    NHL playoffs and no HD?

    I could actually care less, and it is off topic to argue who left who. I actually just wanted to see you rant (which I knew you would). Kind of funny watching someone waste their time arguing if the NHL left ESPN, or ESPN dropped the NHL.

    NHL playoffs and no HD?

    Actually, not really on topic, nor our your facts straight.

    NHL playoffs and no HD?

    I agree and think that they would get more coverage on ESPN. However, don't forget that since the NHL left ESPN, the NBA arrived and has the advantage when it comes to what/when the a program would be available and in HD. Matter of fact, if the NHL went back to ESPN, they could be relegated to...

    My HOA is fining me $100 / day b/c of my DISH! HELP!!!

    If the condition of the neighbor's house was THAT BAD, then it sounds like normal municipality rules shoulda woulda kicked in and helped. And, the people are buying your home, not your neighbor's. It's alway easy to blame someone or something else when reality sets in and you don't get your...

    My HOA is fining me $100 / day b/c of my DISH! HELP!!!

    I don't see how he can decline to sell me a house based on the fact that I am not 55+. If he applied for a job with me, and I refused to hire him because of his age, I'd be in a world of trouble.... That's crazy, what if you were over 55 and you had a kid how moved back in with you after...

    My HOA is fining me $100 / day b/c of my DISH! HELP!!!

    Too many rules and people on power trips for me. For every good HOA, there's a bad one. To each his own. I won't ever allow myself to walk into another situation that will dictate what trees, color doors, flags, dishes, mailbox, etc. If I wanted socialism I would go to Europe/Russia or...

    Help with H20-100

    And the H20 will give false readings on Sat 99&103. While my H20 shows zeros across the board on these, I know that I am aligned properly because my HD locals lit up 2 weeks ago. There have been other threads noting that that H20 has this error, I believe it's software related.

    Sports and HD programming?

    Correct, the H20 is for HD and the HR20 is the DVR version. There was a previous post about ordering sports pack. Being in Seattle area, I am not sure this is a good option, unless you like the ability to watch "The best dam' Sports Show" and "The Sports List" on 37 different channels at...

    DirecTV to Light 8 Add'l HD Markets in April

    They sure are, I will be sure to send you a gold star or medal, whichever you prefer. I think that when you are told something 4 or 5 times and it doesn't happen, it is only natural to be skeptical. I am very happy that you were correct and they came on this morning. You seem to be very on...

    Where the heck is Penguins vs Thrashers?

    ...I had my father travel 5 hours by train back in January for the Hockey Day in Canada telecast, only to have the first 4.5 hours blacked out. D* blacked out the first two hours that were not subject to black out, as evidenced by the comcast and Dish subscribers that watched it. It's sad that...

    Where the heck is Penguins vs Thrashers?

    And that's not always full proof because today I am in one of those markets (the RSN, not DMA) and a CI subscriber and didn't get the game (as noted on the DBS forum).

    DirecTV to Light 8 Add'l HD Markets in April

    CSR's have been telling my April, so this sounds accurate. However, as I posted in dbs... this will be the 5th date since the annoucement last fall for the Harrisburg region. Hopefully its true!

    Directv HD Quality

    You are very wrong. First, the user could have been viewing the forum for years before he made his first post (just like Talk Radio, 98% listen 2% actually call in and talk). It doesn't matter how many posts someone has because if someone doesn't know what they are talking about and posts all...

    Anybody have info re: Ch 95?

    My Ch 95 says "upcoming Penguins at Rangers". Since this game isn't until Monday, my guess is that D* is not using this channel because of the additional bandwidth need for the March Madness HD coverage. Just as the "active' function is disabled until March 19, I think it's all bandwidth related.

    Anyone getting LA/Colorado Game on 95??

    ...black screen, no 721 reference saying channel not purchased. While my idea may not be too far fetched, it is definitely possible. The people at D* don't know the difference between a hockey puck and a pound of chocolate... thinking the Kings were the Sacramento Kings is could happen...

    Anyone getting LA/Colorado Game on 95??

    ...get the game either. I don't believe it was an NHL problem because the standard feed was available via CI. My guess is that the wizards at D* saw the name "Kings" in the display and thought it was Sacramento NBA game and pushed the button to "black out" everyone that wasn't an NBA...

    Harrisburg, PA Locals in HD

    Thought I'd update anyone in the Harrisburg, PA DMA. Just had two D* CSR's tell me that the new date is "Mid-April" for our locals in HD. Of course, one CSR said that they should already be on - I am discounting her response because she later put me on "permanent hold!" Just add Harrisburg...

    TNT-HD All Star Saturday

    Maybe the nets were Tim Hardaway's responsibility... after Stern told him not to come, they put up some cheap nets from Walmart!

    RSN's HD no longer to be spot beamed ?

    ...are already making available outside of a person's DMA/RSN area, just better pq. While I have already thrown in my 2 cents, here are 2 more ~ As D* is by far the way to go for sports fans, why not have the CSR's remotely educated?!? The responses that I have received over the years are...

    RSN's HD no longer to be spot beamed ?

    Your question is a good one. While I cannot give you an answer, I can tell you that there are inconsistencies in what you will sometimes receive and not receive, especially when it comes to the hockey. I posted a thread several weeks ago that I could only get the Penguins feed, not the HD on...

    D* Local HD Harrisburg, PA - screw up

    Thank you very much for your help. When it's in black and white, I understand. However, from a logical standpoint, I can't figure out how that one network slips through the cracks in this instance. Knowing the topography and distances, it is hard to believe that a few miles to the south...

    hdmi problem

    I have the same HDMI problem with my H20 receiver and Samsung LCD. They stated that they could send me a different receiver, but it "has it's own problems that are worse - like overheating!" I think it was an H60 or 600 ~ something like that (I was too busy trying to connect componant cables...

    D* Local HD Harrisburg, PA - screw up

    Thank you for the information. Where on earth did you find this information? The grades are a bit confusing because the NBC affiliate is the furtherest away and it says strong signal. I don't get Fox or NBC OTA at all. What do you mean with requesting a signal test? All I know is that the...
