    D* Won't Give Me Fox HD for the games

    Right.... I satisfy ALL the rquierments, but they won't turn it on for me. They tell me if it wasn't tuned on for me automatically then too bad. They can't do anything for me. Even with my email letter from D*. Last night the customer retention dude told me they have been receiving A...

    D* Won't Give Me Fox HD for the games

    I got an email response today from D*. I quote a section : "In areas where FOX operates the local station, this feed is automatically added to your account...." I called DTV.... still no dice....

    D* Won't Give Me Fox HD for the games

    It is curious about the waiver thing. I got the same canned response when I had to call them to turn on CBS HD, and then NBC HD when they came online. The first time I called for each, I got the waiver thing. One CSR wasn't even going to transfer me to a supe, since she "knew" the rule and...

    D* Won't Give Me Fox HD for the games

    It is very odd: It's almost as if their response is completely scripted. Both of them told me they've been getting a LOT of calls about this issue the last two days. I talked to two CSR's tonight. Both told me it was out of their hands. WHen I got through to another supervisor, I...

    D* Won't Give Me Fox HD for the games

    Maybe! Seriously, I was not being facetious when I said I have called 6 times and talked with supervisors 3 of those times. Maybe the 7th call will do the trick. So far the CSR's agree with me that I meet the criteria in their script, but they and the 3 supervisors say it's out of...

    D* Won't Give Me Fox HD for the games

    I've popped in my exact address in the site that tells you who claims you, and the only fox station that show up is Fox 4 in Dallas. The only one I will have issue with when it ever comes online is ABC, which is a BELO station. My CBS and NBC are O&O and I get those now (80 and 82).

    D* Won't Give Me Fox HD for the games

    I promise, they really said it. It was my understanding that just as with CBS and NBC HD, I would get the FOX HD baseball games if I lived in an O&O area? (and had all the HD stuff...) Or am I wrong on this?

    D* Won't Give Me Fox HD for the games

    I got channel 88 the first night of the LCS's, and not since. I have now talked to 6 different CSR's and three "supervisors." They are all now reading me the same script. One even went so far to tell me it was a script. It goes something like this: You must be a subscriber to...

    HI all, Love my new HTL-HD.... right now I'm using the component inputs on a tv. I'm getting ready toi buy a TV that has the HDMI input. I know this is different than the DVI connection. IS there a cable that goes from our HTL-HD's DVI to a TV's HDMI? Or should I get a TV...

    Do you Recommend a phase 3 dish??

    I would say yes. Even if you're not going to get HD programming yet, you'd be set up already when and if you do. I've had DirecTv since there's been DTV (and USSB). I just installed the PhaseIII last weekend. I wish I had done it..or at least had the four cables pulled when I built...

    Hi all... All is well with my new HTL-HD...all my DTV signals are solid, as well as 99.9% of my OTA.... I have one OTA (ABC) that breaks up and the sound cuts in and out continuously. When I go to the ATSC signal test, it is showing a 93. Other OTA's are showing anywhere from 79...

    Dallas Area OTA HD info

    I'm using the new HTL-HD. You are correct. You don't have to subscribe to DTV's HD service to receive the OTA HD signals.

    Is signal strength "relative" depending on which STB you have?

    HI all.. I'm just curious. On my 2 DirecTivo's and my one Samsung plain DTV box, I get high 80's to mid 90's (99 on some)on all three birds. On my new HTL-HD, I'm getting high 70's to mid 80's on the same transponders. Highest is 85 on the same tranponders my DTivos show 99. (and...
