    Sound Dropouts?

    This "known" audio problem has been an issue for at least 2 years now or longer and D* still hasn't made a fix yet. It was an issue with E* too, but they were able to resolve the audio glitch. Maybe the engineers at D* should talk to the engineers at E*.

    And this is referred to as...cutting edge performance?

    DIRECTV 3D

    I have seen several 3D movies in IMAX and enjoyed them tremendously; however, I wouldn't waste my time or money to watch 3D movies on a television. I won't buy a new 3D tv or spend 150 plus dollars for 3D glasses (if you have a family of 4, that's about 600 bucks). I don't want to sit in my...

    Townhouse Install Following By-Laws

    Will the HOA climb up and actually measure your dish? I don't think you should have a problem.

    What were missing

    Many of those channels show little or no HD programming. D* can wait as far as I am concerned. But, I would like more of the premiums added.

    when are we getting more premium channels / HD premium channels?

    You obviously have a different satellite service than I have. I'm sure the Obama administration will have more important issues to deal with than satellite programming.

    MTV finally shows HD Content

    Since when is an upconvert HD? In my book, it isn't.

    RC64R question

    My remote operates my Yamaha receiver. The procedure to program the remote is in the instruction guide. I can't remember how to do it but you can.

    Trying to decide if I'm being rational

    As this economy gets worse, and, my perception is, it will, you will begin to see more and more people looking at their budgets and cutting costs where necessary. The OP has a valid point and shouldn't be criticized. He is absolutely right when he says that there are multiple channels with the...

    Obama Buy's Sat time on Directv

    Will D* spread the wealth and give us a programming discount if we watch it?

    Cartoon Network West ch 297 Oct 8th

    Maybe if providers like D*, E* and cable stood up to programmers by not allowing them to force carriage of crap channels, they might rethink their positions especially if they didn't have a conduit to show their programs. Let the crap channels fail. I think that if viewers had more of a say...

    Let down of DirecTV - front page sat guys

    Yeah, I really can't wait for D* to add more placeholder channels like MTVHD, VH1HD, NIKHD (to name a few) that doesn't show any HD programming. (oops, I stand corrected...MTVHD had the VMAs in HD, once). I can wait.

    MTVHD is showing HD Prgramming!!!

    Even though the show was in HD, it wasn't worth watching. It was garbage that is skewed to a younger audience. I thought it was inappropriate for Brand to go on and on about politics. His British babbling didn't seem to work well with a lot of people in the audience. I hope that, the little...

    Tivo or HR21xxx?

    I recently switched to D* and have the HR21. All I can say is...E*'s HDDVR is functionally better, less buggy and a lot cheaper. I can't wait to see what's available in 24 months.

    Locals and Nationals

    Because they are stupid and archaic in their thinking. The bottom line is, what they think is best for the network, not the viewer.

    MPEG2 HD to move to MPEG4 Thursday 7/31

    That's an understatement...TNT is crappola whether it be MPEG2 or MPEG4. I can't wait to see all the screen clutter more clearly. :)

    SWM Availability

    I just had D* installed and specifically requested an WB68 switch. The installer used a SW4 switch and gave me an SW8 switch for when I add additional receivers. For every bad install comments I read on this and other sites I was very skeptical but, I have to say, the kid that installed my...

    Coaxial Question rg-6 or rg-6Quad?

    RG6 Coax for D* 5LNB Slimline I currently have E* and the rg6 coax that was run is 18awg CCS rated at 2.4 GHz. I will be switching to D* at the end of the month and will be getting the new 5 LNB slimline dish. Can I use the existing cable runs or do I need to replace it with new 3.0 GHz coax...

    HR21 Confusion

    I am considering switching to D*. I have a land line in my house but was going to cancel telephone service and use my cell phone. I have a cable internet connection. I am considering getting 4 HDDVRs and was told by a local satellite dealer in town that the HDDVR would "not work" unless...
