    Pixelizatin on ABC from DC

    Is anyone else experiencing pixelization on WJLA, CHANNEL 7? The Nascar race from Richmond is terrible at times and it is clear weather here. We have also noticed it during Good Morning America when the show goes outside to broadcast live from the park. Is this an ABC problem or my receiver...

    659 - FSN Pittsburgh

    Your zip code is in the Harrisburg, PA DMA and receives CSN Mid Atlantic and MASN. Your available baseball will be the O's or the Nats. I think you are receiving the Penquins on ch 659 because you sub to the NHL package. It looks like you can get the Pirates if you sub to sports pack. Check...

    Washington, DC S-U-C-K-S!!

    Using that logic, the Redskins don't count either. Both the University of Maryland at College Park and the Redskins are in Prince George's County. MD. For those not familiar with DC, Montgomery and Prince Georges counties in Maryland are considered part of DC and most residents consider it...

    Receiver constantly needs reauthorized

    Just got an update from my friend this morning. Directv arrived on October 10th to upgrade my friends receiver. The installer replaced the 3 lnb dish with the 5lnb HD dish and swapped out a regular receiver for a non DVR, HD receiver. Down to the basement room to activate the receiver and...

    Receiver constantly needs reauthorized

    I checked with my friend yesterday and the electrical outlet is not controlled by the light switch. He had to call Directv again on Wednesday regarding the problem. Partly in disgust, he upgraded this receiver to an HD receiver. They are coming on Saturday to do the install. Problem solved I...

    Unintelligible closed captioning on HD channels

    I have two H20-100 Directv HD receivers and neither one will display readable closed captioning while on an HD channel. The closed captioning is readble in most cases on the SD feed of the channel. I have a deaf son who depends on the captioning to follow some of the programs. Is the closed...

    Receiver constantly needs reauthorized

    Here's an update. The receiver is plugged in continuously and the cable to the satelite is never unhooked. He spoke to Directv last evening trying to resolve the problem. They just reauthorized his programming. He is probably going to upgrade to HD and swap out that receiver or go back to...

    Receiver constantly needs reauthorized

    A friend of mine has three Directv SD receivers hooked up to a three lnb dish. With two of the receivers there is no problem at all with reception. The third receiver needs to be reauthorized before each use. This receiver is only used sparingly. None of the receivers are hooked to a phone...

    Why dont I get all locals?

    Maybe you can subscribe to just the locals with Comcast. I believe they serve Columbia. By the way, the DC and Baltimore channels both cover different local news markets. The two don't mix, like oil and water.

    FOX Channel 5 Washington DC Pixelation

    I replaced the connection going from the coax to the bbc. You will want to make sure all of your connections are tight. If that doesn't fix the problem you might need your dish adjusted in better by a tech. Good luck.

    No pixelation noticed on channel 5, WTTG at my home. Try checking your connections first, I had a similar problem with channel 50, WDCW and that fixed the pixelation. Good luck.

    Loosing NY HD feeds next month

    No sir, I have done nothing illegal. I have been a customer since the Directv/USSB days. I received the east and west coast network feeds as part of my programming. There were no individual local markets available. When locals were added, mine are the DC locals, I received them for the extra...

    Loosing NY HD feeds next month

    Directv finally turned off my east coast HD feeds this morning. I still have the sd channels. Funny how the "leader in HD" keeps taking away my HD channels. First I loose the west coast HD feeds, then they take some of the original HD channels away and want to charge $5, now my east coast HD...

    Loosing NY HD feeds next month

    I have had the DNS locals since the USSB/Directv days. I received the HD feeds for NY and LA when they went live. The LA HD was removed some time ago. I am also served by the WashDC/Hagerstown locals in MPEG 4 HD. I really hate to loose the NY HD. For the time being I can keep the standard...

    Anyone in DC area having HD local issues?

    My DC locals have been coming in fine regardless of the weather. It sounds like your antenna may need a little adjustment to improve the transponder strength. My channels do not fade in the rain. Sorry I can't help with the DVR issue, I have H20's.

    I receive the standard definition NY / LA network feeds on channels 380 thru 389 and the HD NY feeds in the 80s. I also receive my local DC HD channels. I have been a Directv customer since the Directv/USSB days and am grandfathered in. They show up on my bill as Network XXX from NYC/LA...
