    BB Tour or the HTC TP2

    I am having a hard time choosing between these two. I currently have an 8330 Curve and I am more than satisfied with it, but I am intrigued with the TP2. But, I don't know how I will "really" like the touch screen in everyday use, which consists mainly of phone, text, and internet use. I played...

    DirecTV 2 PC Version 5628 Software Information

    I finally received a Key from D* last night and I am now up and running this latest beta. Everything is working fine except I notice some blockiness on peaoples faces. I guess blockiness is the right term for what I am seeing, you can tell the picture is just not right. This was on a recording...

    DirecTV2PC Beta Version 5514 Information

    I went back and tried this again yesterday. I went through all the d/l's and I still have not received a serial #. I have checked and it is not being blocked by my ISP spam filter either. Maybe my 100.00 per month I give D* is not enough to "qualify" for the Beta program. (And yes, I know that...

    DirecTV2PC Beta Version 5514 Information

    How long does it take to get a serial number back from Directv? I applied last night and still nothing. I ran a hard wire to my home theatre for my PS3 and decided to take advantage of it and also hooked it to my sat receiver. I figure I amy as well play with this now but I can't install without...

    DirecTV HR-DVR Code

    You will have a tough time with the Yamaha amp and the DTV remote. While you may be able to turn the amp on you will not be able to turn it off. Yamaha uses two buttons for on/off not just one button. I know I finally gave up and just use both of the remotes, although i at least can control the...

    What are these channels?

    No, can't get any picture, just the "not subscribed" message. I figured that was it but they are not listed in the Showtime lineup on DirecTV site.

    What are these channels?

    In my guide I can see SHO3HD and EXTRHD. They seem to be part of a package but I cannot find any info on them on the Directv site. I searched this forum and found nothing about them either. I don't subscribe to any of the Premium movie packages but I still see these 2 in my "what I can get" list.

    One more day to go

    Looks like 4 channels of nothing to me. I don't watch any of them.

    Sports Packages

    Wekk DUH:eek: I didn't notice that above as I don't pay attention to stuff like MLB-EI. Thanks for pointing that out :D

    Sports Packages

    I was browsing around up in the Sports channels and I was surprised to see that I could get every baseball game that was being shown, on all the regional networks. I thought I would only be able to see Fox MW and Fox KC since my Service address is in KC. I double-checked my account info and I am...

    wireless ethernet adapter

    I have it figured out now and will post to say what my problem was. After hours of research today, I started seeing comments on how this adapter, even though it has all the options to do WPA, will not work when in that mode. So I came home and setup a second SSID using WEP, reset the adapter to...

    wireless ethernet adapter

    OK, I am having another go at getting this to work. I have since switched to a new Linksys router to see if it would work any better, which it does not. I have all the wireless security settings set to match. I have also set a static IP on the router to 192.168.1.250 with the MAC address of the...

    Spotbeam question

    This is no different than E*. I may just give this a shot and see if it works.

    Spotbeam question

    I was looking at a spotbeam coverage map for the satellite at 101 that carries the Kansas City locals. I am considering a "move" to KC from my current location in order to get the HD locals from KC. I currently get them from E* this way but I really want to drop E* altogether. I have kept them...

    Lego Indiana Jones

    Gamestop is running a promo where if you prebuy you get a T-shirt. Not bad looking and it has a code on it to unlock a special character. I played a bunch of Star Wars over the weekend as i had to help my Grandsons get by a lot of places but they are almost through the 4th episode. Not bad for 4...

    Lego Indiana Jones

    I will, for the 360. And Lego Batman, also. I think Star Wars is a blast to play co-op and so do my Grandsons (5 and down) when they come over. The 5 year old is a huge Lego Batman fan and has all the Lego models. He will be in Lego-Heaven. I look forward to Indiana Jones more as it is supposed...

    The only thing holding me to *E is...

    Waiting for my DNS waiver's at D*. I have both at the moment and when I get my waivers I will drop the E* HD only pack. It is worth the switch to me for SpeedHD.

    Hope for SPEED HD freaks

    I would bet that very few sports bars have Dish. Direct has the Sports thing covered.

    HR-21 question, turn off or leave on

    Thanks, that is what I thought but wanted to make sure.

    HR-21 question, turn off or leave on

    Coming from an E* 622, which never turns off, what is the answer? Will the HR-21 miss a timer event if it is turned off?

    How Long Have You Had HD With Dish?

    Since late summer of 2003 with a 6000U, then an 811 on it's release and hen the 622 on it's release. I now have the HD only pack with E* and an HR-21 with D* for all other programming.

    wireless ethernet adapter

    Only settings in the adapter setup I have found are SSID, Security (WAP, WEP, etc), Encryption (TKIP, AES), and DHCP or Assigned IP. I have set these to match the router and the router for some reason does not assign an IP address to the adapter.

    wireless ethernet adapter

    Wireless router is a Netgear 54G. Security is setup as WAP & WAP2 so it will recognize both TKIP and AES encryption, DHCP is enabled. When setting up the Linksys you only get options to set the SSID, the security scheme and encryption, and DHCP or Static IP. I set the adapter to WAP with TKIP...

    wireless ethernet adapter

    I found the WGA54G on Ebay nib for 49.95. Now if I could only get it to work I would be a happy camper. I hate wireless networking stuff.
