    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.

    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...

    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'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...

    My mother and father in-law have a Hughes SD Tivo, not sure which model. They get East & West feeds of NBC & CBS but not FOX or ABC. FOX and ABC are coming from the off air antenna. I know these hughes boxes have antenna in jacks but will the off air channels show up in the PG and more...

    Kentucky Derby?

    Did anyone else think the picture quality on NBC DNS looked like crap? Certain shots like the actual race and blimp shots looked fine but interviews looked down right ugly. Was NBC using only a handful of HD cameras for certain shots? I'm just curious if anyone else noticed this problem?

    MPEG 4 Conversion, who gets the upgrade?

    Ok, I just switched back to D* on Friday after having Voom for 3 Months and E* for 3 months. I am very happy to be back especially because I have waivers that get me NBC, CBS, and FOX in HD from LA. With Spaceway 1 launching tomorrow and the upgrade to MPEG 4 on the horizon, I have a pertinent...

    What is the best equipment?

    I am going to switch back to D* but don't want to pay for the equipment. D* already offered us a $250 programming credit so now I just need the equipment. I am going to do the install myself because our house is already wired for satellite. So what I want to know is what is a good HD receiver...

    Can I get Distant Network HD or Not?

    Ok, I have been talking with multiple D* CSR's and have not been able to get a clear answer about this. I live in Redding, CA where D* and E* offer Local channels. I currently have E* and obtained a waiver from our CBS affiliate to receive E*'s New York CBSHD feed. Becuase our local channels are...

    Antenna and Preamp problems.

    I have a Winegard 9095p UHF antenna on my roof. I was using a cheap Radioshack 10 db preamp and was getting good reception. I decided to try the winegard ap4800 preamp to get stations that are on the fringe of good reception. To my dismay I hooked the ap4800 up today and now I get worse...

    NBC,ABC, & Fox in HD?

    I just had a second dish installed to receive CBSHD from NY. Our local stations have no problems giving wavers for HD since they are not upgrading for atleast 2 or 3 years. So does anyone know if E* is working on getting NY and L.A. High Def feeds of NBC,ABC, and Fox just like their CBS feed? D*...

    So does anyone have a sure fire way to get out of a 6 month contract without paying the $250 termination fee? i mean besides the fact that we have had a crap load of problems with Voom. We are going to switch to DISH until Direc's HD Tivo comes down in price. :shocked

    Still have problems with OTA in Nor-Cal...

    Ok, the installer came out yesterday and installed the more powerful yaggy antenna. Unfortunately we are still not getting the locals we should be. It isn't the antenna because we picked up NBC from Sacramento, with 86% reception, wich is 150 miles away. Something must be up with our receiver...
