Today, locals for ABC, CBS, NBC (Channels 12, 6, 4) in Beaumont, Texas became available. At the moment, only SD not HD.

For those interested, the word I have from D* is that locals for the Beaumont/Port Arthur areas of Texas will be available on or around 17th October 2007.

Is it true that DirecTV and Tivo have maintained and will maintain a relationship that could result in a DVR based on TiVo technology, that would be able to handle MPEG4 HD?

Is there an HD version of PBS Channel 384 available?

I don't know if this is a new topic or not - if not I apologize. For the last several weeks, the sound on channel 82 has been dropping out as frequently as several times a minute. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? What is going on? Thanks. jammy.

NBC apparently say they could not afford the expense of setting up all the necessary equipment to show Wimbledon in HD. BUT.... As the BBC is already showing Wimbledon in HD, surely all that would be required would be to convert the British PAL HD signal into American NTSC HD! That doesn't...

I've been searching on the internet to see if NBC plans to show this year's Wimbledon in HD. From what I've seen, it looks as though the transmission will be in SD only. Can anyone confirm this one way or the other? Thanks.

Even though I last had cable TV about 7 years aga and have never had E*, I would still rate D*'s service as high as 8/10. Yes, I still want more HD and better HD quality and yes I have had technical problems that needed fixed (some fixed well, some fixed not so well). Yes, I am still waiting...

I set my DVR to record a National Geographic HD preview on Channel 98. When I got home to check, no recording. What is going on? Thanks.

Does anyone know if the upcoming English FA Cup Final will be broadcast in HD?

Here's the deal. I recently moved to Beaumont, Texas from DFW, Texas. Because no local channels are available here, I thought at last that I would qualify to get Channel 86 - ABCE. I called DTV and lo and behold! - instead of getting Channel 86 added, I ended up losing Channels 80, 82 &...

I used to live in the DFW area of Texas and now I am in Beaumont, TX. Does anyone have any information on availability of local channels and OTA HD channels in this area? Is it even worthwhile trying to set up an antenna to get any OTA stuff, or are all the HD channels based...

I have a D* receiver (HR10-250). Will such a receiver (or any D* receiver) work if the input signal is Dish or Cable?

Does anyone have any information as to when Fox Soccer Channel (FSC - Ch. 613) will start broadcasting English soccer games in HD? I believe that they are doing so in England on one of the Sky HD channels. Are they going to make the switch here in the U.S.? P.S. Another 'WONDERFUL'...

A number of questions: 1 - Do you think that D* actually has someone that reads this and related forums? 2 - What is the best way to influence what D* does? Is it through forums, emails, letters, canceling D*subscriptions, what? 3 - Whatever the best way is of getting an opinion to D*...

I am interested in knowing what the plans are for everyone changing to 100% HD transmissions. I know there is some Government deadline, but is everyone going to wait until that arrives before switching? I am particularly interested in programs shown nationally on CBS, NBC, etc. (which have...

I posted earlier regarding not being able to pick up most digital OTA signals in the DFW area of Texas. I have a DirecTV HR10-250 satellite receiver. Previously, the only major digital station I was able to get with my 'old' antenna was 8-1 (ABC). When I tested signal strength a couple of...

The more comments I read about this new HD-DVR, the more apprehensive I become! My new unit is going to be installed on October 2nd. I wish that all people who produce hardware (& software!) would stop shipping out stuff with so many problems (but I know that's the way it is!). The only...

Here's my situation (2 questions): 1) I have an attic antenna in Grapevine, Texas (zip 76051). I don't know what brand or model it is and it's awkward to get to. I have a DirecTV HR10-250 receiver. The HD channels of interest to me are 4-1, 5-1, 8-1, 11-1 and 13-1. 4-1 is on frequency...

Items 1-6 are about my 'new HD-DVR' deal and item 7 is about HD channels. 1)I called D* Retention today and I got what I thought was a great deal. For $99, they will send me an MPEG4 HD-DVR. Actually they couldn't give me this deal in a straightforward manner - they will bill me $299 total...

I tried to get in touch with D* Retention Dept. using a number I found in this forum. The number I used was 1-800-600-8977. However, this is no longer a valid number. The message redirected me to 1-800-531-5000. I got through to the recorded voice, but it didn't seem as though it was...

The deal they are offering at D* website is an upgrade for $299. 4 questions: 1 - Would a call to Retention do any good to try to lower this price? Apparently I'm one of their best customers. 2 - The installation includes something like 150 feet of coax cable. Does this mean they...

This new DVR - I presume it will not have Tivo, but will it have all the Tivo capabilities, like on my current HR10-250? Please excuse me if this has been asked/answered before. Thanks.

I have an OTA antenna in the roofspace and I can only get the ABC station in HD. I cannot get NBC, CBS or PBS. I'm pretty sure that the problem is the direction that the antenna is pointing in. Should it be possible to pull in all OTA HD channels, or will I have to install one or two...

Is the problem with HDLite going to disappear when D*'s new satellites come on line? Thanks.
