    Special Test Channels 9300 and 9301: Tonight!!! 9/22/2007 at 10pm PT

    But should I worry if i haven't gotten anything on 9300 or 9301, 498 is black/grey but I do I have a message on 480 and 481 saying the b conv is working. Last night during the incessant checking back to 9300- I did see the last scene of NBC's Chuck frozen. When i went back later it was a car...

    Special Test Channels 9300 and 9301: Tonight!!! 9/22/2007 at 10pm PT

    In Orlando Florida: No 498 Yes on 480 and 481 9300 had a freeze frame from a commercial for awhile-now 721 message 9301-only a 721 message all night. Did a rest -no change. Is that a bad sign? Just had the new dish and two HD DVRs installed Saturday. Now I'm worried. SRJ

    Pause one channel while watching another?

    We should all be a little more forgiving of Jimbo's crankiness, he's probably still in mourning for his beloved Buckeyes after the two National Championship game dismantlings at the hands of the mighty Gators. I agree with you guys-the lack of dual buffers is a MAJOR step back.. In this...

    Portable/Mobile HD

    Jimbo, I'm really disappointed it's not us Trojans playing you guys next month, but I think you're gonna manhandle them Gators. Good Luck. Yeah the Gators really should fear those Buckeyes. They sure did manhandle Northern Illinois, Cincinnati, Bowling Green, Michigan State, Indiana...

    HR10-250 and Off-Air Antenna

    I have the found the picture quality on both my HR10-250's to be excellent. But the OTA tuner is weak. Can't get the NBC affiliate on the 250 but when I go directly through the tuner on my plasma-I get a signal. The signal strength on all of the channels is much lower on the HR10-250 than...

    Orlando Mpeg-4 Local HD's Are Live

    Living in Orlando and being a longtime D* er I would have thought they would have let me know in some way that the HD locals were going live. The way D* has been promoting the HD locals you would expect they would want everyone in the market to know. If it wasn't for Satelllite Guys-I would...

    HR10-250 OTA Reception

    Sorry for the dumb question-"what is multipath?" I have two HR10-250s. I have a Terk antenna(I know its crap). I split the signal at the antenna and send half about 15 feet to one HR10-250 and half to another HR10-250 that is 100 feet away. The signal travelling 15 feet has been giving me...

    Maybe the best 80 bucks I have ever spent!!

    Got a Toshiba upcovert DVD player at Costco. also found a 2 input HDMI switcher at Best Buy for 129.99. Both work well except for one slight problem. I am using dual RCA plugs to run the audio to my receiver. When I have the HDMI plugged into the DVD player it causes a low hum/buzz in the...

    NBC Response about the Central HD Times Zone Feeds

    Sorry to hear about the Chicago Affiliate not flipping the switch. In Orlando, the NBC affiliate's HD signal is the strongest and most reliable by far. CBS is terrible-weak, fluctuating signal and Fox isn't much better. And they all come from the same antenna farm.

    Prefered Directv customer letter / card?

    Did you move since your original install and use a private installer? If so, they probably treat as a new customer since the new install-that is what happened to me.

    XM vs. MusicChoice: Quality hit?

    Xm sounds much bettre than MC. Also sounds a lot better than my SkyFi 1 does through the receiver.

    National Network HD feeds (Urgent Update):

    Fellow Floridian Longhorn XP Are you saying that until they make an HD DVR available I will be able to keep my HD TIVO since they will not have "upgraded" everyone ? If not, it seems that the DMA's lower on the list have it better since it will be longer before they lose their TIVO. Which...
