This is true. The HOA can not tell DFWHD that he can not put up an OTA antenna. I live in Allen, about 35 miles N of Dallas. I went to Fry's and bought a $24.95 roof mount antenna. I get every one of the local Dallas stations way up here and they are all clear. By this I mean no breakups. The HD...

OK thanks. I have been away from DirecTV for over 4 years. Since Voom went under I've only had OTA HD and DVD's. I was coming back to D but didn't want to wait for an installer since I can do it all myself. Bob

I am sorry if this has been answered before. I tried the search feature but I was told I had to enter more than 3 words into the search, even though I was. I just moved into a new apt. where the previous tenants left a 3 LNB dish up for HD. I am going to a store today to purchase a new H20 or...

Well I am A Voom droppie. In other words all I've had is OTA HD since Voom ceased operations. No satellite at all since. Just OTA HD and Blockbuster DVD's. I have been sitting back and watching this DTV HD thing for a long time. I want satellite HD again. I told myself that I would give D until...

Does anyone know if the new DVR has a 30 second skip button? In the Best Buy description all that is mentioned is rewind and instant replay. On my Replay unit I can jump forward to get past commercials.

I for one am glad for this forum and for the information here. Years ago before Voom I had D's HD service. And it was terrible back then. Same complaints as I read here now. Since Voom has folded I have just stayed with OTA HD and SD from D. I was thinking of getting back into HD from D but not...

If I want to continue to receive my HD locals over the air like I do now, will I need to put up the new 5lnb dish? I don't want HD locals over the dish. I don't want DirecTV messing with compression on my local channels. Thanks. Bob

I can't answer for the original poster but I did read 71% in the Dallas Morning News this morning. Bob

Amen! Exactly how I feel.

Sean I'm glad to see you here posting about D's PQ. God I miss Voom! Since Voom went boom I've stayed with standard def. I keep reading the forums and just can't get myself to spend the money on a piddly amount of HD. Eventually I'll go with someone. But in the meantime I appreciate your honest...

52 foot? No wonder why it looked like crap.

I notice drop outs on WFAA also. The only other problem I have is with channel 27 which I can't get at all.

Ouch! Hey I know a Steve Dodds in Plano. That's where I am too. You wouldn't be him would you?

It doesn't even apply for Dish Commercial either. My apt. complex is serviced by Dish Commercial and since I have an N facing balcony I can't put a dish up. Not being able to get the offer with Dish Commercial is a ripoff as far as I'm concerned. I'm just going to stay with OTA.

I'm in Plano. I don't have a problem with Fox but I do with channel 5. It comes and goes whenever it pleases. The signal strength is 94. I just toss it up to another Motorola problem.
