    The Weather Channel in HD

    That is correct. I was talking to a friend at TWC at a meeting last week and she said the studio shows will not be in HD until sometime next Spring or Summer, when the new HD studio is completed. Only the specials will be in HD for the time being.

    NHL Network and Center Ice in HD?

    A couple questions. 1. On a list of rumored additions back in August, I saw that the NHL Network in HD was on one of the test channels. Now, it is nowhere to be found in today's rollout, or even in the planned rollouts the rest of the year. Does anyone know what is going on with this...

    My DirecTV installation horror story

    Could be. It was the last install for them. But the antenna was already there. All they needed to do was put in a new outlet for it. Took them 10 minutes.

    My DirecTV installation horror story

    Well, I have to say, everything went pretty smoothly yesterday. They were right on time. Oddly, they decided the guys that installed the last dish were wrong and that a better place for it was on the roof, not in the yard. They said they tested signal strengths and it works better up there...

    My DirecTV installation horror story

    Why shouldn't I blame D*? They hire these pathetic subcontractors. That is indeed their own fault. Why am I guessing today's install will be a clusterf%#k? They have already called and the "promised" 4-5 PM time has already slipped to 5 -6. And from reading the above, I am guessing they...

    My DirecTV installation horror story

    A couple weeks back, I made an appointment for yesterday for the installation of the new slimline dish. The appointment was for a crew to be there between 12 and 4. Let's just say it didn't quite work out that way. At about 3 PM, not having heard a word on it, I checked online at D* to make...

    Should I switch from HR10 to HR20

    I know that when the HR20 originally came out last year, there were many problems. It seems like most of those have been addressed. The question is, is it time for me to switch? We have held onto the HR10-250 because we like the TiVo functionality. But recently, we have begun experiencing...

    And another question. What about other sports packages like NHL Center Ice?

    Lost signal AND OTA

    Yep, powered it down and disconnected the lines. And all lines are messed up to all the TVs, so it's definitely a signal issue. UPDATE: Now the drizzle has stopped and it is starting to acquire info, so it wouldn't seem like the multi-switch is fried, either. I am wondering if maybe when...

    Lost signal AND OTA

    We have an HR10-250 HD receiver with two satellite inputs and an OTA antenna input, along with two other non HD receivers. This problem is common to everything. Last night, we had a thunderstorm during which we lost signal. That, I could accept, as it wasn't the first time. The signal...

    HR10-250 drops Channel 95 from favorites

    We recently got the new software upgrade on the HR10-250, and it is a huge improvement. But there is one minor annoyance. We keep setting channel 95 as a favorite, but everyday it disappears and we have to re-add it. Anyone else had this problem, and is there a solution?

    Are *PRESEASON* NHL games blacked out on Sports Pack?

    Well, thanks to the efforts of some posters over at letsgopens.com, we got this resolved. Below is a note posted by pensfann last night. And indeed, the Penguin game was on out of market.

    Are *PRESEASON* NHL games blacked out on Sports Pack?

    They are blacked out this year, and it does no good to talk to the clueless people in customer service, as they are unable to comprehend the issue. Boy, I am o glad I just re-upped with them. I wonder how I can get out of it. This is a company that has no clue how to deal with customers.

    KC vs Cin game stuttering

    Nope, because I had the exact same problem, only on the HD feed. The SD was fine.

    Heavy pixelation problems only on HI-DEF channels

    We had this issue too. It was because when the wind blew from a certain direction, it bent the tree just enough to interfere with the signal. My guess is at night, the wind dies down and the tree no longer interferes. We ended up pole-mounting the dish to get a better line of sight.

    Guide problem

    The last few days, our guide is only going out a few days. The message on screen says it is trying to update it in the next 24 hours. Any ideas what might be causing this? Is D* having a problem? Does the guide come in on the same satellite as the local channels, which we only receive...

    DirecTivo HR10-250 Blowout!

    My rep told me that she thought it might be offered for a $99 upgrade fee.

    DirecTivo HR10-250 Blowout!

    I called the retention people yesterday not thinking I would get a the free HR10-250. I was wrong. Got it on the first try. They said I am on the A-list having been a subscriber since 1995. In fact, the very nice rep I talked to (Rachel) said I was the longest-term member she had talked to...

    HR10-250 and Off-Air Antenna

    Question for all of you having issues with this tuner. How far away from the TV station transmitters do you live? I am considering going with the HR10-250, but all my locals are within 5 miles of my house. Is anyone having problems with something that close to you?

    Looking at my options

    Has there been any guess on how much the new D* HD DVR will cost? That's one thing I'm looking at. If I can get the free upgrade now, then get a reduced price on the new one, that seems to make sense. But maybe it makes more sense just to wait and take the $200 credit on the new one?
