Thanks. Keep the faith rffjim. I live somewhat near you (Maryland) and even though it took a while (Verizon actually had to take the county to court to get them to approve fios tv), from what i've heard, it sounds like it'll be worth it. Plus, getting your house wired for fiber optics for free...

spoken like a true hypocrite considering how you've jumped around based on your signature (hello pot) of 3 moves in the last few years. for the record (not that i should have to justify myself to you), fios tv wasn't even around when i re-upped. i gave dtv a chance and their new hd dvr (from...

Fios is available where i live so better service for the same price. I was unhappy with DTV's failure to really do much with their next gen HD DVR. But mostly it's the better pq with Fios (plus, i don't need sunday ticket)

Hello, After over 2 years I have to leave DTV. I am wondering how to do so without getting billed (ie getting out of my 2 year contract I signed when I got the HD Tivo last year)? I seem to recall discussion about this a while ago. From what I have been told, I have a $300 termination fee...

Jekyl1, I'm actually interested in Dish (pretty frustrated with DTV). I was looking into Dish and liked that option but heard that the only way the 2 TV/1 DVR option works is if they are physically connected via wire (as opposed to wireless or something else). How have you connected two...

Hello, Regrettably, I think I may be nearing the end of my rope with DTV. I am in the middle of a 2 year contract and may be cancelling in the next few months. When I spoke to a CSR today they told me I'd owe the prorated portion of $300 if I break my contract. I believe I read a few...

I've read here sporadically about a Humax/HMC DVR due out next year that supposedly is networked (or something like that). I've tried a keyword search of the site to try to find out more info on this, to no avail. Can anyone tell me more about this DVR? I assume it'll be HD. But how many...

Hello, Here's my situation: I'm looking for an OTA antenna that will go in my basement, next to my TV (this is a temporary solution til DC gets the locals in HD so I'm not paying a contractor to go on the roof or wire something). I'm not far from the signals (about 5 miles/channel), but I have...

Hello, I am in one of the 12 markets (DC) to get the locals this fall. When I was talking to the DTV rep recently, he indicated this would happen automatically (ie the locals would just pop up in HD one day), without the need to install a new dish. I thought I've heard otherwise from the...

Someone mentioned before that subs won't have to pay for HD Locals under the new plan (MPEG 4). Can you clarify this? Does this mean you won't have to pay for the HD package at all and you'll get HD Locals (only for free)? Or, does this mean you'd get the HD Locals included in the HD package...

Thanks for the info above (the distances from the networks). Is there any way I can tweak my system to get the networks better using this info?

Hello, That bowtie antenna kind of looks like that. I live in Bethesda, MD (zip is 20814). I'm interested to see how far Fox is from me as opposed to the others, since Fox is the one really giving me problems. I already tried rabbit ears, but since my TV is in a basement with no windows that...

Thanks for your comments. I looked into it a bit more last night. I have a good signal on all my network channels except Fox. I checked signal strength and it was pretty poor for Fox, but the others were okay. The DTV tech installed the antenna-I don't know the make and model of it. As...

Hello, I've been reading this site for a while and I'm incredibly impressed with all your knowledge. Hence, I'm turning to you to help me solve a problem which of course DirecTV cust svc was of no help with. I recently had the HD Tivo installed with an OTA antenna put on my roof for the...
