    New H23 Receiver local HD questions

    Len, Although not a participant in the "Cutting Edge" program, I have been following the threads there about contents of the CE releases. H23 support for the AM-21 has been listed as a capability since January. One would hope that the next National Release firmware would have this...

    Need help with a replacement Receiver.

    Piz, I have an old standard definition receiver from 1998. It is an RCA DRD515RB. You are welcome to have it if you want it. However, as others have said, I think you will need to pay DTV a small amount to get a new card, if they are still available. I would also agree with the others...

    Time from CE to National Release-H23?

    Given that AM21 support for the basic HD receivers (not HD recorders) was just put out in a CE software release a few weeks ago, I was wondering how long it generally took for CE features to be made available in the normal national software releases. DirecTV won't sell me an AM21 because it...

    Fun Upgrade Install

    Being the procrastinator that I am, I finally got around to availing myself of the free upgrade from an H10 with a 3 LNB dish. After 2 1/2 hours the installer finally decided that I wasn't going to get any signal from where he installed the new dish. He is in the process of moving the dish to...

    Upgrade without Committment?

    An additional update. DirecTV (a different representative) did call back a few minutes ago to see if I had made up my mind. She confirmed that this would be a new receiver without a committment. So I scheduled an installation appointment for the afternoon of Friday, 27 June. I will take off...

    Upgrade without Committment?

    Thanks folks. Your responses seem to confirm my initial doubts about the validity of the offer. I have been a customer for about 10 years and for most of that time have had everything plus multiple sports subscriptions. I even had the old DirecTV DSL service until it folded several years ago...

    Upgrade without Committment?

    Got a call a few days ago from DirecTV. The woman claimed that I could get an upgrade from my H10 to an H20/H21 and 5 LNB dish without a committment. I was about to go to FIOS, but this seemed to be to too good to be true. My wife is a sports fanatic and the opportunity to get the college...

    Making changes to account online?

    A few months back I tried to cancel the college football ESPN Game Plan on-line. It wouldn't allow me to do it and provided a phone number to call. The phone call was quick and painless. Regards, Dan

    ESPN Game Plan/Full Court in HD?

    Just in case anyone else is interested, here is the response I received to an e-mail I sent to DirecTV regarding the availability of the college sports subscriptions in HD. "Thank you for writing us back about ESPN Full Court or GamePlan in HD. I'm sorry that we are not currently able to...

    ESPN Game Plan/Full Court in HD?

    Does anyone know if the ESPN college sports packages will be broadcast in HD this year? I recognize that it would be dependent upon the individual game being produced in HD. If DirecTV does intend to provide games in HD, when available, will it require an MPEG4 receiver, or will an MPEG2...

    FIOS Help with Digital Optical ?

    I don't have an HK receiver, but on my Pioneer I had to go into setup and associate the optical from my satellite receiver with the satellite input on the Pioneer AV receiver. Just a thought. Regards, Dan

    H10 and Thunderstorm

    Source of problem found. We must of had some huge wind gusts last night, because when I went outside this morning after the weather cleared, the dish was pointing straight up in the air. The J-mast connection to the base mounting bracket had rotated almost 90 degrees. I will really tighten...

    H10 and Thunderstorm

    Had a severe thunderstorm this evening and lost power twice within a minute or so. Once power was restored, the H10 went into set-up mode, but couldn't find any satellites---all transponders show as n/a. In the menu tab that shows all current settings there was a comment about replacing the...

    Antenna Installer Falls Church, VA?

    Pat, My comment about HD locals being available was in regards to a planned future upgrade that is generally being reported as being available starting in the July 2005 time frame. I would not expect there to be anything on the DirecTV web page about that at this time. I believe that if...

    Antenna Installer Falls Church, VA?

    Pat, Although I have never used them personally, Fairfax Antenna seems to get high ratings. They are down in the Springfield/Newington area, not too far from Falls Church. They have a web page. However, two other things you might want to consider. Either could save you an installation...

    Which should I get? New H10 or RCA dtc-210

    Lee, Your question instantly triggered a realization that should have been obvious to me before. I did double check to make sure, and the analog stations are labelled DC4, DC5, etc. Which, of course, means that they are the DirecTV local feeds rather than the OTA analog feed. All I can...

    Which should I get? New H10 or RCA dtc-210

    Lee, All I can say is that on my H10 both the analog and digital stations show up after I do a scan. I am located in the Washington, D.C. area. Regards, Dan

    Which should I get? New H10 or RCA dtc-210

    Lee, I think Sharpie may be asking if he can plug an OTA antenna into the H10 and get an NTSC station to show up in the Guide rather than if the H10 has an NTSC tuner. And yes, if you connect an OTA antenna up and do a scan, then all of the stations, analog and digital, that are available...
