    audio problems in chicago

    The latest software patch did not fix the audio problem for me.

    Native Mode.. Bad for the TV?

    The H20 Native mode is obviously the best choice for PQ, but will all that resolution changing have a negative effect on the life of my plasma?

    audio problems in chicago

    I can confirm the same audio problems in Dallas. I called D* and they said a software patch for the H20 is in the works.

    H20/RC24 Remote/Norcent 2023 LCD TV

    Has anyone found a code that works on the RC24 for the new Norcent 2023 LCD TV? Both Norcent codes listed in the manual do not work.

    Up and running in Dallas

    I am now getting the Dallas mpeg-4 feeds after my install today (Still no ABC/WFAA Channel 8). Everything looks fine except for some white artifacts on CBS 11. Anyone else notice this? Sound is good.

    Another Clueless D* CSR Story

    Thought of that already. Aparently, the two year agreement is tied to the fact that I activated the H20, not to the fact that I got (or was supposed to get) a $200 rebate. In other words, I am no longer eligable for the $200 since I bought my receiver early. Their explanation was that since I...

    Another Clueless D* CSR Story

    I've been waiting for 3 weeks to get my rebate form in the mail for my H20. I finally called today and was told the form is actually on the web (that would have been nice to know 3 weeks ago). After reading the form, it turns out that unless you live in Detroit, the rebate is only good if you...

    Getting the Most out of my EDTV/D* HD Receiver

    I have an EDTV that will display up to 480p through its component inputs, however it supports up to 800x600 through its VGA input. Is there any way I can take advantage of this? My HD receiver has a VGA output.. Can I (using some kind of hardware) somehow transform a 720p or 1080i signal into...

    Dallas LiL.. No ABC?

    I got an answer from WFAA: 1. Why do you broadcast your HD signal in VHF when all other DFW HD stations broadcast in UHF? ANSWER: They did not choose channel 9 as their DTV channel, it was assigned by the FCC. 2. Why were you the only DFW affiliate to not sign my waiver and allow me an...

    Dallas LiL.. No ABC?

    I sent an angry letter to WFAA asking the following: 1. Why do you broadcast your HD signal in VHF when all other DFW HD stations broadcast in UHF? 2. Why were you the only DFW affiliate to not sign my waiver and allow me an east coast ABC feed? 3. Why are you the only DFW affiliate not...

    Dallas LiL.. No ABC?

    For some reason, WFAA (ABC Channel 8/9-1HD) is not listed as one of the new HD locals on the D* site. Anyone know why? I was really hoping to get it since it's the only Dallas channel I can't get with my antenna.. Mainly because they stupidly broadcast in VHF (9-1) instead of UHF like everyone...

    Last of the 12 LiL Markets Are Live!

    If you sign the 2 year comitment and get the H20 receiver ($199 with a $200 mail in rebate) and the free dish/install you will get HD locals through your dish (no need for an antenna). Keep in mind, the H20 is not a DVR. I believe the mpeg-4 DVR is due out early next year. Once you sign the...

    Last of the 12 LiL Markets Are Live!

    All 12 markets should now be offering HD locals. I am in the Dallas area and was able to get my dish and "tenative" install date. Like all the other stories, they are still charging $99, unless you ask to talk to customer retention. They waived the $99 charge for the dish and installation...

    Will my monitor sync?

    I have one of those EDTVs that also has a VGA input that can support up to 800x600. Will this monitor sync with a HD receiver putting out 1080i (effectively 540p) via its RGB output, or will I hit the wall with 480p?
