    Going HD...

    I'm a SD customer with 2 SD tivos, what would be a good deal from DTV for me to upgrade to 2 HD tivos? I am assuming I am grandfathered on the tivo fee. I am not under contract nor have received any goodies from direct in the last five years.

    Fox DN east feed (SD): what transponder?

    Thanks for the help - now I'm really stumped, both receivers show a 96/97 strength for TP30, yet one gets breakup (live and recording) on Fox, the other does not. Other DN record fine. I've been messing with DTV since the initial trials in MS and LA but this old boy be lost.

    Fox DN east feed (SD): what transponder?

    I have 2 sd tivos fed by separate dishes, one is having no problem with fox, the other is, the technical term I believe, is crap. I'm trying to see if I have a dish alignment problem small enough to be not readily apparent- the two dishes seem to be aimed the same, i.e., similar reading on...

    BBC America breakup at night

    SD- and I'm showing high 80s/90s on all transponders at time of problem- I think BBC A is on 32? I sometimes get breakup on my local for CW (NW Alabama) but other than that, not counting really bad rain, I get good reception. Tried to watch The Hour the other night and just gave up.

    Skipping Commerials - a viewpoint

    Me again... I was expressing two different viewpoints - 1) my doubts on the legality of third party automated removal of a portion of a retransmitted signal, and, 2) my fear if determined legal, hat the loss of revenue to the networks would probably impact production. And yes I use my DVR...

    Skipping Commerials - a viewpoint

    I know we would all like tv without them but we also know what pays the bills. Yes if you have a DVR you can skip commercials, you as the enduser control the situation. I do not believe that a third party, your tv distributor for example, has the legal right to do this for you. A kinda...
