From what I saw when the Verizon tech came, it is fiber right to the ONT on the outside of my garage. Then converted to COAX for distribution inside the house.. I have the basic 25/25 service & it is, indeed, wonderful.

I had not thought of Tivo. May have to give that a look.

This is in Riverview so Hillsborough County.

mdavej, I want the superior equipment. I had Comcast when I lived in Atlanta & have cable cards myself. It was integrated into a fairly robust WIN7 Media system (with 13.5T of network storage). As a nerdy bachelor in a two client apartment (one dedicated Home Theater PC & one XBOX-360) this...

WOOHOOO, after almost 7 years in the (cable) desert, I'm coming back home to D*. House is in the Tampa Bay suburbs. I want FiOS internet & D* for whole-home HD TV service. Is this going to work right out of the box or am I gonna have to get some custom (read segregated) wiring to get this...

Hmm I see that Atlanta is not on that list, but last evening at a Best Buy in McDonough, GA a young (D* rep?) told me not once, but 3 times (becuase I kept asking) that the special he was pushing included a "base station (his words) that could record up to 5 separate shows at the same time &...

Thanks for the qujick replies.

Hello, a friend of my recently got a new house built & decided to use Dish as this was (they felt) the best deal at that time. She has 5 HDTV's & would like HDTV service at EACH location. As far as I can tell, this is what was told to Dish at time of order. What they got was on 722 & 2 other...

I'm going to be doing the same thing. Been in the Comcast wilderness for almost 3.5 years. I can almsot taste that sweet, sweet, D* goodness now. :D wow, it's been a while since I posted here. Need to change my sig....

It is happening to me right now. One of my 2 HR20-700's won't do anything but turn off! :) I don't know how I am going to opt out of MRV because I can not get ANYTHING TO COME UP ON THE SCREEN. :( The other HR20-700 is just fine & MRV playing still works fine from content on my...

That was the second video I ever saw, when the cable company turned MTV on. The first video was We're the Kids in America. This was fall of 80 I believe.

Hmmm, since I am at work & this is the first I am hearing of this, I think I will just schedule a recording. That ought to do the trick of updating, eh :up *Edit Well I chickened out after I read some more responses in this thread. I reauthorized both of my HR20-700's & then set my Bedroom...

Thank you dfergie. Been looking for some pics all morning. I can't wait to get home tonight.

This has been released to a select few CE'rs for a while now. It is generally viewed as the precursor to MRV <---- D* NEEDS TO GET ON THE BALL & GET MRV OUT THE DOOR NOW!!!!!!!! as well as some new HD Channels :)

Ok I have been listening to you guys for several months now. I have always found you guys to be well reserved & never ones to go for hyperbole of any type. I must say I was a little chagrined when I heard the emphasis that you used in describing D's 1080p as being as good as Blu ray. I will...

Me three. I saw some highlights of the Pocono Nascar race on ESPN. Looked pretty good, but not great. Then I actually caught a few minutes of the race as it was being rerun on HDNet. Freaken' Amazing!

WOOOHOOO i hope

ScoBuck, are you gonna offer a mini review (comparison to D*)?

Don't forget FiOS. It looks like for a week or two they are going to be the leader in HD channels delivered). At least until D* gets whatever new channels we are getting up & going.

That is what I was thinking too. 3 months seems awful long. In light of the troubles with E*, I would think that D* would actually redouble their efforts.

WHOOPS! I completely forgot about this thread. It was the El Cheapo 9 dollar power strip from Wally-World. It has two F-type IN & OUT so I had the cable from the wall going to it. I (just happened to) change my equipment rack from a Kenwood stereo cabinet with a glass door (circa 1991) to a...

Well it happened again. Tuner 1 just starting pixelating on CNNHD & then the picture just froze. Changed to another good channel (tuner 2) & then back to 206 & black screen wtih searching for satellite. So I swapped out the Zinwell right then & there. Rebooting as I type. I hope this...

Sorry for the no replies. I bought a new Zinwell on eBay for 24 bucks. It just came yesterday. As I am working from home today, I will run up to the attic this afternoon & swap it out. Now of course, as soon as I ordered this thing I have not had the problem. Mr. (reverse) Murphy at work...

My Setup: Two HR20-700's & 3 SD boxes. Sympton: One tuner (1 or 2 does not matter) loses all transponsders every night; Temp Fix: reset box OR got to ant page & look at all the 0's on all 5 birds. Come out of ant readings & wait for the tuner that is working to "switch over". Resetting the...

The one at 11pm today? I just checked the online scheduler, & it does not show it as being HD.
