    My Network Television

    Interesting...Here in the Rochester market we get 2 CW feeds, one comes through from Baltimore (Comes in as 14 iirc) and also one in the 380s. We do have a local CW but its a subchannel of the local ABC channel. I was hoping they would do the same for My Network TV but I guess not :(

    DirecTV HR2x Mass Lockups overnight 10/6

    I'll add to the "Me too's". HR21-100 locked this AM. Pulled the power once, no luck. Let it sit for 20min unplugged, came back up. Hope it doesn't go out again, I'm not home till late tonight and have a lot of stuff set to record!

    HD DVR Receiver doesn't recognize 5lnb satellite dish. HELP?

    You're going to probably want to get some help with this. Trying to aim a 5 lnb dish with no meter or at least experience is a shot in the dark.

    What to do with old dish/LNB

    Its great for serving lots of salsa :D You could try selling it on craigslist or ebay, shipping it would be a pain probably though.

    DIRECTV and TiVo to Launch New HD DIRECTV DVR with TiVo Service

    Wow, after reading around a bit about this it seems that people are really excited! I know I'll be first in line to get one. I started with a 14hour Tivo and have loved them ever since. Even did some beta testing for them back in the day!

    OMG OMG!!!! I don't think I've been this excited about any satellite news in a long time (which I realize is fairly sad :D )

    Minus 2 LNB's

    Its ok, he didn't remove them, there is just space on it for 2 others but they are not used. The middle LNB gets 3 satellites I think.

    Installer refuses to peak dish

    You're kidding, right? Any customer should verify the work they are having done is right and if it isn't, ask that it be corrected. If the installer can't deal with that, perhaps he has made a bad career choice!

    DirecTV to add 44 HD local markets (Updated with Launch Schedule)

    Sweet :D I have this strange feeling the replacement box we are getting is going to be an HR21 so I guess I don't have to get the OTA module if we'll be lit up in Aug!!

    Dead HR20-100?

    Tragedy narrowly averted :) Did one more download of the national release and it seems to be working now.

    Dead HR20-100?

    Was discussing this in the CE forum but I no longer think its a CE issue as I am back on the national release and I figured more people might see it here. Box boots up fine, gets to 100% on the acquiring info from satellite screen and either just goes gray or stays on the Directv splash screen...
