    Here is the requirements for the free Upgrade to Mpeg4

    A couple of years ago "D" forced a decision on us to choose between our locals and the Distant networks. I chose the NY/LA stations because they were in HD. Now it appears, baed upon the five criteria for free upgrade that "D" shot me in the foot. I have not spoken to anyone about this...

    My Sabbatical From "D"

    Directv Has Reclaimed My Locals

    I don't doubt your veracity on the law. However, I must question a law that denies one the opportunity to have a viewable tv signal. I cannot receive reception in my area at all...even analog unless I was using a 60 ft antenna with rotor. Those antennas are ruled out because of covenants.

    Directv Has Reclaimed My Locals

    A couple of months ago D* sent many of us a letter asking us to make a choice between our locals and the national feed for CBS/Fox ( I never was able to get ABC/NBC due to some legalese). I opted to take the National feed because it offered HD programming and I am able to get my locals from...
