Just got a message on my HR20 telling me about the convertors as well, so looks like they are pushing hard to make sure people are ready :) I'm guessing that they may do like they do for locals and have the same channel number, at least for the duplicate HD/SD channles. If its a brand new...

Have they announced any tentative date on when more Channels are coming? I got an email survey from them asking me to check my receiver and verify if I had the B-Band convertors hooked up, so I assume they are getting ready some time soon.

The only problems I have had so far I've attributed to the new DVR since It's getting firmware updates almost weekly now, LOL I used to get some audio drop when I first got it regardless of HD Channel. Haven't noticed anything specific to 7, althought he locals do tend to pixilate a bit more...

I am in the chicago area and have the hr20-700 Only local HD's over sat right now are 2,5,7,32

*Edit* Posted inthe wrong category, can a mod move this to Directv HD** I just got my new dish, so now I'm getting locals. I found 2,5,7,32 as the same channel numbers, but was wondering if CW is available. I see it on dtv's website. I know this is whats going to be on 9 now that the WB is...

sorry if this is not the right place, but figured someone may know the answer. I just got the HR20, and this is my first HD source signal, so finally got HD in general. My question is I have a samsung 50" DLP, according to what I read when I got it and all it stated that native resolution is...

This thing is a ton faster than my old HDVR2, the guide is instant. Channel changes are slow if set to native mode im sure this is my tv changing resolution or something though, but works great when in the normal setting and just letting the box output at a consistant resolution. One thing I...

I definatly notice that I am getting a better picture on SD channels then I did with my HDVR2. Although this could be because I had the tivo hooked up through s-video and now I have the HR20 going through HDMI forcing everything at 720p, which is the native resolution for my Samsung DLP.

I just got the HR20, so replaced my hdvr2. I'm going to give the old unit to my dad, but want to erase everything. I did the thumbs and then the to-do's , which is currently in process. It says it may take up to an hour, but its been about 90 minutes so far and the message is still on the...

Got the HR20 from VE when I got home. Hooked it up and called to activate it, works like a champ. For some reason I wasn't getting my normal locals at first, but it corrected itself. And since I currently have the 3lnb even though I didn't have HD before I get all but local HD :) Now I don't...

Just got my HR20 and hooked it up, the HDMI connection works fine. At first power up it didn't seem to be pushing a signal, or at least not one my tv recognized. but hit the res button a couple times and it showed up, now works fine.

This sucks, I just got an hdmi cable in prep for my hr20, I have my current unit hooked up svideo since thats the best on it, don't have any component cables available and hate to waste cash if its going to be fixed, plus one cable is a heck of alot easier than 5

As I type my HR20 is out for delivery from UPS. Dtv can't get me a new dish til next Wednesday, so my question is. Can I swap my current box out for the new unit and activate it and just not get HD until I get the new dish? Or will it simply not work properly or with dtv give me a hassle if I...

Robert, when will we be receiving our emails on the dish upgrade? I want to schedule it up as soon as I can with D*
