I live in metro NY and have been using channels 80, 82, 86 & 88 for CBS, NBC, ABC & FOX in HD. I discovered yesterday that my old channels (those I grew up using) 2, 4, 5 & 7 are also in HD not SD. Has anyone else witnessed this, know anything about this or should I make an appointment with...

Is the satellite at 110* going to be phased out once the new satellite's are up and running? I get pitiful signal strengths in the 50s for that satellite and 90s for the others on a Slimline 5LNB in NY. I do have some neighboring trees that must be blocking that particular satellite.

Is anyone else in the NYC metropolitan area been having NBC-HD signal problems? Either the audio drops, picture scrambles or both every ten minutes or less. No problems on any other channels so I'm blaming NBC. :eek:

Is there a reliable source/ web site where one can find the most recent firmware update versions or should I just assume that my H20-600 and HR20-700 get the latest versions automatically?

Why in the world would the picture be broken up on channel 95 (Angels vs. Rangers) on one set (with a SONY HD receiver) and not on another (with a HD-DVR) at the same time?:confused:

Is it normal for the H20 be warm even when turned off? The Sony it replaces was not like this at all.

Had to twice call the BS "Priority Wait List" for an HD-DVR. Never heard back from them. Ordered one directly with a human operator two weeks ago. Never heard from an installer. I called today 1/19 and soonest installation appointment I could get is 4/2! There must one man in an old truck doing...

WIll I need to pay any installation fees for having a HD DVR installed? Have you?

Does anyone know with certainty the diameter pipe I need to buy for a 5LNB dish installation? Is it diameter the outside diameter or inside the pipe diameter? For my 3LNB I was able to use a piece of standard galvaniced anchor fence post but that's less than what I think I'll need for...

So I call DirecTV and ask about getting one of these new HD-DVRs and I'm told they are a hot item and give me a phone number to get on a 'Priority Call List.' Wonderful. How long have people been waiting or have waited for their HD-DVR to arrive?

Anyone get a recent good deal on one of these units? I already have the overpriced DirecTV HD Package and a Sony SAT-HD200 receiver and have nothing bad to say about it but am ready to enter the HD-DVR world! AM I better off getting it through DirecTV or getting it elsewehere? I don't need a...

If I already have the HD Package (bedroom) would I have to pay for it twice each month (like you currently do with additional boxes) if Santa brings me a new HD set for the family room?

Does the satellite from which SOME HD channels (HD-NET, ESPN-HD, etc.) come off of vary or change? I've been away on vacation and now can't get a signal from certain HD channels but could 2-3 weeks ago. I do get all the network HD channels though and Dicovery-HD as an example. :no The...

I've never had a DVR before but am interested in an HD-DVR. I have been a DirecTv customer for a few years and have subscribed to their "wonderful" HD package for about a year and a half. What are some good deals some of you have been able to achieve?

Was up the roof today adjusting my dish and am pulling in high 90s for Sats A & B. Problem is only about a 50 for Sat C. Channels 74 and 86 come in all broken up thus obviously coming from Sat C. This problem is most likely caused by a neighbor's tree (no signal problems in winter months) and...

Does anyone have the knowledge (which obviously I don't) to help me figure soemthing out? I currently have a Zector HDS4 switcher that has a pass through rate of 100Mhz. I am looking at (finally) buying a surround sound stereo receiver to compliment my plasma screen. The two models I'm down to...

Anyone know if the soon to be released SONY HD-DVRs (DHG-HDD250 and the DHG-HDD500) work with DirecTv or are they just for those unfortunate cable subscribers? I do think the feature with these units of NOT having to subscribe to TiVo is a good thing.

Am I correct that there is currently only one HDTV-DVR available for DirecTv viewers (the Hughes model from DirecTV HR10-250)? Anyone know of any plans for additional/ similar models any time soon? Thanks for the input.

Why is it that channel 80, CBS-DT, goes dead at midnight?

When will DirecTv be adding more HD channels? Any timeline on any additional local HD broadcasts via DirecTv (other than the CBS I'm getting now)?

Any ideas why just my signal for ESPN HD would be breaking up but no other channel? I'm getting an 84 signal strength for Sat A, 82 for Sat B and a low 32 on Sat C. Wouldn't other channels be effected? :confused:
