    New HD Channels?

    I am thinking seriously of dropping VZ and going back to *D. The only problem I ever had with *d was billing. They sent a bill in the mail for years and when I didn't get one in the mail. I woke up and found my direct tv connection no longer worked. I signed on to the *D website and saw that my...

    New HD Channels?

    I left Direct for Verizon but Direct is starting to appeal to me again. Don't like the guide or remote or the dvr. Tried to get a new remote for the new guide and called and talked to 7 different csr's and was unable to get a new remote. I even offered to pay for it. I have to say that is fairly...

    Rumor - Free Hd Equipment From Direct?

    I'm going to let the dust settle. Not make any two year commitments until I see what Direct is going to offer HD wise. If I don't have a good feeling about what I see going on at that time. I will possibly make a change. I hope that Verizon will have their thing going and I will take a long...

    Just a Clue about ABC-HD on Directv

    I wouldn't look for any new additions to HD until the new sat's are up and running. I gave up on rumors after listening to Charlie and his bunch for a couple of years of things to come. Unless it's a PR from direct I would not put any trust on rumor this or rumor that. It will happen but only...

    TNT HD???? anytime soon

    Direct is starting to sound a lot like Charlie and the rumors that was consuming Dish when I was there. Is this a sign that there is a lot of former Dish customer now with Direct. We'll have to ask Direct to start having a Monday night chat with Rupert if this keeps up.

    Sound Loss When HD Comes On

    Why is it my sound volume drops to next to nothing when I watch HD. I have to turn it up to 60-70% volume to hear it well. I have no audio devices hooked up. Using only my Sony's speakers. Then when I go back to SD it knocks you out of the chair.

    :usa I'll be keeping the HD package. We already have ESPN and soon to have ESPN2. We have HBO and Showtime in HD. Recently added BravoHD. Even though it's programming leaves a lot to be desired. We have HD Discover and the HD NETS. We have CBS and NBC in HD and will be adding Fox soon. I can't...

    A Billing Question

    I also get billed 4.99 for what they call a DVR fee. Didi Direct change their billing procedures on dvr's. It seems like they are exaclty like dish was when I was with them. Am I wrong about this?

    Bravo HD

    Bravo sucks so far. Not worth watching unless you like opera. I hope it improves. The only thibng that I have seen that I like is the Circus De (something) and after a couple of times watching that it to becomes boring.

    BravoHD is on!!!

    I would have to think that if Bravo follows suit and is repitive as DSHD,HDNM, and HDN then you will be correct in stating there is no need for DVR'S. But, for right now I view it as programming that I have not seen on the HD channels that are now on line and I find it as entertaining as they...

    BravoHD is on!!!

    At 10 PM PST last night the Circus du {something} came on Bravo HD. Not only was the PQ absolutely stunning the circus (acrobatic type) was one the best I have ever watched on tv. It was completley original and unique. I hope they replay it as I would like to see it again. If this is a sample of...

    I have had both of them and their is no comparison, in my opinion, the TIVO wins hands down. Would never go back to Dish and listen to Charlie promise stuff in Charlie Chat that rarely comes to pass..
