    Alternative to Sirius/XM

    I have had it with Sirius/XM from lousy channel changes to the recent price increase. But I really do enjoy several components of the service. I am wondering if there are alternatives besides local radio. Let me describe what I like and a little about my situation and if anyone can suggest...

    Directv Inauguration Mix Channel

    I am trying to understand why have a Mix channel for the coverage of the Obama coronation? The chosen one can only be in one spot at a time and they are likely to use a pool camera for the shot anyway. Different views of the boring parade or various shots from the different balls? I have been...

    Language Problem

    That is interesting Charper. I know my neighbors and none of them speak spanish as a native language. Plus our houses are fairly far apart as they are half acre and 3/4 acre plots. But that is an interesting problem. Thanks

    H20 Remote Problem

    Just had the H20 installed in my bedroom and I am loving the HD. However, I am having a problem with the remote issued by Directv. My installer set up the remote to my Westinghouse tv and the volume works and the tv shuts off when the remote is in the tv mode. However, the Directv and tv off...

    HDMI or component

    Just had the HD DVR installed on my Samsung DLP and a standard HD box on a Westinghouse tv. The HDMI did not work on the Westinghouse and the installer, who has been in this business for 13 years, stated that they have a lot of problems with the HDMI cables not working. Both HDMI and Component...

    H20 Tips and Tricks?

    I am upgrading to HD this week and my installation is all set for Tuesday. Am getting the HR20 and an H20 in the bedroom. Over in the HD DVR forum I found a wonderful Tips and Tricks guide for the HR20. But I cannot locate one for the H20 model. Maybe folks care less about the plain old HD...

    Record to VCR - DVD?

    I just upgraded to the HD and am getting an HR20. To ensure that I have all of the cables and whatnot I reviewed the online system manual and have a question. Recording to VCR - I assume that you could also record to a recordable DVD player? I find it odd that in this advanced equipment...

    Verizon in Delaware

    psumattDE: I assume that you had your installation by now. How did it go? I live in a development off Foulk road and I called tonight. No service yet in our development but I hope it is soon. Have two HDTVs with a standard signal from Directv. Like Directv but want to try FIOS and get...

    O and A taking over for Roth?

    And another thought. Free radio would never ever broadcast an XM personality that has been censored on the Free radio because the consumer would consider paying for the full uncensored program. Makes no business sense.

    O and A taking over for Roth?

    The rumor makes no sense. Let me make sure I understand. XM (and Sirius) is embarking on a business model that want to bury free radio by offering a compelling radio experience that is supremely better than free radio. In order to do that they are signing up all kinds of exclusive...

    Fiber Optic Investments

    AFOP up again another 7% or so. I am also excited as I live in an unincorporated part of Delaware and our Public Utility Commission will have a hearing on April 11th regarding FIOS. Expect to sail through and will get the service by year end.
