Recently my H20 receiver started resetting itself at various times throughout the day. I've only had it happen when watching espn hd, it doesn't happen when watching other channels. For example, last night watching the home run derby, the receiver would just cut out and then reset itself. This...

Regular Season Games I'd be more interested to know if the regular season games (starting around thanksgiving) will be available in HD on D*... I would think so...and I shouldn't have to buy the kitchen sink to get it in HD. As long as you have the HD package you should get it.

Philly Locals are bad too I live in the Allentown PA area and get Philly HD Locals (MPEG4). They are horrible, pretty much unwatchable. The channels constantly cut in and out (CBS, NBC and ABC mostly, FOX and now UPN seem okay). Thank God I still get the NY HD Locals as well. They work...

good ole JAVA Good ole' JAVA -- write once, run slow everywhere...

Allentown area I'm in the Allentown PA area and get the Philly HD locals. They suck! NBC constantly has audio sync issues and ABC is always cutting out or pixilating. I was lucky to have been receiving NY locals, which have far less problems, but was recently informed that I would be losing...

Not sure... I'm not really sure...I had the NY Locals in HD for some time. When I upgraded to MPEG4, they remained...

Yes, I see the same issues... I notice the same issue with NBC (10) all the time. So bad that I continue to watch NBC on channel 82 (NY HD). But these days I'm not watching much of anything... I've really had nothing but problems since I had the 5LNB installed. I'm without signal again since...

Not having much luck... I had my 5 LNB installed in the same location that my 3 LNB was (on the roof -- 2 story home) and have had to call twice now for lost signal. Everything seemed to be fine, but this past week there have been some nasty rain/wind storms in northeastern Pennsylvania. I...

Since the MPEG4 upgrade I recently upgraded to MPEG4 (Philly Area) and have been seeing the same issues on all of my Philly HD locals. The NY HD locals are behaving better (80, 82, 86 and 88). Me thinks there are still a lot of bugs to be worked out with MPEG4...

Just got the upgrade Just got the upgrade...boy the dish is huge! Probably twice the size as the triple LNB. I feel bad for the installers lugging that sucker up the ladder... Picture quality is good, possibly a little better.... There is no DVI hookup on the H20 only HDMI, component or...

In reply to: "Has anyone gotten the philly install yet? Just curious how it compares to ota" I have an install scheduled for Dec 6th...I'll let you know...

$49 I live in the philly area and just called to get the HD upgrade. The CSR said the charge was $99 for the upgrade. I said that I heard the upgrade was free so he said that he would check into it. After sitting at his desk silent for about 20-30 seconds he said that he found...

Sept 8th The online programming guide on directv.com has channel 72 (espn2HD) starting as of 9/8

Just got my monthly bill from D*. An insert was included that had the new channel listings. ESPN2HD was listed, channel 72, with a note "as of 9/8"
