    Time to apply for HD waiver

    Now it is my understanding that Shevra allows a customer to ask for a digital waiver since we won't be getting HD local via OTA anytime soon. Yes I live in the Denver DMA and yes I know that HD local is coming though no DVR to record this signal is available. Can't I get a test now to...

    Dish upgrade path?

    Will they offer an "upgrade" dish whcih would be just for the Ka band satellites? A new multiplexer to add this dish to the system? I guess that would make too much sense so I wouldn't have to remove my current setup but just add to my system, similar to the 72.5 locals?

    Pole mount specifications for new dish

    Does anyone have a link for providing what a pole mount would be for the new dish? I live in a fairly cold climate and I don't want to wait for the rollout to occur in January and not be able to have the upgrade because the ground is frozen. Help pointers? FAQ on the subject?

    Converstion kit for a DIY DVR

    Has anyone seen a kit that one could take a older PC and convert into a TiVO like box? It seems that all one would need is a satellite receiver on a card (maybe two) a card access reader for the D* card to make it a valid receiver. I would like to be able to have a faster box and receive HD...

    So does anyone know how this works in Denver DMA Fox

    I was watching the Green Bay football game via OTA and the first half of the game was in SD. Was it someone at the 31 fox forget to turn a switch? I would think that this would be more automatic than that.

    Dream system

    So I used to have a 10 foot analog C-Band system about 12 years ago and then I moved and got into Direct TV with the Sunday ticket. Though I miss the backhaul coverage on the football games...more like real life TV :) Well I have been lamenting that I want to get setup again with the big...

    Patriot antenna systems

    I have been thinking about jumping back into C-Band again after getting my D*. The enticement of more HDTV offerings and the backhauls. I had an analog setup before and sold it all off including a 11 foot dish. Some initial searching and it appears that Patriot makes a pretty good system...
