    old tv

    If it has composite inputs, yes, it will. Composite would be the Red/White for audio and the Yellow for video.

    Spot Beams

    In Tucson, I get 90+ on 7 TPs. 3 are for Phoenix, 2 are for Tucson, 1 for El Paso, and I haven't figured out the last one. Strange that El Paso booms in here, yet Albequrque has 0 strength.

    Just switched from Uverse to DTV.

    Although the speed of the HR24 is a bit better than the older receivers, the user interface is exactly the same. I wouldn't be too upset with a re-furb if I got a good deal on installation.

    DIRECTV Launches $30 Premier PPV Service Thursday

    Most hotel rooms don't offer an HD experience with home theater sound. It's a completely different experience and expectation. Must also wait to see the content before assuming it is the same service.

    YES Network Being Dropped? (Agreement reached 4/7)

    I too hope it goes dark. Everyone wants more money...maybe it's time the Yankees reel in their spending and quit coming to the average Joe for more.

    DirecTV Remote is Awful

    I was with Dish for 5 years. When I switched to DirecTV, it took a while to adjust. Now, when I visit a house with a Dish remote, my brain freezes constantly. It's more of what you are used to than anything else. The only button I dislike for location is the "Active" button. I would be...

    Direct TV pays the NFL even if season is cancelled

    The article states they only get a partial refund and that 43% is non-refundable. So, they pay a billion dollars and get $670mm back. That really sounds like a poor negotiation point to me.

    AT&T Wireless and DirecTV bundle?

    I don't believe it is AT&T Wireless. I think it is just for those with land lines.

    HR20 thru HR23 Software Release v.0452/0456 12/1/10

    Yes. Very far behind. DirecTV has no intentions of adding Netflix to their DVR so that it can cannibolize it's PPV and Premiums. The benefit for YouTube will be for them to utilize that platform to have trailers for their movies.

    The Bob Checkin thread

    Honestly Bob, you're going to get bored really quick! I had Dish for over 6 years before going to DirecTV in 2005. With Dish, it felt like I needed to have a little bit of tech skills to make everything work right. I needed switches here, an extra dish there. The boxes needed resetting. If...

    Please Share Your Setup for DVR Expansion

    Walmart is selling the internal Seagate 7200 RPM 1 TB drive for $80. Took about 15 minutes to swap it out. No extra wires, noise or boxes to deal with and the drive comes with a 5 year warranty.

    Comcast Philadelphia and Channel 4 San Diego

    I'd bet good money that it shows up on DirecTV and Dish will claim it would be too costly to its subs to add the channel.

    Big News: DirecTV 12 to take DirecTV 10 load for spotbeam fix attempt

    Since I see signals on 103 (ca) and 103 (cb), I guess we can assume D10 is back online?

    Free previews April 2010 (MLB 5th-11th / GameLounge 2nd-4th)

    Which ones do you not consider great? :p

    Illogical Oakland A's Blackouts!?

    If you went by that logic, then cable and Dish Network would both carry them across all of the MLB territory. There are rings of service available for a price. As a provider of services, Dish/DirecTV/Cable can decide how many rings of service they wish to provide. In the case of the Giants...

    MLB Extra Innings - Best Time to Sign Up?

    I'm really curious to hear from ROKU fans. I never heard a side by side comparison in an HD setting. I'm thinking of going MLB.TV instead of EI as well. The MLB app on the iPhone also gives you streaming video, if you are a Premium customer. Still a bit undecided.

    MLB Extra Innings - Best Time to Sign Up?

    As long as you order before the free preview is over, you will get "Early-Bird" pricing. It is usually the first week of the season.

    Illogical Oakland A's Blackouts!?

    You are only going to find yourself endlessly frustrated as you try to resolve this issue. The fact of the matter is...MLB dictates the boundries. DirecTV would have to pay a higher price to allow the A's to be broadcast in Oregon. They choose not to pay more to Comcast for that right so you...

    XM Channels now gone :(

    1) Didn't know there was a "news" audio station :p 2) How do they do the audio news without talking? :p The changeover is terrible. Between the poor execution of audio, and the playlists not coming close to what used to be, I am very unhappy. I just can't believe DirecTV put out a bulletin...

    Service Agreement Help

    I've never heard of a 36 month contract. Usually, if your actions require a commitment it either starts a new clock or runs concurrent with your existing agreement. Whichever method lasts the longest will be the method used. It is disappointing that DirecTV charges $199 to lease a DVR, then...
