    Stretching and Croping???

    Why are they croping programs? They are cutting off the top and bottom and it still doesn't fill the screen. I have been watching TNTHD for a while now and they stretch better than these new channels. I can deal with the stretch,but the crop is terrible. I was watching a show with subtitles the...

    Why does volume level vary so much?

    I have an idea as I am having the same problem. I read a post in the other forum that you have to call your local provider that sends the signal to D* and tell them they need to adjust it. Maybe we could have a sticky post of our local providers contact #s so we all know who to call and...

    D* hr20-100 & b-band converter

    I read over at DBSTalk that some multi switches don't work with the converters. You need to use the builtin (Straight from dish or some certain kind of switches). Do a search for B-Band and I'm sure you will find it.

    install??

    It was a good deal.The DVR would be $80 after 12 months,but I have heard of people upgrading and keeping their Tivo for shipping cost. I don't have the $200 bucks to kick in right now. I might just trade it in even stevens. It will be obsolete anyway.

    install??

    I searched but,could not find the answer. Will Directv ship me the HR-20 and Dish so that I can do a self install? This is not my first rodeo:D I own an HR10-250 and I want to keep it. Will I have to play CSR roullette to get a free one? I guess I know the answer to that one.

    Why should they take away anything that we pay for?

    inside antenna options?

    I have a 2000 Chevy pickup and was wondering if there are any options for mounting an antenna inside the front windshield? I have seen the Sigma,but was wondering if putting the OEM antenna on the dash would work?

    DirecTV to Launch Significantly Viewed DMA service

    I am also curious about this as well. Growing up I am used to watching Boston locals as well as the Providence/New Bedford locals. R.I. is such a small state that Boston is considered local,but not according to the DMA?????
