Thanks for the replies. Just got internet up today. So, I plugged my receiver into the wall and got the goods. With Sunday Ticket HD to boot! I was quite happy about that. Here's some additional info: my wall jacks have two coax outputs, along with bundled phone and ethernet jacks. I will...

Hey. I am in need of local HD's. My locals are broadcast from about 45 miles away, so I need to know what the best solution for antennas would be. I cannot mount a behemoth, I am renting, so something small that I could mount perhaps next to the dish on the roof. Thanks!!

Hi. I am moving into a house (finally!) after many years of apartment living. I have called D* and set up a movers package for install, but they can't get me until the 23rd. I will be in by Sunday, and I want my NFL, even if watching my team is depressing :) The house has an existing dish, a...

So here's my dillema. I upgraded to HD in August after being a sub for just a year, and they offered me some deals, one of which was 6 mo's free HD programming. Never have seen that credit. Plus, I have Plus HD DVR and they STILL charge the 5.99 fee DVR fee! Let's not get started with the...

How about "Unwrapped"??? :hungry:

The next one's on my list are Toon HD and Nick HD. I love the shows my kid loves, what can I say?? Very impressed so far. I was curious...why didn't the new channels yesterday show up on the list? Oh wait, I just answered my own question. I was using my custom list, and not the default...

Indeed! But there is!! I didn't see it in the guide, but it comes on after the Jets/Giants on 720. This is according to DIRECTV - NFL SUNDAY TICKET Schedule. Hopefully my HD works this weekend!

Bummer. I love Spike. Even if the shows I like are upconverted they will still look better than my old set

I got a problem. I recorded a game on the HD channel today, and when I got home from work to watch it got a black screen, searching for "authorized content" and then the 721 message. I have Sunday Ticket, with Superfan, and apparently do not get the HD feeds. I tuned to Red Zone prior to work...

Thanks. Yes, I have an HD receiver. And I am aware of the FSN difference when it comes to NFL. The reason I ask is because i stumbled upon these channels that I never "thought" I had before. I never went to those channels, but now I know I get them. Guess I'm really asking is are the...

Hey ya'll. I got a call earlier this week from DirecTV stating I've been such a good customer (all of one year) and they would like to offer me NFL Sunday Ticket at a discounted price. They offered me ST for 145.00 with Superfan included!! So, I see it as 200 off the regular price. I took...

This is the best deal out there. I did it last year as a newbie and worked great. My wife was pleased with the movie channels (all of them!) and I got my football. Just remember to go back to a lower package if you don't want to pay 99.00!! The 5.00 fee is for the EXCLUSIVE HD channels...

I read your rant. Dang. sorry for the headache, I know all about kids and their needed sleep!! I can't believe someone would send out an employee at 10:30. Here is a link to the HD-DVR. I would suggest upgrading to it, regardless if you have an HDTV. You may get one in the future, and it...

Really? I watched this game and it was in HD. Compared to the Ravens game after the difference was night and day!

:what How I feel when reading some of these posts :D Anyway, I thought I'd chime in. I am liking the new channels. They brought in all of my favorites. It is obvious when they are essentially upconverting SD broadcasts, but it hasn't been the case completely. I watched parts of two NFL...
