    The Next HD locals to launch?

    It is nice to see more folks getting their locals in HD. I have had my locals for a couple of years now and was curious if they plan on adding the CW or PBS in HD...as any of these new markets getting more than the standard ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX? Just wondering...

    DirecTV2PC Issues & Feedback

    I have been testing this on my laptop for the past week. I can only view SD based on my laptops ability. It is nice to view some SD while working in my office at home on my laptop, otherwise I watch HD in the basement on my home theater set-up. Things have worked great until just recently...for...

    DirecTV2PC Issues & Feedback

    Well SD works like a charm. HD is stuttering so bad it is not watchable. If I hit pause and wait for a few minutes the HD works fine for about a min then starts stuttering again. I am assuming my DSL connection is too slow for the HD part.

    Tivo or HR21xxx?

    I have never used a TiVO before but was a previous E* 622 user and now a happy D* HR21 member. One thing I do miss with E*'s 622 (not sure if this 622 specific), the guide showed episode numbers for listings making it easier to see how many episodes were aired. An example would be a mini-series...

    RSN Question

    I got the sports pack for the upcoming college football as well. If most of them are blacked-out then I will cancel it immediately. I have no need for all of those extra channels if they do not give me much to watch.

    Voom on Direct

    I enjoyed VOOM when I was an E* customer, but have now been with D* since mid-April. When I first got VOOM with E* it was great...Monsters HD was the best. The past 6 months though, VOOM was repeats over and over again...not much new content. Monsters HD would have the same two shows over and...

    What HD channels are coming?

    I am awaiting Chiller HD and Travel Channel HD, the rest will just be a bonus for me. Don't get me wrong, D* has so much more quality HD than E* and getting more HD just makes thing better. Love watching BSG on SCIFIHD.

    The "Just switched to D*" bandwagon

    Well I made the switch last month, the 21st of March was my installation date. The install went great and only took them about 1.5 hours. What made me switch was the following reasons: ScifiHD, SpeedHD and MGMHD (already have recorded many programs on my DVR) Promotions in price for a year...

    HD Audio Drop Out New Install

    I had my equipment installed on March 21, 2008. I have both the H21-100 and the HR21-100, new with the bbc's and the slimline 5 lnb dish. I have just recently noticed when watching HD programming I am experiencing some audio drop outs. I was watch StarzHD and during the movie there were audio...

    3 New HD Channels Added.

    Nice to see new HD again. I switched from E* to D* March 21st and watching HD seems to be a whole new experience again. Thanks D*. My two boys are going to love the Disney HD additions and now I might actually watch ESPNews for once. I used to only watch sportscenter since it was in HD. I seem...

    Is this Tomorrows new HD list?

    I also noticed on D*'s HD page in the scroll animation there is chillerHD, Outdoor2HD, MTV2HD, DisneyHD, ToonDisneyHD, BETHD and ESPNewsHD...hopefully this is for tomorrow. I just hate April Fools Day for news!!!! Never know what is actually correct or a joke. In my opinion this is not a joke...

    HR21-ALL CE Release Tuesday 4/1 ONLY - No Joke

    Well I am also new to D* from E* and ran the update on both of my receivers which appears to have worked successfully. My question is also regarding software updates. I have the HR21-100 and the HR21-100 DVR. I notice when I go to the settings and Info&Test on the setup screen it shows the...

    So who is subscribing to NFL ST+SF next year?

    Wow now that I have D* this is an actual option. I am undecided since I work most Sundays (from home though, nice benefit), also I am in Utah which doesn't have a pro team. It might be worth it so I can actually watch my 49er's and not just see their scores (losing for the most part, oh well...

    Potential DirecTv sub - Quality of HD?

    I have had D* for just over a week now and do notice a difference in PQ on the HD channels over the SD. The HD channels both D* and E* have are very similar for me, but the channels like NICK HD which appears to not broadcast many HD shows as of yet, does look much better than the SD version...

    1 More day until new HD channels!

    Well Fios is not even available in most markets so is not even be an option for most people. Therefore, most of what you state is null. Most people do have an option to use cable, D* or E* which should be the discussion here, just my opinion. Now when Fios is more readily an option and is...

    Thinking of switching from Dish to DirectTV

    I just had my D* installed today and once they had the televisions up and running I called E* to cancel. It took like 25 minutes to cancel with E* since they kept on telling me stuff about D*'s poor customer service...anyway I cancelled and am enjoying much more HD now. Believe it or not but...

    What HD National Channels do you want?

    I just got D* installed today and was recently with E* for 4 years. It is actually nice to see a successful satellite launch and even more HD coming. As for the VOOM channels I will not miss them at all and do not think it would be worth the extra cost to D* subscribers. Back when VOOM first...

    Thinking of switching from Dish to DirectTV

    Yes I ended up contacting Plasma Concepts and they helped me out tremendously. I get the Directv rebate and offer along with an additional 100.00 off coupon from Plasma Concepts. My install is for Friday. Hopefully it will be easy to cancel E*...my contract did end with them back in...

    Switching from E* to D* questions?

    I am a current E* customer of over 3 years now. I decided to change to D* and now have the install set for Friday of this week. Hopefully the install will go as planned. I am currently have the HD-DVR and a HD receiver from E* and plan on getting the D* HD-DVR and a HD receiver. I assume they...

    New Offer From Plasma Concepts- Get $100

    Well I have been a E* customer for over 3 years now and decided to make the move to Directv. I just scheduled an install with Eric over at Plasma concepts for this Friday. Looks like I will now be reading the D* area now and stopping worrying about ScifiHD being added to E*...took too long...

    Thinking of switching from Dish to DirectTV

    I am in the processing of deciding if a switch from Dish to D* is going to be easy and worth it. I am being told by many at work, D* is great. I love the 622 but do not record OTA. Questions: For those which have switched did you get D* ordered and then cancel E*? Wait until D* is installed...

    Will the VOOM channels exist in a few years?

    Does anybody think Monsters will stop doing the same repeats throughout the day as in the past? I like Monsters channel, but it is tough to be a fan when they play the same thing all day long or even longer...anyone have any information about plans for more content anytime soon??? Just curious.
