I recently upgraded to the SA 8300 HD DVR through Brighthouse. All of the channels through BH in my area are now digital. I had the SA 3100 HD and the PQ was great. So far, I'm completely disappointed with the picture quality of the 8300. Since the upgrade, the local channels look blurry, or...

Does this mean that auto. renewals will be given the price of $209 when they start to bill for this? I noticed in D* email that the payments were in increments of 5 instead of 4 in previous years to make the rate look similar to last year. Nice marketing ploy!!! Also, I've heard different...

What about automatic renewal? It clearly states this on the website that prior subs are automatically renewed at the lowest rate. So, IMO if you had it last year or subsequent years leading up to this season you should qualify for the lowest price. Anyone have info on this?? My auto. renewal...

Does anyone know what this base package (9.99) consist of? I see it under their International services, yet there is no mention of what it is. I understand if you wanted an international channel, such as Hype TV you'd have to subscribe to this basic $9.99 programming + the cost of Hype TV. If...

Actually, BH in my area (Central Florida) just went all digital.

I guess some of you are so desperate for TNT HD you'd pay anything. I was just looking to see why one provider charged and another one didn't. I wasn't sure if standard channels, like TNT would be a channel you could legally charge consumers for. Refer to a previous post above about the NFL...

you are missing the point of my post. I know its not free, however I do not pay an additional charge to receive it unlike D* customers.

I realize the greed side of it. Is this a channel they can charge for? They don't charge for locals in HD why TNT. Why would a cable company give it away for free instead of adding it to there HD pack?

Can anyone answer this question? For example, I have Brighthouse cable and I receive my locals(HD) in addition to TNT HD at no extra cost. Why did D* add this channel to there HD pack? So, in order for D* customers to get TNT HD you have to order there HD sub for $10.99, soon to be $9.99...

Yes, I have the para todos sub w/out locals for 26.99 a month, around 30 and change w/ taxes. I have BH as my main sub, keep D* for Sunday Ticket. I suspend my account in the off-season (NFL) and activate it in August when it starts back up.

I agree with Universal HD. My second guess would be ESPN 2. I really do not see any other channels being offered except those. Whatever the two new additions are they will probably be included in the HD pack, possibly with a price increase from $6 per month.

IMO, the cost of the NHL Center Ice this year should be free. Yes, I know what you're thinking. However, the NHL needs fan support not vice versa. Why not offer the package this year for free to attract fans back, or anyone who currently has a subscription to a sports package (Sunday...

Thanks for the help..............

True about the hills, none.........Any specific antenna suitable for this you can recommend? In addition, what would the difference be if I had an indoor antenna vs an attic mounted ant.? Forgive my lack of knowledge, but I don't understand the difference b/tw a room in my house vs a few feet up...

thanks mdonnelly..........so what would my options be?
