    Let's have some good news

    Earlier in the year we had a tech out realigning our dish. He informed us locals were coming in August or September. He claimed he saw the paperwork that was running through our local cable provider (Cox). As excited as I was to hear the news, I didn't have much faith because we used to be so...

    Pre-Wiring

    We built a new home a couple of years ago and were asking similar questions. :) In our family room we have two wires on opposite walls. Those are really the only two walls where we'd place the TV. We did the same thing in our bonus room, two runs on opposite walls. This has worked out...

    1080p question.

    Is there an easy way to tell if the ones on VOD are 1080P? I went through the list last night and didn't see any indication so I was wondering if you need to press info to find out. Can you tell me the name of one program with 1080P so I can download it and find out what all the hype is about? :)

    One cable or two running from the dish?

    You CAN watch another recorded show while one is recording, you just can't watch another live show while one is recording. Unless I misunderstood what you posted this is how it works with one cable.

    HR20 Tips, Facts and Features

    How do you get the - in there? When I tried this, that dash was not an option on the screen and the dash on my remote didn't add it.

    Trouble with MPEG4 channels

    Well...my husband called CS and the person he spoke with was essentially clueless on how to correct the problem. We just recently re-attached all our cables because of another issue, so I don't think it's loose cables (at least in our case).

    Trouble with MPEG4 channels

    We're not doing the CEs and now we're having the same problem. Can't get HistHD or our distant network HDNBC. The 382 NBC comes in fine. Last night HD Theater was out.

    New to DirecTV, questions about upgrading HD receivers

    In my market, where locals aren't offered, I'd gladly take an H10! OTA HD with Tivo software. I'm all for that. I realize they won't pick up MPEG 4, but not all my TV's are HD anyway. I don't know how much the OP paid, but I'd like to find a good deal.

    What is this eBay auction all about? (link inside)

    I'm a little surprised someone hasn't gone in and offered this same info for $5 less.

    You know you are waiting for the satellite to become operational when.....

    Or when you find out that some posters your thought were girls are actually guys, and vice versa. ;)

    Grade A signal??

    Ok, that explains antennaweb. Thanks for that input. Learn something new everyday. :) After some research, Fox and ABC are indeed in the same direction. The other two split my signals opposite ways.

    Grade A signal??

    antennaweb definitely has errors. When I punched in all my info and looked at the mapping of the stations, they had Fox and ABC coming from the same direction. In reality, Fox is in a city south of me and ABC is in the northern part of this city. I live in the SW section of my town. The good...

    Grade A signal??

    Thanks for the links, I'm already discussing the problem with the locals in my market on AVS. They're all getting blocks of junk as well with Fox. My zip is 32608 and last I checked we're WAY down on the bottom of the totem pole for locals. I don't know how to find out what make and model...

    Grade A signal??

    My local Fox affiliate claims my location has a Grade A signal (in HD) but I rarely get a strength over 50%. Most recordings (HR20-700) come out choppy, blocky and junky. Because of the Grade A I can't get a waiver. Does anyone know if D* will work with me to get a waiver, perhaps by sending...

    Got new 0x17e software on hr20 700

    I just realized a couple of days ago that my FF was working similar to my Tivo. I was wondering if a new version downloaded. It's so much better! This has been one of my primary complaints against the HR20. Glad to see D* being so proactive. BTW, I miss the Tivo sounds also, even though...
