Albany, GA and Montgomery, AL will also be coming... ~Alan

Columbus, GA SD-LIL is coming... ~Alan

From my understanding, digital affiliates don't count due the number of people capable of redeiving them... and DirecTV can still give you access to a "regional" CW affiliate. ~Alan

They agreed to continue supporting the current TiVos out there, as well as allowing customers to activate other TiVo boxes (currently deactivated units, EBay purchases, etc..), but HD-TiVo users will be out of luck for new programming from DirecTV since it will be MPEG2 only. The poster above...

I know that DirecTV doesn't offer the opposite coast HD-DNS, but they don't offer West coast SD-DNS to East coast folks (I know West coast folks can't get East) anymore, either?! ~Alan

Basically, mine is a very simple setup. I have a Phase III dish going into a 5x8 multi-switch powering one HD-TiVo, two SD DirecTiVos, and an older DirecTV receiver (that's not currently activated). I also have an antenna going on a seperate line to my HD-TiVo. However, I want to feed an...

What kind of splitter would that be? Power splitter, or just a regular run-of-the-mill splitter? Will I need to buy anything else to go in the room with the stand-alone TiVo?! I'm going to town tomorrow to get some added supplies, so I need to know what I need to get. Also, can you...

Since I've been tired of hoping that DirecTV would offer SD-LIL here, and wanting the ability to DVR NBC, FOX & The CW (come Fall) programming in SD (I have CBS and ABC via DNS), I took advantage of Circuit City's free Stand-Alone TiVo (after rebates)... but now I need to figure out how to hook...

However, WTLH-HD will be full-power HD this Summer, long before DirecTV gets around to carrying them. ~Alan

While I like Charper's list (my DMA is listed), your scenario is consistent of what DirecTV has said in the past... ~Alan

Dish Network really came into this DMA when DirecTV was handled by Pegasus, and then when Dish Network added LIL, the SuperDISHes started popping up big time... I've seen more DirecTV dishes than I used to, but Dish Network is still the king around here... ~Alan

It has already been stated that DirecTV will add Sleuth this Spring.

Well, at least it looks like they won't be replacing the HD-TiVos with leased HR20-250s... that much is good anyway... ~Alan

Plus, let's not forget that that $799 is more than likely for the HD-TiVo, and DirecTV may offer a cheaper price on the HR20-250. ~Alan

A guy on the Tallahassee, FL (DMA #109) message board over on AVSForum.com was told by a contractor that DirecTV would be adding HD-LIL for them in a month or two. I told him that the contractor probably didn't know what he was talking about... when the FOX engineer said that, and I qoute...

I wasn't counting WB, PBS or UPN affiliates as Independents. Does WPWR-DT do any HD programming other than UPN programming?! If not, odds are that they probably won't offer HD programming for a while. WCIU-DT however, is EXACTLY the type I was referring to, though it reminds me of my...

I doubt that DirecTV knew about The WB and UPN's demise... however, DirecTV might be more inclined to add The CW once it premieres since Tandberg has stated that DirecTV successfully put 6 MPEG4 HD channels on one transponder, and most markets will only have 6 HD channels this Fall compared to...

How many Independents in HD does Chicago have?! ~Alan

Very true! Plus, with converting the four PST & MST time zones' DNS to MPEG4 this Summer, and most likely CST AND EST this Fall, they will save quite a bit of bandwith from converting 8 channels to MPEG4 that (I would think) they could easily add another HD-Lite (MPEG2) channel, or a couple of...

Which part is he correct about?! BTW, if you're not in a HD-LIL DMA, and they don't have any "national" beam, how will the installer be able to aim it properly?! ~Alan

Unless things change dramatically, expect that to change once they get down to the smaller markets in 2007 since most of those markets can't do either of those! ~Alan

Once that happens, I'm sure there will be AT9s popping up on EBay shortly! ;) ~Alan

That's not exactly true, since some people only have the single LNB dish, and some markets require a Phase III dish. There are also some markets that are on 72.5, and the customer would need a second dish to receive those SV channels. What is being said, which is very plausible, is that...

Not to steal any of 01ds650's thunder, but ebonovic from TiVoCommunity has a fantastic review of the R15 over there complete with pictures and such. Click on the link below to read it: A Review of the R15 ~Alan

I believe it was Tandberg that had a press release (or some sort of patting on the back) that announced that their MPEG4 encoders (like the ones DirecTV is using) allowed DirecTV to put SIX HD channels on a transponder. I do not remember if it was said that the six was the number for how...
