THX Rad, going thru my guide it seems most my OTA is now digital anyhow. Might lose one or two stations that haven't caught up yet. Agreed NTSC is dying a slow death thanks to Washington. Charper, the tuner in the TV wouldn't intergrate the channels into the guide though would it. That...

A question for you folks with the H20....is the OTA tuner digital (ATSC) only. No analog (NTSC)? I know NTSC is dying off but seems early to omit it as a tuner. Can anyone verify this before I make a purchase. Thx. :)

Thx, but can't help but think that's a very poor policy. Hey I've been a sub for 8 years or so. If my HD unit quits and I wanna replace it myself with a used one to continue being a sub why force this commitment? The only effort required on D* part is answering the phone call I make to...

Did D* require you to make the 2 year commitment? I'm finding conflicting reports about the commitment requirements for equipment swaps. I understand why they would like a commitment if you upgrade thru D* but not if you purchase used. I'ld like to purchase a used unit like you have and swap...

They're just as bad at nite !!! :p

Go into the new DVR setup menu and check the settings. Maybe the output setting (1080, 720, ect) isn't correct.

I've been leaning towards this scenario also....D* will swap your equipment provided you sign the 2 yr commitment. If your commitment has expired and you want to stay month to month then it'll cost ya. The $250-299 is the first number I've seen mentioned so far. As Charper says....wait n see...

Almost all automated phone systems can be bypassed by pressing 0. Sometimes pressing it repeatedly is needed but that should always get you a live person. :)

Outta luck.....FX is SD :no

Almost Dragon-ish. ;) :yes ;)

There are many posts of people using component output with very little to NO difference in PQ. Why not give it a view? As you point out, you have 30 days to evaluate. If the PQ is acceptable, great and you still switch back when a fix is available. Just my 2 cents.

Sony/Zenith/LG are all top notch, and basically the same units (made by LG). Talk to Robert. He did have some refurbs at one time.

I second that!!! Totally unacceptable. :eek: Call D* and complain. Have this fixed and tell them some programming credit for your inconvenience is in order. :yes

If you take them up on one of their promotional deals (HD upgrade / Tivo upgrade) that you purchase thru them, then a 1 year commitment is required. A new 1 year term from the date you install/activate the new equipment. If you buy used and swap out on your own I believe you can refuse when they...

Thankx for the link. That answered some questions. I'm wondering now about the equipment upgrades. Will you need to be a sub of the HD pak or your locals to get the upgraded HD STB and Dish? I have a HD STB but don't sub to either. Will the fact that I have one be enuff for the exchange? My OTA...
