    Problems sending back bad HD receiver!

    Can anyone help me??? I recently had a problem with a Directv HD receiver for which they sent me a replacement with no problem (I pay the extra charge per month for h/w coverage). However, we could not find the mailing label to send back the faulty receiver to DTV that should have been in the...

    DirecTV to add 44 HD local markets (Updated with Launch Schedule)

    Confusing channel guide HD Locals were turned on early yesterday in our market, the Burlington, VT area. However, the resulting channel guide is quite confusing as all channels in the area show up as identical names, i.e., 3 WCAX - 5 WPTZ - 22 WVNY - 44 WFFF all show up twice as names of...

    DirecTV to add 44 HD local markets (Updated with Launch Schedule)

    Wow, what's up with THAT? Channel 3 in Burlington, VT is pretty darn big here, it covers almost the whole state of Vermont and is regarded as pretty much THE CBS facility - and nothing has been done by Direct TV to even file paperwork with them???? There is no other CBS affiliate in this...

    DirecTV 11 Satellite - Tracking & Testing

    Local hds please!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, I'm in the Burlington, VT Plattsburgh, NY area, and I'm hoping they'll use this to put our market on HD locals! I ended up buying an AM21 tuner to get them tied into my HR21 because they don't. Dish TV already has HD locals for this area - hopefully Direct...

    No Signal Strength On Odd Transponders for Sat A(101)

    I believe I'm presently experiencing the same thing - I happened to read this post and swapped the incoming 13V and 18V lines, and the odd numbered transponders from Sat 101 which were showing zero CONTINUED to show zero (didn't swap over). This indicates either the Zinwell multi-switch OR the...

    Curious - Can AM21 be used with two Receivers?

    More out of curiosity than anything else - can you use a USB hub and split the AM21 to work with two HR21 receivers in different rooms? Haha ! Now there's a "can it be done" question.... Richard L.:)

    NESN HD Questions

    I'm in the Burlington, VT market, have the HD package and yes, I get NESN HD on channel 623 without purchasing any sports packages. The Comcast Sports New England channel which has all Boston Celtics games is in SD format on 620, but about half or a third of the time they show their games in HD...

    The Masters Experience on DirecTV

    How? Yeah, you are - manual record from 6:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.? the H21 DVR only allows you to start from up to 5 minutes early to 3 hours late (past the end time). So how do you record manual time at 6:30 P.M, 12 hours after it "starts"? And I'm out of town too? Richard

    HR-21 to ever have OTA?

    Guide software upgrade That tells me too, that will probably mean a software upgrade for the Program guide. Since I have an Onkyo home theater setup, when I want to switch from Direct TV to OTA I have to change inputs on the TV (to antenna) , turn off the Onkyo receiver, turn up the TV...

    HR-21 to ever have OTA?

    Integrated into Guide? Now I wonder if this add-on for the tuner will allow users to have their local OTA channels automatically listed in the program guide! Richard :)
