I had to restart my unit about 12 times before it was useable today around 5pm. The resolution was screwed. (only on an old 1080i projection) I thought it was toast. It finally took and seems a bit more responsive.. Whats with the 1080p? Has anyone tried this?

I asked this question in another forum but maybe I worded it wrong and no one answered. Anyway, here goes. Heres the equipment, 1 X 3LNB Dish 1 X Standard roof antenna. (it's plenty big for HD locals) 1 X HTL-HD 1 X HR10-250 2 Lines from the dish, 1 antenna line split into 2 lines...

I'm still waiting patiently to remove the phone line from my HR10. Hurry up will ya?

Will this thing upgrade when on Standby? HR10 On my HR10-250, will it call home and update and whatever while in standby mode? It just seems like it's completely turned off. Just want to make sure it will do its thing whether I'm viewing TV or its in standby mode.

I have two HD directv recievers with one standard roof mounted antenna using a standard cable splitter at the antenna, then each line combined with its own satellite cable to each tv, then separated by splitter to the receiver rear antenna and sat hook up. (with multiplexer/demultiplexer) One...

I currently have the 3LNB dish & attic mounted OTA antenna, + one HTL HD receiver. I get all the locals over the air in HD, plus all the New York locals via Sat. I am not locked into any commitment subscription and I dont think there's any new HD channels yet. Is there any reason for me...

Its not just directv, I can see it with dish network on my friends system, and I can see the compression on the local comcast digital cable that my mom has... Obviously its way less noticable on a smaller set, and way more noticable on a digital hd set, but its still there regardless of what you...

Theres no problem with the tv's settings, its not signal strength its not sitting too close to the TV. The SD picture quality is just plain terrible. They must figure that more people have smaller sets and just dont notice it.. I can see it from 15 feet away from my 55 inch, its fuzzy and...

But I like my Receiver!!! On a lighter note. Im angry that Im going to lose my nice "backlit" HTL-HD remote...(HRMC-17) Hell, I bought the similar Hughes SD reciever just to get the same remote...Well, its almost the same... Boo Hoo, I love those things in the dark.

Boat anchor As for being a boat anchor, dont they still make very decent HD OTA receivers? I know my HTL_HD works without the card in it...Of course its no TIVO but it still works... I highly doubt local OTA stations are going to switch to MPEG 4 in the near future...

ok maybe Im wrong I'de swear that one rep told me 50 was included in the package...Maybe not...50 isnt the greatest anyhow but they still show a couple things in HD... Anyhow, so they are going to ask for a recent bill? Gee it seems that I shred those bills as soon as they are paid...Hmm

Just talked to comcast Said it was 39.99 for the dish buy back program which is their Digital Silver, HBO, plus you get a DVR thats capable of HD recording and all the HD channels they have minus the other 3 movie channels. For 12 months. any addtional recievers are 4.99 But they want my...

Get a cheap sat finder Get one of those 10 dollar sat signal finders on Ebay or where ever... When I first got my system, I couldn't hit the satellite to save my life, once I got the cheap signal finder i had my system up and running in minutes. You will of course, have to fine tune it, but it...

I know for a fact that Comcast here in the burbs offer all the locals, 2,5,7,9,11,32 and 50 in HD, same as Over the air, they also have INHD 1 & 2, ESPN-HD, TNTHD, Discovery HD, and supposedly Sports Net in HD when you get the digital classic package... I also here they are adding Universal HD...

I currently have DirecTV HD and I am considering switching to Comcast with their DVR deal and HDTV. DirecTV over-compresses their SD channels so that when viewed on a digital big screen HDTV it looks like a carpet of squares and a really fuzzy picture. Does comcast compress their upper digital...
