    Can't get Jewelry Television out of my guide

    The entry in the guide is all colorful and bright and fairly annoying. It sits between 251 and 252 but when I click it it brings up channel 313. If I go into setup to remove channel 313 from the guide I see that 313 isn't selected. So Directv is apparently forcing it to be in the guide and...

    help with HR20 OTA signal qlitch

    I have one OTA channel that sometimes displays a window that says my HR20 is searching for a signal even though the picture is there with no apparent problems. When I go to the signal strength meter for the OTA antenna this station is 100% on both tuners. Happens quite often but not always...

    Where the heck is Penguins vs Thrashers?

    Venting... I've been waiting 3 days to watch this. The guide gave a date and time for it to show on ch 95 (3/24 1pm eastern). Invite my son over (huge Penguins fan). We settle in, turn on the TV... nothing. Black screen. Called Directv. They say if the arena doesn't sell out they can't...

    does Dish honor network waivers?

    Seems like I read somewhere in these forums that Dish does not offer distant HD feeds regardless of waivers. With Directv I have waivers for and currently receive CBS and FOX out of New York in HD. I'd ask a CSR but I have no faith in any answer they'd give me. Can anyone shed light on this?

    Can a waiver be transfered from Directv to Dish?

    I am a current Directv HD customer. I'm SERIOUSLY thinking about migrating to Dish. I was granted waivers for CBS and FOX so I get those HD stations out of New York. I'm wondering if I make the switch to Dish do I have to go thru all that again or do the waivers apply to either sat service...

    One last Voom statement?

    I was assured by 2 CSRs that one last Voom statement would be sent out. It's worth $200 to new Directv subs. Has anybody gotten their final statement yet?

    How do I scan and keep stations located in different directions?

    Just got an H-10. I receive OTA signals from stations located 180 degrees apart. I scan in one direction and log in all those stations. When I turn the antenna and scan again I get the new stations but loose the ones I already had from the first scan. How do you make the receiver retain the...

    How much does the NFL pack cost?

    The Directv website says they'll post the price when it gets closer to football season. But how much has it cost in the past? Do they show about 5 or 6 games a week? They're claiming all will be in HD. Man that sounds good. Football is awesome in HD!

    Who has the better SD PQ? Dish or Directv?

    Someone in another thread compared Dish's SD picture quality to old streaming video. Lot's of compression "artifacts". That matches my experience from almost a year ago which prompted me to drop Dish and try Voom after I got a 50" TV. On the bigger screen the blockiness was so much more...

    Need expert ideas to solve missing sub-channel problem

    My nearest NBC station is WPMI out of Mobile Ala. Since day one I've gotten signal strength of 80, quality of 98 for that channel. I could watch the NBC HD shows (Leno, Law & Order etc.) in HD. When the olympics started, WPMI began transmitting a sub-channel. It has been carrying the...
