    HR20 - Release in August (LA to be the first)

    Well kids, here are some germaine facts concerning my person: 1. Have had Directv for about 10 years. 2. Have had the H20 since mid April. 3. Have been into HD since late 2001, I think. Super Bowl 2002 at the latest. 5. Have 5 HD TV's including my coup de grace, a Sony WEGA SXRD 1080p set...

    New HD-DVR comes out (post what YOU were told)

    I was told today that it is going to be Fall '06. Then she said possibly in September. Doesn't matter to me as I am having Time Warner installed on the 31st of July and giving Directv the boot. I can get digital cable TV, Road Runner and digital phone and FOUR HD DVR's for 40 dollars less per...

    Dish adding 4 national hd channels

    Directv will respond. It may take a month or so, but you watch, they will throw us a bone to keep us from leaving...probably HGTV-HD.

    East/West coast feeds in HD?

    I have the mpeg4 HD locals. I have not and will not lose my HD DNS feeds. I have four current and active waivers....

    HD Locals In Columbus, OH

    I did a comparison yesterday between NBC Columbus and NBC New York during the afternoon hockey game and there was no contest. NBC Columus was bright, sharp, crisp and clean while the NY feed (channel 82) was dull, less colorful, less vibrant and seemingly muted. We really have been screwed by...

    Got my HD DNS shutoff Notice yesterday

    And with four waivers, my local affiliates gave up up their rights to economical gain, in my case. Well, if Directv is not the real problem in all of this, then I am completely screwed as I have NO hope of affecting the FCC or NAB or even my elected officials...........

    Got my HD DNS shutoff Notice yesterday

    The advantage for Directv to shut off my LA HD nets was obvious, in that it was done just prior to football season. I quit subscribing to the NFL ST package because of the blackouts so I just had two less HD channels for watching football. Well, I read the FCC fact sheet on SHVERA over and...

    Got my HD DNS shutoff Notice yesterday

    Well, I have read SHVERA and the associated fact sheet. Believe it or not, I am allowed to receive no more than TWO HD networks from my associated timezone. According to this, I am legally allowed to receive Columbus digitals AND NY digitals. According to SHVERA, I am also allowed to receive LA...

    Got my HD DNS shutoff Notice yesterday

    I expect both both because I earned both and I pay for both. Without HD DNS, my 1000 dollar HD Tivo is not much more useful than the three other tivos I have.

    Got my HD DNS shutoff Notice yesterday

    1. 43050 2. I live 45 miles from the towers and cannot erect a antenna in my condo. All four network affiliates granted me a full waiver. Only one is O&O (NBC) and apparently they are being sold and will no longer be O&O. 3. Yes, I called and wrote to Direct before installing the new dish and...

    Got my HD DNS shutoff Notice yesterday

    Disturbing. I was assured by a "resolution specialist" this would not happen to me. I have four active waivers in place, so maybe that makes me safe, but who knows? I need to get on the horn and call the higher ups at Direct to ensure I never get one of these cards......

    Who would want Voom on DirecTV ???

    I wouldn't want it at all. I remember the channels and I also remember the content. Out of all their programming, I would likely record only one show per week. Believe it or not, there are no HD channels available out there that Direct doesn't carry which interest me. I have no interest in...

    HD DVR - Any Update on Release Date?

    And the last date I heard (2 weeks ago) from Directv was fall, which obviously could translate into December 2006. Ugh.

    HD locals added on 4/19/06

    There is nothing in SHVERA that precludes me from having all these channels and in fact, I should have LA HD channels, but Direct stopped them. I have four current, active waivers from the Columbus network affiliates and have had them in place for over two years. I live 45 miles from the...

    HD locals added on 4/19/06

    Recording D* programming from an H20 receiver

    I too am looking forward to "Nightmares and Dreamscapes" on TNT this summer. I will use the HD Tivo to record this though. TNT does well with original programming in Hi Def and when I archive this to DVD (using S-video from the HD Tivo), the resultant product is very appealing, for SD.

    HD Locals In Columbus, OH

    LOL, I forgot about Jay, although I use the HD Tivo to record him every evening. Being as old as I am, I usually turn into a pumpkin before Jay comes on.

    HD Locals In Columbus, OH

    Bluegrass Satellite did the install and it was the same man who did my original install 2 years ago. I live in Mount Vernon, Ohio which is 40 miles or so northeast of Columbus. The installers name was Frank and if every Direct employee and/or representative were like him, there would be no...

    HD Locals In Columbus, OH

    Installed and working All installed and activated. The dish is really not that much bigger but the pole and supports make it look larger. The H20 does not come with a HDMI cable so I will need to pick up one before I can do a side by side test versus the HD Tivo...

    Frank Wilson is someone who I do believe and have communicated with in the past.

    HD Locals In Columbus, OH

    RIRWIN - Thanks for the post. Sounds like a miscommunication between Direct and WBNS to me. As long as it is up by football season, I am content!

    HD locals added on 4/19/06

    RIRWIN - Thanks for the response. I am so relieved to hear you say that the locals look just as good on Direct as OTA. Now I can relax. Tomorrow is my installation day so I am looking forward to it.

    HD locals added on 4/19/06

    RIRWIN - So they have three out of the four channels up? From what I am reading, WBNS is not up yet. This is basically the only channel I really want because of the Browns in HD !!

    Directv Next 24 markets for HD

    I have four active waivers. You need to continue reading the document, which delineates the exceptions to the rule. Otherwise, I wouldn't currently have local channels from three different markets.
