    Getting an HR-20

    I called retention to get my deal. The deal they offered me was $100.00 up front, but an immediate credit of $100 on my bill, which made it a net of $0. But when the installer did not show up when scheduled, they gave me another $100 credit to my bill. Then a week later when the installer...

    quick HR-20 question

    One little feature I liked about the TIVO based DVR, was if there was a game or other program, currently recording, I could hit the TIVO button before I turned on my TV, and therefore I would not see any spoilers. My question is, Is there any way to do this with the HR-20? I tried hitting...

    Getting an HR-20

    Well, I did get my new HR20 this past Saturday. I had been on a waiting list for about 2 months. The install went great. No problems. I was concerned because the installer was only able to get a signal strenght of around 75 on his meter. However he said that is very good. I guess he is...

    Getting an HR-20

    Hopefully, I will be getting my HR-20 tomorrow. Right now I have the HD Tivo based DVR (HR10 I believe). Is there a review of the HR-20 that compares features of the two DVR's? I would like to know what the non-tivo based unit can do that the TIVO can't, and vice-versa. Or is someone can...

    ABC HD in DFW Market

    I live in Slidell (76234). Which is about 12 miles northeast of Decatur. I live in the middle of nowhere, so there is absolutely no restrictions to putting up an antenna. I just thought that maximum range for an antenna was about 60 miles. I will have to check out the suggestions above.

    ABC HD in DFW Market

    Is there any way that I can get ABC HD through Direct Tv? I live 70 miles from the broadcast towers, so OTA is out of the question. I of course have been denied waivers from WFAA, even though I was granted waivers on all other stations. And wouldn't you know abc is the one station not...

    NFL Blackouts

    This is from an article I just read on SI.com. It sounds like to me, that there will be no more local black-outs next year. Maybe I am just dreaming. What do you think? The Dish On NFL Blackouts Great news for dish TV fans. In a blind fury because Sunday's Miami-Tampa Bay game was...

    NHL Center Ice Question

    Can someone tell me if there will be any games broadcast in HD if I subscribe to the Center Ice Package? I notice there is some games appearing on channel 95, but is that just because Center Ice is free right now? I tried calling a direct tv CSR but as usual they were clueless. :confused:

    Switch Box

    Is there an easy (and cheap) way to expand the 2 cables I have in my living room into 3? Outside of my house I am already using a 3-8 converter, and all my 8 lines are being used. I would like to be able to have 2 lines for my non-hd tivo, and an additional line for my HD Box. I would even...

    resolution setting on H-10

    My TV is a Mitsubishi 55" Rear Projection CRT. Sorry, but I can't remember the exact model number. When a 720 signal is sent to it, the screen starts flashing, and displaying all kinds of weird images. Similar to using a refresh-rate on a computer monitor that is not supported.

    resolution setting on H-10

    When I set up my box, I set the resolution on 1080i/480ip. I could not use native mode, since my tv does not support 720. Now when I switch between hd and non hd channels, I have to use the format button on my remote to choose the correct resolution. Is there a way to for the box to...

    About to get Voom

    I was about to get Voom. I called and talked to the CSR to order, but backed out at the last second. The reason for this is that I would have to commit to a 6 month contract without ever seeing what the quality would be like. Was the CSR correct in saying that there is no 2 or 3 day trial...
