    IsThere An Attorney In The House?

    Sue 'em I say. I didn't get any notice at all. They told me notices went out with "paper" bills. I pay my bills online. No notice was ever given me when I logged on.

    IsThere An Attorney In The House?

    Freakin' DirecTV! They turned off the HD channels I was getting because there's no SD simulcast! For all those who've been paying $9.99 for HD since forever with this outfit, we need to start a class action lawsuit against DirecTV and their HD broadcasts. Right now, I have the HD plus DVR...

    New HD Today!

    I watched "Code 46" last night on MGMHD. I told my family that if they wanted to see a pretty good movie they never knew existed, they should always keep an eye on this channel. The HD is pretty good. No commercial interruptions. Broadcast is in original aspect ratio, so 16:9 will probably...

    Alright! Another great Wednesday morning with more HD releases! We're well on our way to having every channel in HD. I'll be able to tell my great-grandchildren..."Yeah, I remember a day when everything was SD, even real life!"

    HD Channels are Launched

    Today and on forward is why satelliteguys.us becomes so much more important in my life. Unfortunately, D* doesn't do a very good job communicating with its customers. It will be in this forum that we find out all the onezie and twozie channel launches all the way to the end of the year. I'm...

    Twas the Night Before HD-Launch

    I loved the spoof poem! Well done, it made me smile.... Until seconds passed and I realized that this is indeed HDTV Eve and that unless they release today, they're gonna push back until Saturday. I've never been right on a prediction before...so THEY'VE GOT TO RELEASE TOMORROW...RIGHT...

    Crunch Time - Wednesday 9/26/2007

    So, is the launch going to be on Wednesday or not? (I am happy with the testing, but IMO, that should have been done earlier.) There's a strange quiet. Can you smell the fear? :yikes

    DirecTV Sports Thread

    Hey...I was a baby back then...so I thought Florida was playing.... Hayes did hit that guy in the mouth, though. I remember seeing it live. I know I'm not wrong about that! So...Jimbo. Who's ranked higher? Florida or OU? http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/rankingsindex GO GATORS!

    What we are hearing...

    Wrong, Jimbo. If you read my previous post, I'm trying to guarantee ya'll a release next week of HD. BTW: I hate the Buckeyes...ever since that jerk coach of theirs hit my Florida Gator in the mouth for making an interception during the 1978 Gator Bowl. GO GATORS!

    What we are hearing...

    How's this for a ball-buster scenario? D* wanted to release on the 19th. A problem with the billing computer fouled things up, as well as some sporadic, intermittent technical problems with the sat itself. The billing problem was the easy fix, and the programmers have already applied the...

    What we are hearing...

    Ya'll want a guarantee that these few measley channels will be up "next week?" I say that they're going to miss. That there's no way, no how they'll have them up even by mid-October. There...now you have your guarantee, because whatever I predict will happen, the total opposite comes off.

    No Audio On Super Fan Channel 719

    I had some frustrating problems with NFL Ticket yesterday. I would tune to 723 [Dolphins/Redskins HD], then go to any other channel. That channel would be black. My receiver then locked up. I had to reset my receiver (a brand new HR20 from Saturday install) 4 times before the beginning of...

    The Ultimate D* Hd Question - When?

    Thanks for that awesome link, Brewer4! :up Remarkable! FROM WIKI: A circular geosynchronous orbit in the plane of the Earth's equator has a radius of approximately 42,164 km (from the center of the Earth). A satellite in such an orbit is at an altitude of approximately 35,786 km (22,236...

    The Ultimate D* Hd Question - When?

    Hey...OK...so the satellite is still not in position. 1) Could someone please repost that link that let's us see the sat location? and... 2) Could someone please extrapolate from the sat location data how long they think it will be before it's "in position." Thanks guys! This is the best...

    The Ultimate D* Hd Question - When?

    Okay...I know that today is 9/5/2007. I know that a D* rep told me that the release of the new HD channels would be "during the first week in September" but he did not give me a date. I know that the new HD channels will use the same channel numbers (no new channel numbers to remember.) What I...
