Just wondering......... Would we not be eligible for the rebates because of the Showtime/Starz package deal? Aren't these things usually a matter of 'not valid with any other offer?'

I don't know if the 101 is editing or toning down the shows. Oz seems to be pretty raw.

Hey, I had an HR22-100 installed a few weeks ago. It moves awfully slow. A lot slower than the HR20-100 I had a few years ago. Any ideas as to why this is so, or how to speed it up? Thanks.

Hey! I am switching from D* to E* today. Installer is on his way. Should he use the cables from my D* dish to connect the E* dish to my tv, or should he run all new lines? Thanks.

I live in Louisville, Ky. According to the web site, my HD locals are available to me. But they were not coming in. I called tech support. They said I had to have a different dish to receive them and I qualified for a free upgrade. That was all that was said. The appointment was for...

No, no sports. It is regular programming. Last night, it was '24' that was the recording. A few days before that, it was one of the 'American Justice' programs on A&E. It is fairly random, not sports and on national channels.

I have the -700 model receiver. Two cables plugged into it. Same problem when I switch the cables around.

Some of my HD channels look great (ESPN, ESPN2, Discovery, Universal, TNT), but the HBO and Showtime channels do not have the quality I would like. I know it is common for some movies to look a little grainy with the conversion to HD, but these two are really bad.

Hey guys, this is my first post! I had Directv installed this week. I have the HR20 receiver with the HD pack. My question is: Is it just me, or does some of the HD channel look grainy or a little fuzzy and some don't. HBO and SHO look grainy, but the others are okay. Anyone have an idea...
