    DIRECTV to Launch ESPN 3D to Millions of Customers Nationwide

    3D is not for me, constant headache, I will not be suprised if we'll hear some links to brain tumors later. 3D = SD on steroids. That said, I am not against it, if somebody wants it and somebody wants to provide it - so be it. I'll just pass:-)

    HD DVR causing TV to turn off?

    It is your TV and not DVR. My TV (Mitsubishi DLP) likes to turn itself off very often:mad:. It is a manufacturer defect and apparenty they can't fix it. So check your TV manufacturer website and/or Google your TV model with turns off

    DIRECTV Now the Exclusive Satellite TV Provider of RTVi Russian Television Network

    Both D* and E* should close their Russian programming. Because it costs too much and the choices are very limited. Who are interested in broad Russian TV selection should look for the online service Webtelek.com, $15/month for about 70 channels.

    Good deal NFL-ST

    I cancelled Sunday ticket three weeks ago, the guy offered some deal at that time, but he couldn't convince me. Now, two days ago got a bill, and thre was a line for Superfan $16.xx for 1 of 6 payments. So I called D* and they said that it was not cancelled. The guy offered $24.99 for 6 months +...

    Are there ANY former E* users that have switched to D*?

    OK, dual tuners, so what. For me it doesn't matter, my all three TVs are HD, why do I need a second SD feed? With Dish I had 1 HD DVR and used it with the projector (via HDMI) and HDTV (via component. It worked. With DirecTV I took two HD DVRS and now can watch two independent programs in HD...

    DirecTV does not support multi room DVR functionality DISH does

    :rolleyes: According to your info D* doesn't need to do anything. You can have a second HD DVR for just extra $5/month. So you will have 4 tuners for 2 HDTVs and can watch two independent programs in HD for less. I am glad I switched and ordered a second HD DVR from D*. With E* it was more...

    Signed up for Dtv yesterday, canceled today :(

    All you needed to is just to be sure that it was written in there notes, so just call them ans ask to read notes. If it is written, then they will deliver. At least it happened to me, when they gave me a partial credit for a second HD DVR HR20, they couldn't provide, on a condition that I will...

    Thinking Of Switching To E*, Need Advice

    I have a very different opinion. A lot of confusion here. I had Dish, know very well 622 HD DVR receiver, and can tell that D* is on par with it. "Slowness" of D* receiver is mostly caused by a native resolution feature turned ON (BTW you can't get it with E*). If yoy turn it off you will get...

    how to hook up more then on TV to DirectvHD receiver

    Try HDMI 1-> 4 splitter. Try one from Monoprice. It did not work for me. Maybe because two TVs I have are 1080p, and projector is 720p. I use 2 HDDVR for three TVs. TV1 is connected with component cables with HDDVR1, HDDVR2, TV2 is connected with HDDVR1 with 50' HDMI cable, projector is...

    Question if I switch from DISH

    It depends on your kid's TVs inputs. If they have HDMI, then use HDMI cable. If not then use RF modulator. I use HR20 and HR21 on a main TV with component cables and use HDMI outputs from the receivers to feed my HD projector in the basement (40' HDMI cable + 50' Toslink cable to a sound...

    Differance between

    I have both HR20, HR21, and find only these differences other then OTA in HR20: 1. Slightly different color schemes (maybe because I use different TV inputs). I like HR21 colors more. 2. Different resolution for program guide. I like the look of HR20 guide more.

    E* to D* - what to expect from 722 to HR21?

    Other then different channel numbers, which you will get yse to soom enough, HR20/21 (have both) are very close to 622 (which I had with E*). You will get all you want from DVR. Also HD picture is better on D* and much more channels in HD too.

    Direc VOD? Cant get a straight answer

    Just connect the ethernet port of HR20 with your router. If you need connect with one cable laptop and HR20, then connect this cable to an ethernet switch (~$20) if you have a router at the cable modem, or to a router (~$40), if the laptop is connected directly to the cable modem. Then connect...

    I can only compare it to E* picture, just switched to D* a week ago and still got prepaid most E* HD channels (from 129, 110-119 is replaced with Slimline). D* HD PQ is mostly much better the same channels on E*. Starz is just so much better on D*. I read a lot things about D* HD DVR. What I...
