    New Comcast HD commerical

    Cable companies have basically unlimited bandwidth with SDV. How they choose to use and distribute that bandwidth is another story altogether.

    Missing Big Ten & Comcast Chicago

    Big Ten and RSN's aren't in the platinum package. RSN's and BTN are in Turbo Silver and Gold.

    Eastern Arc starting and Turbo HD business rules

    I thought the new service was for those that want Turbo HD?

    How good / bad is Directv?

    I've let you act like a complete jerk for a couple of posts and taken the high road, but 3 strikes and you're out. Those with an IQ above 5 know for what the smilies are used. I was being sarcastic. So, for the last time, please have the same respect for others opinions that we have had for...

    How good / bad is Directv?

    It's not $230 ETF better, but when my contract with D* is up, I will return to E* as long as Eastern Arc solves my reception problems. And yes, E*s HD PQ was better than D*'s, but like I said, not by much. Also, I do have 20/12 vision. :) The biggest reason for my disdain for D* has nothing...

    How good / bad is Directv?

    Interesting. I've had both services, and E*'s HD PQ is better than D*'s, although not by much. I give D* the big edge in sports packages and reception. Eastern Arc should solve one of those problems. If you like movies in HD, however, E* just blows away D* in quality, quantity, and price.

    What is Eastern Arc?

    Count me in as well as soon as Eastern Arc launches. D* has no redeeming qualities other than the most important one: reception. Once E* matches them in that department, I'll be back in a heartbeat.

    Questions about HDDVR

    He's a new customer Jimbo. His chances of getting an HR-20 are slim and none and slim just left the building.

    NYC DMA Locals

    The Big 4 are Conus as are the NY RSN's. Use a NYC address only--nothing upstate.

    Is Directv DVRs that bad?

    I'd expect more original thought from someone located in NW Ohio and flying that flag. I'm relaying my experience with D*'s DVR, which is what I believe was the question asked by the OP. It almost seems as if you are taking it personally. Like someone is bashing you because they have had bad...

    ZDNet Article "DirecTV... Make Products Work"

    The HR-20 is just a brutally bad piece of equipment. Typically, the only users who like it have never experienced another provider. I have only missed one recording, but it's just so clunky and slow and needs a reboot about once a week. D* is really smart to require 2 year contracts. I have...

    Is Directv DVRs that bad?

    D* DVR's are that bad, and they are not worth the problems. I can't wait until my contract is up to go back to E*. The HR-20 is just a bad piece of equipment. D*'s advantages are signal strength and sports packages. E*'s advantages are everything else under the sun.

    Subsribe now or after Aug 1st

    Multi-sports pack is availabe for $6 as an add on to any package that already includes your local RSN. So, this would apply to Silver and Gold, but not Bronze.

    Subsribe now or after Aug 1st

    Only silver and gold--not bronze.

    Subsribe now or after Aug 1st

    After August 1 if you want your RSN, before August 1 if you don't. Fairly simple solution.

    MPEG4 HD Channels - now lower quality?

    My HD PQ with D* is far worse than cable but only slightly worse than E*. Perhaps E*'s has gotten worse since I switched to D*, but I still have Comcast and its HD PQ blows the doors off D*.

    Dish and DirecTV HD DVRs vs. TiVO?

    When I first got my Tivo HD, I couldn't understand why my HDD was filling up so quickly. Then I realized that Tivo Suggestions was just recording everything in sight. Turned off immediately and started deleting all that junk. Thank god you can disable it.

    Dish and DirecTV HD DVRs vs. TiVO?

    What if you search by the guide. Navigating the Tivo guide is just brutal.

    One Dish solution?

    All the HD channels are on 61.5? I thought USA and others were on a different sat. I am interested in the new HD package that now include the RSN's. I don't even need locals, I can get them OTA.

    Thanks, any word on when they are launching the aforementioned "Eastern Arc" service?
