    Weird audio "ping" echo on some channels

    I guess I should also mention that I have another TV with a RCA DRD430RGA receiver on a Sony KV-32XBR450 that doesn't have any sound difficulties, but utilizes the TV speakers. The problem is one that only exists through the 5 channel speakers via satellite feed. When I use the same 5...

    Weird audio "ping" echo on some channels

    I've been having this weird audio "ping" echo on DirecTV that makes the channels nearly impossible to tolerate. It first occurred several months ago (?6) and then spontaneously disappeared. Now it's back for the last week or so. It seems to happen on most if not all of the SD sat channels...

    Just signed on with DirecTV!

    I'm about 50 miles (or more) from all my stations - and I picked up 10 digital/HD stations. When the D* installers came out to upgrade me to HD last week they didn't figure I'd get a single station, even with their best antenna. I'm using whatever antenna the electrician installed when we...

    New Audio feedback

    Poof, it seems to get gone now - was just something happening this morning I guess.

    New Audio feedback

    Anyone else getting some strange audio feedback? I thought it was my system at first... but it's only occuring on some (most) channels. Locals are fine; locals in HD are fine; HD channels via satellite are fine; showtime is fine. Pretty much everything else has this high pitched whine in...

    Universal Remote control for Samsung 360

    I've recently upgraded to DirecTV HD - and got the Samsung 360. Unfortunately my RCA Universal Custom 8 remote control doesn't list Samsung as a possible Satellite box -- no code to enter in. I checked RCA's website, found an updated list, but it still didn't include any Samsung Satellite...

    HD TV receivers on DirecTV

    Well I've seen some of the other links noticing audio hiccups on the Samsung 360 - I haven't noticed anything bad yet. The picture looks great on the Sony 40XBR800. The software version of the Samsung 360 is 1.2.03, is there an upgrade that I should expect in the next few days? Thanks

    HD TV receivers on DirecTV

    Ok they showed up and installed the HD... got lucky and got 9 stations over the OTA, plus the stations via satellite. They brought a Samsung T360 - above it was suggested that this wasn't a good receiver to get... why? I don't notice anything wrong. Thanks much for any help.

    Hd Ota

    Ok so my current antenna is VHF/UHF, hopefully I wont need to upgrade to a different antenna. Problem is, if the HD broadcasts are significantly lower strength than the usual broadcasts - I may not know until something special is broadcast in HD (well after the installer leaves). I just...

    HD TV receivers on DirecTV

    So I placed an order through DirecTV for HD package - they're coming to install Thursday. I was told I would get either a Samsung or Hughes receiver.... which should I be hoping for? Both have DVI I presume.

    Hd Ota

    1) So besides having better reception (range), there is nothing special about a "HD antenna"? 2) Without physically crawling up to the antenna (hard to do) - how can you tell if you've got a VHF/UHF antenna? :what Thanks! :bow

    Hd Ota

    I had an antenna installed when the house was built - I've got a great picture OTA... about the same as the DirecTV picture via satellite. I'm thinking of upgrading to HD with DirecTV (not Voom)... do I need a special antenna, or does it just need to get good reception? Thanks in advance

    HD TV receivers on DirecTV

    I know that there are several DirecTV Receivers out there. Does anyone have a link or information on which is a good one to get? I have 2 HD-ready TV's and the HD Satellite Dish (3 prong), so I just need a Reciever/Tuner which I'll probably get off of e-bay rather than paying $350 from...

    DivineHD: Should it be "a la carte"?

    The old "what does it matter, everyone's doing it, why not take a hit" argument is very weak at best. Again - if 72% of fortune 500 companies jumped off a bridge... TRUTH This poll is quite amazing given the large population that just doesn't want to have anything do to with the homosexual...

    My agenda is simple and I've stated it several times. I'd like to get Voom. I'd like to get Voom WITHOUT the homosexual focus channel. Again, why is that such a bad thing?

    Well from a business standpoint to me it would make sense to look at your customer population and give programming proportional to the customer demographics. Perhaps it would also depend on which religions are willing to provide the programming to fill the channels. Your question suggests...

    1 to 3 percent of people are homosexual. 80% of people go to church. When Voom has a channel set aside for the first group, but not the second group, doesn't that raise some legitimate questions? facts found here

    The rationale to make the homosexual channel a la carte is because whether or not you like it, the fact is that many people find homosexuality undesirable and don't want to pay to spread it into normalcy. Sean, if you're one of the people who find Christianity offensive, then feel free to...

    Ok I've been trying hard to stay on topic, so I'll make this part brief... So if I discriminate between having a friend over and having a murderer over, is that a bad thing? If someone's happiness includes murder, should we let them pursue that? It is not encroaching on someone's freedom of...

    The following is ment as a joke... please take it lightly. At least we're lucky 72% of Fortune 500 companies don't decide to jump off a cliff. Egads, what would happen then?! It's one thing to discriminate against someone applying for a job based on sexual preference. It's quite another...

    Well I'm not sure why a post listing some of the Christian channels on DirecTV would be deleted, but /shrug. I do however agree with Scott, that if they had not publicized (announced) this that it would have flown under the radar. I don't see HERE! listed under DirecTV's channel list (or...

    If there was an option for "Voomfamily" that excluded special focus on sexuality, I'd be signing up. It's kind of like me walking up to someone on the street and saying, "Say, ya know I have sex with my wife!" No one cares, no one wants to have sexuality (heterosexuality or homosexuality or...

    Last night I got about 3 hours of sleep. I had been very excited about getting Voom - I kept on checking this forum, trying to plan how the install would go, trying to figure out the best place for the dish to be located, etc I'm sorry if I come off as a wetblanket... It's been a long day...

    I guess for me the difference between the payper Porn and Gay/Lesbian station, is the underlying effort to mainstream the gay-lifestyle as normal and healthy. The Divine station is going to be included in the basic voom. I realize you can probably filter it out... but I just don't want to...
