    Fox News hd May 1st??

    The FOX .... LIVE .... FOX ... LIVE flag thing in the upper-left has gotten a little smaller, that's a good step. When CNN Headline News changed formats to the "scrolling headlines" thing on the bottom, I stopped watching. It used to be my favorite channel for news updates.

    Throttle VOD download ?

    The 2Wire definitely should have QoS. I'd recommend setting the MAC address of your D* box to "Lowest" priority, and you can leave your computers on the default. The idea is the router will give priority (a higher Quality of Service) to the other traffic over your D* box.

    Problem with NBCHD

    It was driving me nuts during Heroes. I couldn't focus on the episode while my girlfriend had no issue with it... until I kept bringing it up. I'm also only noticing it on channel 82.

    Wild Feeds ... Why?

    If I find a place to put a larger dish, I'd love to get into the FTA hobby. Does anyone have or know where to find video captures of some wild feeds? Might be fun for us DBS folks to see.

    HR20 Ratio Setting

    What difference do you notice by using 720p for action programs? Has anyone noticed problems with up/down converting formats, especially on the HR20?

    how good is the service

    DirecTV's SD channels are much better than my local cable co (CableONE) and from what I've seen of DISH. Never seen DISH HD, however.

    RF antenna

    To clarify, you won't be able to record off an RF antenna on a DirecTV DVR besides the HR-20. It'll work with any standard TiVo, however.

    Just "Moved" to fairfield county, to get NY locals and HD feeds

    Yeah, i heard that they don't monitor what # you call in to, but to be on the safe side I *67(block my number),(2 second pause) then do the NY access # (area code 312). I have unlimited long distance and also am pretty confident that this is more than enough to counteract finding my real...

    Just "Moved" to fairfield county, to get NY locals and HD feeds

    Yeah, i'd be interested to know as well. The word that's been spreading is that directv doesn't care. Who? When? Why? How?

    Weird Anomaly

    I'm definitely not an expert but here's my thoughts- Every few seconds or so, your receiver receives a keyframe. It's a completely new frame of video, and then after that, only the changes in the video since that frame are sent. Because of this, the heat wave-like thing is just the variation...

    Active Weather

    Yes, but instead of waiting around longer than we have to, DirecTV should hire another programmer dude to speed things up ;).

    The 6.2 software is coming for the DTV dvr's

    I hear 7.1 is also having lots of bugs, however. And also, I think all of us have DirecTiVos, not stand-alones. I hate this damn anticipation.

    Why Not A Northern Satellite?

    DirecTV's satellites only target north america. I guess with a big enough dish/amplification, you could get a pretty weak signal from Brazil or something. I'm definitely not the expert.

    DSL and TIVO

    I have DSL through Qwest, and DirecTV. That gives me a $5 discount on the bill, and DirecTV goes through Qwest. QwestDSL costs me $40/month for 1.5/800. The service has NEVER gone out in the 7 years I've had it, but the speeds suck. My modem doesn't even connect at 1.5, it connects at about...
