This answer is no help at all. It just points to the send your greetings thread. There is one post that mentions listening to a specific radio station if you happen to be in Michigan. The email sent out makes it sound like it is one the web? Is it not on the web? Are we reading more into it than...

I hate to say it, but AT&T SUCKS! Their Uverse was known for over-compression of the HD programming. They have done nothing but screwed up what once was great PacBell DSL service. It is now slower than ever, and constantly losing one feature after another. Their cell phone service is amongst the...

PS3 playing Far Cry2 ... it ROCKS. Can't put it down. Only 50% completed and been playing since February, a little bit here and there, sometimes all day. Great graphics, love the open world, go where you want when you want. There are organized tasks, but you don't have to follow in specific...

Separate Video, more commonly known as S-Video, and sometimes incorrectly referred to as "Super Video" and also known as Y/C, is an Analog signal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia video signal that carries the video data as two separate signals, luma (luminance) and chroma (colour). This...

I switched from TWC to D* in July 2008 and could not be happier. The HD picture quality of D* is so much better than that which I experienced on TWC. I have not had any problems with my HR021 HDDVR since day 1. I enjoy being able to select programs to record while I'm at work, both from the...

FIOS and fiber are the same thing though. Verizon does not hold a lock on the term FIOS which just stands for Fiber Optic Service.

OK, I'll buy that. Although AT&T and TW Cable both claim that they provide FIOS service, just not mentioning that it is only to the node.

Is the FIOS available to you via a cable company, phone company such as AT&T, or Verizon? In my area, we have the choice of AT&T or Time Warner. Both of them are jokes compared to D*. I wish I was in a Verizon area so that I could switch to their FIOS service ... but being in an AT&T area...

I would not think that a USB cable connection would work as the PC will only recognize a hard drive formatted in its own protocol. The computer will not recognize anything formatted outside its own operating system. If you connect a sata drive to the satellite dvr via e-sata, the first thing...

I can only speak for myself. Why did I go with D* over E* two weeks ago when I finally decided to dump TWC? D* had more HD channels from what I could see. They also offered much more in their packages at lower prices. My wife and I like all of the Discovery and educational type channels ... and...

Fair enough, except, TWC also charged us $5 extra for the two extra TV's. So that extra $5/month is across the board.

My wife returned our Time Warner DVR today. In the TWC store, they had ads about getting two more channels in HD very soon ... let's see, that will bring them here to 15 channels instead of 13 ... as compared to D*'s 45 ... hey!!! That brings D* down to only 3 times as many :rolleyes:

AMEN!!! They just lost another customer today when my wife called to cancel our TWC service after having D* installed yesterday. They asked her why ... she said her husband wanted MORE HD ... and I got it too ... 46 channels as opposed to TWC's 13. They said they are increasing their number of...

This issue is resolved and I'm a happy camper again: Actually, it happened when I attempted to enter the codes to allow the remote that came with the HR21 to work with the TV and AVR. Although I use a Harmony 880, my wife prefers the old fashioned way of multiple remotes. So I was trying to...

Thanks for your reply. Everything is properly set up in the Denon receiver. It actually worked for about 10-15 minutes before losing the DD input signal. The Denon will auto detect any input signal and automatically play whatever comes in. It has worked with the TWC Moto DVR for a couple of...
