    Audio problems - Atlanta - CH 36/46

    Is anyone else having problems with audio on WGCL or WATL? When watching the HD channels, I get only a LFE channel unless it is national programming. When doing straight through DD 5.1 decoding it's just bass rumble. If I enhance the 5.1 with echo or run it through a DSP, I get a really...

    Staff Members ONLY getting referral $$$

    Just saw the thread where it was posted to PM a staff member to get a referral. Is it really fair that THEY get the all the $50 per referral payments without leaving it open to all the members of the board? wonder how long it will take this thread to be locked or deleted? :) Just food...

    Bad reception on 68/78

    I am having big problems on the Atlanta/Dekalb Comcast system. On Chs 68 and 78 (analog, obviously) I get really bad reception. Other channels are great. I have a 3.5/3.5 splitter outside the house for my HSI, and a 4 way 7/7/7/7 splitter in the attic. I was told my signal level at the outside...

    Rain fade on HD locals

    Does anyone experience rain fade more often on the HD locals than on normal programming? My signals are 95+ normally, but the locals will fade even though the "normal" channels are fine.

    Installer to fish from attic to basement - 2 Story house

    Does anyone know of an installer in the NE Atlanta area that could hook me up to my AT-9 with a third drop? It needs to go from the attic through a trough (fairly packed) to the basement. DTV installer said that glow rods won't handle it.

    Atlanta - HR20 direct from DTV?

    Has anyone from Atlanta gotten an HR20 direct from DTV? I was told that I qualify for a free HR20, but that they couldn't yet guarantee which HD DVR that I would get if they scheduled an installation in Atlanta. Is Ron's TV still doing NE Atlanta (Northlake area) installs?

    H20 Firmware Update?

    Did an update for the H20 come down? A couple of days ago my H20 was off when I woke up. I went to the info screen where the firmware version and date USED to be (or so I thought) and it's no longer there. Can anyone confirm/deny?

    New H20 crash

    Haven't seen this one before, but I found that the H20 crashes if you try to scroll down in the Caller ID list with the CH-DN key, similar to the favorites scroll bug.

    XM Specials on multiple channels - more bandwidth?

    Does anyone know if the reason they have XM specials on more than one channel is to aggregate bandwidth for better sound quality? Seems that they may be able to take Channels 1, 2, and 3 and bond them into a single high rate stream and have the same programming on 1, 2, and 3 (arbitrary numbers...

    H20/AT-9 w/o contract

    A friend wants to get HD but doesn't want the 2 year contract. If he buys an H20 and AT-9 from VE and doesn't send in the rebate, will DTV activate it without a contract?

    Current shipping SD D* receivers

    I'm thinking of getting another receiver to connect to a remote replayTV to allow SAT recording of SD channels without hogging my HD receiver. It would need to be able to be controlled by my ReplayTV unit. Does anyone know what current models of receivers are being shipped by D* for SD? Thanks!

    AT-9 with Diplexer for SD

    Ok, I need to add a SD receiver to record my wife's BBC theme shows. I'm tired of our ReplayTV changing the H20 channel while I'm in the middle of watching something HD. I have an old RCA receiver in the basement gathering dust and want to use it. Can I use a diplexer on one of the H20...

    Blank entries in the guide

    This morning I was browsing the guide and found numerous blank entries. It looks like most, if not all, of them were where "PAID PROGRAMMING" would be. If I scroll over to the noon time, the blanks are gone and all the grid is populated. Has anyone else noticed this? My receiver is an H20...

    Free triple LNB - NE Atlanta area

    Since I can't post in the classifieds and I'm not making any $$$, I figured it would be ok to post here. I have a triple LNB dish that needs a new home. Just installed an AT9 and hate to throw it away. Yours for the asking in the NE Atlanta area. I can meet you at Northlake Mall. Reply if...

    H20 Acquring Guide message

    Has anyone else been getting this message on their H20? It popped up 3 times during Martha's Apprentice and my wife is mad as hell because it doesn't just overlay the picture, it completely blanks out the sound and video. Doing a ChUp/ChDn will restore the video and sound, but if you're...

    H20 direct channel entry problem

    Ok...I have a ReplayTV and would like to use the HD feed to record from. However, I have two sets of locals. For example, the first 5 is AT5 and the second is WAGA. When I select a channel via the keyboard, it defaults to the normal SD broadcast channel (AT5). Hitting CH UP will bring be to...

    Atlanta AT9 install in progress

    Well, the installer is here and decided it could go on my roof. The roof on the bonus room area is flatter than the normal roof pitch, so with the bipod support it will be pretty stable. He said no way could they have done it on the rest of the roof. WHEW! As luck would have it, I forgot...

    H20 install - have tech run 2 drops?

    I currently have only one IRD that is used in a multi-room setup. I will probably be getting the DTV MP4 DVR when it is available and I'm hoping it will have dual tuners. Would I be out of line asking the tech to go ahead and run two drops to my family room as long as he's fishing cables?

    AT9 - Chimney mount

    I may have to try to get my DTV installer to mount my AT9 on the chimney. Can anyone tell me what size bolts the dish needs? I want to go ahead and get the bolts and anchors beforehand since I'm sure the installer won't have them.

    NE Atlanta DTV installer

    Does anyone know who DTV contracts with to do installes in NE Atlanta (85/285, Northlake area)? I want to call them to discuss my mounting situation. NO WAY can I get by with a pole mount on the ground due to trees. They'd have to mount the dish about 3' from the road in front of my house and...

    H20 installation

    If I mail order an H20 w/rebate from one of the sponsors, how do I go about getting installation? If I can get the receiver for $99 + $15 installation from DTV, wouldn't I be better going that route? I'm guessing that getting someone to install the system without purchasing it from them would...

    UPN/WB-HD on D* anytime?

    Anyone heard if UPN or WB will be available on D*? They are the only other two O&O stations in Atlanta. NBC/CBS/ABC are all affiliates.
