    Just a Clue about ABC-HD on Directv

    My OTA antennae is in my attic, as it has been for 12 years. Maybe having a 12 year old antennae is the problem. All I can say is that I noticed a big difference watching Fox HD for the World Series and Monday Night Football on ABC HD. Actually, some of the best HD I have seen lately has been...

    Just a Clue about ABC-HD on Directv

    Just a comment. I live in Chicago and receive ABC HD via OTA. I was not impressed with Monday Night Football in Hi Def. No comparison to the World Series on Fox HD. I know that Fox was broadcasting in 780p, and my guess is that ABC must be broadcasting in 480i or 480p. I just wish I could...

    Switching to direct tv Questions

    Amazing. Even though I am not a current customer (until the install on Saturday) maybe I will call the customer retention people and see what I can swing. Would be awesome if they would substitute a DirectTivo receiver for one of the standard receivers. Does customer retention have a specific...

    Opinions/Thought/Input on my Dish System

    Agreed on staying with E* as opposed to changing to D*. I can see your point on the 811, my only thought being that I was also looking to add the DVR technology, as I have never enjoyed it previously.

    Opinions/Thought/Input on my Dish System

    Thanks to the two of you for responding. When you are a newbie, I am never sure if the post I make is considered proper or not. Any thoughts as to my problem receiving stereo audio signal from Dish? If I have my cable running, I can receive that in stereo, but nothing in stereo from Dish...

    Opinions/Thought/Input on my Dish System

    I am a newbie to this forum, but need some opinions. I have been a Dish customer for many years. I have a 4 room setup, and I purchased all the receivers (Three 301's and one older model). I have the America 150 package with locals, along with HBO. The older receiver does not work anymore...
