    NESN HD not in service?

    I switched from Dish about a month and a half ago so I wouldn't have to watch the Red Sox in SD anymore. Opening Day, and I get a blank screen and a "771 Searching for signal" error. Call DTV and am told this is a known issue from an equipment failure, I'll be back up soon? That's just...

    I'm confused re: Protection Plan

    I did a search and read the recent thread on this topic, but I find myself confused. Maybe I'm an idiot. I had Dish Network for 5 years, recently switched to Directv. I did NOT have any protection plan on Dish. Twice in the 5 years I had to have service calls for bad equipment (one switch...

    Software Upgrade for HR-2x today?

    I just did this on mine and no change. It's a HR21-700. Any advice on what I did wrong? I chose search -- keyword search. Typed in 30SKIP. The it asked me to choose a channel category..I left it on ALL and searched. No programs found (of course). Then I exited, figured I'd be all set...

    How to get an additional $240 off as a new DirecTV customer

    My re-order from Friday looks much better, although there is no line for the 1 year free Showtime (the rep verbally told me at time of order that I was getting it). Should I call back a third time, or you think it is in there?

    How to get an additional $240 off as a new DirecTV customer

    Just off the horn with customer service, then sales again. They did have to cancel the order, he didn't have the DVR on it! Fool. I don't know if he got all the discounts (I doubt it) but the new rep I got this time was most helpful and I could tell she made sure everything was OK. My...

    How to get an additional $240 off as a new DirecTV customer

    Of course it couldn't be easy, my order looks to be FUBAR... I asked for Premier package, 1 HD DVR and 1 SD receiver. AAA discount, 10/off for 12 months, $50 referral, free Showtime for a year. Here's the order summary as it stands now... Item Quantity Amount PREMIER P000002244000000001...

    How to get an additional $240 off as a new DirecTV customer

    I can hardly believe how good this deal is. I just called and ordered (switching from E*). I'll save 40 bucks a month AND get NESN-HD to watch the Sox! Rock on.

    Adding service to a detached garage

    Makes perfect sense, thank you!

    Adding service to a detached garage

    Ok, thanks. Now a follow up. This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find the answer by searching...:confused: Whereas I'm only going to watch one channel, my assumption would be that I only need to receive the signal from one satellite. If this is so, why wouldn't a single LNB...

    Adding service to a detached garage

    I'm not certain, but I think it is MPEG4.

    Adding service to a detached garage

    Probably would, but I'm thinking installing a new dish will be easier than digging a 100+ foot long trench to run a line!

    Adding service to a detached garage

    Hi all, I spend a good deal of summer time in my garage, which is about 100 feet from my house. I'm toying with the idea of setting up a TV out there so I can catch Red Sox games this summer. A little plasma or LCD hi-def guy...I figure if I'm going to do it then I should do it right...

    You guys rock, thanks for the input.

    To get NESN-HD...

    Thank you, sir, that answers my question about the base package, any Total Choice! Would it be correct to assume that the HD package is required in order to receive this in HD? (I don't see that answer anywhere).

    To get NESN-HD...

    D* Website I should have been more clear...I DID check out the website, but I cannot decipher what packages would include NESN-HD. :confused: For example, the HD package add-on lists 7 national HD channels, but doesn't say if this is required to get NESN in HD. Is it? I don't need the...

    To get NESN-HD...

    Hi all, Dish Network subscriber here. Am becoming fed up with their lack of urgency in bringing us the RSNs in HD...in my case, NESN-HD. From the scuttlebutt I'm hearing, definitely not a definite that it will be in place for this year's baseball season. And I'm not going another season...

    Nesn HD and other RSN Info

    But you have to like watching NESN in SD like I do, with all their HD promo in ads and banner graphics, right? Comcast, Time Warner, Aldelphia, Cox, etc etc etc all have us in HD! Yay HD!

    Please give me HD NESN

    Jimbo and Lou Do are right...won't happen until they can roll them all out. I'd pay $100 a month in summer to get NESN HD, as baseball is all I watch, if only someone would provide it. But, too bad for me and too bad for you, Sady. I must go to my sister's house one town over where they...

    Nesn

    There is nothing I want more than NESN in HD for the Red Sox games. I would give up every other HD channel to get it, but that's not an option. Comcast service terminates one town east of me. My town was smart enough to sign a 10 year deal with Time Warner out of Albany, NY (we're in...

    Boston MPEG4

    Scott, Do you get all NESN programming via EXPRESSVU? I'm a Red Sox fan, those games are what I want to watch the most in HDTV, and I have no way to receive the feeds...no Comcast in my area. Thanks for any info that you can provide! Mike
