    Selling HR10-250

    I'm sold mine on eBay last week for $265. Guess the user reports surrounding the stability of the HR20 drove up the price. Not a bad return on a box I bought a year ago for $99...

    Check on eBay. I just got an HR20 yesterday so I put my HR10-250 up for auction this morning. Last I checked, there were about 20 of them on there.

    Advice on DC Locals w/HD Tivo

    He would get 82 (NBC) and 88 (FOX) because those DC stations are O&O. To get CBS and ABC in HD, he would need an OTA antenna.

    DirecTV's Plans for 2006/2007

    Some of us don't have access to DSL or cable and are suffering with Direcway for $60/mo. I'd give my left arm for 5mbps...particularly if handles secure sites without getting bogged down like satellite internet.

    DirecTV & Echostar in talks

    Any idea what kind of speed we're talking about with a proposed offering like this? I've been suffering with Direcway since I moved to the boonies two years ago and would sure love something that's faster and more reliable.

    5 LNB Dish - DC area

    I'm out in Leesburg and got upgraded on the 27th. While they arrived 90 minutes late, it only took 1 hour and everything works great. Of course, I installed the two receivers while they swapped dishes, but it's all good. Best of luck with your install.

    5 LNB Dish - DC area

    I called yesterday and will be installed on the 27th (allegedly). They told me it would be $99 for the dish/receiver install and another $99 for my second HD box. When I informed the CSR that I would have to think about it and call her back, she offered me $120 credit. That still leaves me...

    5 LNB Dish - DC area

    Yikes. My DC locals come in okay OTA, so I thought I'd see how other DC installs go. Thanks for sharing, and good luck with the fine tuning.

    SatelliteGuys MPEG4 Contest!

    That made sense to me initially, and then I got to thinking about the problem we experienced with the 2004 Olympics when NBC broadcast "live" coverage on their SD channel and old events on their HD feed. I recall they mentioned something about a remedy to that issue for 2006...let's hope so if...

    W*USA (CBS) in DC and K*USA (NBC) in Denver are both broadcasting local news in HD if I'm not mistaken.

    New DIRECTV H20 MPEG-2/4 on sale

    So I'm in a top 12 DMA. What happens to our new MPEG4 STB's when the HMC comes out and we have to replace them with client boxes? Free swap with D* or purchase the clients and ebay the H20's? Or can the H20 double as the HMC client box? Forgive me if that's a stupid question - first post...
