    MLB Update: Atlanta Braves TV for DirecTV 2008

    727 message here in metro Atlanta. Only HD option locally is OTA. Why is the HD feed available everywhere but here, especially since we can get the SD feed via D*?

    Please remind me. Who won the national championship(s) this year, and over whom? Chomp.

    DIRECTV Getting Sued over HD Lite

    The irony of your bolded statements is so rich. Look, we're apparently just going to have to agree to disagree. I'm not seeking an argument, just an informed discussion. If you want to keep your fingers in your ears while shouting "LA LA LA," that's your prerogative. I've done nothing...

    DIRECTV Getting Sued over HD Lite

    To clarify any of the confusion about what the plaintiffs are actually claiming in this suit, here's an excerpt from the complaint, posted over at avsforum.com DIRECTV Sued Over HDTV Picture Quality - AVS Forum

    DIRECTV Getting Sued over HD Lite

    Some of you people are really amazing. Yes, I'm a lawyer, but no, I'm not making my living in the civil justice field. If the plaintiffs in this suit win and D* is hit with a money verdict, D* only has itself to blame. You shouldn't feel sorry for the megacorporation. They could give two...

    DIRECTV Getting Sued over HD Lite

    Thanks. I really don't care who wins the suit, to tell the truth. All I'm hoping for here is an honest discussion, without all of the garbage political talking points on both sides. This shouldn't be a political discussion about the civil justice system in general. It should be about the...

    DIRECTV Getting Sued over HD Lite

    Reading comments like this really frustrates me, because it's based on complete ignorance of the civil justice system. The people clamoring for tort reform don't even appreciate how badly they're being used as pawns. Oh, tort reform is a good idea, until it's you that gets hurt. Besides, it's...

    DIRECTV Getting Sued over HD Lite

    I'm not sure how much of a precedent the lawsuit against D* would be. As I understand it, the plaintiff cited among other things statements in receiver user manuals that state that HD is 1920x1080. I know my old HTL-HD manual has that information in it. The core of this case is that D*...

    I don't know how to separate individual quotes. I hope you were able to follow my responses.

    DIRECTV Getting Sued over HD Lite

    OK, lawyer here, and I can't let these comments mislead this discussion. Respectfully, you couldn't be more wrong on just about every point. The plaintiff here only has to prove that D* promised a certain level of PQ at the time he signed his commitment and D* then knowingly failed to meet...

    CDN in Atlanta needs your advice

    Does anyone know a local installer that could put up a SC dish if I ordered one? I don't trust myself to be able to do it.

    Are there instructions online for 5LNB mouting instructions?

    My installer did not use any support monopoles on my roof mount (which has a pretty significant pitch). Did he do it wrong? When I asked him if they were needed, he said no. This .pdf seems to contradict him on page 7. I know that when my parents had an AT-9 installed on their house, which...

    Are *PRESEASON* NHL games blacked out on Sports Pack?

    My question is simple enough. Preseason TV coverage of the NHL on a few of the RSNs begins tomorrow with a couple of games. Do blackout rules apply to those games? (Just so I'm clear, I'm *not* talking about regular season games, which I know are blacked out on Sports Pack unless you...

    Atlanta - HR20 direct from DTV?

    I called this morning and was able to get an install date of 9/21. Finally.

    Atlanta - HR20 direct from DTV?

    I'm in the same boat as everyone else. D* says it's not yet available to me either. My most recent call was this morning.

    New HD-DVR comes out (post what YOU were told)

    Oh, go bugger off. Just because I don't post often doesn't mean I'm a newbie. I've been lurking here for nearly two years and know damn well what the current status of the HR20 is. "Fall." Duh. Besides, maybe you should practice reading comprehension. Read my original post again. I never...

    New HD-DVR comes out (post what YOU were told)

    I think we need a master thread where people can post release dates they were told by CSR's for the new HR20. Of course, I already know that what a CSR says means nothing, so a side-by-side comparison might be humorous if nothing else. Yesterday, a CSR in Retention told me September 1.

    Where the Heck Is HD Hockey?

    This thread is meaningless without a comparison of the ratings of the shows going head to head with NBC hockey on a weekend afternoon.

    Baby channel

    I have an 18-month-old son and Noggin (298) works just fine, thank you very much. I don't want him watching any more TV than he already does.

    I-Independent Television off D*

    Boo. The "i" affiliate in Atlanta carries quite a few Atlanta Thrashers games. Now I have no way other than an antenna to get the games. This blanket, across-the-board decision stinks.

    Any Plans for TBSHD on D*?

    WTBS OTA is SD, with the sole exception of Braves games. There was a big story recently about the Braves' TV coverage for this season. They're showing much fewer games on TBS (in fact, the fewest ever), instead carrying more on Turner South. So, unless you are a Comcast or Charter subscriber...

    Locals with sub Channels

    There's no reason *not* to switch to D*. Even the MPEG4 receivers will have OTA capabilities, so you won't be missing anything by upgrading.

    NHL Center Ice

    Maybe there's a communication gap here, but if you don't live in the home region that receives FSD as your primary RSN, you won't see the Red Wings or any other out-of-market game, regardless of whether the game is sold out. NHLCI is the subscription service that allows you to see all...

    NHL Center Ice

    So, if you've been an NHLCI customer, do you need to actually add the subscription again to your account, or will it show up automatically at the renewal price? My current programming descriptions lists the 2004-05 season with no payment due, with no mention of the 2005-06 season. But I do see...
