I finally broke down and bought an LCD TV. It's a 51" Samsung. I like it but I am having trouble adjusting the picture to my liking. I have have an HD Directv receiver. I can tune into a channel such as ESPN and adjust the brightness, contrast and color saturation to my liking, but when I change...

I got the HD GUI update and it's great, except for one thing. My Directv apps no longer work. Now I am getting a "No Internet detected" error message when I try to load the apps. It worked great before the GUI update. Apparently the update broke it. I tried rebooting my H-21 receiver and it...

I just had HD equipment installed here in Elko, Nevada and to my surprise I found out that my local channels from Sal Lake City are not in HD. The installer said that the HD spot beam for the SLC locals does not reach here. If I lived closer to Salt Lake City I could get the locals in HD, but...

You have room for scores of shopping channels. And yes I know that they pay you to carry those shopping channels. But you are making millions of dollars and you have put through a price increase. So couldn't you find some way to add Al Jazeera? There are historic events happening as we speak...

It's about time. I am sick and tired of the varying volume levels that I get on Directv, and of course it is a problem with other services as well. Now they need to pass a law requiring that color intensity be the same on all channels. I am also sick and tired of having to adjust the color...

Drifting satellite threatens U.S. cable programming - Space- msnbc.com This is big. I'm not sure if this has been posted elsewhere on this site. If so the mods can delete it. It looks like a lot of our favorite channels might be in trouble, such as Fox News, ESPN, Syfy, HBO, Encore and...

According to the D* website, with the package I have subscribed to, I am supposed to get channel 807, Rat Pack. But on all three of my receivers it's says that channel is not available. There are at least a couple of other missing music channels as well, but Rat Pack is the one I miss because I...

They keep calling me from 877-203-0461. I did a reverse lookup and found out it's Directv. I tried to find on their website how to opt out of calls but couldn't find out. I'm a D* subscriber. I don't need them bothering me.

I am supposed to be able to get HGTV with the Choice Extra package that I subscribe to. I have two receivers. I can get the channel with my D-10 receiver, but when I try to tune it in with my other receiver which is a D-11-500, I get a searching for satellite message on the HGTV channel. I get...

There are twelve channels broadcasting digital OTA signals in my area. (Elko, NV.) All but one of them are low power translators. According to the FCC's website they are all 1 kw. We have one so-called full power station but it is only 1.5 kw. All of the translators are only about three miles...

I have searched the D* website and can't seem to find an answer to this simple question. You connect an external antenna to the external antenna in jack on the back of the converter box. Then what? How do you tune in over the air channels with the D* box once the antenna is connected to it...

When I connect a passive rabbit ears antenna to my digital TV I get a lot of channels, but on most channels I get pixalization, and sometimes the channels cut in and out. I think I need a better indoor antenna. I cannot use a rooftop antenna. Can anyone recommended a good indoor antenna...

IMO it's ripoff and it's greedy. Look at Cablevision. They don't charge even a dime extra for HD equipment or programming. Cablevision Adding 15 More HD Channels - Across entire market by August 1 - dslreports.com

On about one quarter of my channels I am getting a searching for satellite message. On the rest it's OK. Does anyone know what's going on? It's that way on all four of my outlets. Rebooting the receivers doesn't fix it. Thanks, John

Will all of that bandwidth from the new bird be used for HD? What about those of us who don't have and can't afford HD sets, not to mention the extra fee that D* tacks on for getting HD? Can we get something out of this too?

I am sick and tired of having to adjust my TV's volume level almost every time that I change channels. Why can't D* provide us with all of their channels at the same volume level? I know that a home user can buy some hardware which will automatically adjust volume levels between stations. Why...

As I write this the D* forum has 61 participants and the E* forum has 151. And that is pretty par for the course as far as I can tell. Almost every time that I log on the D* forum has less than E* does. My question is, since D* has several million more subscribers than E*, why is the D* forum...

I just got a Magnavox 15MF400T LCD TV for my bedroom, and it works fine except that I can't get the Directv universal remote control to operate it. The D* receiver's on screen instructions list four different codes for Magnavox TV's, but none of them work. Then I used the on screen instructions...

I have searched the D* website high and low and nowhere can I find what the price of the Sports Pack is. Unless I made a mistake and missed an obvious link, I think it's very wrong of them not to tell me how much it costs. They say how much the premium movie channels cost, but why don't they say...

I have the audio out jacks on the back of my D10 receiver connected directly to a pair of powered speakers. I have a mono TV but this way I am still able to get stereo sound. It sounds great but the only way I can figure out how to control the volume on those speakers is by manually turning the...

I have received conflicting information on this. A local retailer has told me that all of my Diectv receivers have to be connected to a phone line, and if that's the case I guess I'm dead in the water. I don't have a land line. I only use cellular for phone service and I get my Internet through...

I have had Charter analog cable TV service for a few months here in Elko, Nevada and I have been satidfied with it. I get a good picture considering it's analog, even on my 46" inch screen. Where I used to live in California I had Comcast and some of the channels there had video noise such as...
