I've seen DVD players with component out before I ever saw DVD players that supported progressive scan. Component video does help with 480i. Even on my 20" TV in the bedroom I notice a difference in color and sharpness using component over s-video. The TV is a Toshiba 20AF41 Standard Def...

Hi, I have an additional OWNED receiver D11 that I would like to add to my account. I currently just have an R15 activated. My understanding is that all receivers activated now will show up as leased unless you specifically tell them that you owned it before March 1. I wanted to make certain...

I hope they rule in DirecTV's favor. We don't need this garbage on the air 24/7 wasting precious bandwidth. I can understand networks airing paid programming late at night when not many people are watching, to get a little extra cash. If your going to base nearly 100% of your airtime to "paid...

I noticed these on ebay a couple days ago, anyone know if they are any good? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5865254465

Now that the lease program has started, can you walk into a bestbuy, grab a reciever off the shelf, pay cash at the register and walk out the store no questions asked? I was able to do this several times before the lease program started. I imagine now they might make you signup in store.

Hi I just recently got an R15. Working in the computer industry I know HDs can and WILL fail. I've noticed that it seems the R15 leaves the HD running 24/7, recording or not recording, standby or on. This HD will fail sooner or later. Does anyone know if I were to make a "forensic quality"...

Yea I see that the compression fittings are about the same price, aside from having to purchase a compression tool. The tool isn't too expensive though. I've used the screw ons before when I installed my OTA antenna many years before getting DirecTV, and never had issue with them, so I...

I used screw on connectors when I originally installed DirecTV with a D10 about a year and a half ago. About 3 weeks ago I upgraded to a R15 and had to run another cable run. I also used screw ons for that run. I get good signal 95+% on most transponders, but I noticed corrosion in one of the...

Can you guys recommend some good quality RG-6 connectors? Like the quality of the threading of the screw barrell. Ive had some cheaper cables that are just hard to turn or bind up on the connector, and others that go on nice and easy. The barel on the connectors that our local cable company...

Goto the setup, and run a system test where it will test the phone line for connectivity. I had a D10 which was not connected to the phone line. When i went to replace it with a R15 I needed to get the ordered PPV movies off the card incase that caused any issue during the transfer. I did that...

Heres a question I haven't noticed if it was answered already. If i purchase a reciever today 02-27-06, then activate it after march 1st. Will that reciever be concitered a purchased reciever, or a leased reciever?
