i called they wouldn't send a new unit out but made a service call. I told them to make note and for the tech to bring a new unit just in case. Kind of pisses me off they would just send me a new one. I don't have to pay for the call but i do have to take a half day off to wait for them:mad:

I have an HD DVR and starting recently during playback of hd recordings the picture freezes and skips making it pretty much unwatchable. I tried to record non-hd shows and there is no problem with the playback. I have reset the unit and unplugged the power and still have issues. Any one have any...

I have my install setup for next week. I friend of mine had the new dish put in and the installer said something like the new satellite's are lower so they had to move his placement. Not sure if thats true but i have a phase 3 dish now with also the 72.5 dish for my locals. I should have no...

thanks for the info.

I am looking to upgrade to a HD DVR. My question is I live near syracuse ny and who knows when we will have HD locals. Will the new HDdvr still be able to pick up my locals with the old 72.5 dish and the new dish? I don't want to lose my locals and have to wait for syracuse to get lit up in hd...

i live near syracuse ny. I get the locals off of the 72.5 and get HD networks from fox and abc (the national feeds). I was cleared for waivers before they offered locals in our area. So until they put syracuse local in hd i get the national feeds for hd on fox and abc plus the locals from 72.5.

looking to get a directv tivo. Are they good? How does it handle ppv. Say if you buy a ppv fight and don't watch it that night but the next day you don't have to pay for it again or anything do you? Just wanting to know some info on it wanting to get one for a parent that can't handle setting...

some of you guys need to research before you jump head first into a hdtv. Yes hd looks great but the sd channels if streched will look somewhat blurry and distorted. I am used to it and think it looks fine. Give it a few years so more people can get these tvs and change the programing then

for the 72.5 sat you need the 2nd dish because it's a fourth satellite. some locals aren't on the other satellites.

make sure you hook it up right. you need to run all 4 cables from the phase III lnb multi switch to the 6x8 multi switch. at least thats what the installer told me had to be done as i watched him do the install.

I just have one hd box right now nothing like your setup.

while I wait for my reschedule and filter, would like to know mgmrick how do the syracuse locals look? ok? They are my locals.

i signed up weeks ago and everything seems ok to me.
