    Finally signed up....Disappointed

    So I got DirecTV hooked up last Friday, but I am disappointed in the picture quality. I have mid to upper 90s signal strength, the DVRs are set to 1080i output and I am hooked up with HDMI. The problem is that on premium HD channels I'm seeing a lot of compression artifacts and on all HD...

    2 DVRS and MRV?

    Can I have two HD DVRs and one HD Receiver and use MRV from every box? What I mean is can I view recordings from one DVR to the other DVR or only from an HD Receiver? Can I view recordings from both DVRs on the HD Receiver?

    So...I requested a SWM. Will I get one?

    I ordered service from D* and requested two HR23-700s, a standard HD receiver and a SWM Dish. All was notated on my work orders. I know that this was notated because I called back and a different CSR read the notes and all the info was there. Then she went on to say that she can't promise...

    Thinking about going back to D*. PQ any better?

    I am thinking about going back to D*. I left a few years ago, prior to the Mpeg 4 rollout because of picture quality. Has the HD picture drastically improved on D* since '06-'07? Is it still "HD-lite"? Thanks.
