Hd Lil Anybody know the status of Local HD channels in San Antonio? Thanks

rebate? thanks for the link for the rebate. Are you still elgible for a rebate if you already have DVR and HD service? 2 separate boxes of course.

where is the rebate? I saw it on newegg for $489 but it didn't mention a rebate. Is there still one? Thanks:confused:

Got mine.. SA,TX GO SPURS GO!!!

Not sure, it may be just amplifying the noise and artifacts etc... you can have good cables but it's only going to be as good as the source.

I agree..

Good one.. almost got me!!

sounds like a good deal... but what about your contract w/D*? and of course don't forget about picture quality. I have both TWC and D* so I can get local HD channels (for NBA playoffs) and the analog channels are crappy; even my wife pointed it out.

INHD? Cool :)

D* needs to get more HD channels cause at the moment they are the worst choice if you really want HD. In my opinion: 1st choice is voom .. they just got more if it although the quality of those channels is suspect from what I hear. Cons: still need antenna for local HD. 2nd choice is...

I think D* fears that if they put an ethernet connection on receivers it will somehow make them vulnerable to hackers.. which I could understand their concern with all the trouble they had w/signal pirates. But I agree the old land based phone line has to go. Maybe they should come out w/some...

I guess it depends on the program you are watching, your TV, settings... all that stuff. I have a 42 mits TV, maybe I could really tell the difference if I had a 50+ TV..

True, I didn't think about it like that.

I hope it gets better too. I also think that 720p for sports is over rated. Hdnet uses 1080i for sports and to me it makes the difference between a great picture and almost being there. Maybe 720p is good for a hockey puck or a 100mph fastball but I think b-ball and football can get by w/1080i...

Ok, just an observation here: I just got hooked up w/TWC Hd service to get Local HD, INHD (NBAHD) and TNT-HD for the upcoming playoffs. Using the Discovery Channel for comparison on my Samsung 360 and TWC's Pace DC-550 HD box it seems TWC HD is a tad bit better than D* as far as picture...

don't worry about Only my Tivo has ever touched a phone line... they just say that. I seriously doubt they could ever enforce that w/people moving away from lan based phones to cell phones etc... However must one think that in 7 yrs or so they may require a internet connection for various...

Since D* will be moving some channels to these new birds, will this mean they will have more bandwidth on their current birds, and hopefully decompress the signal on current channels? Thanks

I don't like caller ID either .. leave my tv alone!! :)

Well enjoy what's there and tweak your tv for best results.. that's what we all do..

#37? I guess that's decent, I wonder how long I will have to wait? Thanks.

I was thinking antenna.. oops.. Well I know I can get more hd but I'm also hoping that D* will start the Locals in hd but I don't think SA,TX is high up on the list so I may have to get a wineguard or something..I may wait until the fall to see where D* is at in that dept. I may add hd...

Does D* broadcast HD games for NBA TV on any particular channel? If not then I wonder why the guide on my Samsung 360 reciever list them as HD? Anybody plan on getting cable just to get more playoff games in HD? I would have to so I can get tnt-hd and maybe some local channels. (I don't plan...

Will D* replace non-Tivo HD recievers for free? They can't expect people to buy $300 recievers that will become useless in less than a year. :confused:

go w/D* I don't have a standalone Tivo but have D*Tivo and love it. If I'm missing features, I wouldn't know. As far as HD is concerned, I would give up universal HD in a heartbeat to get TNT-HD that E* offers. But it may be coming soon... hopefully.

what about the samsung SIR-S4040R?? Thanks!
