    Need some help fixing and installer mistake.

    Phantom Center Channel? How would that happen? In regards to the original post the wiring problem has been taken care of. We found another direct line running to a room near the Master bedroom and coupled the 2. Everything is great now. As far as the Center Channel all I know is what I...

    Need some help fixing and installer mistake.

    All i know is that with only 120w going to the center channel it is very hard to hear dialogue. Sending 150w+ makes the dialogue and highs crystal clear. Based on that 100w would only make the problem worse.

    Need some help fixing and installer mistake.

    Yeah, no kidding. I told them they shouldn't have to pay him or he needs to fix it for free. This same installer tried to downgrade me from buying a Denon AVR 3805 to the 2805. As it is I have wattage issues with the 3805 and need to buy a seperate amp so I can have a better sounding system. If...

    Need some help fixing and installer mistake.

    So how exactly does that work? If I have an HD box in the Master bedroom this will take the component signal and mirror it to the 3rd story HDTV? What is the coax to fiber adapter for? If you could explain the setup i would appreciate it. Thanks.

    Need some help fixing and installer mistake.

    There is a dedicated line coming from the dish to the master bedroom. So we can put a receiver there. But the 3rd story is just a coax line coming down to the master bedroom to plug into a splitter or the back of the receiver to mirror. There is no dedicated line from the 3rd story to the dish...

    Need some help fixing and installer mistake.

    OK, I'm not sure there is an easy solution to this. Here is the situation. My wife's parents just added a 3rd story onto their 2nd story master bedroom. They had a home theater installer install the wiring for the room. They told him they wanted to be able to watch HDTV in the master bedroom and...

    What can I do with a BUD?

    My wife's parents have a BUD and are looking to get rid of it because they don't think it can be used. What exactly can it be used for other than a large lawn chair? Can you get HD with it etc? Sorry for the general question.

    HD DNS Question.

    Ok, here is my situation. I have waivers to receive HD signals of ABC,CBS, FOX, and NBC. I have been receiving those signals from L.A. for about a year now. When i originally had them turned on I had been told I could have either the West coast or East coast feed. When It came down to turning...

    DirecTV's Lease sucks for HD TIVO owners

    This may already be a known issue but i haven't been around here for a while. I called D* tech support because our HD Tivo has been really pixelated and it locks up. Anyway after getting the steps to format the hard drive I asked about the new HD DVR. The Tech said the current status she had was...

    I would like some info on HD waivers

    I am in an area where only ABC broadcasts in HD. If you call your local channel and tell them you want a waiver to receive HD until they get it up and running you shouldn't have a problem. Tell them you pay for locals on D* already and will continue to do so. Once they get their HD setup and...

    ESPN2HD, what a joke.

    Let me first say that I am happy D* added another HD channel to our meager lineup. With that said ESPN2HD is pretty lame. Was there really that much of an outcry from those of us with D* HD to add this channel? 95% of what is shown is SD. ESPNHD has a hard enough time broadcasting HD content and...

    HR10-250 Problem!

    I'm using HDMI to HDMI and I have not rebooted the Tivo because cycling through the formats back to 1080i does the trick. I have a huge A/V system so I don't really want to switch to component as it takes about an hour to unhook the equipment and get it all back nice and neat. The problem in and...

    HR10-250 Problem!

    Yes I set up the remote for changing formats. The problem is the fact that the green screen is showing up at all. It locks the system until I switch formats on the box. I just don't think that should be happening.

    HR10-250 Problem!

    I've only had my HR10-250 for 2 weeks now but I am already having an intermittent problem. Every once in a while I will turn the tv on and the screen will be solid green. Nothing will reset the green screen except pressing the format button on the box itself. Using the up errow on the Tivo...

    $299 HD-DVR w/ $100 rebate

    I signed back up with D* in March with the $250 equipment credit. We ended up getting the Zenith SAT520 becuase the Tivo was so expensive. Then on Wednsday of last week I purchased an HD Tivo on Ebay for $504 and sold the Zenith for $150 and am getting the $100 rebate. Then I happened upon this...

    DirecTV and 700,000 HD Subscribers

    700,000 is the correct figure. Voom had something like 46,000 before they went under. If D* only had 70,000 HD subs we sure as hell wouldn't be seeing any birds flying this year.

    Has anyone else received a letter like this from Direct?

    So does this apply to non-HD subscribers who fall under the Grandfather clause. My parents got that card in the mail last year asking them to choose East coast channels or local channels. Of course they took the East coast channels. So now they will not get them anymore after the 25th?

    Can I get Distant Network HD or Not?

    I got home on Sunday and turned on ABCW to find that I had a crytal clear image. Oh, wait it would only be crystal clear if D* didn't compress their HD :D . I'll still take it though. Good luck Cmassa.

    Can I get Distant Network HD or Not?

    That's great. I haven't heard from D* yet. They said it could take 7 days to get the fax I sent. I'm going to call on Monday and make sure they got it.
