    Star Wars Saga on CinemaxHD - Any Chance on D*?

    CinemaxHD will be showing the complete Star Wars saga in HD this weekend. Guess there is no chance of D* adding CinemaxHD for this special, huh? Here is part of the press release. Cinemax and Cinemax HD kick off a weekend marathon of all six movies on Friday, November 10 at midnight with Star...

    Audio/Video Breakups on ESPN2HD

    Anyone else experiencing audio/video breakups? The audio breakups are worse then the video but both are there. I am watching via my TiVo HD running software 3.1. No breakups on any other channels, also all the HD pictures look worse then usual tonight. Thanks.

    Dish Adds Another HD Channel - Food Network

    Just read on HDBeat.com that Dish added the Food Network HD to its lineup. I am a pretty loyal D* guy but seeing all these HD channels going live on Dish is really starting to make me think. How is Dish able to add all these channels and D* doesn't have the room (this is a serious question...

    Dish Adds More HD - Full Time NFL Channel HD

    Reported on HD Beat at http://www.hdbeat.com/2006/06/26/dish-and-nfl-network-make-a-deal/ Wow, Dish looks pretty good now. Maybe enough to drop ST. Might pay for the cancellation fee. Sorry if this was covered elsewhere. Didn't see it.

    Dumb Question re HD Locals

    From what I can gather, Orlando HD Locals are supposed to go live this month. My question is how do I tell when they do? I currently am running an OTA antenna for HD locals that use the 2.1, 6.1, etc. channels. Do the D* supplied HD locals use the same numbers? I want to take down my antennas...

    Where the Heck Is HD Hockey?

    Why can't D* show some of the OLN HD broadcasts? Is there some kind of contractual limitation or is there another reason?

    Orlando HD Locals and New Dish Size

    I am getting ready to move - next couple of weeks - and it appears from the DMA lists that have been posted that Orlando is in the next wave of cities to get HD locals. If that is the case, I would be getting the new dish, correct? Well, I think I saw one of them yesterday in person and that...

    Where's the HD Hockey??!!

    Other than the occasional HDNet game, which is generally a Mid-West or Western team, there has hardly been any hockey in HD even though most of the local carriers of the games broadcast in HD, like MSG and NESN. I sure hope they ramp it up for the playoffs. This is where the loss of ESPN as...

    [BRIGHT HOUSE] Any New Central Florida BHN HD Channels Soon?

    Here in Central Florida, BHN has been promising the addition of 2-3 new HD channels. Initially it was rumored that the announcement would be in December, then it would be in February. Now that February has come and gone there has been no announcement. I am moving in a month and if BHN would...

    Winegard SS-3000 Sharp Shooter 3000

    There was a thread on this last year but when I tried to post, I was informed by the board it was too old. Anyway, has anyone tried this indoor antenna and if so, does it do the job as advertised? If it works, for me, the $75 is worth it. Thanks for any reviews.

    HD PPV Going Away?

    I noticed that on channel 99, the last movie for a while will be shown on Saturday at 2:30pm. After that CD USA will be shown on that channel. They finally get a first run movie, The Island, and the movies are going away. Anyone know if D* will start HD PPV on another channel when channel 99...

    No Signal on Line 1 or 2 Message Won't go Away

    Whenever I have a problem with my signal (rain fade, etc.), I get a message banner that pops up and says something like no signal on line one or two. Problem is that it won't go away, even when I tune to an OTA channel that I get just fine. Is there a way to turn this message off or to set...

    Can Hockey on OLN look...

    and sound any worse? It is awful. Really miss ESPN's coverage. At least with ESPN2HD we would have had a number of games in HD in addition to the few and far between HDNet games. Oh well.

    HD Hockey tonight??

    Sunsportstv.com says the Lightning game will be on D* channel 95. Did not see it on the D* program guide. Can anyone confirm that the Lightning game will be on tonight? Guess it kinda sucks that ESPN dropped them as there would have been a lot of HD hockey on this year. OLN is a pretty...

    ESPN HD Blacking Out Periodically - Anyone Else Experiencing This

    The picture will go blank every so often for about a second then come back on. It is happening fairly consistently. Is anyone experiencing this? I am using the HD Tivo. Thanks for any input.

    Season Pass and HD Channels

    Sorry if this has been asked and answered but I searched and did not find an answer. I am new to the DVR world - just got the HD DVR from D* in the new special offer. When I set up a season pass, will the TiVO automatically look for the show in HD or do I have to set it up through the HD...

    Looks Like VOOM is Dead - So Come On D*

    Over on the VOOM forum they are reporting what appears to be the final demise of VOOM (shut down on April 30, 2005). Now there is really no other place to go for HD. I was going to consider it if VOOM found new financing but now it looks like us D* subs are stuck with what D* has. It's time...

    Article by P. Swann re D* and HD Channels

    Don't know if I am allowed to post this, but if not I guess the guys will delete it. Swann wrote an article that D* won't have any new HD channels until late summer or early fall, including ESPN 2HD. Hope he is wrong about no channels at all but it does make sense. Here is the link and article...

    Anyone else think these press releases are bad news?

    I mean if I am reading this stuff correctly, we are not going to see any new national HD channels until the end of this year or 2007? I understand the concept of adding the local HD channels but for those of us lucky enough to get the local HD channels OTA without problem, that means another...

    Status of Additional Movie HD Channels

    Any Word on Status of Additional Movie HD Channels? Now that D* has added Brave HD and some foot all games in HD, do we have to wait to the end of football season to get any HD movie channels like Starz, MAX, etc. These 3-4 channels would make me very happy and satisfy my HD need for a while...

    Central Florida Viewers - WKMG Waiver???

    On a local AVS forum, a local member says he received a waiver for the CBS HD feeds from the local CBS station, WKMG. He says he was told by D* that this was a blanket waiver for the entire Central Florida market (WKMG is not an O&O station). I have called D* on 2 occassions and they say they...

    Any Rumors on HD Additions?

    Curious if anyone has heard any rumors on D* adding any HD channels? Local cable company, Brighthouse has just announced TNT-HD will be added to the lineup on Friday. I know D* just launched the new bird but would be nice if they announced something so we had something to look forward to. Thanks.
