Thanks for all the imput. I will go ahead and see what the TP2 has to offer and see if I can get used to it. And if not, it will be back to the BB. And Don, if I get lost with the thing, youu will have to help me find my way ;)

I am having a hard time choosing between these two. I currently have an 8330 Curve and I am more than satisfied with it, but I am intrigued with the TP2. But, I don't know how I will "really" like the touch screen in everyday use, which consists mainly of phone, text, and internet use. I played...

I finally received a Key from D* last night and I am now up and running this latest beta. Everything is working fine except I notice some blockiness on peaoples faces. I guess blockiness is the right term for what I am seeing, you can tell the picture is just not right. This was on a recording...

I went back and tried this again yesterday. I went through all the d/l's and I still have not received a serial #. I have checked and it is not being blocked by my ISP spam filter either. Maybe my 100.00 per month I give D* is not enough to "qualify" for the Beta program. (And yes, I know that...

How long does it take to get a serial number back from Directv? I applied last night and still nothing. I ran a hard wire to my home theatre for my PS3 and decided to take advantage of it and also hooked it to my sat receiver. I figure I amy as well play with this now but I can't install without...

You will have a tough time with the Yamaha amp and the DTV remote. While you may be able to turn the amp on you will not be able to turn it off. Yamaha uses two buttons for on/off not just one button. I know I finally gave up and just use both of the remotes, although i at least can control the...

No, can't get any picture, just the "not subscribed" message. I figured that was it but they are not listed in the Showtime lineup on DirecTV site.

In my guide I can see SHO3HD and EXTRHD. They seem to be part of a package but I cannot find any info on them on the Directv site. I searched this forum and found nothing about them either. I don't subscribe to any of the Premium movie packages but I still see these 2 in my "what I can get" list.

Looks like 4 channels of nothing to me. I don't watch any of them.

Wekk DUH:eek: I didn't notice that above as I don't pay attention to stuff like MLB-EI. Thanks for pointing that out :D

I was browsing around up in the Sports channels and I was surprised to see that I could get every baseball game that was being shown, on all the regional networks. I thought I would only be able to see Fox MW and Fox KC since my Service address is in KC. I double-checked my account info and I am...

I have it figured out now and will post to say what my problem was. After hours of research today, I started seeing comments on how this adapter, even though it has all the options to do WPA, will not work when in that mode. So I came home and setup a second SSID using WEP, reset the adapter to...

OK, I am having another go at getting this to work. I have since switched to a new Linksys router to see if it would work any better, which it does not. I have all the wireless security settings set to match. I have also set a static IP on the router to 192.168.1.250 with the MAC address of the...

This is no different than E*. I may just give this a shot and see if it works.

I was looking at a spotbeam coverage map for the satellite at 101 that carries the Kansas City locals. I am considering a "move" to KC from my current location in order to get the HD locals from KC. I currently get them from E* this way but I really want to drop E* altogether. I have kept them...
