I'll believe it when i see it as May 1 was supposed to be the date and that never happend.

I can't stand this either. We came from D* with Tivo, and the Tivo seemed smart enough to know to change the channel when the show was scheduled to start. Apparently this DVR is not that smart. Also, I HATE not having 2 live tuners to switch back and forth to.

Just a heads up, everyone should have the channels by the end of the week, per a Verizon press release this morning: NEW YORK, April 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon, which already offers an abundance of high-definition programming, is adding more, as HGTV HD, Food Network HD and LMN HD...

If they made me pay $800 for anything I would leave to get the better deal, thats just ridiculous. But I understand your point.

I had the same exact conversation with them yesterday. The CSR I talked to said that was a good idea and she had never heard of it before and was going to note the request, but I told her that doesn't really help me right now. The best part is not only do they make you pay for the new...

I do have the choice of going to FiOS...I would never go back to comcast. I have about 7 months to go on a commitment w/D*, so the out of pocket to stay compared to leaving would be a wash. But getting the HD install would start a whole new 2 year period, and that's what has me hung up. If...

Thats exactly what has me on the fence right now, and its the additional 2 year commitment. When I "negoitated" my upgrade to the HR20, I was able to get them down to $99, plus $10/month credit for a year, and four months free of HD content ($9.95/month). So, I guess net-net, I come out ahead...

thats fair enough. for me i'm just about to get D*HD installed on tuesday and was just weighing my options. I guess i just need to stop reading all these internet boards about the PQ comparisons. I've had D* for over 5 years and love the product, never had a problem with them, and is way...

but what if those things are not important? what if the best PQ possible is what you're really looking for? Would you then concern yourself with the comparisons? If all things are equal, what would you do?

Based on what you see on your TV, and what you read about FIOS, would you immediately switch if it were available to you?

You don't use both for TV though? Or if you do, what do you feel gives you the better picture quality?

I know about all those limitations, and the fact that I have placed my order show's I'm willing to stay with D*. To be honest, we have a DVR, 2 DTivo's and 1 R15 on all the TV's we have right now. So we're used to each having its own functionality. The only reason I would even consider...

I already switched to FiOS phone and internet back in Nov/Dec. To alleviate the problem if you lose power, they install a batter backup that kicks on if there is a loss of power. They say its good to give you phone service for up to 8 hours. To me, that was good enough, and we still have...

For me, those extra sports packages D* offers is not what keeps me there. I have season tickets for the NY Jets, so I don't get Sunday Ticket. I'm a huge Mets fan, and pretty much just watch them or whatever national game is on ESPN or TBS. The only other added benefit the D* offers me...

I haven't been hooked up yet. TV comes on Friday, D* install comes on tuesday 4/3. I just checked the Fios web site. For my area, Northern NJ, SNY is not listed in HD, but in the New York area, it is, maybe a phone call is warranted.

As far as I know, SNY is going HD 24/7 come April 1 if it hasn't already. But, I've heard nothing but great things about FIOS. Someone said the PQ on the HD on FIOS compared to what he had on Cablevision was significantly better. I already have FIOS for internet and Phone, but without SNY...

Do you really think so? I have been really thinking about going to Fios now that I have a new HDTV on its way. I have scheduled to have D* come out next tuesday to upgrade my system to HD. But I know a good number of people who have Fios and love it. The only thing for me is that Fios...

I checked these sites out, but have a quick question or 2...What do the ratiings of the cables mean?? "CL2 Rated" and "24AWG"? Also, what exactly is HDMI 1.3? I remember seeing that somewhere but not sure what it was referring to. Thanks.

I like the D* DVR's, I have 2 Tivo based units, and a new D* branded R15, which I also like, except for the lack of 2 live buffers the DTivo has. What are the general reviews for the Verizon DVR? I have seen they have a multiple room viewing option, which is key, as well as access to a home...

That was going to be my next question. I know D* is launching new satellites, and I also read (from them) that they will be offering over 150 HD channels by the end of the year. But are the new channels full HD or still going to be HDlite? And how does Fios broadcast HD? is it full HD? The...

I've had DirecTV for 5 years and have to say I love it. The picture quality was always better than the Comcast signal I used to have. But now I have FIOS internet and phone, and TV has just become available. Is it worth switching over? Is the picture quality that much better? I have 2...

Any idea why they would wait until wednesday, other than the fact the Mets don't play again until then. It is a 24 hour sports station that show programming other than Mets games. Just curious....

Just got off the phone with D* CSR...I asked when this channel will be available..He told me that it will probably be done by the day before opening day, so April 2, which is Sunday. I asked if it could happen sooner, he said it could, but not likely. Also said that it will be placed on...

Do you think the closer they get to the launch date (this Thursday) the more likely a deal will get done or will it be closer to Opening Day (Apr 3)??

I saw a blurb in the NY Post late last week saying that D* and SportsNet NY have reached an agreement. I haven't seen an offical announcement as of yet but I sent an email to D* on Thursday night so stay tuned.....
