Is anybody else having trouble with DIRECTV's on demand channels? Last night I tried to download an episode of The Sopranos, and got a message that the content wasn't available. They were convinced that the problem was that the receiver wasn't connected to the internet, but they sent a...

Since sports are involved, maybe D* can pull a trade: keep the sports nets, FX, Speed, etc on the air, and take off Fox News? :)

I switched from Dish this past summer, and had Center Ice with them last year. They still had all of the Center Ice games, but none of the Fox Net or MSG broadcasts were available in HD. I think they also blocked the commercials that those channels ran during the games.

I'm inclined to agree with this. A few years ago I had Primestar. When DirecTV bought them out, I bought a DirecTV system off ebay. I was pretty happy with it, but then I got an HD ready tv, and here I was with an SD receiver that belonged to me. Not to mention that if something went wrong...

I have always figured that they don't give US subscribers a lot of the Canadian games in HD is because of bandwidth issues, and they figure 1) if a Canadian team is playing a U.S. team there will probably be a U.S. network HD feed, 2) if two Canadian teams are playing each other, interest in the...

Here's an update. Thanks to everyone who gave me input on this. I changed the locations this afternoon. I didn't have a white box with any of the receivers, but the DVR had a black box with it. So I moved it, too. Mistake! After I re-connected things and powered up, all three tvs told me...

I had DirecTV installed last weekend to replace Dish Network. I received the whole home DVR setup, and when I told the installers what to put where I wasn't 100% familiar with how the whole home system worked. My wife is the major DVR user in the house, she watches tv a lot in our bedroom...

You'll never see CSN Philly on a satellite service. It's not broadcast via satellite, but, unless they have changed and I missed it, they use the old PRISM microwave setup. I assume we get the occasional Flyers game broadcast on Center Ice because I believe those games are distributed via...

I haven't read all 54 pages (!) of posts, so I apologize if this has been asked and answered already: I have the NHL package on Dish. There are a LOT of NHL games carried on the FSN channels. Does this mean that when the NHL season starts this week that all the games that are on FSN will not...

Pardon me if this has been discussed here before...I'm rather new and have just spent the last 45 minutes looking for a relevant discussion but haven't found one. I understand that local channel eligibility works on your zip code. Dish will, I assume, be adding channels in my local market...

now you guys have me wondering..... I'll admit that sometimes Fox21 doesn't look as good as WBOC does, and even mentioned to my wife once that I wondered if it was true HD. Now, channel 40 in Wildwood, which I pull in for NBC, showed the Stanley Cup finals in what was obviously 480i...

I have a clip on antenna to my Dish antenna that gives me a better picture for locals than I get from Comcast. I have suspected a sweetheart deal with Comcast for a while, as back a couple of years ago, coincidentally just before the NFL season as I recall, WBOC/FOX21 announced that HD would...
