    HD quality with new dish

    All- I have the new dish and the H20 HD receiver. But lately, I have been having issues, MAJOR issues. From time to time, the screen (on every channel, HD or no) starts to "flicker" and is brighter and darker in horizonatal lines. This goes on for a while until the screen goes black with red...

    Detroit Locals with the new HD

    Hi all- I have an appointment to get the new receiver and dish on Friday. I am REALLY looking forward to it because my OTA HD reception is sometimes so damn annoying. For instance, it'll work fine for the wife when Desperate Housewives is on, but on Monday night Football, it keeps...

    Detroit Metro Locals in HD

    Pardon me if I haven't been paying attention lately, but the Best Buy ad here has an HD receiver for sale and the fine print says : "Requires a 5-LNB dish". Is this now available in Detroit? Should I call DirecTV and have them upgrade my HD receiver and dish (its free, right) for MPEG-4?

    Locals in HD???

    I just heard a rumor from a friend of mine (another DirecTV owner). He mentioned that a new satellite will allow me/us to get local channels in HD (here in the Detroit Metro Area). Is this true? What is the timeframe (or where can I find out that information)? Also, will this mean I can...

    Samsung 360 and locking up

    Hey guys, I am not sure if "locking up" is the correct term, but as of late I have noticed some strange behavior with my 360 reciever. Whenever I press a button on the remote (ANY button) it takes about 5 seconds before the action occurs. For instance, if I press the guide button I can...

    OK, What is O&O?

    I have seen this term in the discussions abotu FOX HD on channel 88. So, a couple of questions for those more elightened than I: 1. What is O&O? 2. Am I in an "O&O area" in Metro Detroit, MI? 3. How come I can't see anything on channel 88? Is it like CBSE, etc in that I live too close to...

    OTA and Samsung 360

    Hey all. More issues... I am getting SO annoyed with my HD! I have an OTA that gets me the local channels and on Sundays I get a couple of games in HD on FOX and CBS. However, EVERY time I attempt to watch a game in HD (this seems to happen mostly, if not ONLY, during LIVE broadcasts), the...

    OTA Searching for signal

    As I have said here recently, I had HD installed last Friday and am still getting used to it. HOwever, the locals I get on the OTA sometimes go in and out. For example, I'll be watching a show and then it'll go blank, say "searching for signal" then pop back on, then go blank, say "searching...

    Audio out of sync

    I just got my HD set up on Friday and have been "playing" around watching the different channels. I really love ESPN-HD. I have a couple of questions, though. 1. I have noticed that often (mostly during commercials) the audio is WAY out of sync with the video. This is not true on the...

    Best Connection Type?

    I just go HDTV installed at home and I got the Samsung TS360 receiver. I got to say, at first blush, I am not that impressed with the signal. For instance, ESPNHD is in some sort of cropped 4:3 ratio...can I make it 16:9. Also, what is the BEST way to connect the reciever? right now, I am...

    How do I know what locals are in HD?

    Is there a site or something that will tell me what channels I get locally in HD? That is, if I get the HD package with an OTA Antenna, what local channels will I get in HD in the Detroit area?

    Questions about DirecTV and HDTV

    I currently have an HDTV, but am receiving "normal" non-HDTV signal from DirecTV. I also have a 2-receiver TIVO hooked up to the main TV. I was thinking about getting HDTV, but I have some questions and was hoping to find help here. 1. I heard that DirecTV does NOT transmit the local...
