I had DirecTV for two years before switching to Uverse. My experience with DirecTV was full of amazingly slow menus and channel changes, frequent audio drops, and occasional weather disturbances. I can tell that I took a slight step downward in picture quality, but I also do not have any of...

Adding Receiver/Renewal I am approaching the end of the my two year contract with DirecTV. I am considering making a switch to Uverse but will most likely stay with DirecTV. I would like to add a second HD DVR receiver but I really think its unreasonable that they charge $200 AND a monthly...

I've gathered that MOJO is owned by the cable operators. Any rumors of them releasing for DirecTV? I like the channel but wouldn't switch to cable to get it. DirecTV HD is just too nice.

Here is a recap of how my installation went yesterday. I was scheduled for 8-12 and got a call around 9:30 saying that the technician would arrive around 11:30. I got a call at 11:30 saying they would be there in about 45 minutes and they arrived around 12:45. Not too bad considering they had...

I can tell people are passionate about their HT setups. Thanks again for the input.

Thanks for the tips. Probably go with the Yambeka set after reading the review on this site and the SR705. Is it difficult to add a sub to a HITB like the Yambeka and ensure the sounds mesh?

Can anyone provide some insight: I'm looking to get a 5.1 speaker system that also performs well with music. Does anyone have suggestions? I don't want to spend more than $500-600. Also, anyone with A/V receiver suggestions would be helpful. I would like a unit that can switch between...
