    New Menu colors

    I also read somewhere, I think DBS Talk, that the white GUI will eventually be rolled out to H20 and will be the D* standard GUI

    HR20-700 - First Impressions

    I got my HR20 yesterday and one thing I have noticed is the improved pricture quality over the HR10. I am using th same TV (Panasonic Plasma 42 in HDTV) and the same HDMI canle and HD is a little better but SD is much better.

    H20 Replacement model

    I have a H20-100. I got it last July and have had zero problems and, for me, the OTA Tuner is far superior to the HR10. This is the tuner that I was saying in another threat gives me all the Raleigh-Durham and Greensboro HD locals OTA with no pixelation in any weather. From the souds of it, if I...

    Does anyone know why D* does not offer Neighboring Local channels for HD like they do for SD?

    Raleigh HD locals...no FOX..no CBS

    What I am trying to say is that if D* offered me Neighboring HD locals (CBS 2 and FOX 8) like they do for SD, then I would not need WRAL or WRAZ.

    Raleigh HD locals...no FOX..no CBS

    I just thought of something. I live in Chapel Hill zip code 27516 and for my SD locals, I get the Raleigh locals plus CBS 2 and FOX 8 from Greensboro. But for HD locals, I only get the raleigh locals minus WRAL and WRAZ. Does anyone know why D* does not have the neighboring locals for HD like...

    HD OTA Recpetion

    The H20 seems to produce a consistent 15-20% higher signal strength on all channels across the board. PBS is a different story I use have to use rabbit ears for it since I am 5 miles from the tower. The Winguard is too powerful for it. Like I said earlier, Used to get things fine on the...

    HD OTA Recpetion

    Thanks for the info. You mention a pre amp or signal booster. My external antenna is a Winguard Squareshooter 2000 which came with a amp. Can I add another one in or replace the one that came with the square shooter. I'm not sure how this works.

    HD OTA Recpetion

    I live in Chapel Hill, NC and have a HR10 and a H20 with the 5 LNB Dish. With the H20 I can get OTA locals from both Raleigh-Durham and Greensboro with no pixelation in any weather. Until last month, I could get the Raleigh-Durham locals on the HR10 with no pixelation in any weather. Ever since...

    New HR20 DVR Over The Air Turner

    At this time, the OTA tuner on the HR20 is disabled. It is my understanding that it will be enabled in the near future via software upgrade.

    Rewinding Live TV on the new HR20

    Sorry I posted this thread to the wrong area, should have put it in the DVR ares. Currently on my HR10 unit, I have a 30 minute buffer on each tuner. Which means I can watch live TV on both Tuners. Lets say I am watching 2 football games one on each tuner. I can watch tuner A and when a...

    I dont get anything on my D* bill referencing BellSouth. I do see the DirecTV phone number on my BellSouth bill though. LOL

    service through Bellsouth???

    If I follow your logic then I should see the discount applied on my next bill where they say Previous Bill amount then show what I paid to show the ballance of $0.00. But the amount of the previous bill is the same that the previous bill showed not $10 less. Do you follow me?

    service through Bellsouth???

    Upgrade Questions

    I just went throught the HD upgrade with D*. According to D* if you order a HR10-250 you get a 3LNB dish. I was told that the order system will not allow them to switch the dish on the order for the HR10-250. In order for me to get a AT9 with my HR10-250, I had to order the H20. Fortunately they...

    A List Customer ??

    My HD service was turned on July 12 and today I called D* to deactivate a old SD box, the CSR thanked me for being one of their A List Customers. Not sure what this realy means I did not get this last week when I called to order the new HD equipment. And now the only difference in my account is...
