    Used H20 from Ebay - activation

    Has anyone bought a used H20 from Ebay? I want to get an H20 and I would normally get it from DTV, but I don't want to be stuck with the 2 year commitment. If I get a used one from Ebay, would I be able to activate it by getting a new card from DTV, and NOT have the 2 year commitment? I've...

Reported this about 2 months ago - I have an H20 that keeps failing - get a black screen, the remote doesn't respond, and I can't do anything but to press the red reset button for it to reinitialize and reset, where it eventually comes back. It used to...

    NBA TV/League Pass in HD not available

    Will H20 work with Non HD TV?

    I want to take advantage of the $200 rebate for the H20. However, I don't have an HD television to hook it up to yet. I'll be getting one soon, but not until April or May. Can I hook up the H20 to a regular non HD television, have it activated by D* and just watch SD broadcasts? Thanks!

    What Universal remote works with SAT520

    I just ordered my second Zenith/LG SAT520 receiver from Robert at VE. It's a really good receiver, hence my second. I bought it w/o the remote, since the original remote does not come with it. I don't want to pay alot of $$ for a remote because I want real basic functionality and also because...

    Problem with rectangular black box on screen

    I was watching Fox on HD (show "24") last night and a big rectangular solid black box appeared on my screen which basically covered almost all of the bottom half of the screen. When I press any button on my remote (e.g., volume, guide, etc.) the box goes away, but reappears about 10 seconds...

    H10 and non-HD picture

    With the help of this forum, I got my HD installed. Thanks everyone! Got a great deal too. Here's a question. I ordered from D* and got the H10. The HD broadcasts look fantastic! However, the regular non-HD channels look sort of blurry. I don't watch them in full screen because I don't...
