    WWE in HD

    I agree that once WWE comes out in HD, the camera angles will be set up so that everything looks as close to possibly being real as possible (wow, what a sentence! LOL). I've watched recorded/taped shows that I went to LIVE and they look more real on tv than in person, especially the luchador...

    CBS Simulcasting 2 games at once in Austin?

    That would be so cool if I had that in my area, especially on a regular basis. It would almost be like having NFL Sunday Ticket "Lite!!" You'd have your choice of which CBS game to watch and it'd be cool if Fox did the same thing. What a thought!!:eureka

    Pricing for Adding NFLST after Week 6?

    I haven't asked D* about this, but when I was looking at my programming update/upgrade page on my account online, it shows that I can still add NFL Sunday Ticket at FULL Price or at the 5 payments of $49.80 during the regular season. A month and a half has already passed of the season, right...

    WWE 24/7 Free Preview

    I thought that WWE 24/7 was strictly a Video on Demand channel that was only offered by Comcast Cable? I missed the free preview, but does this mean they will have VOD soon for D*? I had VOD with Comcast before I left them for D* and although it wasn't great, it was a nice little add on...

    CBS - NFL today

    I was listening to a local Sports Radio show on my way home from work and they were discussing the CBS lack of HD NFL games. They said that CBS decided not to invest in having all NFL games in HD, unlike Fox Sports. That's why CBS limits the games in HD. I thought it was all about...

    hr20 recording issues

    Thanks for the info the on the 30s slip!! I thought I had to watch all my recorded shows without forwarding since I couldn't forward through commercials. My HR20 worked great when I first got it, but each software update makes me sad.

    HR20 Out of Stock?

    You have a huge complaint here that I hope doesn't go unrecognized. If there is a central phone number to Ironwood (not your local Ironwood since they are the problem), you should complain to them. YOU should not have to have done anything. When the guy installed my 5LNB dish, all I did was...

    Is the HD pack really not part of Total Choice Premier?

    I think you nailed it right there. D* is probably going to say that there's no reason to include the HD Package because not everyone that has Total Choice Premiere has a HD Receiver and it would be a waste. I don't know what the stats are on that, but I'm sure they can come up with some...

    How Do Online Upgrades Work?

    I made my install appointment call on 09/20 and was waiting to see if I would get that "we are out of stock, we need to reschedule" call, but never got it. Had install today 09/30/06 of new 5lnb dish and HR20. The software download was slow, but so far everything seems to be working so far. No...

    HR20 Out of Stock?

    Well said, my friend. Just as another example, if you buy a new HD Home Entertainment System at Best Buy and they give you a free install and then there are problems with the Installers, who do you ultimately complain to? Best Buy, right? Because you paid Best Buy for the product and...

    HR20 Out of Stock?

    Maybe me meant distributor or installer?

    HR20 Out of Stock?

    I have a scheduled install date to swap out my HR10 for the HR20 on Saturday the 30th, but I've read in other forums that D* is sold out of the HR20 now and won't get another batch of shipments until early October. I checked and I see that Best Buy is out too. Anyone know more about these...

    How Do Online Upgrades Work?

    I'm still pretty new to D*, and I was waiting to see when they would allow me to swap out my HR10 for the HR20, but I think I might do this a different way. I'm thinking of moving my HR10 to another room to replace the D11 and just order the HR20 via the upgrade link on their website. My...

    HR20 in SF Bay Area?

    I just called D* while I was reading this last reply and the lady I talked to said that I could buy the HR20 through Best Buy now, but that if I can wait until October, D* will honor the swap out of my current HR10. She said that she doesn't have the details as to whether or not I have to pay...

    HR20 in SF Bay Area?

    bbd24, Thanks for the info. I have a 3LNB dish and am looking to upgrade, but I'm waiting for the HR20 to be available "officially" in my area. I'll call DirecTV early next week. I'm also glad that FSN Bay Area is already available when I upgrade. This is the best news I've heard all day...

    HR20 in SF Bay Area?

    I switched from Comcast Cable to DirecTV a few months ago, but have felt so-so about the whole ordeal for a number of reasons. But, I'm wondering if anyone has the HR20 in the San Francisco Bay Area? Because before I upgrade to this, I want to make sure that people are getting the local networks...

    DirecTV Plus HD DVR/HR20?

    Both responses helped clear those points for me. I just don't like having to re-explain everything to D* again. I will need to have them change the 2 dishes on my roof and I don't mind waiting a few weeks for the HR20. I don't mind bothering D* customer service every few days, but it...

    DirecTV Plus HD DVR/HR20?

    I'm a newbie here, so please bare with me. There's so many threads to read and I'm getting confused. I don't know if DirecTV keeps track of my emails & calls, but I was told that the new HD DVR will allow me to view my local channels in HD via satellite, not OTA. Most of my communication...
