    Why can't rural areas get SLC HD locals?

    They get all the national HD channels, just not the Salt Lake Locals. The Salt Lake local HD channels show up on the guide, but when you select the channel is says searching for satellite. Standard def local work fine. So I'm assuming is the spot beam for the HD locals.

    Why can't rural areas get SLC HD locals?

    My brother and friends live in Ely, NV, which is about 350 miles from Salt Lake City. They get the Salt Lake stations as their local market. Even though Directv carries the Salt Lake Locals in HD, and they show up on the guide info in Ely, they do not come in. Presumably his is do to the size...

    XM to Become Exclusive Satellite Radio Carrier of NHL

    IMHO I think that football is the only sport which translates well over the radio. Plus football isn't as regional as baseball or hockey. For example, there are lots of Dallas Cowboy fans who live in Clevland, New York, Wisconsin. And Packer fans in Arizona, Florida, and Seatle. So those...

    Which Premium for HD Movies?

    I would recomend HBO - definitely more mainsteam hit movies in HD, and I love their original programming, which is also in HD. Plus, if you like boxing, HBO usually has the upper hand at contacting for the better fights. For me though Deadwood, The Sopranos, Rome, Entourage, Big Love, The...

    No Channels at the Cabin

    BTW, dont bother calling Dish. That will probably cause more problems than anything. Just imaging trying to explain to operator in India that you are just transporting your receiver to your cabin to use over the weekend. I'm sure you'll just get that standard response that you need a...

    No Channels at the Cabin

    Just leave it plugged in and hooked up to the Dish for a while and it should eventually start receiving your channels. I have an extra receiver that only gets turned on when I take my trailer out, so it usually sits unhooked for months at a time. It usually has to be on for a while before I...

    Where the Heck Is HD Hockey?

    Is this a good deal?

    Wait until D comes out with an MPEG 4 dvr.

    Thanks for the advice. I was thinking about doing the same thing, leasing a 622 and a 625, and then just adding the extra receivers myself. However, now that the 622 has dropped down to $499, the lease deal isn't looking all that great.

    If You Can't Get Locals OTA

    Do you own the HD Tivo, or are you leasing it? You could recoup some money by selling it on ebay. Sounds like you're in a bit of a pickle. Why don't you call D and see what the penalty would be to cancel your service. Then we can have a better idea of what to do.

    Anybody know what happens when you self install?

    Is this a good deal?

    Keep in mind that D's HD Tivo is MPEG 2. If and when they add new channel's they will probably be MPEG 4. Why pay for old technology?

    Here's the deal. My brother is ready to jump into the Dish realm now that he has an HDTV. I know satellite stuff so I am researching the best deal for him. He has a huge house so he will need multiple receivers. I'm concerned about a few things. First, I'm worried about the quality of the...
