I use a small eyeglass lens cloth as a drape over the sensor on the front of my H20 to block out the interference from my Sharp Aquos LCD. That way the remote still works and I don't have to make any adjustments to the Sharp.

D* sent me a replacement when my H20-600 started rebooting about six weeks ago. The replacement was the H20-100 and it has worked perfectly. They charged me 19.95 for shipping with credit back on my bill. Swap it out. It won't heal itself.

I thought KTVU channel 2 looked horrible when I caught part of the Panthers-Dolphins game last night through my H20. Normally, HD locals have looked excellent via D*.

I'm in the San Fran DMA and currently a subscriber to E* standard definition. Who gets priority for the new D* HiDef receivers, current subscribers or new subscribers?

Guess it's just me and the crickets in here. So much for this forum.

I have called Charter every other month for the past year asking when HD would be available here on the Central California coast (I live on the fringes of the SF Bay Area). Responses have been: in March, don't know, negotiating with the locals, next year...In the meantime, I have SD E*. When...
