    Attention current NFL ST Subs! - Discounts.

    I called and spoke with the initial CSR, who offered me the Early Bird special of $324, or $53.99/mo. I declined. I called back and went straight to Retentions. Told them I rejoined D* in Jan (had NFL ST back in 2005/2006) because I wanted NFL ST, but didn't realize it had gone up so much...

    Hd W/ Tivo In My Apartment

    I'm moving into an apt next month, and am told my patio faces NE. They also do not allow any permanent mounting of any kind. Assuming I can't get southern exposure with a tripod on my patio, am I SOL? The OTARD rule doesn't look like it prohibits "no drilling" rules.

    Whats D* HD broadcast in?

    What do I want to set my HD settings on, considering my TV does up to 1080i? 1080i, 720p, or auto? I have the HR10, so I don't think I have a native setting. Hoping to get HR20 soon.

    DirecTivo HR10-250 Blowout!

    I was denied the first time I tried too. Ended up cancelling NFL Ticket. I called back immediately, and got a different CSR (girl this time, first one was a guy, and a jerk). She set it all up for me. All I paid was the $20 shipping. My local installer asked how I got it, and took notes so...

    Projection TV blurry using DirecTV

    No, they didn't install an HD receiver. Just a standard DVR receiver. I need to save up $700 for an HD DVR receiver, before the wife will allow that purchase. I'm confident my picture will look much better when I get HD (well, on HD channels anyway).

    Projection TV blurry using DirecTV

    I'm glad I found this thread via Google. I bought a Sony 51" RP HDTV and had Direct TV installed at my home this weekend, and have been disappointed at how bad the picture looks sometimes. Sometimes it's better than others, but even on the best shows, I can see vertical lines in the resolution...
