    CE 's FOR 12/9 WEEKEND

    I download last night as well around 11:15 EST and saw no indications of a problem. It took quite a while (20 mins) but nothing seemed to have hung at any times. When it was finally completed - all I got was a guide info banner at the top and a black screen. No sound or video at any times. I...

    More Audio Sync Issues -- Need Help

    Not sure how old the cable is - might have even been supplied by DTV if I remember correctlty. Worth it to buy a new one and swap out.

    Audio

    With Directv - probably won't notice any difference. However - with a blu-ray source - it is night and day. You cannot push TrueHD Audio over optical - it doesn't have the bandwidth.

    More Audio Sync Issues -- Need Help

    I always have audio sync issues. Quite annoying! Some channels are worse then others. I have no sync issues while watching blu-rays. I also never had issues when I was with Comcrap. I am also using hdmi - never swapped out to test.

    XM Removing Some Channels from DirecTV

    That is correct. You just won't get both. You would either subscribe to the XM Everything or the Sirius Everything package.

    XM Removing Some Channels from DirecTV

    Yes - old news - you are correct. This stuff takes a while to complete. Just as of yesterday - a second democrat voted no for the merger. That leaves the tally at 2 (democrats) to 2(republicans). One final vote will be cast in the next week or so as a tiebreaker. The 5th vote is a...

    XM Removing Some Channels from DirecTV

    I think most of you are missing the boat on the merger. No channels are being removed on the sat side. If you look at the packages being offered - there are sirius and xm packages. Also - there are a la carte and sirius + some xm and vice versa. Again - nothing to do with DTV - just more of...

    How common is rain fade?

    I have never once lost my signal since I got DTV back in September. I always get people coming up to me with the - I don't want DTV because when it rains - you lose tv. Maybe true 10 years ago - but now more of a Comcast way of misleading people. My signals are in the mid to high 90's all...
