Well kids, here are some germaine facts concerning my person: 1. Have had Directv for about 10 years. 2. Have had the H20 since mid April. 3. Have been into HD since late 2001, I think. Super Bowl 2002 at the latest. 5. Have 5 HD TV's including my coup de grace, a Sony WEGA SXRD 1080p set...

I was told today that it is going to be Fall '06. Then she said possibly in September. Doesn't matter to me as I am having Time Warner installed on the 31st of July and giving Directv the boot. I can get digital cable TV, Road Runner and digital phone and FOUR HD DVR's for 40 dollars less per...

Directv will respond. It may take a month or so, but you watch, they will throw us a bone to keep us from leaving...probably HGTV-HD.

I have the mpeg4 HD locals. I have not and will not lose my HD DNS feeds. I have four current and active waivers....

I did a comparison yesterday between NBC Columbus and NBC New York during the afternoon hockey game and there was no contest. NBC Columus was bright, sharp, crisp and clean while the NY feed (channel 82) was dull, less colorful, less vibrant and seemingly muted. We really have been screwed by...

And with four waivers, my local affiliates gave up up their rights to economical gain, in my case. Well, if Directv is not the real problem in all of this, then I am completely screwed as I have NO hope of affecting the FCC or NAB or even my elected officials...........

The advantage for Directv to shut off my LA HD nets was obvious, in that it was done just prior to football season. I quit subscribing to the NFL ST package because of the blackouts so I just had two less HD channels for watching football. Well, I read the FCC fact sheet on SHVERA over and...

Well, I have read SHVERA and the associated fact sheet. Believe it or not, I am allowed to receive no more than TWO HD networks from my associated timezone. According to this, I am legally allowed to receive Columbus digitals AND NY digitals. According to SHVERA, I am also allowed to receive LA...

I expect both both because I earned both and I pay for both. Without HD DNS, my 1000 dollar HD Tivo is not much more useful than the three other tivos I have.

1. 43050 2. I live 45 miles from the towers and cannot erect a antenna in my condo. All four network affiliates granted me a full waiver. Only one is O&O (NBC) and apparently they are being sold and will no longer be O&O. 3. Yes, I called and wrote to Direct before installing the new dish and...

Disturbing. I was assured by a "resolution specialist" this would not happen to me. I have four active waivers in place, so maybe that makes me safe, but who knows? I need to get on the horn and call the higher ups at Direct to ensure I never get one of these cards......

I wouldn't want it at all. I remember the channels and I also remember the content. Out of all their programming, I would likely record only one show per week. Believe it or not, there are no HD channels available out there that Direct doesn't carry which interest me. I have no interest in...

And the last date I heard (2 weeks ago) from Directv was fall, which obviously could translate into December 2006. Ugh.

There is nothing in SHVERA that precludes me from having all these channels and in fact, I should have LA HD channels, but Direct stopped them. I have four current, active waivers from the Columbus network affiliates and have had them in place for over two years. I live 45 miles from the...

I was assured that I would NOT lose my HD DNS channels. Now, I have: HD DNS from NY. HD locals from Columbus. SD DNS from LA and NY.
