Cable companies have basically unlimited bandwidth with SDV. How they choose to use and distribute that bandwidth is another story altogether.

Big Ten and RSN's aren't in the platinum package. RSN's and BTN are in Turbo Silver and Gold.

Yes, anyone within the DMA.

I thought the new service was for those that want Turbo HD?

I've let you act like a complete jerk for a couple of posts and taken the high road, but 3 strikes and you're out. Those with an IQ above 5 know for what the smilies are used. I was being sarcastic. So, for the last time, please have the same respect for others opinions that we have had for...

It's not $230 ETF better, but when my contract with D* is up, I will return to E* as long as Eastern Arc solves my reception problems. And yes, E*s HD PQ was better than D*'s, but like I said, not by much. Also, I do have 20/12 vision. :) The biggest reason for my disdain for D* has nothing...

Interesting. I've had both services, and E*'s HD PQ is better than D*'s, although not by much. I give D* the big edge in sports packages and reception. Eastern Arc should solve one of those problems. If you like movies in HD, however, E* just blows away D* in quality, quantity, and price.

He's a new customer Jimbo. His chances of getting an HR-20 are slim and none and slim just left the building.

No, not without buying an external device. No Wait a month and drop them an email.

The Big 4 are Conus as are the NY RSN's. Use a NYC address only--nothing upstate.

I'd expect more original thought from someone located in NW Ohio and flying that flag. I'm relaying my experience with D*'s DVR, which is what I believe was the question asked by the OP. It almost seems as if you are taking it personally. Like someone is bashing you because they have had bad...

The HR-20 is just a brutally bad piece of equipment. Typically, the only users who like it have never experienced another provider. I have only missed one recording, but it's just so clunky and slow and needs a reboot about once a week. D* is really smart to require 2 year contracts. I have...
