Dottie = do it yourself lol (damn iPhone spell check)

You can Dottie yourself. I just did. I have a GIGE capable router and cat 6 drops all over the house. These term into my directv receivers and other Internet ready devices. The hard part is getting them to activate the whole home DVR. I had to email tech support and ask for "unsupported whole...

FYI all of Direct tv source content (Local channels) are pulled out of the air in the local DMA using off air antenna. The national content is most likely MPEG2/4 already or perhaps even H.264 but I would be surprized if any of it is over 20 - 30Mb/s and is most likely transported over GIGe or...

Modern video compression schemes are very complex because there are numerous variables that interact and influence the overall performance. I’ll try to keep the following to the point. Remember that each set of processes has a sweet spot. After MPEG-2 became well accepted, it was noticed that...

Yes Fios is a nice setup. I just wish Verizon would not have sold most of the local footprint they owned and abandoned those customers to a lifetime of Plain old Telephone and slow DSL.

That was only done in the past to protect the network. Since the old systems were very electromechanical equipment that did not follow specs could damage the old "Step by Step" switches. Very expensive. While I agree more could have been done to harbor competition look at how great it is now...

And even those companies are not totally free of the "Bell System". Most of the VOIP and cable companies buy wavelength services from AT&T for longdistance phone and internet traffic. In my opinino the government should put AT&T totally back together again including western and regulate them...

AT&T NYNEX Errr AT&T Bell Atlantic ERRRR… Verizon is nothing but a holding company now. They do not have the resources to negotiate such a purchase let along the political capital to get it done. If anyone is going to buy DirecTV it will be AT&T. Lets face the facts AT&T built all this crap and...

I thought so also. But I had it on both the Youngstown Ohio affiliate and the Cleveland Affiliate. My off air picks up both. So this was either my antenna or it was an NBC issue.

Did anyone else have audio and video jitter issues durring the steelers game Thursday night? Or was it my off air receiver from Directtv?

Well im sure glad to see they stopped the NR before it went GA. It's hard to catch every bug on anything but it's nice to see they caught it and stopped it before it went out. For some companies it is hard to swallow that kind of a pill and admit you had issues. Others would have released it...

They were most likely talking about the microwave tower on top of Mount Wilson. We "AT&T" and just about every broadcast company has microwave repeaters up on that hill. Last count I got was 22 TV stations and 25 FM radio stations. All techs have been removed from those facilities for safety...

Do you have anyway to force the update? I need this remote to work faster. My wife is on me like crazy since we just moved from Dish network... Also before we had 1 HD-DVR for 2 TV's. Now I have a HD-DVR for 1 TV and an HD receiver on the other TV. Does Direct TV have anyway to share DVR shows...

Agreed. I just wanted to make sure I would recieve the NFL ticket stuff once it went live. Since I have no way to assure myself that works until said time. I had that problem with Dish Network. When I signed up I was a week away from ordering HD and they assured me my setup would not need...

please excuse the typing errors. I'm typing from my iPhone

I had direct installed today. I have a huge dish bit it only has 1 eye with what looks like 3 lnd "eyes" on or. System says I get 3 birds. The installer had to run 2 additional coaxial lines from the dish which confused me since I had dish network from the same physical location with no issues...

I just got installed today and got the HR23-700 I have the off air mod on order will let you know. The installer said it will work he has done it however only once.

So slightly off topic! I notice that the HR-20 comes with an OTA tuner built in. Can you also record from this like you can on the Dish network VIP 622/722? If so I think this was one of my last road blocks stopping me from moving to Direct TV!

I agree! If you are renting I would make sure the complex did not okay this arrangement. If my renters had a dish mounted at one of my complexes I would ask that anyone that can use that one dish. Several dishes make for an eyesore. Personally I think your being an idiot for not allowing this...

I would assume the appartment is fed off of the same power source. "power co" So ground loop should not be an issue.

Cleveland DMA. What dish should I get from DIRECT? for Dish I have single dishes so that I can fine tune each one.

I am about to get direct TV. What satellites does DTV point? With Dish I have 4 61..5/110/119/129 I plan to get the prime package that includes all channels + HD. No international though.

My wife and I tape maybe 4 or 5 shows a week. with 3 kids we never know if we are going to be down at the big screen or on the first floor with the kids. so having the dvr available on both is a huge plus.

I was wondering if it was possible to somehow use the Direct tv hd DVR on both an HDTV and SDTV like I do with the 822 I have with Dish. I am moving over to Direct Feb 1 when AT&T picks up the new partner. If it is not possible via normal specs would it be possible to at least watch DVR shows...

In a bid to close the wide gap in value between its Liberty Entertainment tracking stock and the holdings it tracks, Liberty Media will spin out of the majority of the assets into a new, asset-backed stock. The move is intended to make Liberty Entertainment – which tracks a 52 percent stake in...
