I won't miss WHDH or WLVI. NBC programming is garbage in my book. All WLVI shows is Maury. I know DirecTV will cave in at some point, but I wish they wouldn't.

AHC - aka the American Heroes Channel should be called the Adolf Hitler Channel. That's what 99% of the programming is about.

Out in the Boston market

My tax in Massachusetts is 38 cents, that must be on the $6 receiver fee. But, we also get a DIRECTV Massachusetts DBS Gross Revenue Tax which in my case is $4.20. The cable companies squawked a few years ago that they had to pay taxes that satellite didn't. This was the result. I only have...

Been with DirecTV since '98. Moved (really - movers connection) a few times, the install for that was handled quickly. In general I have no complaints. Hardware and service issues have been almost non-existent. I've had a few boxes upgraded and an LNB fail once. That was fixed the next day...

Mine gets warm but not that hot.

Right now I pay for it. There are no discounts on the DirecTV service that I can see, just the $5 off of Verizon. I'll give them a call, it can't hurt - I hope!

Yes, Verizon handles the billing now.

Does DirecTV still offer the $10 off for "autopay?" I'm out of contract and even though it's only a small savings it will add up. I'm bundled with Verizon for DSL/phone. According to them I get $5 off my phone plan for being bundled. I figure I can unbundle, go on the autopay, and save...

The first receiver charge is waived. You only pay for the additional.

Thanks for the information guys. I guess I'll see about upgrading the H20. The things a monster anyways. I'm using Servio as well. I'm using an old R51 Thinkpad, 1.6mhz, 750mb ram, with a 250gb drive running XP as the server. At my house I have a Panasonic Viera TV and it plays very nicely...

My parents have two non-DVR receivers, an H20-100 and and H21, yup from around 2007 and 2008. The H21 is on the network and can access a DLNA server without any problem via ethernet. The H20 has no ethernet port. It's also a non-SWM setup. Can I use a CCK to get the H20 on the network OR...

The cable companies have done a good job of providing a lot of misinformation. I've had DirecTV since about '97. I can count, on one hand, the number of times in the past 2 years that I've lost service. Even then, it's usually for a short time (extremely heavy rains) and I can usually switch...

I have nothing to say because it isn't within DirecTV's ability to fix. A-la-carte would be great but it will never happen.

Fortunately it's not A&E but the Biography Channel. I don't watch Bio now anyways. Amazing Wedding Cakes? Give me a break. I do watch A&E. Looking forward to the new season of Bates Motel with Vera Farmiga.

What are the IP addresses of your TV and the DirecTV box? Are they both set to obtain automatically via DHCP? If they are the same you will have problems.

I'm a bit surprised that SD mirroring isn't working for some of you. My receiver is an H24. I can watch tv via HDMI and record the same program on a VCR connected to the video out. The only problem I have is that if I try to pull up the guide I get a message saying that I need to change...

I'm using it on my H24. If the server is down, or MS MediaPlayer has a problem, it won't show on your receiver.

My H24 will autotune. I use it all the time.

I've also noticed it on ESPN. I didn't mind it though. Their announcers talk WAY to much for me anyways.

As far as I'm concerned Viacom can disappear completely. SpikeTV was about the only thing I'd watch sometimes, Trucks. I actually think we should be able to do a la carte on all channels.

Glad to know it worked. Thanks!

How about an alternative, keep your satellite hookup as is. Plug the coax from your OTA antenna into your TV. Connect the Optical audio out on the TV, yes it has one, to your AV receiver (if you have it) or use an RCA cable for the audio, the TV has these too. You'd have to turn on the AV...

Actually, I hope it doesn't end soon - except for the Super Bowl. Another station in Boston reports that Sunbeam wants $500,000 a month more in retransmission fees for about 200,000 viewers. If DirecTV caves in, Comcast, Verizon, Time Warner, Cox, all are next.

I just got it overnight on my H24, in MA. Release was 0x57b at 3:45a. It's fast. I like the menu and other changes too. When I hit "guide" for the first time this morning it came up with a screen telling me that "My new guide is here."
