Hi, Just got home from being out of town for a few days, and when I got home, I discovered an odd problem. On two of my H21 receivers, both feeding Panasonic Viera plasma tv's, the channel up and down buttons don't work. Prior to going out of town, I was getting a several second delay, because...

Hi, Just wanted to see if anyone besides me had trouble with FSN Pittsburgh tonight (ch. 659). I watched the Penguins game in HD, and it was awfully pixellated. Anyone else? Jeff

After considerable debate, lots of forum reading, lots of questions asked and answered, lots of emails exchanged with various forum members, an order placed with DirecTV, then cancelled, then placed again, I "finally" decided to jump in. Installation took place last Friday, and at this point, it...

By using dishpointer.com for my location, I got the direction and angle for aiming the 5lnb. What I am wondering is ..... how wide a spread the satellites are. By putting the dish in my yard, I'd be able to set it up between two trees, and definitely could point to the prescribed target...

I am going to switch my tv service from Comcast to DirecTV, due to the lack of HD offerings on my local Comcast system (I'm on one of Comcast's very old techology-challenged former Adelphia systems). I like the service I've gotten from Comcast and the picture quality too ... but it is an HD...

After considerable time reading, researching, and seeking out the help of many people here and at other web boards, I decided to make the phone call to DirecTV tonight ..... with the idea that I'd sign up under the right circumstances and comfort zone. I was really pleased with my CSR, and had...

Any hope that they'll be moved to MPEG-4 anytime soon. Several of those channels (ESPN, ESPN2, etc.) are ones that I watch a lot, and the fear of losing PQ on those legacy channels is actually one of the things holding me back from making the switch from Comcast to DirecTV. Anyone know if...

As I nudge a little closer to making the Comcast to DirecTV switch, I'm wondering about PQ on SD channels. As I've mentioned before, I have no problem at all with the PQ on Comcast. Both SD and HD channels are really very good. The problem on my outdated Comcast system is that we have very...

I really appreciate all of the people who've helped me as I continue to consider a switch from Comcast to DirecTV (for more HD channels). I've gotten lots of answers to a variety of questions, and I thank everyone who took the time to help me. Over the past few days, I've spent several hours...

I am reallly close to taking the plunge and switching to DirecTV. I am just a little antsy about a 2-yr commitment without there being any sort of trail period. I have a relatively complex install (5 rooms, 2 w/HD), getting the HD package, Regional Sports package, DVR, etc., so it will be at...

Hi, I am considering a switch from Comcast Cable to DirecTV in order to get more HD channels (I am on a very old Comcast system, where old Adelphia equipment and technical limitations are keeping them from offer much in the way of HD. Only about 15 channels or so, and not much hope for more in...

Hi, Please excuse the novice nature of my question ...... I'd like to be able to record programming, and I currently subscribe to Comcast Digital cable plus their HD lineup. My question is, is it better to sign up for their DVR service using their leased machine, or can my recording instead...

I am in an oddball situation, and am wondering if anyone has any thoughts on how you think this situation might work ..... I am an NFL Sunday Ticket suscriber. That's all I get from DirecTV (I was grandfathered in when C-band ST was discontinued by the NFL, so I didn't have to sign up for...

I live in the Gettysburg PA area, formerly serviced by Adelphia, and now taken over by Comcast ..... A month ago, I got a card in the mail from Comcast showing the 2007 rate structure, and in that note, it announced that "more than 15 new channels" would be added to our lineup. Of course, I...

.... what new equipment will be required? I currently have a 3 LNB RCA dish, feeding a stardard DirecTV D11 receiver. I am assuming an HD-capable receiver will be in order, but will this current dish work okay? Sunday Ticket is the only programming that I buy from DirecTV, so I don't...

Last night's game (CIN/BAL) on SD Channel 212 was just another in a series of substandard quality SD football transmissions on Directv. I was switching back and forth between 2 sources (DTV watching the Ravens game on 212), and Cable TV (watching the college game on ESPN). Picture quality...

I currently have an older non-progressive scan DvD player (480i), which I play onto my Panasonic 42" EDTV plasma. To me, the picture is always excellent, and I'm wondering if it is worth it to get a progressive scan unit to take advantage of my TV's 480p display capability. My TV has a...

I posted this in the Directv forum .... but thought maybe it would be better placed in a Sports forum. Anyway, here goes: I've been really disappointed in the picture quality of NFL Sunday Ticket. I have a 42" Panasonic Plasma EDTV, which I use to watch the Sunday Ticket games on standard...

I've been really disappointed in the picture quality of NFL Sunday Ticket. I have a 42" Panasonic Plasma EDTV, which I use to watch the Sunday Ticket games on standard definition Directv. When I flip back and forth between source 1 (Directv football game), and source 2 (football game on my...
