WTF, DTV? Halloween is still 10 days away.

Had to reboot my HR20 this morning. Turned everything off and went out for a couple of hours. When I got back I had to reboot all over again. WTF?

I'd be way more impressed if it was 23 national HD channels and 4 RSNs. As far as I'm concerned RSNs are a complete, total waste of bandwidth.

There's this whole thing of being "nickel-and-dimed" to death by D*. It's just another way for them to weasel money out of people, this time by charging for HD channels which had until recently been included in the $9.99/month access fee. $5/month doesn't seem like much, but when you get an...

Zeroes in Phoenix today. Please, no jokes. I was talking about the TPs, not the population.

Yeah, you should feel special. She totally liked you. I'd love to get that deal. You might be on a roll, try buying lottery tickets or asking for a raise.

Oh my freaking God. When I started reading this thread I thought it was a joke. But the D* site does have something about it. You need to input personal information, they probably run another credit check on you to make sure you're not a deadbeat and can afford it. Imagine paying 10K a...

Sort of off-topic, but is it a fair statement to make that if you are a big sports fan D* is the service to have, but if you're not a sports fan E* is the one to have?

I called D* on Friday to talk to them about all the HD offerings available on E* and not D*. The CSR told me flat out that yeah, E* was kicking their butts on the HD front and they knew it. He also gave me the standard line about how things are going to get better in 2007 when D* will provide...

I wish they would get rid of the shopping channels. All crap, all day long. Complete waste of bandwidth that could be used to alleviate, oh I don't know, HD Lite maybe?

I leave mine at 1080i. Works the best for me.

Hey, that's an opinion that's just as valid as someone wishing there was more Christian content. I happen to agree with Hogarth 100%. And as for the "trash on the other channels" you should be glad it's there, because without it D* couldn't survive and you wouldn't have any Christian...

??! - Since when did HD-Lite become the "industry standard"? Just because D* says so? How sad and pathetic. Somebody up there bites it, DirecTV.

Come on guys, don't you just love the summer monsoon? When those big ol' cumulo-nimbus clouds pile up above the Rim and come screaming into the valley around sunset? And what can be more fun than gathering the kids and grandma around the swamp cooler and watching a dust storm? Good times...

I wonder if they dumped NWI because of some contractual issues or whether some genius at D* decided no one was watching? I have to believe the former because there's no way that moronic claptrap like World Harvest Television or BYU-TV is more popular. They better not dump LINK. Now that is...

IMO Discovery HD has taken a hit in PQ recently, it used to have the "stunning clarity" they tout on the D* HD adverts but now looks only slightly better than SD. Maybe they're shifting bandwidth around and shoveled some extra bitrate at HBO HD. No matter, they need to cut the crap and make...

DMA List That would be here: http://www.nielsenmedia.com/DMAs.html

Couldn't agree more. There is so much wasted bandwidth it's ridiculous. WTF is up with having HBOH and SHOH on two different channels each? If they got rid of half the religious claptrap and the CrapMax shopping channels and the channels devoted to flogging their own services, there'd be...

I've had the Zenith for over 2 years now, and I gotta tell you, before the latest software update came down a couple of months ago, I was ready to throw it out the window. The biggest problem I had was freezing up. If you didn't point the remote control DIRECTLY at the unit the picture would...

I know that "it's just television" and there are plenty of other more important things we could/should be worried about, but D* is a pay service and I feel you have a right to demand quality and to get in their faces when they start slacking off. Would anyone accept poor quality drugs from...
