    Tyler TX- Longview get HD locals

    Are you kidding me? Of all the cities out there that rank higher than them on DMA. Ridiculous.

    DirecTV wont install because of tree?

    I realize you're upset because you have a brand new HDTV and can't get D*TV, but complaining like that is a little childish and short-sighted. You say there's "plenty of places to put up a satellite", and since you are clearly upset, why didn't you ask him about those other places while the...

    2 defective HR 20-100s in 5 days?

    I've run through 4 HR20-700s in the last 7 months....so it doesn't surprise me that you're having issues. My issues were all different, but it makes me think that their "refurbed" boxes are not that dependable.

    Are the HR20/HR21 DVRs the only DVRs compatible with DirecTV HD?

    HR20...so-so Although I DO like DirecTV, I'd have to disagree with you on the HR20. I've personally had quite a few various issues. Yes, they are always working to make it better, but it isn't anything to be that impressed with. And no i'm not a Tivo-head, nor an old Dish customer, just telling...

    DirecTV announces new local H/D DMA's(Local HD Programming In 76 Markets by Mid-2008)

    Colorado Springs? Do any of you guys know anything about Colorado Springs? It's 93 on the DMA rankings. I've heard it's just a matter of paper work. Anything?

    ON-DEMAND and FEAR-NET

    Don't quote me, but i'm not sure you're able to have On-Demand from D*TV with a phone line...and even if you could, downloading shows through a phone line would be horribly slow, you wouldn't want to do it. I know you can have On-Demand with an internet connection with an HR-20 HD-DVR (and...

    Upgraded to 50"- HD looks Softer

    Yes, tv brands can differ, but basically you will ALWAYS notice a difference when you go larger. Smaller screen, smaller pixels and the more tightly packed they are, resulting in more crisp pictures...Larger screen, larger pixels and you figure out the rest. That's the way it works as long as...

    I got an HR21 for free

    Thanks from all of us! You'll be one of the test bunnies. Hopefully you can find all the bugs in it so they can fix them. Those HR21's are a mess.

    Hr21

    I just had a D* technician over working on something unrelated, and he was saying the HR21 is having A LOT of issues right now, it's giving him headaches. He definitely suggested not getting one yet. Still never ceases to amaze me how you can push out a product that has so many issues. Just bad...

    D11 Launch?

    Locals market list? Is there such a "list" for HD Local Markets or are you just assuming? If there's a list, do you/anyone know when Colorado Springs is supposed to get them, or where it is on the list? Thanks

    Lipsync Problems on Weather Channel HD

    The 'lipsynching' effect isn't uncommon. If you look around at the other channels closely, you'll notice some others. Part of it has to do with the transfer speeds of the various cables you have connected into your audio/visual system. Best thing to do is get a receiver that has an adjustment...

    Can someone point out when HD locals

    Why OTA and D* locals? Hi, I'm curious, why do you recommend having OTA even if D* has you local channels in HD? I'm in the same boat as the main poster...live in Colo Spgs and am DYING for them to get on the ball with our local HD channels.
