My thought would be easiest way to deal with the neighbor is to disconnect his lines and if he comes over and bitches about it tell him you were having signal issues with your dish and you noticed the new lines in Your Dish that should not have been there and that when you removed them the...

No they do not. They only upgraded their master control to HD and not their studios and control rooms. Too expensive for them. So what they did instead was to upgrade an HD output from their master control and just use a Graphics PC to fill in the rest of the HD. So their HD channel is...

Its not surprising they are doing this. With the ability that you have now with a number of DVRs, not sure with Direct's system as I haven't had a chance to mess with mine yet, you can install additional hard drives to increase your storage. My personal PC is a Media Center with the pull hard...

There is a signal in the data stream of most of the pay movie channels that will not allow you to burn the film on most newer DVD recorders and PC burners. It is there generally by the film companies and not necessarily the cable channel. I have run across it on the majority of the films on...

You are correct. I have my media center PC connected to my HD DVR via a regular coax connection since the PC is still SD, and have the component outs going to my HDTV. The HD channels are not aspected correctly on the media center but the regular SD channels are fine. So yes, all of the...

Are you sure your modem is a router as well? Most routers have multiple ethernet ports on them. If yours only has one ethernet port then it sounds like it is just a modem and not a modem/router. This could be your problem. Someone with better networking knowledge than mine might be able...

I'm just curious what he did to rack up a $1000 bill and the circumstances around it are now. The boards would love to hear this if you would be so kind to enlighten us on it.

Yes you have it about right. A 4 port router hub would work fine for you. No need to get the homewire kit and waste the money just go to your local computer store, get your self a router and 2 ethernet cables and you should be all set. You use the ethernet cable currently going into your PC...

Yes this a big problem for all HD networks both from the channel side and the cable/satellite provider side,especially when you are dealing in both HD and SD formats. The problem is that there has been one set of standard audio/video timing in use for the past 20-30 years for SD formats but HD...

Sounds like it is one of those things that happens when a team doesn't get to a set number of ticket sales and they are blacked out of their region. Happens now and again with the NFL as well. If a team doesn't sell something like 90% of all available tickets for the NFL or something like that...

Have the same issue in Atlanta. Usually happens during prime time to all the local HD Affils. OTA is fine it is just the Satellite stuff that gets the digital hits. It looks to me to be more of a local affil uplink problem more than likely since nothing else has this problem during the same...

Yes. Too many people are going to be sticking with SD until they or their sets die. Alot of folks don't realize how much better HD is and most others just don't want to spend the money on it.

Unfortunately we are all about to be screwed when it comes to programming for a while now. With the writer strike expected to last a number of months no new HD programming will be on the horizon soon. If it hasn't already been shot it is not finished shooting it is not going to be finished...

D* will count it because it helps them against Comcast who tries to count each individual HD Video on Demand item when they say they have more HD. Which always makes me laugh.

Each channel can do its own thing. CNN is in stereo on HD but not 5.1. I think alot of networks don't always think about audio when they do their HD nets or that is usually the first thing to be cut for budget reasons.

Anyone else in the Atlanta area having all kinds of HD signal breakup from the local NBC affil right now? Seems like the past 2 weeks they have just been horrible on the local HD channel. SD is fine HD is bad, all other HD is fine and signal strengths are fine but still get a ton of break up...

Hey everyone, thought this little clipping from another website might clear up some of the CNNHD when it is and isn't HD. This is taken from the September 1 press release from CNN. I got it from the What's Happening at CNN website. "For CNN HD, programs produced in high definition will...
