    Problems with CNNHD APLHD DISCOVERY/ BTEN HD

    Which nine channels don't work? If they are channels in the Choice XTRA package, your problem could be like the one I had this morning. Read my earlier post: http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-hd-discussions/108656-if-you-get-channel-not-purchased-choice-xtra-channels.html Hantu

    Bump. Just once (Is this worth a "Sticky"?)

    If you get "Channel Not Purchased" for Choice XTRA Channels.....

    Ok, I just got off the phone w/ Rita (CSR from D* with the sniffles :( ). I called her because I was missing DiscoveryHD TLC-HD, etc. Not everything, but just those in the Choice XTRA package. RESULT: If you have Choice XTRA (or have recently upgraded to it) and you are not getting...

    Test Channel: 9301 Channel not Purchased ext. 721

    I had channels last night, but I don't having either of them now. 480, 481, and 498 are good, though. I figure that if I have a problem tomorrow, I'll worry about it then. As "The Hitchhiker" said, Don't Panic!

    Test Channels 9300 & 9301 should stay on ! *Update: They are up now!

    Try to remember: This is not a test for "Picture Quality". This is a test of the overall distribution of channels. Functionality before beauty. Remember your first car? Mine got me from A to B, but man, did it look like a hunk o' s***. Cheers, Hantu

    Got my new Pansat 9200HD

    Labgate, Where did you get this receiver from? I don't like buying things on eBay, so I'm hoping you purchased it from one of the fine SatelliteGuys sponsors. Thanks, Hantu

    It's Alive! It's Alive! What a pain in the a**! I called D* and asked them if they were aware that when I upgraded to the H20 last week that I also upgraded to the new Slimline dish. They said (insert Indian accent here: "We will put a notation on your account that you have upgraded to the...

    Why should I get a new converter? I have 480, 481, and 498. If I have those, the BBC should be fine, right?

    I am still getting "Channel Not Purchased" (like the other night. I have reset the receiver once, but I still have squat. I have had "Recent Activity" for HD Access on my account and I even went through the menus at D* to "change" my programming. Still nothin'. Any insiders with any thoughts...
