    One RSN switched to 24/7 HD on 10/29

    I'm a Celtics fan and am extremely happy about this. For those who are not so excited.... it's better than nothing.

    DirecTV-2-PC Public Beta

    Good question. I've had my HR21 connected to my network (and thus the internet) so I can use VOD for about 5 months now (I *moved*) and they have not said a peep to me about it.

    Weather Channel: Locals on the 8's

    Does anyone know if the new interactive stuff on TWC also includes local alerts (like watches and warnings that pop up when in affect)? I think that would be great, and even a feature they could maybe let you enable no matter what channel you are watching, so you'll always know about severe...

    Weather Channel: Locals on the 8's

    No problem, and you're welcome. I'll do anything to break up my work day, including tedious screenshots (and blurring out my email address in Photoshop on all of them). :)

    Weather Channel: Locals on the 8's

    Screenshots I took some screenshots of each screen. I lost one of them along the way somewhere, but this gives you the gist of things.

    Will DirecTV make HD programming "standard" (no extra cost)?

    I don't have as big a problem with the $10 HD Access charge as I do with the Super Fan charges on the various sports packages. The $10 HD Access fee should get you the HD counterpart (if available) for whatever you are paying to receive, such as MLB Extra Innings or NFL Sunday Ticket.

    Searching for blackouted games feature?

    Does anyone know if the Game Search feature will be coming to H21 receivers any time? I have it on my HR21, but H21 just tells me the game is not available in my area and doesn't offer to search.

    Guide Question

    I like to have both visible, so when I want to record a program that's in SD, I record it from the SD channel in order to save hard drive space on my DVR.

    Momentary black screen on ESPN?

    I'd like to piont out that it's not happening on Cox in Southington, CT n'or Comcast in Waterbury, CT. I do see it on DirecTV like the rest of us, though.

    LIN and D* reach agreement

    Sweet, I hope the same goes for Connecticut and our ABC affiliate at least, if not also our MyTV affiliate.

    LIN and D* reach agreement

    I just emailed WTNH and got a real response from their program manager. He said that DirecTV hasn't given them a launch date or timeframe just yet. He will try and get back to me when he gets the info. It would be awesome if it's before the end of the NBA Finals, but then again I hope the...

    LIN and D* reach agreement

    I believe it was a very short time between the time DirecTV signed the deal with Tribune, and the time they turned on our local Tribune owned stations (CW and FOX). Hopefully it will be the same with the LIN stations here in CT.

    DISH Network Charges Forward With Another Round of National HD Channel Launches

    I am not protected by the OTARD rules in my situation. It states that I can put up a dish in an area that I have exclusive use of like a deck or patio, as long as the dish is entirely in my owned area. I don't have such an area. I have a railing 2 inches outside my sliding door, where if I...

    DISH Network Charges Forward With Another Round of National HD Channel Launches

    Hey Scott, Do you know if Comcast Sportsnet New England HD will be a 24/7 feed, or games only? This latest batch of channel launches (especially CSNNE HD) has me considering Dish (since my HOA won't allow me to get DirecTV, only Dish). Also, I thought that NESN HD was games only, am I right...

    Indoor install of slimline?

    The thing is I'm not really dissatisfied with Cox, but rather I like what DirecTV has to offer, like Sunday Ticket, and MLB Extra Innings in HD. Not worth moving for.
