Can you actually get Bell Expressvu in the US? I didn't know that... I would've taken them over DirecTV for the last three years! Hockey-wise anyways... mechman

I just kept at it. I told them people were getting them for free from them and that's what I wanted. When they wouldn't cave I asked for customer retention. The first lady I talked to there was kind of rude and wouldn't budge so I hung up and called again. Did it all over again, but this...

Your story is similar to mine except for the ending. I ended up getting it for free. mechman

If you get the spotbeam for any of those RSN's you would get the game in HD... on a H20 or an HR20 receiver with an AT9 dish. Any game that is on ch. 95 you would get. If you get the HD package you would get the Thurs and Sat HDNet games as well. With HDNet and ch 95 you get 3-5 a week...

My only worry about the upcoming season is how many games will be in HD. I recently called customer retention to inquire about this seeing as Dish had uplinked 7 NHL HD channels earlier this month. I was told that "any game that is made available to us in HD will be broadcast in HD". How far...

GB, You're way too kind! mechman

That would be SATA, Jim. Meaning Serial ATA, or a way to hookup an external hard drive. :) When enabled by D* of course... mechman

I've got a HR10-250 and 2 R15s. The Tivo is a dog compared to the R15s. Takes way too long to look through the guide, setup recordings, etc. However, the OTA works beautifully! :up Still can't believe people have trouble with it when I'm 30 miles away with an attic antenna and I'm in the...

Have you actually checked different transponders on 119? Some are zero and some are 96+% on mine. mechman

Charper, That's a mighty big IF... Like IF they had a wife/girlfriend... My money's on that they've never had a woman before...:eek: mechman

You really have to stop mumbling! mechman

Charpers advice is sound as always. If it helps, I'm 28 miles from my antennas, with a cm4228 mounted in the attic I pull in mid 90s on all stations with an hr10 -250 receiver. Obviously all my channels are UHF. mechman

Boy.... Sure seems like there's a few more beta testers than Earl. What, with all the firsthand knowledge of what a POS this new receiver is without ever having used it. Oh I see, glass is half empty isn't it? I sure wish I could be that enlightened by counting pixels on a...

Depends upon where you put it. I intentionally overdid it because it's mounted in the rafters of the garage and has to get a signal thru a wall. I did a little research and heard a few problems with garage attic mounts, so I adjusted accordingly. mechman

I am 30 miles from the antenna farm. Channelmaster 4228 mounted in the attic of the garage. Signal is 95+. I'm having zero issues at this time. mechman

If it helps, when I hooked up my H10-250 the OTA signal was and still is excellent. Mid to upper 90s on all channels. Have nothing else to compare this to. mechman

Sounds like a plan!! :) mechman

Did mine a week ago and had zero issues. I have a meter though and I'm in the mid 90s. mechman

Yep. It's a POS. mechman

Locally, in Minnesota, OLN is outdrawing the NBA, according to the Pioneer Press and Nielsen. That's without our team in the playoffs. Of course we are practically Canada... http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/sports/columnists/charley_walters/14574585.htm Sixth item down...

Charper1 has posted a link to the USA page earlier. From the ratings I've seen NHL would be last on the networks... and that's where I'd expect them to be. I would surmise in Canada there pulling quite a bit higher. mechman

Comcast and OLN (Versus - is that dumb or what?) are the same. OLN probably has an agreement with CBC to show games that they cannot. Just 'quoting him'. And agreeing with him. They needed a network that wouldn't bump them for little league world series. He kept saying they needed a...

I hear ya. :cool: A couple weeks ago I was on a long drive and Gary Bettman was on Sirius. He stated that even if ESPN offered them more money for the rights, they wouldn't have taken it. They were looking for exclusive coverage and I think they got it. As for OLN, it needs alot of...

I should clarify, I'm only categorizing NBC and the playoffs. And I realized all that you've stated, but we're talking about Saturday and Sunday afternoons here. Watching an ice sport when it's sunny and 70 degrres just isn't appealing to most folks. A 1 should be about par for the course...

Good for you!! :) :) :up I love it up there. About the only area more pretty in Minnesota is the Arrowhead. Most everyone up there puts there dish near the lakeshore. It's the only place to escape the trees. We sit on the east side of a bay and mounted it on the north end of the roof...
