    Help!? Directv tech says I cant uprgade to 5lnb

    Agreed. Seems to me the two degrees might make a lot of difference a million miles out, but should make much difference now in terms of the space between two trees 40 feet out....at least until the tress grow closer together :-)

    Which E* HD Channel Has The Most Room For Improvement?

    Agreed! Haven't seen a good rant for awhile on the whole topic of how Rainbow Media, after the demise of VOOM Satellite, and the rebirth as provider of programming, was going to really pump a lot of new content into the Voom channels. Remember all the dedicated forums just on Voom...

    Two I have had excellent experience with.... include the ~$130 Winnegard Squareshooter if you are looking for a more permanent installation (outdoors) with the best chance of fixing on signals, and the ~$30 SILVER SENSOR (currently carried at Circuit City) if you want a more simple indoor...

    Splitting OTA

    I have a similar situation. Coax run from the chimney-mounted Winegard Squareshooter is 25 feet to the equipment rack. In the rack I have an inexpensive RadioShack one in/four out coax amplifier. Two coax outs go right into the rack (E* VIP622 & D* H20) and the third runs another 75 feet...

    DirecTV Touts HD Ambitions

    Great objective post. As it relates to your first three points, I was thinking the exact same things. I think both D* and E* realize that--from a marketing standpoint--neither needs to appeal the the highly technical HD fan (like most of us) at this point in the game. I can't wait to...

    Anyone else have problems with NBC Thursday Football Pic?

    Only caught the fourth quarter, but immediately noticed issues with pixelation +loss of detail on the medium-to-long range camera shots. The pixelation seemed to clear up half-way thru the quarter. Was wondering if this was going on the whole game? By the way....saw the same problem on...
