    something fishy going on with dtvs signal, older receivers and e-86s going bad

    Not sure repairing it is worth the money with the mpeg4s coming out. I tried to get dtv to give me an H10-250, since I am beyond my subscription obligation. They offered it to me for $250, as a lease! I know this has been discussed in morbid detail in this forum, and I am not trying to turn...

    That sucks. When I bought it, 2 1/2 years ago it was far from cheap!

    something fishy going on with dtvs signal, older receivers and e-86s going bad

    For some reason I feel the need to chime in here. I have a Sony SAT300 and I am getting some channel loss too. On my Sony I have all but lost channels 70, 71, 75, 78, and 79. 72, 73, 76, and all my ota channels come in fine. I have an H10 in another room which gets every channel perfectly...

    Looking for a Good Technician in the Northern VA area

    I use Consumer Antenna, started by two guys who worked for Fairfax Antenna. Give them a call and ask for Dave or Matt. Matt installed my HD dish and OTA and does an awesome job. I've recommended them to several friends, all of which were happy customers. These guys know what their doing...

    You can only lease ONE HD DVR per year now

    I called customer retention yesterday to gripe about my SAT300 that has now gone bad. I paid $699 for it 2 1/2 years ago when it was new, and now I only get half the HD channels on it. I refuse to pay $1 for another receiver since I have bought 2 HD mpeg2 receivers and they are now moving to...

    HD Upgrade

    HD-Source, thanks for your post. I am guessing the CSR's have been instructed to give this information out since it sounds similar to what I was told. I'm implying from your post that the first gen H20 will also need the firmware update. Is that correct? This leads the question then, what is...

    H-10 install ?

    The H10 just went on sale at Curcuit City for $199 so make sure wherever you get it you don't pay more. My guess is the H20 is coming out soon and thats why the price just got cut $100.

    HD Upgrade

    No, but I can put up with SD for a month until the H20's come out in the beginning of Sept. I guess I should say IF they come out in Sept.

    HD Upgrade

    I bought an H10 a little under a month ago (as an add on receiver for a new bedroom HD set) with the understanding it would get upgraded to the H20 as well. When I spoke to the CSR today he specifically said that the newer H10's could be upgraded with a software download and would not require a...

    HD Upgrade

    If you have an H10 box this applies to you, although I am not sure this CSR knew what he was talking about. I just got off the phone with a CSR who indicated that the H10 boxes will be sent a software upgrade so that they will be compatible with the mpeg4 format coming out at the end of the...
