    blackbars on local football

    On the sunday ticket channels, I see the fox games fine. But on my local channel fox 5 dc wttg, I see black bars across the top and sides. Is this a problem with fox, the local fox channel, or directv?

    tivo hd?

    We got a new tv, that used the R10 receiver. My wife loves the tivo features. I see some old websites that says there is a new partnership between directv and tivo. Should we wait to upgrade to that HD DVR? Does anyone know any rumored dates?

    Sunday Ticket: Dolphins v. Texans no HD?

    The guide isn't matching the listing on NFL.COM. 726 says SIGNOFF on the guide, but NFL.com shows that to be the brown/patriots, so dolphins/texams would be on 704 and 719.

    Wednesday looks good!!

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/23/AR2007092301104.html Does that mean that I have to pay an additional 4.99 a month? I thought this channel would be included in the 9.99 that I already pay.

    How to receivers work?

    Which splitter are you talking about? If there is only one power passive output, does that mean that only that side can change the channel? I'm looking for an option to place two receivers on it. If those two receivers must be on the same channel... I guess I'll live with that because I'm not...

    How to receivers work?

    I just want it installed! But as it stands now, I cannot take advantage of all that directv is offering, either because directv cannot hire enough technicians, or the right ones, or cannot deliver on what I was offered.

    How to receivers work?

    I used the word "decent" because I am frustrated with directv. The installer out this last time spent an hour trying, and showed up on the 8-12 range. I've been trying to get this installed since December. And I understand its more Directv's fault and not the individual installers. But the...

    How to receivers work?

    I know I need a line from each tuner to the satellite. I have 2 D10, 1 R10 with only one line, and 1 HR20 with two lines. The installer said it was impossible to run a second line to the R10. He said that there were two lines in the wall, one going north for the kitchen tv, and one going...

    HR20 audio drops

    Several channels... mostly on the HD locals, but that is what I've been watching the most. I read other people report this... I am in the DC area. Would a software upgrade fix it? Or is it hardware?

    Dish roof install - winter?

    I recently had a slimline installed on my roof. Second guy to come out said that Directv never puts a dish on the roof (even though I showed him the phase III already on the roof). First and third guys never showed. Thanks to the fourth guy (but who only ran one line to the HR20 so I'm still...
