    Problems sending back bad HD receiver!

    Can anyone help me??? I recently had a problem with a Directv HD receiver for which they sent me a replacement with no problem (I pay the extra charge per month for h/w coverage). However, we could not find the mailing label to send back the faulty receiver to DTV that should have been in the...

    This channel WCWF exists! I just found out this info about channel 40 wcwf that apparently already exists from Wiki Encyclopedia: WCWF is the newest television station in the Plattsburgh, New York - Burlington, Vermont market. Licensed to Saranac Lake, the station broadcasts an analog...

    DirecTV to add 44 HD local markets (Updated with Launch Schedule)

    Confusing channel guide HD Locals were turned on early yesterday in our market, the Burlington, VT area. However, the resulting channel guide is quite confusing as all channels in the area show up as identical names, i.e., 3 WCAX - 5 WPTZ - 22 WVNY - 44 WFFF all show up twice as names of...

    DirecTV to add 44 HD local markets (Updated with Launch Schedule)

    Wow, what's up with THAT? Channel 3 in Burlington, VT is pretty darn big here, it covers almost the whole state of Vermont and is regarded as pretty much THE CBS facility - and nothing has been done by Direct TV to even file paperwork with them???? There is no other CBS affiliate in this...

    DirecTV 11 Satellite - Tracking & Testing

    Local hds please!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, I'm in the Burlington, VT Plattsburgh, NY area, and I'm hoping they'll use this to put our market on HD locals! I ended up buying an AM21 tuner to get them tied into my HR21 because they don't. Dish TV already has HD locals for this area - hopefully Direct...

    No Signal Strength On Odd Transponders for Sat A(101)

    I believe I'm presently experiencing the same thing - I happened to read this post and swapped the incoming 13V and 18V lines, and the odd numbered transponders from Sat 101 which were showing zero CONTINUED to show zero (didn't swap over). This indicates either the Zinwell multi-switch OR the...

    Curious - Can AM21 be used with two Receivers?

    More out of curiosity than anything else - can you use a USB hub and split the AM21 to work with two HR21 receivers in different rooms? Haha ! Now there's a "can it be done" question.... Richard L.:)

    NESN HD Questions

    I'm in the Burlington, VT market, have the HD package and yes, I get NESN HD on channel 623 without purchasing any sports packages. The Comcast Sports New England channel which has all Boston Celtics games is in SD format on 620, but about half or a third of the time they show their games in HD...

    The Masters Experience on DirecTV

    How? Yeah, you are - manual record from 6:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.? the H21 DVR only allows you to start from up to 5 minutes early to 3 hours late (past the end time). So how do you record manual time at 6:30 P.M, 12 hours after it "starts"? And I'm out of town too? Richard

    The Masters Experience on DirecTV

    Record a portion of Highlights ONLY? I will be out of town during Masters (bummer) and would like to record ONLY the last hour of the Highlights in HD that is somewhere in the 700s on my guide. However, when I go to the guide it lists start time 6:00 a.m. and end time as 7:30 p.m. I have an...

    HR-21 to ever have OTA?

    Price of OTA tuner from Direct? I thought it was quoted as $59? Why $99, did something happen to almost double it? Richard L.

    HR-21 to ever have OTA?

    Guide software upgrade That tells me too, that will probably mean a software upgrade for the Program guide. Since I have an Onkyo home theater setup, when I want to switch from Direct TV to OTA I have to change inputs on the TV (to antenna) , turn off the Onkyo receiver, turn up the TV...

    HR-21 to ever have OTA?

    Integrated into Guide? Now I wonder if this add-on for the tuner will allow users to have their local OTA channels automatically listed in the program guide! Richard :)

    HR-21 to ever have OTA?

    Ease of use True, but a competitor whom we all know has that capability in their DVR, and it's not just a matter of making it "idiot proof", it's also a matter of convenience. I have a home theater set up, so it means changing inputs from Direct TV to OTA. Also, without the built-in...

    Hm..use it for PC later? And if that happens to me in Good Ol' Burlington, Vermont market I can thereafter probably just stick it on my PC..... This year? NOT! Richard

    HR-21 to ever have OTA?

    Cool! Thanks for the quick response! I still don't understand the logic of why they didn't include the capability in the first place when going from HR20 to HR21, instead of going backwards - I don't expect they'll make a lot of bucks setting the add-ons! :)

    HR-21 to ever have OTA?

    And thereafter - will Direct TV charge existing customers for this capability?

    HR-21 to ever have OTA?

    I just became a Direct TV "user" in December, with two HR21-700 DVRs (living room and basement) and a standard HD receiver for my bedroom, having nothing but HD in my house. HD locals are available separately via OTA, but unlike Dish, the HD locals CANNOT be piped through the Direct TV units...

    NESN HD in the standard HD package?

    Is NESN HD now available via Direct TV through their HD package IN New England? Or do I need to subscribe separately to some sort of Direct TV sports package at say $9.99 a month to get it? :)

    28 HD Channels now live in Southern NH (32 inc premiums)

    Need to buy Sports package? To get the NESN HD, did you need to subscribe separately to the RSN package? Or is NESN HD in true HD as long as you have the HD Package from Direct? EEEHAAA! I'm seriously thinking of switching from Dish to Direct, gotta have my Red Sox in HD!! Richard Longwell

    Still waiting for your RSN in HD? This info seems accurate.

    Wait a minute - is NESN really broadcasting now in HD? I know there was some talk that some of the HD channels were not displaying correclty in HD, and being a Red Sox follower, it irritated the Hell out of me that I'm watching it on Dish and being constantly reminded it's in HD, but Dish...
