    Which of your Locals has the worst HD PQ?

    For me, it's NBC by a long shot but the others still pale in comparison to OTA. It's really a shame because I still have an HR-10 in one room and the quality is better but I can't take advantage of the new channels.

    HR10-250 vs HR20-700 picture quality

    I recently added an HDTV to my bedroom and picked up the HR20-700 for it. Is it my imagination, or does the HR10 have better picture quality on the HD channels? I have not checked the PQ on the same TV, but the TV that my HR20 is hooked up to is a far superior TV and I can see the...

    MTV Hits on D*?

    All of my friends have cable and get a few extra MTV channels and a few extra VH1 channels. I'm sure there are more channels I'm missing out on and D* hasn't added anything since I became a subscriber. Does anyone know if they plan to add MTV Hits or MTV Jams? Thanks

    anyone have Samsung DLP w/ D* HD ?

    I have a 50" Samsung DLP model #HLP5063W and I am using the DirecTivo unit I bought from ValueElectronics.com. I am very pleased with the picture. I have it set up using the HDMI cables supplied with the receiver but I am going to get Monster cables to improve the picture ever so slightly (my...

    Newbie wanting OTA advice

    Thanks for your replies. Hogarth, I do live in Collinsville. Which indoor antenna do you use? I thought about just buying one from a local retailer if they work well enough.

    Newbie wanting OTA advice

    I'm just about to order D* HD service (upgrade from standard service) and the OTA networks are as important to me as what I can get from D* at least until football starts. I am most likely going to order the HDTivo box from Robert's site, so getting the $1049 package from D* that includes the...

    HD Tivo worth it?

    If I do not buy the HD-DVR from D*, but intead from Robert, will I still qualify for the free installation of the new dish?

    HD Tivo worth it?

    I have a question about the HD Tivo that will help me to decide whether it is worth it. Can you record/rewind/pause the local channels from the off-air antenna? Also, will these channels function with the season pass feature? Thanks

    Discussion of D*s upcoming conversion to MPEG 4

    What will DirecTV do when they upgrade to Mpeg-4? I just purchased a HDTV with the intention of upgrading my Tivo to the HD Tivo. Luckily, I read that DirecTV is upgrading their compression to Mpeg-4 and that the current equipment will not be compatible. The TV is great for DVDs, but without...

    Do I need the C satellite?

    I live in an apartment where I was *told* that I would be able to get DirecTV no problem. I have been paying for 3 months and have never had the A satellite come in very well because of a tree that is blocking the way (and currently I have nothing). I just ordered a tripod to relocate the dish...

    Elevation?

    I do not get any signal from the A satellite but I'm fine on the other 2. The elevation the installer set is not what is recommended, but when I changed it I didn't get a picture at all. It is recommended to be at 46 degrees but it is closer to 37 or so. Could this be why I have no A...

    Lots of signal on B and C, nada on A

    I am having the same problem. I had a tree trimmed back and everything and it seems as though nothing is in the way. I have the NFL ticket also and I'm going to be really upset if I can never get the A. Also, the tilt that shows to be recommended is much different from what the installer...
