Not to get too OT, but I still can't help wonder that if they had good installs and a solid set top box, then they would have succeeded. It was a good idea, and the guy is to be given credit for coming up with it, but when you turn on the TV and you often can't get a PG or a signal, then the...

yeah, and no risk since the hardware is new, no launch risk, and its already up and running. Quite a deal really.

smallcombe?

Like I said when I cancelled my service and had billing trouble. The CSA's were the nicest bunch of useless people I have ever met. And it wasn't there fault, they weren't allowed to solve anything.

All of this still indicates to me that I need a good OTA no matter who is supplying my HD. At least then I will get some bandwidth for a few shows. Of course, until all the subs eat up the network bandwidth. I'm glad I had HD for a couple years. At least w/the old PBS stuff I know what HD...

It's already compressed.

It's best to go w/the largest antenna you can handle and then add a pre-amp if you need to.

A lot of sets accept 1080i, but my understanding is that they actually procerss 540 to 540p to cheapen the deinterlacing costs.

I went from voom to cable, but cable still does not have many of the OTA channels available and, stupidly I think, they don;t have an OTA tuner on the HD box. They do have an HD PVR rolling out. I have a MyHD 'cause I like to get all of our local OTA content and sub's when available...

i had to go w/lcd 'cause dlp gives me headaches. i luv my panny PT50LC13. the PT50LC14 is the new one

That would fit in Lutz, I actually live on Daiquiri Lane believe it or not.

...is going to assign this "High Priority" (yeah right) and get it fixed right away. What a joke. No offense, really, but I would dump this company like a bad habit 'cause when they do go under with their ~30K subs there going to pre-bill you and you will have no chance in he** of getting it...

here in lutz they are paying people to haul them off

How can you possibly say that the antenna install would be $2000? That's ridiculous. This isnt evolving technology, antennas have been installed like this for decades.

Why did they say you needed 2 poles? guy wires?

My CHannel Master OTA and stealth did well in 60+. So did thhe D* dish. The hurricane coming at us was no big deal, but last night the SW side of the storm was scary as h***. We are now waiting through the tornado warnings. Here comes IVAN

I have the same concern as this poster. I am worried that the HDPVR will not work w/the 5 lnb dish or that they will start to implement MPG4 in the next few months w/no upgrade path. Any ideas?

Well at least I don't have the tree problem, I live on a lake that see's a huge arc unimpeded. My mesh has a hole that is trapezoidal in nature, but only 0.012" in the longest direction. I assume this is OK for Ku?

Their telling us in TPA since the storm is so slow the rain could be >1ft or more. This thing is moving so slow flooding is going to be a problem.

I was talking about D*, is that what you're referring to DVLOS?

we just dodged a bullet here in TPA, so its back into the garage and house goes all the outside stuff. I may take down the OTA for this one. At least we're on the other coast, but cat3 is possible w/cat 2 a given

I had heard there might be a MPG4 rollout?

I'm so grateful for this forum, I may finally get my system up and running.

I was thinking of getting this unit, but I was unsire if it would handle any changes coming in October w/the larger HD rollout.

I sent an email, Mcafee didn't like your address, let me know if here if you don't get it today.
