Couple of year ago (when I had the HR21) I "moved" to NYC from California and was getting the national feed for networks (ABC, CBS, etc). I had the OTA tuner then. Back then the process was quite easy: just called DTV and told them the new install address. When they offered a new install said...

I switched from Comcast to DTV a couple of months ago. Happy with the higher number of HD and better picture quality but disappointing that the VOD content so far for local channels (e.g., NBC and ABC) is in SD. Haven't checked the other locals (Fox, CBS, etc) yet. I guess I am disappointed...

Anybody knows a good zip code that I can "move" to in order to get the NY HD channels? In the past DTV had the "other local channel" options that allowed me to check that as well as if I qualified but I can't find that any longer. I am also assuming those NY HD channels are still on CONUS...

Happenned with showtime when recording weeds and movies. Shows recording, shows on the list and also shows the duration. When I try to play it seems like it goes to the end of the recording cause it asks if I want to delete or keep it. If I say keep it and try to play, it does the same! Only...

I just noticed yesterday KTEH-DT5 appeared on my local list. This is PBS from San Jose, CA. There is nothing showing though and it only shows "sign off". I kept checking the schedule and all the way till Wednesday it still showed "sign off". Is that a sign that Direct is starting to add PBS in...

So I know I can call DTV about this but I just want to know of other customers. I've come to realize I don't really watch anything other than my local channels so really dont' care much for the other channels. Anybody knows or has the cheapest/minimum channels I can get and be able to still get...

Was there a national release (non-CE) yesterday for hr21-700 of new software? My guide suddenly became very slow and now on demand has been turned on (still says Beta though). I didn' t have a chance to check the software version though. But until MOnday morning if I tried "on demand" it would...

So after I told my reapair guy yesterday that I didn't like the lack of OTA with the HR21 he said that the way to get it replaced with an HR20 was to call DTV and tell them the HR21 was not working. He said that in all cases he heard of, DTV will send a refurbished HR20. According to him since...

So I got DTV back in November. Dish was out of alignment in December; guy come over and re-aligned. got out of alignment again! I did the CE download last night and now because it won't see a bunch of transponder as well as sat 99c it wont' download the guid (at least that's what I think). Tried...

This from a friend of mine. While moving his HR20 around to connect it to an external hard drive he hears popping sounds and blue sparks coming from his unit. Then it is dead! Has anyone heard of that?

Hi, Is there a list of which satellites the HD channels (including locals) are coming from? I"d like to confirm if I need to call DTV to check my installation. thanks!

so, got D* reinstalled sunday. Because I saw that in my old address (50 miles) away the locals included the cw I 'moved" back to the old house. It worked fine for the whole week. Then last night it couldn't find the locals anymore and gave me error 771. I called and we tried troubleshooting...

So, with dish net If I "move" to chicaco or NY I get the four major HD networks because for those locations they are conus. In the past when I had DTV I also "moved" to an area with no HD yet so I qualified for the East HD feed; downside was that I had to pay an extra $1.50/channel. To the...

So, 2-3 months ago my HD Tivo started this weird trend. Every once in a while, when I turn it on I get the "greenish screen of death" where it is almost impossible to see anything. The sound is still ok and the functions are still fine (I can use the menus and all). if it is recording it keeps...

I've been getting Chicago HD stations after I "moved" there. I was gone for a couple of weeks and have a bunch of shows recorded on the 622. It seems though that for every single show recorded on ABC there's a lot of heavy pixelation from time to time (sounds continues normal, but the pic gets...

Comes with original box, remote, cables, etc. Asking $220 plus shipping. The unit won't be available until 01/28 because I'll be gone on vacation till then. PM if interested. Thanks!

Not sure if everybody knows this but DTV gives you the option to put your account on hold for 9 months with no fees. I called them to cancel my account and they gave me that option. The benefits of it (according to them) was that I would still be able to get any offer or promotion that current...

So, to save money during the hollidays I decided to turn off the HD package (all reruns now). I thought that by doing that I would lose the HD feed of the network channels(nice to watch shows 3 hours ahead of time!)and Showtime HD, plus the usual Universal, tnt, etc. As it turns out, I only...

So I called retention cause they "forgot" to give me credit for HBO. While on the phone with the CSR I asked him (just to pass time! :rolleyes: ) about more HD channels. He gave me the same blah blah blah about 100 or so HD channels by summer 07. I said, how's D* gonna do that since there are...

Considering dropping netflix since I don't rent that much movies/month and maybe just doing once a month PPV movie. How's the PPV HD with D* in terms of pic quality? Is it also in HD-lite? Can I record a PPV movie with my HD DVR or is it blocked for recording? Thanks! By the way, has...

:D They're having a 36 month same as cash payment plan for product 499 and up (ie., HD DVD or Blu ray!!!!) and now I'm "forced" to get one!!!;)

Just wondering if I should "move" to LA or NY in order to qualify for DN? DOes that still work?? I have a friend in LA and I'd be "moving" to his house whe he has "everything already set up" so DTV wouldn't have to install anything else for me ;)

Called retention to discontinue my service with DTV since I got the 622 from dish. they ended up offering me to continue with their family package plus $10 discount for a year, plus $5 discount for 6 months (cause I kept HD package); 6 months of showtime; 6 months of HBO for 2 bucks/month and 3...
