I am a Ham Radio guy and this week I had an interesting conversation with a former XM Employee on the Han Radio airwaves. He will remain nameless to protect his identity even though the information he gave me was of his own opinion and not any true intel to what is happening at Sirius XM...

I have been a XM subscriber for 5 years now. I have loved the programming and this is what basically keeps me there. My wife and I enjoy the 40's, 50's, Real Jazz, Classical, and Old Time Radio channels. (I know... we're old fashioned). :) We simply do not get any of these types of channels...

I just got a HR22 and notice it has 2 ports on the back for a network connection. My question is why 2?

I have researched extensively the last couple of days on the subject of doing a slimline dish pole mount. I have found some good resources, but most of the info on these and other forums is older. So I just want to verify with others who may have had this done, or done it. What I am looking...

I am curious how many people have had some of the issues I am aware of with the R15. I am on my fourth one. I was one of the first people to get the R15 when it came out a couple of years ago. My first one had a hard drive go out on it. Not a big deal, as I am a Network Engineer and have...

The full lineup is now airing. Information is here: Holidays on XM Merry Christmas!

I have noticed that they removed XM Pops, which was their HD classical channel. I listened to it mostly in the mornings. I do like the XM Classics too, so I am not starved for Classical music. I am assuming that the XM pops will return when the Christmas music stations are done for the...

I have noticed that I have not seen one Red Wings or Pistons game in HD yet. I swore I had a friend tell me on Dish that all the Tigers, Pistons, and Redwings home games were in HD.

The advertising blitz is on for D* We all have been seeing the commercials on television. In this last weekends USATODAY news paper, there were 17 total ads. 13 of which were full page ads. D* literally bought almost every advertising spot of the paper!

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — A future Super Bowl champion may someday be crowned overseas in a game witnessed predominantly by a foreign audience, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Monday. "There's a great deal of interest in holding a Super Bowl in London," Goodell told reporters. "So we'll be...

So I am wondering why D* does not have the Big Ten Network alternates in HD like E*.

I am in West Michigan in the Grand Rapids Metro area. I re-aligned my slimline dish tonight to get better signal on the 103(b) satellite where I was only getting 64-74%. I found that the mast which is supposed to be exactly 90 degrees for where I live, was mounted way off. The bad thing about...

My HR20's internal temp is reading 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Could others post what theirs is? Where I have mine set up does not allow any room for ventilation on the top of the receiver, and I want to verify with others to make sure mine is not running too hot. I have not had any issues...

Can anyone confirm for me if E* carries Fox Sports Detroit in HD?

I thought in light of todays observation that we should all be reflecting on the day in history that is our generations Pearl Harbor. I remember I was working in a clock factory on one of the lines when one of the floor managers was going around and stopping by each person on the lines and...

I called D* tonight to have one of my receivers canceled because when the installer came Saturday to install my HR20-700, he forgot to cancel my H20. While the CSR was changing the primary receiver and blah, blah, blah... I asked her if there was some sort of deal for current customers who have...

I about pissed my pants laughing when I saw this on an actual E* thread in their HD section. I am assuming this is an actual E* customer: "I hate to admit it, but the upconverted SD stuff on the new Discovery HD channels actually looks very good. While I can still tell the difference, its not...

Is value Electronics no longer a sponser of satalliteguys? I have used them in the past, and liked their service. I hope there was not a fall out or anything.

I would like to hear from anyone who has had experience becoming a new Directv subscriber recently. I have been one for 5 years now, but have a friend who is a comcast subscriber who wants to switch to D*, except that he would have to pay $200 for an HR20. He wants to leave comcast because...

Is it just me... The Steelers - Jaguars game on ESPNHD for MNF looks exceptionally good for a D* signal!

Just curiouse what channels these are on. I know you need the new mpeg4 receivers to get them, (I should have mine installed this month). I am specifically curiouse to what channel the Detroit Tigers games in HD are on.

I have a question pertaining to having more that one DVR on your Directv system. I currently have one, and would like to get the new HD DVR (when it is available). Obviously there is the 5.99 DVR charge per month. If I have two DVR's, will there be two of those charges? I know in the past...

An invite to the first 11 guys, (or gals), interested in joining the 12 team league I created at Fox Sports free fantasy football. It is free, it is a live draft, that will be on August 28 at 7:00pm. Fox Sports is new to the free fantasy football this year, (I believe anyway), and has a lot of...
