    American Idol Picture Quality

    I was noticing it as well, on Fox 5 from Atlanta. I didn't try OTA.

    too good to be true?

    The TiVo HD XL unit has nothing to do with DirecTV. It's TiVo's new standalone HD DVR. The new TiVo/D* cooperation is now old news, but that unit isn't yet available either. The two announcements in that link are about separate products.

    How to "move"?

    When I most recently "moved," my bill continued coming to my billing address, without interruption. Had it gone to my new service address, I would have known. Mobile homes are usually addressed: Name Street # Lot # City, State Zip

    "move" to mobile,al?

    Previously, I "moved" roughly 150 miles from the center of my former DMA, and was still able to receive pristine quality on all channels, including HD. I don't remember what my signal levels were. I'm presently about 100 miles away from the center of my new DMA (still "moved"), and my signals...

    HR 21 won't play recorded show

    Check your signal strengths. When this happened to me, it was because one tuner was getting no signal for some reason. As peallen said, rebooting the receiver fixed it.

    Installers thinking they can do what they want

    ramimac: That was probably the installer covering their own butt, because a landlord would and should seek reimbursement for the repairs from anyone they can, especially for an unauthorized install. However, I've been on the other side of the coin, and I totally agree with what memory said -...

    Birmingham vs. Atlanta

    Query: I live in Columbus, Georgia, approximately 140 miles southeast of Birmingham, Alabama, and about 100 miles southwest of Atlanta, Georgia. When I moved from the Birmingham area to Columbus, I kept my locals (by "moving"). I currently get the B'ham channels just fine, and in HD. Is...

    Replacement of old Hughs SD receiver

    If you've already got the 5-LNB dish, you should have RG6 cable. Grab a flashlight, and take a look at the cable running to the back of the receiver. It may have RG6 (along with some other information) printed on the insulation. If you don't have it, it's not hard, and certainly not...

    Anyone ever "move" then upgrade to HD?

    Update: The install for Friday was canceled, but they came Monday. They installed the new dish and activated the new box (HR-21), all without ever mentioning the old locals I've been getting. When he noticed my old dish, the tech just said "I thought this was a movers..." and then went about...

    Thanks for the advice. I've set up the move, and have an install scheduled for Friday. We'll see how the next "move" goes.

    Anyone ever "move" then upgrade to HD?

    My situation: 3 years ago, I moved (literally) to a city which doesn't get its local channels through the dish, and won't be any time soon. As far as D* knows, my service stayed behind. My new house is still within the old address' spot beam, so I've got the local networks from there, and it's...
