    Directv HD Quality

    He clearly has no idea of any science or technology and believes that unlike other Satellites, Directv's magical transponders have unlimited bandwidth. He probably also believes in 200MPG cars and perpetual motion machines. Just because he can't read a graph or understand the limitations of...

    Hard Time Aiming Slimline Dish!!!

    Obviously you do not have a H20 or HR20 as you don't know how they work compared to past IRDs - they do not show signal changes in real time. If the OP cannot find 101W, then its ridiculous for him to try installing a 5lnb - as noted - even those who are supposed professionals have issues...

    Red 'X' for 129 in System Info Grid

    Well, its certainly not a Sun outage if it has happened in the last week. 2 weeks ago that was certainly a possibility.

    splitting legacy lnbs to 4 tuners.

    INDEMAND will carry MLB EI? No so fast says MLB... How about E*?

    Considering the Cox Cable San Diego action yesterday - and Cox is a major player with inDemand - it shows they know this is not a match. It also explains why another cable head was upset at Cox's action yesterday - as telegraphs what is going on. However, instead of playing games, Cox was...

    INDEMAND will carry MLB EI? No so fast says MLB... How about E*?

    There is no requirement for cable to be all digital in Feb 2009. As Greg noted, this is a carefully crafted response so they can put it back on D* and MLB when it is rejected - just as MLB and D* attempted to shift the blame to cable with their "match" provision.

    KA Signal (99) - Going, Going, Gone..

    It could be a lnb issue, I would be shocked if just the Ka side went out - though in rare instances, it could happen - however it sounds like that is not the case - especially given how these are stacked. 1) Don't knock some - knock ALL ice and snow off your dish. Ka is even more suspectable...

    Directv HD Quality

    If you are asking has the MPEG4 picture quality improved over the MPEG2 on the Network Stations in LA and NYC, I would have to agree that of the 30 frames each second - that most appear have a "better" look to them than the VERY old MPEG2 encoders - however, the problem is the when there are...

    I Oppose the XM-Sirius proposed merger

    It is if you were on a 3 year contract for $9.95 a month. Regardless, its ALOT more than you are paying now.
