    HD or HD-lite

    PS>>>>>>> Also if I find out that I was misled I will march myself down to my neighbourhood cablevision office with the converters under my arm, go back into the attic and reconnect the multi switch to all the room feeds. When they do the cable install I am not going to let them screw with any...

    HD or HD-lite

    Sorry for not responding so quick. I live in North NJ (not my fault!!!!!) about 20 mi from the g-dub. I wouldnt do it if the "under 100" channels (what do we call these??) werent digital. That is why i went back to SAT after the original 1 year pricing promo expired. I specifically asked...

    HD or HD-lite

    I am going to take the bait again> I had the triple pack (io,internet and telephone) about 2 years ago and when the $99 promo was over I switched back to D* because the analog cable channels were unwatchable on anything bigger than a 13" kitchen TV. I got a letter from C* offering me the promo...

    Let me get this straight

    I had direct for years until cable (NYC metro area) dangled the triple pack bundle in front of me (io cable, phone and internet for $99) and I jumped. After the year was up I got directv back and kept cables internet and phone because it was a big $ saver and the cable modem totally blazes. We...

    PC Sat tuners for HTPC setups, when?

    The only real self-preserving answer is WHEN. One year ago I was merely a reader and bystander to wireless networking. Recently I purchased I laptop and set up a wireless work because I was tired of being tethered to one room where my desktop is. Now I can carry my PC anywhere in my home, go...

    Good time to jump into hd?

    Hi, first time here, lots of great info, real thorough..... Currently I have diectv in 4 rooms and when I signed on over 1 yr ago I was given a directvivo that is installed in my main room with my HT. This year I scored a monster 65" mitsu 1080i HDTV (no 720p) to replace an aging 48" pioneer...
