Good point. Well, I'm gonna make sure my OTA tuner does work with the new geniie and then "move"! Thanks everyone!

Guess I'll be "moving" tonight. I did get the service contract with them though. May be I should cancel that. Otherwise if anything happens I'll have to "move" back again... :D

Thanks! But what would they do? cancel my account so I can go back to comcast or go to Dish N? :D :D

Couple of year ago (when I had the HR21) I "moved" to NYC from California and was getting the national feed for networks (ABC, CBS, etc). I had the OTA tuner then. Back then the process was quite easy: just called DTV and told them the new install address. When they offered a new install said...

It's the regular network shows I'm talking about. Xfinity had them all in HD but so far all of them in DTV are in SD.

yeah. Both using my receiver or online for VOD for ABC for example all I find for new shows is SD format.

I switched from Comcast to DTV a couple of months ago. Happy with the higher number of HD and better picture quality but disappointing that the VOD content so far for local channels (e.g., NBC and ABC) is in SD. Haven't checked the other locals (Fox, CBS, etc) yet. I guess I am disappointed...

dang. stupid Directv OTA tuner is acting up. It won't see the main channels for fox and abc! WTF?? It shows the sub-channels (e.g, 2.2, or 7.2, 7.3) but when I try the 2.1 or 7.1 it says "no signal". Makes no sense other then it is broken (I can see those channels with my TV tuner.) wonder what...

Cool. Thanks. I actually get my locals with OTA pretty darn good. Just want to do sum time shifting! :D thanks again

Anybody knows a good zip code that I can "move" to in order to get the NY HD channels? In the past DTV had the "other local channel" options that allowed me to check that as well as if I qualified but I can't find that any longer. I am also assuming those NY HD channels are still on CONUS...

thanks for the replies. It happened before I did the CE and after. also, it has happened before and after a reboot!

Happenned with showtime when recording weeds and movies. Shows recording, shows on the list and also shows the duration. When I try to play it seems like it goes to the end of the recording cause it asks if I want to delete or keep it. If I say keep it and try to play, it does the same! Only...

Anybody else? Guess no other Bay Area folks around here?

I just noticed yesterday KTEH-DT5 appeared on my local list. This is PBS from San Jose, CA. There is nothing showing though and it only shows "sign off". I kept checking the schedule and all the way till Wednesday it still showed "sign off". Is that a sign that Direct is starting to add PBS in...

Based on my personal experience, I'd say yes. I "moved" 3 times before and after I got service call to my misaligned dish. There was a never a problem with directv or questions why I was "moving" so much. I used to have east coast HD channels but then they started offering CW and MYnet HD for my...
