Same.

727 message here in metro Atlanta. Only HD option locally is OTA. Why is the HD feed available everywhere but here, especially since we can get the SD feed via D*?

Please remind me. Who won the national championship(s) this year, and over whom? Chomp.

The irony of your bolded statements is so rich. Look, we're apparently just going to have to agree to disagree. I'm not seeking an argument, just an informed discussion. If you want to keep your fingers in your ears while shouting "LA LA LA," that's your prerogative. I've done nothing...

To clarify any of the confusion about what the plaintiffs are actually claiming in this suit, here's an excerpt from the complaint, posted over at avsforum.com DIRECTV Sued Over HDTV Picture Quality - AVS Forum

Some of you people are really amazing. Yes, I'm a lawyer, but no, I'm not making my living in the civil justice field. If the plaintiffs in this suit win and D* is hit with a money verdict, D* only has itself to blame. You shouldn't feel sorry for the megacorporation. They could give two...

Thanks. I really don't care who wins the suit, to tell the truth. All I'm hoping for here is an honest discussion, without all of the garbage political talking points on both sides. This shouldn't be a political discussion about the civil justice system in general. It should be about the...

Reading comments like this really frustrates me, because it's based on complete ignorance of the civil justice system. The people clamoring for tort reform don't even appreciate how badly they're being used as pawns. Oh, tort reform is a good idea, until it's you that gets hurt. Besides, it's...

I'm not sure how much of a precedent the lawsuit against D* would be. As I understand it, the plaintiff cited among other things statements in receiver user manuals that state that HD is 1920x1080. I know my old HTL-HD manual has that information in it. The core of this case is that D*...

I don't know how to separate individual quotes. I hope you were able to follow my responses.

OK, lawyer here, and I can't let these comments mislead this discussion. Respectfully, you couldn't be more wrong on just about every point. The plaintiff here only has to prove that D* promised a certain level of PQ at the time he signed his commitment and D* then knowingly failed to meet...

Does anyone know a local installer that could put up a SC dish if I ordered one? I don't trust myself to be able to do it.

My installer did not use any support monopoles on my roof mount (which has a pretty significant pitch). Did he do it wrong? When I asked him if they were needed, he said no. This .pdf seems to contradict him on page 7. I know that when my parents had an AT-9 installed on their house, which...

My question is simple enough. Preseason TV coverage of the NHL on a few of the RSNs begins tomorrow with a couple of games. Do blackout rules apply to those games? (Just so I'm clear, I'm *not* talking about regular season games, which I know are blacked out on Sports Pack unless you...

I called this morning and was able to get an install date of 9/21. Finally.
