    Bangor, ME will lose 2 locals Midnight

    Any new info on this matter? I live in Holden but there is a hill between my house and Bangor. I have tried to get a waiver before and was denied because "I live close enough" but because of the hill I have not been able to get their signal OTA even with a large outside antenna mounted on...

    Does anyone know if Nascar Hotpass will be back?

    To this day, it don't seem right to not see him on the track anymore. Just can't seem to get used to it.

    Does anyone know if Nascar Hotpass will be back?

    I believe that statement would be incorrect. Are you saying that approx less than 100,000 people (that attemdance number is higher at some tracks and lower at others) are all that watch the race on TV across the entire country? It seems that NASCAR would be in huge trouble if that were true...

    Does anyone know if Nascar Hotpass will be back?

    and SPEED. Don't forget that Speed airs the Gatorade Duels in February from Daytona and they air the All Star Race In May from Charolotte Motor Speeday (formally Lowes Motor Speedway-but I believe Lowes let their sponsorship lapse at the end of the last year)

    Does anyone know if Nascar Hotpass will be back?

    Well two years ago you had to pay for it and each channel had two dedicated announcers but my understanding is that it did not make enough money to continue it so last year we still got it, but it was watered down, if you will, quite a bit. The announcers were gone, it went from 5 channels to...

    Does anyone know if Nascar Hotpass will be back?

    With the Budshootout at Daytona in just over two weeks, I had hoped that we would have learned what the status of Nascar Hotpass was going to be this year. Is it going to happen and if so in what shape or form? I'd did a search in the forums for it but did not find any helpful info. Can...

    Updated DirecTV HD Locals Launch Schedule: November->March (And PBS Launches)

    Hey, be happy for us. There's not much up here (except snow and mud most of the year & mosquitos in the few days of summer that we do get) so at least let us have the option of a few more HD channels. ;)

    DirecTV HR2x Mass Lockups overnight 10/6

    Problem started at my house???? I started having problems LAST THURSDAY where if I shut off my receiver for any length of time it would not respond when I would go to turn it back on (I had to hit the red reset button and after it rebooted it would work fine). We also had a pretty severe...

    DTV Bangor, Maine locals

    You stated that the local CBS has not been turned on "yet." So should I assume that you are aware that CBS is coming?

    DTV Bangor, Maine locals

    I have or had waivers for the national Fox and ABC in HD. Will I lose those now? I would hate to have to back to SD. I am disappointed that the DTV is only offering the locals in SD not in HD. Howcome?

    best deal for Christmas?

    I know that he wants upgrade but he has not been able to afford the upfront costs. He currently has the premiere package so once the initial costs are paid it should not be any issue. I guess I will go ahead and call D* and see what the say. I can't imagine that I'd be the first person to...

    best deal for Christmas?

    Maybe I should clarify. What would be the most inexpensive route to go in order to upgrade my dad's equipment for Christmas. Should I call D* directly or is there another way? Any constructive feedback would be welcome.

    What we are hearing...

    I remember when a lot of people were begging for just one HD channel to be added only a few short weeks ago. Now today we are complaining (feeling depressed) that they only added four channels. :cool: Scott, if I remember correctly, I thought HGTV and FX were going to be added today as...

    Test Channel: 9301 Channel not Purchased ext. 721

    Until they actually "flip the switch" and see what we got, I would not panic. Since we are not privy to what exactly they are doing or testing, it could be any number of reasons. I say "enjoy the one test channel that's working for you and let's see what unfolds over the next few days."

    An Update

    BTW, any idea if they have "found" the bug in the software that caused the problem? If they have then at least we would know if they had moved on to step "two" which I guess would be writting/correcting the code.
