:eureka Jimbo, Thanks for the feedback. As you pointed out, since Cablevision has so few HD channels I was comparing the older MPEG-2 encoding :eek: (ESPN, HBO, HDNET, etc). A majority of the newer HD channels look as good as Cablevision when the broadcast is in HD. I also did not...

Yes, I re-adjusted the settings on 3 separate HD TV’s and also switched between HDMI and Component. Don't get me wrong I'm very happy with Direct TV but felt that the PQ from Cablevision was slightly better. I’m happy that I switched and my TV viewing is 10 times more enjoyable…….

Jimbo, I'm using HDMI and have the latest HD boxes from Direct TV which should be MPEG4. Since I've had the system for about a week, I have come to the conclusion that the HD PQ from Cablevision is slightly better (richer color) than Direct TV. My initial assessment did not take into...

I called Direct TV at least 15 times to confrim my AAA order. Each time I called I the CS rep was not able to fully confirm my order. One said I had it the other didn't see it etc. I finally spoke with a supervisor who was going to handle this and promised to call me back within the next few...

I have 3 Direct TV HD boxes and they are all set at 1080I. I re-checked all the wires including the signal strength and all is good. Don't get me wrong, the Direct TV HD channel looks good compared to SD but I do not get the HD WOW factor. In my opinion the HD PQ from Cablevision is 10 times...

I was not happy with the HD lineup that Cablevision provided and decided to switch to Direct TV. Here's a list of my first impressions: 1. Install was smooth. 2. I signed up with the AAA offer (free showtime for 1 yr, 10 credit for 24 mothns etc) but was not set up correcltly on my...

I used the Monster Adapter ($25) and have no issues.

I also had Voom had encountered the same problems as you. I switched to Directv HD and I am very satisfied with them. The HD content is less but without all the headaches you get from Voom.

Thanks slacker9876 !

When I flip from an HD channel to an SD channel I can a fuzzy picture once in a while? The fuzzy picture will show up on all SD channel's and the only way to get rid of the fuzzy picture is to go to an HD channel. I'm using the DVI port and this started to happen when I hooked up an OTA...

I had Voom but cancelled because I was having a lot of problems with the Motorola boxes and reception. In fact, Voom had to replace my box three times. There's no doubt that Voom has more HD content but if your having service problems then whats the point? I know have D* HD and I love it...

Thanks for eveyone's feedback...I went with the Harmony SST-659. I placed the order from Abes of Maine for $120 (shipping included).

Any suggestions on a universal remote that works with Hughes HTLHD? I have a Sony universal remote (RM-V402) but when I put in the CODE for Hughes it does not work. Any suggestions?

I installed a DIPLEXER in order to receive sat and Digital OTA on one line. Here's my question? Do I need another DIPLEXER to split the line to the Hughes HTL-HD receiver (SAT & OTA)? Can I use a regular splitter to do this? Please advise. Thanks

I just installed the HTL-HD box and I'm having the following problems: 1. I can't remove the off air channels which appear when I change the channels (they do not appear in the direct TV program menu). I went into the Hughes set up menu and hid the off air channels 2. There is no bar menu...

Based on the feedback I will try to get the Hughes HTL-HD box. I'm a new subscriber and it will cost me $299 for the box. Does anyone know if there are better deals out there? PS--I used to have Voom but could not stand the day to day problems I was having with the box. I hope my...

I'm interested in signing up for the D* HD promotion which is $299. Does anyone one know which HD box will be provided? Any recommendations? My apologies if this has been previously posted.
