they don't monitor what # you call in to, but to be on the safe side I *67(block my number),(2 second pause) then do the NY access # (area code 312). I have unlimited long distance and also am pretty confident that this is more than enough to counteract finding my real...

    Yeah, i'd be interested to know as well. The word that's been spreading is that directv doesn't care. Who? When? Why? How?
