    Has FETV Changed?

    Well, that is still an improvement. I went up to the Choice package for a while to get the other "oldie channels" that are available for free in other cities but just can not justify the much added expense especially with the mandatory RSN fee.

    Has FETV Changed?

    I Have not watched FETV for a while but I do not recall the ads being full screen and the picture quality certainly seems better. Has it gone from being a SD channel to HD?

    OTA Recorder

    Many of us would not be on this forum is TV reception was also something of a hobby in addition to a necessity. Myself, I have been interested in it since I was a kid in rural Florida mounting rabbit ears outside my bedroom window. Of course I was excited about ATSC 3.0 and even briefly owned a...

    OTA Recorder

    What about the Zapperbox? It does both ATSC 1.0 and 3.0 if that if available in your area. It requires external storage which can be as simple as an SD card. The price is a bit high but so is a used Tivo with lifetime service. There is a ton of information about this over on the avsforum.

    Family Package?

    The El Paso locals all often pixilate during fast movement. Sadly, I am not surprised. I just turned them off on the web site. That at least saves $12 per month. I may eventually look into an OTA solution. A greater selection of packages would be appreciated by many customers.

    Family Package?

    I know! It is ridiculous that they put the digi-nets in a higher priced package that includes the mandatory RSNs when those channels probably cost DTV little or nothing and can be found in other cities for free OTA. When are we going to see some of the changes promised after the Disney outage...

    Family Package?

    Does the Family Package still include locals for $34.99 a month (plus the $15 receiver fee) as shown on the price increase thread? Is it still possible to get if one calls in (a dreaded experience)? I am still under contract and am on the Select Package with locals. I wish there was a "locals...

    New Construction Attic Antenna Concerns

    I think this post was meant to go under the classified ads section.

    Ford to drop AM radio in new vehicles

    The situation with the loss of KKOB's AM signal in New Mexico is similar to the state of KNX news radio in the Los Angeles area. About a year ago, the 50,000 watt powerhouse on 1070 obtained a full power FM station and began promoting themselves as FM only. At the top of the hour they only...

    Is Direct adding diginets?

    I wish they would move H&I into the 70-99 channel range with the other Digital-nets. I think it could even be mirrored to both locations for a while without wasting band width.

    New DIRECTV Satellite pricing

    I believe it would satisfy many customers if DTV would make the RSN fee optional in the same way that the locals are now. The only sports I am interested in are games at my local universities which are seldom on TV.

    Is Direct adding diginets?

    As suspected, I am not getting Start with the Select Package which is almost indentical to Entertainment except with no ESPN. It seems to me that these digi-nets appeal to an older audience (like myself) and certainly must be lower cost or even Pay-to-Play compared to the major networks...

    Music Choice gone or down?

    It looks like song information is back on.

    Music Choice gone or down?

    Now the non-Ultra channels have no song information.

    CW Affiliation changes in Norfolk and other cities

    Does any member know the specifications for the missing power supplies on eBay for the LLC? I can see in the picture of one on eBay 5V 1A. I would be concerned about whether it was positive or negative center conductor. I have blow things out due to not knowing what I am doing.

    Music Choice gone or down?

    I am glad to hear it is not a permanent problem, Music Choice is part of the reason I went back to DTV. The radio where I live is mostly Spanish. I actually find the "Ultra" versions a bit distracting and repetitive. The channels with just song information is more like turning on the radio.

    Is Direct adding diginets?

    Most likely Start TV will also require the Choice package as well. I moved up to Choice for a while to get H&I and METV but just could not justify paying so much more including the RSN that does not interest me. It is so ironic that these channels are free OTA in most cities but not where I live.

    Disney/ESPN & DIRECTV Reach Deal

    This link worked very well and I easily received a $20 credit. Not bad in that the only channel affected that I regularly watch is FX.

    Disney/ESPN & DIRECTV Reach Deal

    The Disney Channel is still on as of 09/01/24 at 5 AM. I don't get ESPN with the Select Package.

    Nag Screens!

    OK, I entered my wifi password again to reconnect to the internet and found under "signal saver" in the menu the ability to "ask before switching to streaming". The messages to "check for best picture quality" seemed to have stopped for now. Maybe that was just the result of the new software...

    Nag Screens!

    I am getting very tired of a couple of nags screens that only seem to be worse with the latest software and menu update. At the time of installation the technician insisted on connecting the HR-54 to wifi. I had rather not have it on the internet for several reasons. If I wanted internet TV...

    NASA TV ending on August 28

    It is LTE here at home but I have seen the icon for 5G while in other cities.

    NASA TV ending on August 28

    As a compromise, I still have a senior citizen flip phone. I really have no choice as landlines have not been available here for several years. I do sometimes need to take my phone while out around town and especially on vacations. I can text but need to keep it brief due to the nature of...

    End of NASA TV

    I read that NASA TV is coming to an end on August 28th. I have always enjoyed it and believe NASA was one of the first public service channels on satellite TV. Is it likely that DTV will replace NASA with another educational type channel to meet the underlying requirements? I would prefer...

    New Genie Menus Coming in July

    This is one reason I keep the wifi for the Genie DVR disconnected. When a show is over or even almost over, I like to get up and walk out of the room. Netflix and probably other platforms have a setting in the menu to either turn on or off "autoplay".
