    Will Nfl.net Have Hd For D By November¿

    Ya know, I actually think there missing out on the opportunity to add viewers. On a weeknight with nothing on, I'd love to be able to flip over to NFLHD if they're replaying games or showing Game of the Week or, well, anything NFL related in HD. I'm actually surprised NFL Network hasn't forced...

    Mastec question

    I'm in Columbia, MD (between Balt and DC) and Directv can't install my HR20 until mid-Oct. I'm only switching out receivers, so I was hoping to get a hold of my local office to see if they'll just swing by and sign off that they installed it. I called D* and got the home office number. How do...

    Sunday Ticket HD Games

    Man I hope that's right and it's not the Ravens game like my guide says. You can see the guide here http://directv.com/DTVAPP/epg/theGuide.jsp?tz=e&l=1&dma=512&z=21044&c=24027&ct=&hc=1&sp=n&sd=a&d=253&h=15 And it's showing the Ravens on channel 725 as part of Superfan. Ugh.

    Sunday Ticket HD Games

    No, D* carries them all. There is a discrepancy in the guides right now, with hdsportsguide.com showing the Broncos game in HD and my D* guide showing that it will be the Ravens. One of those games will be in HD and one will be in SD. We'll see where CBS wants to take their cameras. I think...

    Sunday Ticket HD Games

    Sorry, but it was definitively without doubt a fact that Fox shows 6 games in HD and CBS shows 3. While a vast majority of Fox games are in HD, there was no point that they showed all games in HD if they had more than 6 on any given Sunday. Here is the direct quote from foxsports.com: Fox...

    What Happened to HD Games on NFL Network?!

    That's a pretty big damn grain of salt. The fall-out that would ensue if NFL ST/SF subscribers couldn't get NFL Network HD games would be tremendous. That just doesn't make any sense. He probably meant they were exclusive last week, until someone else added it.

    ESPN Monday Night Football is Not so good

    I have no gripes with the PQ. However, they have GOT to take that stupid scoreboard out of the center of the screen!!!!

    HR20 - Release in August (LA to be the first)

    How often you get asked that? I know I asked a couple months ago. You really should try to remember!!

    HD Games on NFL Network Spotted!

    I don't think it'll be there. Not on my guide- says the Yanks game, where they usually put Sunday's EI baseball game. Oh well. Some's better than none.

    HD Games on NFL Network Spotted!

    No, it's MPEG2, but interestingly enough when you hit 'info', it calls is NFL Sunday Ticket. Anyone out there able to get these games that DOESN'T have NFL Sunday Ticket? Seems to me this is part of the NFL Network, and anyone who gets NFL Network and HD should get these games (I believe). bp

    HD Games on NFL Network Spotted!

    Yeah, how 'bout that? I guess the hd symbol in the guide for 212 was to just remind us to switch to 95? Weird.

    HD Games on NFL Network Spotted!

    All games that show up as being in HD on the NFL Network schedule are in fact in HD, but interestingly enough are on channel 212 (the SD channel). The first HD game is at 3 am with the 49ers, and the replay of the Jets at 10 AM is the second HD game of the schedule. I'm surprised to find it on...

    NFL Network HD Preseason

    The NFL Network is broadcasting 18 games in HD during preseason. It'll be interesting if D* puts these games on one of the channels in the 90's. I mean, D* is supposed to be the home of the NFL, right? It seems wrong that E* would be showing HD NFL games that D* doesn't.

    HR20 - Release in August (LA to be the first)

    FWIW, retention told me fall "meaning Sep or Oct". However, she also confirmed that it's going to be a straight-up swap-out. At least, she confirmed that AFTER looking at my account. Maybe it has something to do with hearts??

    AT-9 install ... Baltimore

    Haven't had even one problem here. In fact, I've been overly impressed with every installer that's come out (I've had them come three times for different changes, installs, and whatnot). Can't remember the contractor group though. Hey, let me know if you get pixelation on the MPEG 4 channels...

    DirecTivo HR10-250 Blowout!

    Pixellation of DC HD Locals

    Seriously, the pixelation is worse than the occasional multipath drop I used to get from my OTA. I'm actually watching that more now. Have to say that I'm a big D* apologist, but I'm pretty disappointed in this. My wife has put up with a lot (and I keep telling her to wait, it's going to get...

    "secret ebay info on HR10-250"

    Thanks for posting that johnml. I was curious as well. Everyone here needs to remember that there are millions of satellite customers, but less than 50k of them are satguys.us members. I bet that are quite a few people paying him the 5 bucks for this info. Interesting thought ;)

    DirecTivo HR10-250 Blowout!

    Not that I know of. I tried and they wouldn't do it. However, the first CSR I had talked to, who would only give it to me for $299, said she could have it shipped. The second CSR, that gave me the deal, said the system wouldn't allow her to just ship it to me. Interesting, I thought.

    DirecTV Announces Next 24 Markets to Receive HD Locals!

    Yup, all four, even though my installer told me ABC wasn't going to be uplinked. A LOT of pixelation while watching Lost. Other people have this problem that have been uplinked for awhile, or is it just because this is new and they haven't worked out all the kinks?

    New superfan small print

    Look at the new offer for NFLST and SF. At the bottom, in small print, it now says that to access sf that a phone line is REQUIRED (and yes, it is all capitalized like that). What do you make of that? That's definitely new. I'm one of those nerds that habitually reads all small print I find.
