    Ultimate tv by microsoft

    Yes - its still fully supported and is an awesome DVR - running 2 of them now. It'll just never be upgraded but I can't really say I have experienced any bugs in the past few years.

    'Fans of D*' Group???

    Yes - but if you then assume a cost basis, the HDs will net out pretty evenly on net profit. Let's say cost is $30 per customer (initial setup, programming, billing, advertising, etc). Now using your example: 100% 15,000,000 subs 25% HD Users 3,750,000 x ($100/mo - $30 cost) = 262,500,000 75%...

    Moving soon - Have a few questions.

    You will have to use D* Movers Connection at 1-877-616-MOVE. They will basically put up a dish to get you connected for your current services. You will really need to negotiate all these things with them as they will only offer you the basics. New wall fish to all rooms will definitely be an...

    ABC HD w/ no sound?

    Since you are using the new receiver, I would just contact D* as there may be a specific setting or it could be an issue with your receiver. We could go through a lot of audio settings etc but since this new technology using a new datafeed, I would go straight to support for this.

    Horrible Mpeg-4 Upgrade Experience in Atlanta (Long-Sorry!)

    Yea -I have had a really bad experience with a local installer. I got the run around like you received but made them at least send the guy to do the initial install (in my case, it was a movers connection with a new HD Tivo so I had no satellite until they came - said no Tivos were in so they...

    ABC HD w/ no sound?

    Need more info - is it always missing the sound or only certain shows? Is it OTA or satellite reception of channels? I have that problem with the Atlanta station OTA sometimes. Mostly Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy but it does come back/

    Newbie DirecTV question - Sat1 vs Sat2 on TiVo - reception %

    It's tough to say for sure until after its replaced but it sounds like a failing LNB.

    Newbie DirecTV question - Sat1 vs Sat2 on TiVo - reception %

    Do you have dual tuners hooked up or just one line coming in and its the 2 Sat signals that are dropping alternatively?

    Newbie DirecTV question - Sat1 vs Sat2 on TiVo - reception %

    Just went through the same thing today except mine is consistently losing Sat 3 (110) after storm last night. I'm getting 40% and rep said it should be at least 70%. Either dish is misaligned or LNB is failing - someone is coming out tomorrow since they just installed it in Sept. Steps they...

    Just checking..anyone get the $100 MIR yet

    just called on mine - they said 6-8 weeks (sent Mid Sept) so calling back in 2 weeks if nothing shows up. Didn't have any info but said no notes would be put in until the check was mailed.

    directv won't activate receiver b/c overdue?

    Why are you buying your 'wants' when you are having trouble with your 'needs? It's like buying new wheels for your car when you can't afford the maintenance to keep it running (or the gas). 1st - yes - pay the past due amount and your issue will go away. 2nd - please focus on your spending...

    HD LiL for Atlanta set for Nov. 22?

    Thanks - that's what I thought. I just got the HDTivo so I have dual tuners with a pretty good signal on all OTA channels. Last night's rain affected the signal a bit but didn't make anything unwatchable so I think I will stick with what I have until I need a new dish to get other HD channels...

    HD LiL for Atlanta set for Nov. 22?

    Just so that I am sure where I am heading - why would I want D* delivered locals if I already get OTA? Isn't this really good for people who don't get or want to set up the OTA? My assumption is that the OTA signal is better since it is an original vs. what D* will deliver - true? For...

    Major R15 issue

    What made you dump the UTV for the R15? I have 2 upgraded UTVs and weighed the cost of 9.95 a month to be much cheaper than buying new and switching to R15. UTVs are giving no problem so just checking why you did the switch. Did you just decide to dump or find a better deal on the R15? I...

    D* uses every trick in the book...

    Exactly - you don't want to sign up for 1 more year - already paid for your existing dish, take it and set it up. D* won't charge you and you don't have to commit.

    D* uses every trick in the book...

    Beyond the installers, they are also giving you a free dish at your new location + the cabling. Pretty good deal as I just did it...

    R15 units rolling out now

    Actually, the software sounds a lot like the UTV - one button sets up recordings or season passes, able to resolve conflicts, system manages tuners. Even some of the screen shots, although using DTV graphics seem to come from UTV structure.

    New H20/MPEG-4/LIL Directv Upgrade Info

    I think we may be getting MPEG4 soon here in Atlanta but wondering if it will be any better. I am currently get my locals OTA and DTV has given me the NY feeds (not sure why but not arguing with them when they turned them on last month with my HDTivo install). I know MPEG4 will enable more...

    MPEG4 HD DVR and Home Media Center news:

    Anyone know the schedule for reruns? I was moving and missed Season 9 from Ex Deaus Machina on. Pretty much missed all of SCI FI Friday in Sept as I was living in a hotel until our house was finished and looking for when they will rerun (inc Atlantis and BG)
