    New Directv DVR

    Can you explain more about this Oct 13th date? Is SWM supposed to be a standard part of installs after Oct 13th? Will that be only on new installs, or upgrades as well? If I already have the new dish, and want to add a DVR to a room that only has 1 line to it, will a SWM be installed for...

    Why can't they change the number of games in GameMix when less are on?

    Complete reprogramming? That sounds a little extreme. I'm not asking for much. I think out of the 17 weeks this year, there are about 12 of them where there are 4 or less late games scheduled. On those weeks, have the screen show 4 games instead of 8.

    Why can't they change the number of games in GameMix when less are on?

    Grrrrrrr.... My same complaint as last year. If there are only 4 late games scheduled, why can't DirecTV change the game mix channel to only show 4 games once all of the early games are done! This way, we could have a much larger picture of each! Does the MLB game mix channel do this at all?

    Directv iPhone Application First Look

    Thanks for the help with the Ipod touch software update guys. It did work just like you said. One thing I did notice though is that although it will let you record a single episode on Dtivos, it would not let me set up a series recording. It said that "Series Recording is not supported with...

    Directv iPhone Application First Look

    Good review. Thanks for doing this for everyone. It's just a minor nit pick, but I think these things need go through one more editing layer for spelling and grammer issues. There are quite a few issues in there. Again, this is minor, the content is what matters most. I was unable to...

    MPEG2 HD to move to MPEG4 Thursday 7/31

    So, does this mean that the requirement that used to be in place where you had to be able to see 110 and 119 to get HD installed will now be over? A friend of mine ran into this and as a result of it switched to cable about a month ago.

    The DIRECTV HD Starship Puts the HD in High-Def with the World's Largest LED Screen

    Did they show it on the telecast last night? I will echo Questioner's sentiment that the thing is butt-ugly in the picture posted.

    70+ HD Channels in Engineering Mode

    I love the idea that the HD channels will have the same numbers as the SD channels (I think). But I guess once you have so many HD channels, will that just clutter the guide up with too many duplicates?

    Any word on Spanish language package price increases?

    Has anyone heard any word on price increases and channel changes for the Spanish language packages? I currently have one of the spanish packages because it saves me money over the regular packages. Thanks.

    Swanni's HDTV Predictions: A Report Card

    I'm not a Swanni basher like many, but this was a little much. As others said, not much in the way of real predictions. I love this one: "But Rear-Projection HDTV Prices Will Drop Under $500 I wrote: "For instance, a RCA 52-inch HDTV-ready set is available now in some stores for $899, but...

    5 LNB Dish Installation

    DDHawk, sorry, I don't know the answer to your question, but do you have your dish on your house or on a pole? Mine is on a pole, and I am wondering if when they come out to install a new one whether they will be able to use the same pole. I know the pole size is bigger for the new dish, but...

    Tribune-owned locals launching? Post your live ones here...

    Hancox, I imagine that this has no bearing on us being able to get WTNH-DT (ABC)? Any news on that?

    Has ANYONE's DMA had HD Local channels added that weren't there on launch?

    If it was really a negotiations thing, I would expect to see some stations in some markets being added. I'm just wondering if D* just wants to get markets up, and once they are up they don't care whether all the channels get added.

    Has ANYONE's DMA had HD Local channels added that weren't there on launch?

    Here in CT it's been months and we still have only two locals in HD. Has anyone in another market had any HD locals added in addition to the ones that were there at launch? I'm beginning to think this is all we are going to get!:mad:

    Intel and D* team up on the HR20

    Well, I'd like to listen to my music and look at my photos on my TV. It won't make me go out and buy a new PC, but it would be a nice feature.

    Setup question--Video out to 2nd TV?

    Your main problem is that the HR10-250 does not have a coax out. I imagine there is some kind of adapter that can turn composite out into coax (RG6)?

    Need to run 2 recievers from 1 cable. How?

    That's not what I mean. I am talking about splitting the signal TO two different RECEIVERS. I am thinking it would work as long as you don't change the channels on either receiver.

    Need to run 2 recievers from 1 cable. How?

    Hey guys, this brought up a question for me. I am fully aware that you can't split a sat signal with a splitter. But would it work temporarily, if you didn't need to change the channel on either TV? I'm thinking of something like Sunday ticket where you want to temporarily have multiple TVs...

    NFL Sunday Ticket single team

    I think that might have been for one week. They have never had it for one team. I know last year it was available week to week for $39.99.
