    HD Spotbeam size?

    The actual location I would be moving to is only 70 miles (as the crow flies) from present location, just across the SC border. I was thinking it probably would given the relative proximity but i will try and find somewhere I can hook a receiver to and try it. Thanks for the info guys.

    HD Spotbeam size?

    I'll have to ask around and see if anyone I know in the area has the 5 LNB dish, just hoping there might be some info somewhere before I move.

    HD Spotbeam size?

    Where can I find information on the size of the HD local spotbeams? I live in the Atlanta area and I am considering moving to the Greenville, SC area. Would i still be able to receive the Atlanta locals if I did not change my address with D*?

    DIRECTV Getting Sued over HD Lite

    I do believe that McDonald's lost that lawsuit for several million dollars. If I was the plaintif I would take a couple million and let the defendant call it a win any day.

    DIRECTV Getting Sued over HD Lite

    New DirecTV Commercial Well maybe this guys lawyer should use some of D's commercials against them. I just saw one that claimed their HD programs were broadcast in 1080i. HA that has to be a complete misleading of the customer.

    AT9 5LNB issues in ATL

    I have had this problem intermittently, but changing the channel and then changing back seems to resolve it. I have not complained to D* about it because I was under the impression this was a know issue with the MPEG4 locals.

    Horrible Mpeg-4 Upgrade Experience in Atlanta (Long-Sorry!)

    They finally showed up exactly at 12:00 and did their best to get out of doing the install. They finally did a roof mount, but have to come back later to install the support arms they did not have with them when they arrived. Their supervisor was supposed to bring the supports arms to them but...

    They have canceled mine 3 times so far and I have it rescheduled for next Thursday 8-12. So far I have gotten a free upgade + $120 instant credit + $20 credit per month for 6 months and free HDTV package for 6 months. If they don't show next Thursday I will own D* (LOL).

    D* told me today that Ron's TV was the only authorized installer for the Atlanta area. I doubt that is true but thought I would pass it on.

    HD LiL for Atlanta set for Nov. 22?

    Has anyone gotten any info from D* about scheduling upgrades? It would appear from D's announcement after the recent satellite launch that Nov. 22 apears to be right or at least close. I would love to be one of the first to sign up :).

    HD LiL for Atlanta set for Nov. 22?

    I am having trouble with my H-10 receiverso I called D* and they said they could send out a replacement. I asked about the proposed swap out for the Atlanta area and the CSR advised the date he had was mid-December. For what it's worth.
