In the Reno, NV area, there are ota that claim to be broadcasting in HD, but they are not. The am21/genie combo shows them as sd. There is a channel that broadcasts in HD, I think it is 46.1. I get this on my ota tuner off my tivo. Looks great, nice HD. However, on the am21/genie combo, the...

That's a shame- my tivo (I pay $10 a month for ota service) gets 27.2, the HD feed just fine. Too bad that you can't manually configure the am21 to record it (since it probably says something like "regular programming" in the channel guide instead of the program names that are on the sd feeds...

Tell me, what have you done so far this summer? I started the summer by seeing the Scorpions perform, spent five days in Las Vegas , three in a suite at the MGM, two days in San Dimas (went to the water park), saw the Dodgers play the White Sox (seats behind home plate), then flew to Kailoa...

I live near Lake Tahoe. We don't get light fluffy snow like some get, we get water rich, heavy snow- we call it "Sierra Cement". It also can come with 50mph+ winds. Installer came, I asked about am21, he said he never heard of it, so I showed him a pic of it. He called warehouse and they...

I left direct tv maybe 5 years ago, whatever module I had was sent with the dvr when I mailed it back. Yes, I am quite aware that my set has a tuner in it. However, it can't record! You say I should move on, but I haven't even gotten service yet!

I better or I cancel! I got one free five years ago. I signed up yesterday with direct and the installer comes in a few hours. Talked to Direct and the woman of course interrogated me about why I wanted to get ota reception and i told her that when dish gets hit with snow, I get no reception...

I called today. They lost me when they told me that I would have to pay $50 for an ota tuner module.That wipes out much of the reason to switch. My old hv20 had a ota tuner, don't see why I should have to pay for o e on a leased box.fwiw, dish gave me one for free and it works better than...

That's what the mailer said- three free months of Starz/Showtime, some other discount which I forgot and they'll pay the cancellation penalty, up to $200. Send in the invoice and they will give a visa debit card equal to the penalty for leaving Dish early. Could be good for me as I think my free...

I just finished a two year contract. For renewing for another two years (resign) I was given free HDTV/Showtime/HBO for one year. Yeah, I have no committment now, but would like some free stuff stuff, otherwise I'll just go somewhere else.

Last time I renewed, they gave me one year of free HBO, Showtime and free HDTV for the year as well. What do they offer now? Also, I I have no interest in sports. I have an old TIVo HD DVR in the bedroom- will they give me a free HD DVR to replace that?

I don't really need an extra dvr. I do have my old Tivo 10-250 in the bedroom, but I hardly ever watch it and the last thing i want is to get stuck with another "lease fee" for a PVR (I own the Tivo). I have done my best to search for differences between the 100 and the 700 on this forum and...

Ok, last night, on its own, the digital output on my HR20-100 came back to life and started working! Must be some software deal. Fedex dropped off a new (or refurbed) reciever today. It is a HR20-700. Should I keep the 700, or call up Direct and tell them that my 100 is working again? Which...

The HR 20 is connected to my reciever via optical connector. Both the optical and coax outputs are not working (I confirmed this), so now I have to listen with a stereo rca cable hooked up between the two (no dolby, of course). My tv doesn't have an hd tuner built in, but even if it did, I...

What can I do? My HV 20 is having audio problems an they say it needs to be swapped out. They said that the HV21 doesn't have a tuner, but I can get one for $50. Well, heck, why should I have to pay for a tuner when my old one had one? Is there anyway I can get them to pay for the tuner? In case...

I have a 65" Sony crtr ptv set that I have done lots of tweaks to, not just those you use a disk for. My locals look identical to ota. I have switched back and forth on them too. Macroblocking? I get plenty of that with ota- they share their signal with subcarriers and it shows. I am happy with...

Poppycock! The OP has been with Direct for way longer than me and has spent more $ than I to boot. He his a valuable subscriber to them and they won't blow him off.

Here's a post I made lasts week about my experience: " I just got a new H20 PVR yesterday for free. I have been with them for 23 months (term is up next month) and my monthly bill is $80 for that time. I called up CSR, they told me that they would sell me a H20 for $129 and give me free HBo...

Dish told me that was their offer to me as a former DISH customer. When I called them, they were able to identify me immediately as a former subscriber based on the my home phone number. I told the guy that I needed to talk to my wife about their offer- if I called back, would that offer still...

I doubt that would happen. However, prior to contacting Direct a second time, I contacted DISH and they offered me a free HD PVR and three months HBO which hey, was still better than Direct's first offer.

Yeah, that's it. I was unsure of the exact number, that's why I repeatedly mentioned "pvr". I have a HR20 -100s. manufactored in Mexico in 5/07. The only thing that I don't like about it, compared to the H10 is that skip ahead is not instant; it is like a a 1/2 second of FF. It has worked...

I just got a new H20 PVR yesterday for free. I have been with them for 23 months (term is up next month) and my monthly bill is $80 for that time. I called up CSR, they told me that they would sell me a H20 for $129 and give me free HBo for three months. SCREW THAT!!!! Here's what I did, try...

I just installed a Radio Shack $99 antenna. The thing is huge (14')and my signal strength went from 60 to 90 (it replaced an old RS antenna that was 1/3 the size). One problem with a large antenna like this is that they can get chewed up by frequent high winds.

On my 65" Sony, Direct HD pq ranges anywhere from below DVD quality to a little bit better than vhs. I have seen some really poor pq on Discovery. I used to love watching Discovery HD, but now it is just unwatchable. PQ with local HD channels is perfect, but then, hey, that's off the antenna...

I would like to et them, but I don't want to carry on the fight if they look like crud. Lately, Discovery HD has been looking pretty bad- do the HD networks look better?

Maybe the answer is , when you are looking for a place to "move", pick a place that is low on the list of markets to switch to mpeg4.
