Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night...

It is nice to see more folks getting their locals in HD. I have had my locals for a couple of years now and was curious if they plan on adding the CW or PBS in HD...as any of these new markets getting more than the standard ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX? Just wondering...

I have been testing this on my laptop for the past week. I can only view SD based on my laptops ability. It is nice to view some SD while working in my office at home on my laptop, otherwise I watch HD in the basement on my home theater set-up. Things have worked great until just recently...for...

Well SD works like a charm. HD is stuttering so bad it is not watchable. If I hit pause and wait for a few minutes the HD works fine for about a min then starts stuttering again. I am assuming my DSL connection is too slow for the HD part.

I have never used a TiVO before but was a previous E* 622 user and now a happy D* HR21 member. One thing I do miss with E*'s 622 (not sure if this 622 specific), the guide showed episode numbers for listings making it easier to see how many episodes were aired. An example would be a mini-series...

I got the sports pack for the upcoming college football as well. If most of them are blacked-out then I will cancel it immediately. I have no need for all of those extra channels if they do not give me much to watch.

I enjoyed VOOM when I was an E* customer, but have now been with D* since mid-April. When I first got VOOM with E* it was great...Monsters HD was the best. The past 6 months though, VOOM was repeats over and over again...not much new content. Monsters HD would have the same two shows over and...

Never used this feature on my previous 622 either.

I am awaiting Chiller HD and Travel Channel HD, the rest will just be a bonus for me. Don't get me wrong, D* has so much more quality HD than E* and getting more HD just makes thing better. Love watching BSG on SCIFIHD.

Well I made the switch last month, the 21st of March was my installation date. The install went great and only took them about 1.5 hours. What made me switch was the following reasons: ScifiHD, SpeedHD and MGMHD (already have recorded many programs on my DVR) Promotions in price for a year...

I had my equipment installed on March 21, 2008. I have both the H21-100 and the HR21-100, new with the bbc's and the slimline 5 lnb dish. I have just recently noticed when watching HD programming I am experiencing some audio drop outs. I was watch StarzHD and during the movie there were audio...

Nice to see new HD again. I switched from E* to D* March 21st and watching HD seems to be a whole new experience again. Thanks D*. My two boys are going to love the Disney HD additions and now I might actually watch ESPNews for once. I used to only watch sportscenter since it was in HD. I seem...

Thanks for your help I will try the update on my HR21 dvr during the window tonight.

I also noticed on D*'s HD page in the scroll animation there is chillerHD, Outdoor2HD, MTV2HD, DisneyHD, ToonDisneyHD, BETHD and ESPNewsHD...hopefully this is for tomorrow. I just hate April Fools Day for news!!!! Never know what is actually correct or a joke. In my opinion this is not a joke...

Well I am also new to D* from E* and ran the update on both of my receivers which appears to have worked successfully. My question is also regarding software updates. I have the HR21-100 and the HR21-100 DVR. I notice when I go to the settings and Info&Test on the setup screen it shows the...
