    which satellites could I reach from the midwest?

    Thanks guys. I assumed the guy didn't know what he was talking about, but then again I also had to assume he knew better than I, which put me in a strange spot...

    Anybody know if DirecTV is considering split-screen

    I don't know why E* folk are so married to that crap. Seriously. Having a second box means that you don't have to point your RF remote just right (I had that crap for a year) or if your box is broken, you still have an extra, etc. Plus, I don't want my HD receiver sending SD content to my...

    Is hd Capacity on Direct Strained??

    Why would they waste their time on that crap? I could sit here and debate with you how fox news is just right-wing propaganda, but i'll just stick with pointing out the notion that every bit of important content on fn is all about talk. CNN HD is pretty useless, how is fn hd gonna be any better?

    which satellites could I reach from the midwest?

    A guy I called from extremeFTA said I should be able to catch signals from satellites in germany. With a 32" dish... I'm not looking for a whole lot, but my big project for this summer, as I won't be working or going to school will be to teach myself german (or at least start). I figure it'd...

    Sometimes the HR21 doesn't make any sense

    The audio on my tuners went out on my HR21 for a full 2 hours earlier today. Nothing important got f**ked up, but I have 2 hours of crap on here that has no sound. What the...?

    Audio through H21/HR21 -HDMI

    That's what I do now. My new receiver will have HDMI, currently just my TV does. I'm shopping for a new receiver now. With the news that the PS3 will be handling DTS-MA internally, I will no longer need a receiver to do it (and a new blu ray player) so I can buy that new receiver next month.

    Can I get away with component for HD?

    It's possible that eventually they'll use HDCP for PPV, but never for regular TV. Not with cable companies shooting half of them over clearQAM. Locals they'll never do, because HD STBs all go through component. Not to mention the fact that there are still a lot of people without HDMI...

    Audio through H21/HR21 -HDMI

    Does the H(R)21's HDMI output stream audio as well as video? I know a lot of devices that only do video, but I'm getting a new HDMI switching audio reciever, and I'm wondering if I'm gonna need 3 ports (Xbox elite, PS3, HR21) or just the two...

    Dual usage of Satellite box

    Addendum: Where is your cabin exactly, I have a number of friends who have a number of cabins dotted around up north, I might be able to help if I know exactly what city or around what city it's in.

    Dual usage of Satellite box

    What I'd do in your situation would be to buy a slimline from ebay, the grounding block, etc, and set that up at your cabin, and either set up a new box up there, or just bring your box from home. (The former is the only way to go if you have a DVR) According to DTV Spots Map, the spot you're in...

    LIN Signs Agreement with DISH

    oh dear GOD no, directv is missing 31 local channels!!! Aren't we up by more than that as far as national HD channels go? I'm sorry to say it, but this is not a blowout for dish. We still have way more HD locals than they do, especially now that DTV11 is close to being in functioning order.

    Satellite Launch

    Major additions would only be with locals, there aren't more than 5 or 6 nationals in HD that we don't currently have.

    When will Directv ADD more HD?

    Once D11 is up and running.

    The first free HD VOD offering!

    I used to have on demand, and don't get me wrong, it was nice, but it's not the core of a TV system. The reason that D* is gaining in popularity is because of it's incredible lineup of HD channels, not because of the possibility of on demand. Also, all I hear you complaining about it the lack...
