    Which is newer/better

    Well, I just opened up the new H20 D* sent out to me, and it is an H20-100. My old one was an h20-600. Any major difference. Which should I keep? p.s. HDMI IS working for video out.

    Yet another new H20 Horror Story...

    ** Please understand that I love my DirecTV. Unless Comcast PAID ME monthly, I'd never switch back, so please don't jump down my throat claiming I am a D* basher. This is a serious post about an issue that needs addressing ** I was a victim of the H20 reboots in September. After reading...

    Amazing News!

    Ok, take this with a grain of salt, but I was taking a leak at a Denny's in Cheyenne, Wyoming and overheard two D* installers talking about the impending launch of C-SPAN in HD! Could this be the mysterious Channell 77 we've been hearing about?

    Questions for those who have already upgraded to Mpeg 4

    I got my upgrade done yesterday. PQ is solid! My question is, why do I only get NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX in HD. Why not UPN, WB and PBS?

    HD Upgrade Info

    I had the installer out this weekend to do my upgrade. Apparently no one took the time to look at my account to see that with the number of boxes I have (4 rooms, one with Tivo) that I'd need a new multi-switch. Result was a wasted Saturday and an unhappy installer yesterday who had to brave...

    Samsung 160 vs. RCA H10...

    I've had my Samsung box for 2 plus years now. Last night, I was at a buddy's house and th epicture on his H10 seemed a helluva lot clearer on TNT. Granted, he's got a 42" plasma vs. my 65" RPTV, so the smaller picture will always appear crisper, but the 480 broadcats seemed a LOT better...

    HD Receiver Preferences

    I bought a Samsung SIR-T160 last year when I first got DirecTV, because it was the only receiver available to me. How does this stack up against other receivers?? Should I upgrade??
