To address your points. 1. To get 3D content, they would have to go to the half-res stuff that you see on DirecTV and cable unless they change all the hardware. Otherwise, they are defeating their whole selling point of better quality (PQ-wise) content. 2. No interest in extras for me...

They also need IP control or RS232.

Thanks for answering, A couple of follow-ups. 1. Exactly how big and heavy is the dish? 1 meter is quite a bit larger than my original 18" DirecTV dish aimed at one orbital location. What is the exact cost? 2. Do the users' own media files integrate easily into the GUI? Artwork included?

I have a list of questions. 1. I don't see it listed on the starter packages, but am I correct to assume the satellite dish is included in the package? How about the peaking tool? 2. What is the cost to purchase extra receiver units - standard and pro? 3. What is the cost of extra hard...

When I received my "A-list" e-mail, I was given a number 1-800-353-4388. Has anyone tried this number? Is it similar to retention?

Have you tried resetting the receiver? I used to have that problem periodically with my old Samsung TS360. I would unplug it and restart it, and the channels would re-appear.

The holdup is with the parent company - Tribune. They haven't come to an agreement to carry any of their stations in HD. Possibly soon though.

or a HD version

From my understanding, the HD LILs have to be up and running before you get the HD RSN. I have HD LIL, but I don't have the HD RSN even though it is "available". They say it should be sometime over the next year. Has anyone had the opposite - no HD LIL but yes HD RSN?

Currently, no. However, if you can get a free install with upgrade of other equipment, you might consider it. I get higher signal levels than from my old 3LNB dish, so you might consider it for this reason. Otherwise, you could just wait.

Yes, there are three different light levels and off. It seems like it is about 100%, 98%, 96%, off. :D

That's why I asked. Are they supposed to send me return instructions? Is it my responsibility? I think that when I ordered, they said that the installer would take the old unit.

It's deactivated, does not show up on my profile.

I had 2 HR10-250s, one owned and one leased. I upgraded to 2 HR20s and deactivated the 2 HR10s. I still have both HR10s. They have not asked for the leased HR10 back yet. How long should I wait before I could assume it would be OK to keep/sell it.

I would not buy it. DirecTV will provide it to you if you require it.

What is a good online source for bulk RG6 cable and other supplies - connectors, splitters, diplexers, wall plates?

It's mostly for my wife's benefit. Most of the daytime viewing is in SD anyways. She tends to select channels by just entering the number. I would rather it default to the SD, so if she records, it uses less space. You might want to stretch to get rid of the black bars, feed native...

Thanks again. One last question. If I should need an amp, any recommendations?

Thanks. So what you're saying - should be able to keep existing antenna, maybe add an amp. What would be considered too long a cable run? I think for me, 2 would be about 30 feet, and one about 60 feet.

I was told by the D* tech that my OTA feed could not be split to feed my three receivers - would lose too much signal. I have the cheapo (Wingard Sensar I think) antenna that they installed. I am about 38 miles from the tower, and was getting signals in the 90s when hooked up to the...

What if we wanted it the other way - with SD first? I guess there is no way for us to change this.

I have had the same problem. Audio on the analog outputs for the HD MPEG2 channels only having this problem. MPEG4 HD seem fine. Audio through optical output also fine. I have 2 HR20s, and this is only happening on one of them. I am waiting for a replacement.

I'm not expecting a big improvement, hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised. It's taking about 2 seconds right now going through a Gefen DVI switcher to my TV. We'll see what happens with the VP50.

I'm still struggling a little with what to do here. My problem again is local FOX not being available in HD. I guess I can work with this setup for a couple of weeks until OTA is activated. The only MPEG4 I have available is the locals, no RSN HD here. I won't HAVE to use MPEG4 for anything...

I installed it this way yesterday. It works, but the receiver is not very "smart". There does not seem to be a good way to switch between tuners. If I try to tune a MPEG-4 channel, if it happens to be on the wrong tuner, I get a searching for satellite message. It takes some trial and error...
