My buddy just had D* installed and his HR23 is matte black.

I was wondering this same thing. Spoke with Verizon about Fios tonight and it got me looking at my DirecTV account. I have total choice plus w/HD pack + lifetime DVR. I saw the new package that seems similar is $11 more than what I pay currently (I know part of that break is because my DVR...

Of course I went over to a friends house to watch it last night, his service provider does not have Speed HD.

thanks cb35

Can someone help me out real quick and list which of the new HD channels are showing the same thing as the SD channel and which ones are different? I have been out of town for the last 3 weeks, I will be home hopefully by wednesday (looking forward to checking out all the new HD channels) and...

Will any HD tomorrow be MUSIC to our ears? Update: Actually looking at the HD Updates post, it looks like MHD may have already been added back on the 4th. I have been out of town since right after the first batch of new channels released.

Any reason you can't just use DirecTVs HD DVR?

Well I certainly am glad they are finally up, that was a long wait. I do have to say (and I am not complaining) I am very surprised that the MTV HD (MHD) and National Geographic HD were not part of the first roll out of channels. I thought those 2 channels were the ones D* had run some of their...

Still no 9300 on my HR20 but 9301 is working fine. 9300 did work for me the first day they started these test channels. Do I need to reset my box or something?

Same thing here

Yeah I was gonna say the same thing, the new show is now SD. Big difference though on Discovery, the show Dirty Jobs comparing the HD channel to the SD channel.

I'm getting them both right now. They look pretty good. Tried to record some of it with no luck though.

It's too bad for you guys that when D* will be airing the World Series games, the team from the American league will be the Angels. :)

A very good friend of mine has Fios TV and from what I have seen it looks wonderful. If it's available in your area it's worth checking out IMO.

Just thinking back briefly, when I upgraded my HD Tivo to the new HD DVR and slimline, part of my deal was 3 free months of a premium channel. The CSR really tried to push Starz on me saying there would be like 5 Starz HD channels etc... I opted for Showtime (I subscribe to HBO) as I can get my...

I got "An Update" from my insider today too, I'm still trying to figure it out but here is what he sent me.

Check this thread http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-dvr-forum/104425-hr20-100-vs-hr20-700-a.html

Just so I know is the AT-9 the slimline or the slightly older 5lnb dish? SW68 what's that? Anything worth noting on differences between the H20 and H21? I'm pretty sure I got an H20 (I guess it could be a H21 though as I did not really look) with my install last week along with the HR20.

This is potentially great news, I know a lot of us have been waiting since the day they first announced these plans, seems like so long ago. Now lets all just hope we get some excellent quality HD feeds. Should we expect all the current HD channels to switch to Mpeg 4 when this new sat goes...

Thanks Brewer4. So in response to #3, I can get a 750GB internal drive, replace the 320GB internally with the 750GB and it will just format to work with nothing else needing to be done at all. If that's the case I might just give it a shot. (Probably been asked before but) Curious if this...

Thanks Kinda a bummer to have to do that, but if that's the only option then that's what I'll have to do. I just am not liking the double channel listing for the locals, I've got two, 2s, 4s, 5s, 7s, etc.. on my locals, I can remove the SD version of the channels as I will never watch those...

Any tips for Removing Channels from the guide?

I'm new to the Mpeg 4 boxes so please bare with me a second. From the little bit of reading I did in the Living on the edge forum: If you hook an external drive up, the internal drive does not function, is that correct? Is there any indication that we may someday be able to combine the...

Called for my upgrade today, To my surprise they are installing on Monday morning. Replacing my HD-Tivo with the new HD-DVR (actually moving the HD-Tivo to another room) and also getting a regular HD box to replace another old Samsung HD box. New slimline dish is also going up on Monday.

I've been getting the UFC in HD since it has been offered. I thought the last fight actually looked pretty good and some friends even made some nice comments of how much better it looks in HD. I think it's worth the 10 bucks myself.
