    D* and the H20 are killing me.

    1st 2 paragraphs are back story / venting – bypass is you wish. I don't post much, but this is seriously unbelievable. I recently bought a 2nd HD TV and when getting the receiver from D* decided to upgrade from the H10 3LNB to 2 H20’s and the 5LNB. I got a great deal, they were nice, threw...

    Do Installers remove the old dish?

    I recently upgraded to the 5LNB from the 3LNB. The Installer was really nice and seemed to do a good job. At the end though he told me he left the 3LNB Dish on the house. He said taking the old dish down is a "custom installation" and costs an extra $50. Is that right? Was he telling me the...

    Upgrading to MPEG 4

    I have been away from the forum for a while and now that I hear I'll be able to see my RSN (Chicago) in HD relatively soon if I have the new equipment. Well I don't have the new equipment yet, so what is the best way to get it? I have the H10 and triple LNB deal now. I wanted to ask hear...

    Local HD - How to get it...

    I live in Chicago and have had HD for a year or so. I was told that D* would call me to do the upgrade to MPEG4. I have to assume at this point that it is not the case. How are you supposed to get things like these upgrades if you don't look at these boards all the time. ...Anyway, is my...

    Chicago MPEG 4

    I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I like how things are now. I get the new york feeds, so I get to watch all the major shows in HD. I get a couple extra football games that normally wouldn't get and could only if I bought the ticket. What does the new stuff do that I can't...

    What did you all pay? Are you getting the dish for free, paying for install, etc...

    Chicago MPEG 4

    Has anyone in Chicago been contacted by D* in regards to the upgrade?

    Free Upgrade to MPEG-4??

    People keep saying that D* will call. Didn't Chicago start doing the upgrades? I live here and I haven't gotten a call. Am I wrong about them rolling it out already?

    How do we upgrade to the MPEG 4?

    Once they start upgrading, how do I get my box upgraded? Do they contact me, or will I have to call and ask?

    HD Tivo Question??

    Thanks guys.... I appreciate it. The new deal everyone is talking about made me think about doing it, but I just would hate to have a machine that works so slowly.

    Audio Problems

    OK, then I guess I have 2 problems as mine does that as well.

    HD Tivo Question??

    I have a "regular" Tivo right now - I think an R10. The guide is dreadfully slow and flipping channels takes entirely too long. I am considering getting the HD Tivo, but i don't want to if it doesn't move faster. On a side note, I have an H10 now and can fly through channels. So to go...

    Audio Problems

    I posted a similar question last week, but I didn't get any replies. On my H10, the SD audio is fine. When I am flip to an HD channel, I get a 10-15 second delay in audio. I am not saying it doesn't sync up, it just takes 10-15 seconds for the audio to "load". Is that the same problem you...

    H10, Audio delay when changing channels

    Last night I was flipping channels on my H10 (mostly between the HD channels and the NY network feeds). Seemingly every other time a flipped channels (and sometimes even when I kept something on for an extended period) I would lose audio. It lasted between 10 and 20 seconds each time. I know...

    ABC and FOX NY HD feeds have a bad signal

    I called to complain/get an answer for the audio lag as well. I got transfered to a couple differnet people, the last of which said that they know there is a problem, it is a broadcast problem, and they are working on it. They also said there was nothing they could do for me.

    Directv National Downgrade Day Feb. 28, 2005

    I think we are all missing the big picture here... You cannot have a 1st Annual Directv National Downgrade Day. It is that simple. Something can't be annual unless it has happened before. The Inaugural Directv National Downgrade Day... Now that's a cause.

    New HD Reciever at Best Buy

    To update my last... I called D* and told them of the problem while at work. They resent (retransmitted, downloaded, or whatever else you would like to call it) my programming information. When i got home the problem was gone. Pending any further problems, the receiver is now working just fine.

    New HD Reciever at Best Buy

    I got the H10 2 days ago and I am having audio sync problems on FOX 88. It was more than a few seconds off. I love Bruce Lee and all, but I was hoping to watch Jack Bauer in HD save the world from Terrorism for the 4th season... I am calling D* in about 2 minutes, but if anyone knows what...

    HD Broadcast update

    I don't know how much the average CSR knows, but the person I spoke with said that she thinks the upgrad will be free.

    HD Broadcast update

    I don't know if this is old news or not, but the CSR (a terribly nice person by the way) I spoke with today told me that at some point this year (no date) Chicago will receive its local channels in HD. Just thought I would trhow that out there... you know - doing me part!

    Hughes HR10-250 HDMI ??

    Hope this ins't a bad question... If you use a HDMI to DVI (converter) cable, wouldn't you still need to use an additional digital audio cable since DVI isn't audio? Man i hoe that makes sense...

    Tivo vs. non Tivo DVD Recorders

    I couldn't find this info anywhere, so I hope I am not repeating a thread... I am about to upgrade D* to get HD. I was also going to get Tivo with it as well. Can someone tell me why I should get a Tivo product that I'll have to pay a monthly fee for over a Sony (or whatever) non Tivo...

    Help for the non-technical please

    I have been reading several threads and posts and I have a question for just about every single one of them. I am a bit non-technical. If someone out there has the time to help a new user out, I would REALLY appreciate it. I have D* now. I called customer retention and they gave me what...

    D* HD upgrade question(s)

    I plan on making the same purchase from D*: HD Receiver and Tivo. I have the standard STB right now and I know there is only 1 line coming in the house. Do i need to ask for additional lines to be run, or will they be doing it automatically? Also, does anyone know what kind of OTA Antenna...
