    OTA on HR20 in Sept? Oct? Nov?

    Just downloaded it using the force download. OTA working perfectly here in the Birmingham area. To get it, you reset/reboot by pushing the red button by the access card, then when the first screen appears type 02468 (in that order, not all at once) on your remote. If you see a screen that says...

    Best Output For HD

    CC also sells some for $80 (not Monster; I can't remember the name of the brand), and I've definitely seen some for more than that! Crazy!

    HDMI Cables

    I don't think people that work at Circuit City or Best Buy get commissions anymore. I applied for a job there a few years ago when I was in college thinking I could get commissions but at the time was disappointed to hear the manager tell me they do not receive any commissions (given my...

    HDMI Cables

    As I posted in another thread, I have a Philips HDMI cable that I bought at Wal-Mart for $30 which looks just fine on my 32" Sharp Aquos. I have tested it compared to component RGB cables on both my HR20 and Playstation 3 and I definitely think the HDMI is better. I have not compared my HDMI...

    Best Output For HD

    I agree: I bought a $30 HDMI cable from Wal-Mart to hook up my Playstation 3 to my 32' Sharp Aquos and it looks great. The cable also improves the PQ on my HR20 when compared to the Monster Component cable I have, as well. So, if you do decide to get an HDMI, the Philips HDMI cable that...

    Directv H20 Reciever issues with OTA

    I don't know if this will transpire (as it was already supposed to last month) but a tech department rep told me today that the software update for the HR20 that will allow OTA reception will be released Dec. 1.

    HR-20 Remote Question

    I just got a new HR-20 and want to be able to control my Sony receiver's volume while the remote mode is set on Directv, instead of having to switch it to AV1 to change the volume every time. I hope somebody can tell me how to do this, otherwise having to switch over and over and over will get...

    DIRECTV Getting Sued over HD Lite

    Charper, you're right and that's a very good analogy. I see D* as having a good case based on what this individual claims, but if there were a public policy argument made about why D* isn't being honest AND is giving us crap, and depending on which judge hears this case, this could be one of...

    DIRECTV Getting Sued over HD Lite

    Scott, Sean Mota, and other big-time posters: You CAN help this guy's case, as well as all of us who suffer from DTV's horrible HD picture quality. If you will compile some of the data that shows clearly and in plain English how DTV is degrading picture, and that D* is potentially misleading...

    ESPN Full Circle UM-FSU coverage

    This is the best thing ever! I'm watching ESPN 2 which has 9 different views (including the crowd in the background) at once and I'm wondering why all big games can't be broadcast like this. I love being able to see the coaches' and players' reactions, the skycam, and the crowd all at once and...

    XM To Expand Channel Lineup and Commercial-Free Music Programming

    ^^^ I don't know, kevlard. This letter seems to me to say that XM isn't happy about having the commercials. The facts that they were forced by arbitration with Clear Channel (the evil empire) to put commercials on Clear Channel stations, AND counterbalanced Clear Channel's B.S. demand with the...

    CNN International

    CNNI is awful. Any opened minded, intelligent person who has watched it knows that they would rather not offend than report hard news. They filter their news and analysis through a political correctness filter and report on so many meaningless stories. When I'm abroad I never watch it even...

    Directv or Verizon FIOS

    ^^^ That's unbelievable, siersema. I wish BellSouth would do this but Duane Ackerman (CEO) has said he's not going to invest in fiber optic. So it looks like the southeast US is stuck w/ our current options for a long time to come.

    Any help w/ install in Birmingham?

    Hello. I am looking for someone to install my D* system in my new apartment in Birmingham. I'm bringing it up from our lakehouse and don't want to lose the NY/LA channels I currently get by officially changing my address to Birmingham, but so far I can't find anyone willing to do this for me...

    Hughes HD Receiver remote ?, FOX HD ?

    Hello. I have a Hughes HD Receiver and can't figure out or find a post in the forum about how to program my remote to be able to, under Satellite mode, change the volume of my Sony receiver (which I run the audio through directly via Optical). Currently, in SAT mode the volume button changes...
