    H20 Model/Mfg Numbers?

    THX Rad, going thru my guide it seems most my OTA is now digital anyhow. Might lose one or two stations that haven't caught up yet. Agreed NTSC is dying a slow death thanks to Washington. Charper, the tuner in the TV wouldn't intergrate the channels into the guide though would it. That...

    H20 Model/Mfg Numbers?

    A question for you folks with the H20....is the OTA tuner digital (ATSC) only. No analog (NTSC)? I know NTSC is dying off but seems early to omit it as a tuner. Can anyone verify this before I make a purchase. Thx. :)

    Buying eBay Recievers w/ Card

    Thx, but can't help but think that's a very poor policy. Hey I've been a sub for 8 years or so. If my HD unit quits and I wanna replace it myself with a used one to continue being a sub why force this commitment? The only effort required on D* part is answering the phone call I make to...

    Buying eBay Recievers w/ Card

    Did D* require you to make the 2 year commitment? I'm finding conflicting reports about the commitment requirements for equipment swaps. I understand why they would like a commitment if you upgrade thru D* but not if you purchase used. I'ld like to purchase a used unit like you have and swap...

    PQ decrease with new DVR

    Go into the new DVR setup menu and check the settings. Maybe the output setting (1080, 720, ect) isn't correct.

    No free upgrades?

    I've been leaning towards this scenario also....D* will swap your equipment provided you sign the 2 yr commitment. If your commitment has expired and you want to stay month to month then it'll cost ya. The $250-299 is the first number I've seen mentioned so far. As Charper says....wait n see...

    Ya'all seen this little trick?

    Almost all automated phone systems can be bypassed by pressing 0. Sometimes pressing it repeatedly is needed but that should always get you a live person. :)

    D* picture to dark?

    There are many posts of people using component output with very little to NO difference in PQ. Why not give it a view? As you point out, you have 30 days to evaluate. If the PQ is acceptable, great and you still switch back when a fix is available. Just my 2 cents.

    Confusing Info on HD Receiver from Direct TV

    Sony/Zenith/LG are all top notch, and basically the same units (made by LG). Talk to Robert. He did have some refurbs at one time.

    DTV installed today, no HDMI to DVI conveter :(

    I second that!!! Totally unacceptable. :eek: Call D* and complain. Have this fixed and tell them some programming credit for your inconvenience is in order. :yes

    Any yearly commitments for tuner swap ??

    If you take them up on one of their promotional deals (HD upgrade / Tivo upgrade) that you purchase thru them, then a 1 year commitment is required. A new 1 year term from the date you install/activate the new equipment. If you buy used and swap out on your own I believe you can refuse when they...

    D* Satellite Launch Info

    Thankx for the link. That answered some questions. I'm wondering now about the equipment upgrades. Will you need to be a sub of the HD pak or your locals to get the upgraded HD STB and Dish? I have a HD STB but don't sub to either. Will the fact that I have one be enuff for the exchange? My OTA...

    D* Satellite Launch Info

    Thankx. I have to admit, that really surprises me!! D* must feel this will increase the local sub count significantly to help offset costs.

    D* Satellite Launch Info

    Pricing Has there been any info released/posted about pricing? Where will these HD LIL channels be positioned? In the HD pak? In with your locals and your TC package? Separate package offering? :confused:

    Any yearly commitments for tuner swap ??

    I was thinking along the same lines. I agree the change in equipment type makes it more difficult to use the malfunctioning tuner story.

    Any yearly commitments for tuner swap ??

    I'm thinking of swapping out my SD box for a Tivo/DVR. I'll be buying used on eBay or elsewhere and will just be swapping out the SD box. Will D* require a year commitment to get a card and activate the replacement? I've dug thru the web site but can't find any info on this. Thought I ask before...

    They make their cash selling the list. Not in doing the work. If it indeed went down that way. :confused:

    THose who CANNOT get cable, which are you choosing--D*, E* or Starchoice?

    Look here ... http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=49063

    Where is a good comparison of other options?

    Reactivated last Sept. and I don't recall paying a fee. Hung up on E* when they wouldn't waive the fee.

    Voom Rip: 11-04-2003 - 4-30-2005

    Just my opinion...E* HD line-up is poor. D* offering is better but still not worth the 10.99 a month. Again, just my 2 cents. Check the D* line-up versus your local cable and go from there.

    worst thing to come out of this

    Oh Please. I find this comparision very disturbing. Your comparing a TV signal to human life? Some how I don't think the pain and suffering you will feel compares to those that sat in a concentration camp or with the family members that must contemplate a life and death decision for a...
