i've read and read to find an answer before making the thread even longer. Got the update 2 nights ago, love the look and feel, but missing some features, like "you might also like" and My Directv. Does it take a while to fully load?

I'm not technically inclined, nor do I understand HD technology, so bear with me please. I just bought a Sharp Aquos LC-52D64U, a 1080p LCD. Connected to HD box via HDMI cable. In settings for Direct TV, TV Type, there is no option for 1080p, it's 1080i. When I initially set up the tv, the...

I'm insanely confused. I signed up for Directtv in September. At the time I requested HD+DVR package, and as a new customer I also got all movie channels free for 3 months. The price quoted was $49.99 per month after a $10 credit each month for 12 months. The sales guy then said I could...

I don't have a clue what PQ is or what any of the rest of the tech talk is but it's interesting and I'm learning a lot. I'm just a consumer. I signed up for Direct TV specifically for the promised land of HD and because Dish didn't carry my locals in HD, and I'm pretty happy today. Love CNN in...

eh, what was the question again? :confused:

Never mind about previous question, I found the answer on another thread. Told you this place is great! So, now I can vote cuz i'm ready!

I just got installed 2 days ago. So I think I have the 5-LNB dish and I know I have the H20, but what's a B-band converter? By the way, I am having a great time on the forums learning about things. Great tips and answers to questions I have. Nice group of knowledgable folks.

Well, first off, I'm not a knucklehead. I think I was pretty patient, and as I said, I even cooked dinner for the guy because I could see he had a rough day. As to not properly setting up the DVR, if you don't get paid to run the second line so you don't feel like doing it, at least tell the...

Stuff happens I switched to Directtv from that other place, for several reasons, all having to do with that other's places ala carte charges that are included with Directtv, plus no local HD in Austin with the other place. What could have been a horrid installation turned out ok because I...
