I'm comparing Mobile OTA to Directv (CBS football Fl vs Tenn) and cannot see any difference. Neither is perfect but the satellite at least matches OTA. I'm so happy that I will now get Fox 10 NFL football in HD. I'm no longer limited to the NY stations I have been getting. I wonder though...

The entry in the guide is all colorful and bright and fairly annoying. It sits between 251 and 252 but when I click it it brings up channel 313. If I go into setup to remove channel 313 from the guide I see that 313 isn't selected. So Directv is apparently forcing it to be in the guide and...

Hmm... with my DSL that should download in about 2 days! I just need to plan ahead! :p

It's been my experience that the guys who come out are eager to swap out components. I had an LNB that was intermittent. It wasn't acting up (I was getting all channels) when he came out but he did a swap anyway based on the fact I had called in multiple times when it was screwing up, going...

Seems like that might explain why some stations in a given market are not carried by Directv but not why an entire market is passed over. Unless maybe most of the big 4 stations (NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX) are holding out.

So actually they are not going in order. :p Why is it that they choose some lesser market over a higher ranking market? Why not just take them in order?

Man you guys are making me jealous! I guess Salt Lake City doesn't baffle me too much, what with the flat terrain (please don't tell me there's a mountain in between!) and maybe the tower's up on a hill. But SE Mississippi? I'm in the Fla panhandle. We're practically neighbors. The terrain...

Holy cow!! Those must be some incredibly powerful stations. I've done a bit of experimentation where I live and 60 miles is about my limit. And I'm in fairly open terrain with the highest gain UHF antenna I could find on the web. I've pulled in a few stations beyond that but it only happens...

Pity the folks who don't frequent any forums. My, you're easily amused! :) Vurbano, I've been a closet fan of yours for some time. You don't mince words. If you're liking it I know I will too.

I guess I've just been in the dark. I didn't know these were turned on in HD. My "favorites" has them in SD. So I just now went and added CNNHD and TWCHD to my favorites. Yea verily CNNHD has HD pillar bars so I can believe it's HD at least part of the time. But TWCHD is 4:3. Do they go...

CNNHD TWCHD SmithsonianHD DiscoveryHD How are you guys seeing these in HD?

Oft debated/discussed. Many say it varies with TV model/size but can be made to look equal if you work the TV settings. Many say HDMI looks better. I think some say they like the look with the component cables. Almost all say try both and use whichever looks best to you. The cables aren't...

Gotta be a good thing!. Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy!

:up Though I think the best F1 puts out is some less-than-full-HD widescreen. But CBS (or some other major network) carried a race in that format and it looked good (relative term). Baby steps! We'll get there someday.

Can somebody provide the links!? :D
