PBS HD has been active for a few days now for those of us served by the Birmingham, AL DMA. Channel 10 (WBIQ) is now HD.

I had Hallmark Movie Channel when I was with Dish Network up until 4/2008. I watched maybe one movie on the channel. All the stuff is so old, I just wasn't interested. I would really like to have Lifetime HD, Travel Channel HD, WGN America HD, ESPNU HD.

Hi, PMKS. I also noticed my H21's were sluggish after the latest software update. Instead of a smooth crawl the guide just jumps all of a sudden. The channel changes are also much slower. I think this update was a setback.

I have noticed that since DirecTV added the "scoreguide" feature my caller id display doesn't work on those channels. It works fine when not tuned to a sports channel that offers scoreguide. Any suggestions?

I had Dish for 6 years before making the switch to DirecTV in April of 2008. I would think at some point that Direct has to fire back with more national HD or start loosing subs to Dish. They can't just be satisfied with the status quo. If Direct doesn't come through, I may consider going back...

I love my Directv. I've been a customer for about a year now (switched from Dish) and I've saved about $400.00. I also have much better signal strength. It's not uncommon for me to experience a thunderstorm with very heavy rain and no signal loss. With Dish, a slight t'storm and no signal. I do...

It will take about 2 or 3 bills before your rebate is applied. You will have to delete the premiums (HBO, etc.) after the 3 months unless you want to pay for them. They won't delete them automatically. Go ahead and keep your free premiums for the 3 months, it's a good deal. It won't cost you...

I am receiving it from WVTM channel 13 in Birmingham, AL (one of my locals). I also have an antenna that I can receive the local stations HD feeds off of and the HD feed off the antenna also has the problem. Must be a local affiliate concern. Thanks.

The movie currently on NBC (8-10PM CST Sunday) has terrible audio, even some buzzing sounds noticeable. The SD feeds audio of the same movie seems fine. Is anyone else hearing this? Thanks.

From my experience I would recommend something no less than 42". I have a 42" Plasma and wished I had one a little larger. It is 720p and has a great picture. I know someone that has a DLP and the picture is awful when watching football at the time of day the stadium has part of the field...

Thanks to both of you guys. I feel so stupid. I have been tinkering with audio equipment for 40 years and I guess I put my hands in gear before I put my brain in gear. My Panasonic vcr had an input button on the remote where you can toggle between line inputs or channel inputs (channel 3 or 4)...

Since I changed to DirecTv and got two H21 HD receivers, I find that I can't record to my vcr because the H21's require a B band converter inline to the receivers. I tried using a splitter but that resulted in no signal. Is there a way to record to my VCR or is a receiver with DVR capability...

Hi Tim, I was a Dish customer for nearly six years and switched to DirecTv in April of '08. I have no regrets and I think you'll be well satisfied. I think the HR20 is silver and the HR21 is black. I think you'll probably get the HR21. I got two H21's when I switched. I have HD but not the...

From what I've read, the H20 is silver and has an OTA tuner built in and the H21 (I have this one) is black with no OTA tuner. Both are HD receivers and are MPEG-4 capable.

I'm a former Dish Network customer (nearly 6 years). Here's a perspective after being a DirecTV customer for 10 days. I love USA HD and all the other HD channels. My signal is much stronger. My area was under a tornado warning recently (Central Alabama) and I only lost the signal for about 10...

I switched to DirecTV from Dish on Sat 4/5. Main reason was HD, 2nd reason was to see Braves games on Peachtree TV on channel 617 (I live in Central Alabama), 3rd reason Friday Night Lights coming to DirecTV in October (New Episodes). Install went flawlessly and only took a couple of hours...

Thanks to anyone who looked at this and was going to try and help me. I finally figured it out. Sorry.

I had DirecTV installed yesterday (4/5) and I can't disable native in the HDTV settings under video. I have a 720p widescreen and have TV type set to 16:9 TV resolutions set to 720p. Should I choose an additional resolution as well?

Just got DirecTV installed today. HD is great. SD is good as well. Had a great install guy. Had me finished in about 2 hours. I just cancelled E* today also after the install went well. By Charlie, Hello DirecTV.

Thanks for the info rad. I'll try that.

I noticed that there is no coax output on the back of the H21 HD receiver. I used this output on an older receiver to feed the video signal to the VCR antenna in coax so I could record OA signals. I only do this once in a while, so I didn't opt for the DVR. Is there any way to do this or am I...

Thanks Edmund, I bouight another newer remote (RCA) and I got everything to work except the guide. It's for my wife and as long as she can change channels and direct access by punching the channel number in she's ok. Thanks for the help.

I just got DirecTV installed today and I'm trying to program a remote (Philips) which I bought at Wal-Mart. None of the codes listed for DirecTV work for the remote and I tried a manual code search with no success. Does anyone know of a remote that works good with an H21 receiver and can be...

I'm a Dish Network defector officially Sat 4/5 (that's my install date). I can't wait for all the extra HD channels. Dish sub since November of 2002 when I dropped Charter Cable (Central Alabama). Charter was so bad with lines, snow and extreme interference. Dish picture quality is fine but I am...

I have upgraded from potential to an install of Sat 4/5 for DirecTV. I have been with Dish Network for nearly 6 years. Charlie better do something or he's gonna loose alot of subscribers.
