    DIRECTV HDTV Owners: Want a Refund?

    When I converted from the glory days of C-band to E* years ago, I lasted about 9 months with E*. Their picture clarity was soft, the receivers were slow & customer service was just plain deplorable. While D*’s customer service isn’t that much better, they listen to complaints and most often...

    Moving to Denver

    Raymo: I've lived in the Denver area for years (Westminster now) and HDTV locals is very bad here. I purchased a $ 60 type antennae years back to get HD Denver locals but it was ineffective. I upgraded to the D* H20 receiver/new satellite configuration in August 2006 and the unit TOTALLY...

    Denver HD locals..

    I talked with a D* installer yesterday (we talked in a parking lot at nite) and he said he was actively installing the 5 LNB dish at Denver houses in anticipation of the Denver HD locals going live on May 1. I'm hearing we will receive the 4 networks (NBC, CBS, ABS and Fox) and Channels 2 & 20...

    Denver OTA

    I have tried a basic $ 20 Radio shack antennae with no success on getting a good HD picture for the Denver locals, so my only hope is D* having a special HD broadcast for the Super bowl. All that money spent for HD products and I can’t even watch the super bowl in HD-- and I will NOT go to...

    Denver OTA

    Does anybody know when D* will announce their plans for the conversion of the Denver local stations to mpeg4/HD?? I’ve heard late January is when they plan to start this conversion, which would make it nearly impossible to see the Super Bowl in HD on a D* system if you live in the Denver...

    Spaceway 2 Launch thread - It's up!

    I tried the OTA signal as it was basically worthless living in Arvada 10 milles from the weak downtown tranmsitters....and then you had to turn the antennae to get a very poor bad WB2 HD signal. The HD situation in Denver is real bad...with maybe 1 full time station to look forward too once...

    Spaceway 2 Launch thread - It's up!

    Great news on SW2 getting successfully launched and being fully operationally soon. Anybody know the status of the Denver market....i.e. what stations we could expect and what is the current time frame?? I'm assuming that the lack of progress in constructing the new Golden transmission...

    Denver Waivers - DENIED!!!

    I live in the Denver metro area (Westminster) and tried to receive the HD signal from the local network stations a year or so ago & it’s nearly impossible. The signal is weak at best and you almost have to move the antennae each time to pick up the signal. The tower situation on Lookout...

    ESPN HD Blacking Out Periodically - Anyone Else Experiencing This

    I've had this problem as well and it's very annoying. Then, when you turn the channel, it takes 4-5 seconds for sound & picture to show up on the screen. This all began for me when ESPN2HD started on ch. 72 a week or so ago. I called D* about it and of course, they said the problem was on my...

    The Superfan Travesty

    My turn for comments for the D* rip-off on the NFL Sunday Ticket. Having watched the ticket since c-band days, this is my first year of not having the NFL games. I did not have a problem with paying $ 199 but I was not going to pay a penny more for HD games that were free last year and...
