Does anyone know if Directv receives a direct feed of the HD broadcasts? The reason why I ask is a Comcast tech told me that certain Pittsburgh affiliates have a direct connection to their head end instead of picking up an OTA signal. I live right near WPXI's tower and even though I receive a...

Once again its a start of a new season for a Directv sports subscription and once again a problem with a DVR failing to record a game. I used to have this problem with the MLB package - now it happened today on the Blackhawks/Caps game. The game was set up to record - it did not. The reason when...

Yes. It's a problem not only on DIRECTV but DISH NETWORK as well. WPXI and WTAE are by far the worst. Strangely enough my COMCAST feeds look clear.

I have had several friends/family members compare DIRECTV's feed of a national HD channel versus the DISH feed of the same. Both using HDMI cables, and not telling the person what provider they are watching it on. I will switch back and forth to ask their opinion on which is clearer. Everytime I...

I have both Dish and Directv - both connected via HDMI - and I have to say the HD picture quality is terrible on DISH. The DISH picture lacks color vividness, and sharpness. Yes, it has become worse since VOOM left. If you think your regional sports network looks bad in HD - take a look at FSN...

I keep receiving that error message as well. Usually this happens during sporting events. I believe it has something to do with the on screen guide changing the title and/or description after the initial recording setup. Resetting the DVR does absolutely nothing.

So .... does anyone know why around 2 pm this afternoon the EI channel said a game was in a rain delay? It just seems odd that it would say that for a channel they don't even offer ?

According to channel 625 - the game on channel 626 is in a rain delay! HUH ?

Yes, and its not just FSN-BA it's any of the RSNs - NBA League Pass - etc. Usually happens when it's a really good game - I've been at work - and I want to come home and watch the end. DISH knows about this and refuses to do anything about it. I was told it was going to be a fix - date TBD...

I too signed up for the Comcast triple play and I have been very satisfied with their PQ. Dish seems to be really compressing their channels too much. Hands down, the Comcast PQ is 10x clearer, especially with anything with lots of side to side movement i.e. NBA, NHL, etc. Only complaint, I have...

In the North Hills area of Pittsburgh here and can never get anything on WTAE's digital signal ... also the same problem with QED can happen on KDKA also. I usually get around 95-100% signal strength but often the signal drops well below 50% for a few seconds.

Check out channel 22's OTA signal it's coming in a lot stronger now across the region - Now if they could just bring The Tube back on ... And when will WTAE's digital signal improve?

Ditto for NBA package too.

FSN Ohio and FSN Pittsburgh look like something on a 1980 Zenith console television with the sharpness turned up so far it becomes grainy - yeah they look like crap.

Spoke to someone in Tech support - repeated my story 2-3 times and told her what other people have said on this message board. She told me to hold on for someone that knows more about HD. I stayed on hold for 20 minutes - called back and was again put on hold for 20 minutes - never did get...

Last night happened to me AGAIN on a FSN Pittsburgh on a WVU basketball recording. Game restarted twice - was not able to fast forward - got the pixels and blocks when I would try. Is it pointless to ask for a new receiver or is this a problem that Dish knows about but will not acknowledge ?

Yes. I get the green squares and the video drops out sometimes and also the audio skips.

I had a similar problem. First time, they called me about 3 hours into the appointment scheduled time frame - no equipment in stock. They reschedule me about two weeks later. I wait until an hour before the latest time they were to arrive. I call and they said that someone called the night...

Ok, weird problem here - was wondering if anyone else had this happen to them... Twice now I have tried watching a DVR recording on my 622 of a Cleveland Cavaliers basketball game from FSN Ohio. Trying to fast forward and all I get is duplicated pixels and about an hour and a half into the game...
