We are live with HD locals in Ft Myers!!!!

I have same wording for my area...Ft Myers Florida.

Can anyone tell me the current software version for the H20? Mine still shows a date of July 2006 with version 0F14. But my other 2 standard receivers updated on 12/12/06. Thanks.

Below is what initiated my call to DTV, with the rep verifying the info and setting up the install upgrade: DIRECTV to Deliver Local HD Programming in 67 Markets by Year End Twenty Five More Local HD Markets Named; Approximately 74 Percent of U.S. Television Homes will have Access to Local...

I was told by DTV on the phone December 1st. Thats why they scheduled the slimline install for me. The installer just said realistically the early half of Dec.

About 2 months ago, DTV told me HD locals would be up in my area, Ft Myers Florida on December 1st. They even installed the new slimline 5LNB dish. I have the H20 receiver. The installer said look for it to be live in the first week or 2 of December. I sent a nice email to DTV asking if they...

I tried the antenna once...didn't work. I'm actually in Port Charlotte withen the Ft Myers viewing area. I'm probably too far for over the air.

OK, I have the 5lnb slimline installed and the H20 with the HD package. Was told by installer that HD locals will go live by mid December in Ft Myers FL area. When that happens, will the HD local channels be in the menu automatically?

Yea I agree. I'm in southwest florida.

It was never even brought up by the guy who came to my house and updraded me to the 5lnb slimline. He took the old one down, left it in my garage, and the new one went up. No charge.

reflector measurements 32 1/4 X 22 1/2.

reflector??? Be glad to. Is the reflector the dish itself? Or the lnb part? Sorry for my lack of technical savvy. It will have to wait until morning though. It's getting too dark to go up on the roof.

Slimline installed today The installer was out this morning and I was pleasantly surprised to see him installing the new slimline for my dish upgrade. Now all I have to do is wait until December for the Ft Myers FL locals to go live.

Installation I have an installer coming out Saturday to upgrade my dish the 5lnb. Is this slimline what I should expect?

DTV customer service told me HD locals would be up and running in early December for the Ft Myers market area. I have the H20 and subscribe to the HD package, however I'm still not clear if I will need the 5 lnb dish.

Understand now. Thanks. I will look into the links you provided. I appreciate it.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by DBS retrans. 33981 is in the Ft Myers locals area, WINK, NBC2, etc. I like that better than the Tampa stations which have nothing to say about Charlotte County. I just need to be educated more on this.

33981 Englewood area

well now you have me thinking. It's been awhile since I looked and priced. I remember seeing one at the Circuit City in Port Charlotte for over $100. Is there a certain quality or feature I should look for in an antenna?

And hurricanes don't have anything to do with it, or concern me for that matter. You have a better chance of getting hit by lightning in Southwest Florida than having a hurricane destroy your home. Plus it doesn't matter what part of the country you live. Midwest has tornados. West has fires...

Ft Myers/Naples I just don't want to go out and buy an over the air HD antenna if DTV will have it soon. I did change my service address to Tampa just so I could get the HD locals via DTV, but I missed the Ft Myers/Port Charlotte locals too much.

What about Ft Myers/Naples? I wish the Ft Myers/Naples area would start the HD locals too.

I spent $130 on the Samsung HD850. I think it is a great upconvert for the price. I noticed the difference right away. It comes with the HDMI cable in the box too.

Tampa...yes

I have the H20 and a 3 LNB DTV dish. If I buy a 5 LNB dish so I can get the locals in HD, is it an easy install/switch out that I can do myself? In other words, will I need to run any additional cable through my attic?
