    DirecTV DVR as receiver only

    An update. I went online and cancelled the DVR service. The only thing that I can't do is record - everything else, including dual tuners, guide data, etc still functions.

    DirecTV DVR as receiver only

    I presently have DirecTV solely for my summer home in VT., and use a Sony SAT-T60. If I cancel my DVR service can I still use the SAT-T60 as a receiver only? What features other than recording will I lose?

    DirecTV / XM Rumor

    I just signed up for the 3 day free trial on XM online - the 40 channel is what your looking for. Is identical to the Big Band channel on D*, including many of the same songs. So far the DJ announcements have been very limited.

    Got a card in the mail today from D*

    Is this card going to only those who receive DNS and DO NOT subscribe to local channels which are available on DirecTV?

    SHVERA

    Try as hard as I can to find an answer, I still am not sure about my position. I presently receive Grade A signals from BOTH the Boston & Providence channels. In October 2004, when I asked for, I received the CBS and NBC channels (NY & LA). Because Boston has an O&O CBS channel I only pay for...

    HD Broadcast update

    From what I have read on the other forums, it will be most likely be 2 years before the HD channels (other than locals) will be changed to the MPEG4 format. Since I presently receive all OTA HD channels from Boston & Providence DMAs, I will continue to enjoy the benefits of recording both...

    Bravohd===universalhd Schedule

    I'm not having any problem with signal strength on any of thr 3 transponders (8, 10, 12) on the 110 satellite which are always lower for me than the other two satellites, but still in the mid 80s. Universal HD is on TP 12.

    110 Satellite Signal Strength

    Does the D* 110 satellite operate at lower power compared to 101 and 119? I ask this because I receive signal strengths in the mid to upper 90s on 101 and 119 and in the lower 60s on 110.

    My experience with ValueElectronics

    I ordered my HD TiVo from Robert - it was a long wait, but worth it - he responded to all my emails, called me directly, and furnished me an extra t-shirt to show that he realized I had waited a long time. My son, on my recommendation, ordered a HD receiver, the LST-4200A this past Monday -...

    HDNet has PG info for Test Channel

    I don't know what their doing at D* but something is going on. Yesterday they had a problem with channels 80 and 81, and it took numerous calls to get that corrected (a previous thread shows what was happening). The CSR kept saying it was my problem, then after being transferred to a 3rd tier...

    CH 80 and 83

    I had the same lack of knowledge with the first CSR I spoke to. After over an hour I just got off the phone with the 3rd tech rep. He had me go to 83 and where it says press select for ordering information he had me press select and it brought up a PPV movie to order (Passions). He said they are...

    Channel 99

    Only the test channel in RI too. I'm using the HD10-250 and when I try punching in the 99-1 it goes to "99-1 antenna" like it would with an OTA station
