this is unacceptable. i just came home and turned the game on... i'm about to throw up! YUCK! SD is the ONLY WAY that the Indians can look ugly!

ok if i swap them to hd would i then lose the sd versions because i want those to be viewable on the downstairs tv.

ok i just talked to a rep and she said she couldnt add anything since they're not supposed to in our area. i told her that we already have some (the ones in SD) and she didn't know why we had them. i do remember a long time ago, they wouldnt give them to us but eventually they did so i guess it...

those channels are local east and west out of NY and LA. they are not a part of a program package; we pay 2.99/mo. for each of them. i checked the availability of local channels on the above link and it said that they don't offer them in our area. the receiver downstairs is very old but i get...

hi guys, i just added an hd sat. receiver and all the hd works fine. we do have local channels, 380-388 but of course those ones are sd. the hd ones i don't get them. so am i supposed to get those or is Direct tv going to charge extra for the hd locals? keep in mind that i would like to keep...

ok guys how about this: i have a small wooden shed about 8 foot high behind our house that we keep trash and tools in. it's very small. and i think it has a clear view of the SOUTHERN SKY, depending on the angle. the neighbor's house is small and i really don't think there's an obstruction. i...

yeah its a single family house i had a kind of attitude with the CSR but in the end i let her know that i was just trying to get my way and realized that she probably could not have really helped me, then thanked her. anyways, can i try and deal with the install company because in reality, it's...

hi guys, i have a situation: i have a standard D* receiver already and am wanting to add an HD receiver. so i get everything set up to add the HD receiver which of course requires a new satellite dish, and when the install guy shows up, he informs me that the new dish MUST be installed on the...
