NBC is horrible. HD to Sd back and forth, audio drop outs, etc. I have seen this on OTA, Comcast and D*. This has happened for years in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale market. I always thought it was my market, but now I see it is more than my area. With all of their issues, I really hate that they...

What about the NFL Network?

Sometimes I crack up reading the negativity. . . Ford or Chevy, Honda or Toyota, chocolate or vanilla, Republican or Democrat? CHOICES!!! We all have choices. I prefer Sunday Ticket and local HD to FoodHD, A&E HD, etc. That is my choice, and it works for me. We could argue this forever, and...

One box I bought through Value Electronics and got it this Friday The first I but on www.bestbuy.com, for store pick-up last Saturday. It is in BB's ad this week, but few stores have them. Tuesday and Thursday are shipment days at BB, but if you order through www.valueelectronics. com, you...

I am not upset about it as I will be watching NFL all day. I just started a thread to inform others, which was merged here, and was curious how it was decided. Since I will be watching Da Bears, and many other teams play today, I will be living with it just fine. :D Go Cowboys!

I had the install done by a D* installer. he told me he was a subcontractor of Mastac. I may be in the minority group on this, but I always pay the installers extra cash which ensures a great job. As much as I enjoy watching TV, NFL ST, and spent on HR20's, I think it is a worthy investment. I...

I checked all transponders on all satellites and my lowest was 89. All others where in high 90's. I did a brand new install and took the old satellite down. I had the dish mounted higher on the house, and cut tree branches, thus the vast signal improvement. On the old dish I had everything in...

HDNET Off Until 6:30PM EST For NFL ST Heads up! HDNET was turned off last night in preparation for NFL Sunday Ticket. The Guide reads, "HD NET will return at 6:30pm EST". I am going to assume that Mark Cuban will not be too happy about this.

More Updates and Thoughts on My HR20's So far the biggest issue for me, and many others, has been MPEG-4 locals. Many users are keeping the HR10's, or SD Tivo's, connected to ensure that they do not miss a recording. MPEG-4's thus far are very unpredictable. For example, I recorded the same...

SD never Looked Better I have (2) Hr20's up and running. I have had one for a week now, and teh other just came in yesterday. I agree SD never looked better. I did learn a few tricks to get a better picture for those of you that have it hooked up to HD TV's. In the display screen, I left...

5 LNB Finally Installed Today I have had the HR-20 up and running since Sunday, and I am really enjoying it. I too am in the South Florida area, but had a really good installer. It was probably one of the best jobs ever done on my house. I went the custom install way and pulled all of the old...

I should have done that, but I guess since I have Comcast currently for my HD, the thought never crossed my mind. I did all the running around because of the HR20's and the start of the NFL season. I hope these guys know what they are doing, as I have heard many horror stories in the area...

I have two Tivo SD's, and I am expecting my second HR20 on Friday. I was an early adopter for Tivo, but I have to admit I really like this box. Even my Tivo buddies that refused to use the DTV DVR's, were impressed when we hung out on football Sunday. The majority of them have placed orders for...

I just checked and will have my second box coming form VE on Friday as well. As I am impatient and did not have DTV HD, I did buy one on Sunday in order to enjoy NFL ST in HD. I paid a premium at Best Buy, as there prices do not compare to that of Value Electronics. I bought a Logitech/Harmony...

Today I set up the HR20 on my Slingbox, and it works well. The only thing that came up was that there was no HR20 in the device selection setup screens. I ended up using the DirecTV R15 and it worked out well. All of the buttons including, "Active" and colored buttons work well. You actually get...

I was surprised to see this was not on D*. Is there space to add it if they are turning off channels for Sunday Ticket?

No HDMI Cable Included with HR20 I bought the box this weekend, and just wanted to confirm for you that no cable is included. I had an old one, and need to buy another cable and will use the sites posted. Thanks! BTW, I too plan on doing the PS3/Blu Ray route. I decided to hold off and pay...

As I mentioned, I don't trust the information I get over the phone. I think you have a good point. Perhaps, this is why the CSR mentioned the upcoming price reduction on HD Tivo's. That would make sense.

I just called D* tonight to see what they would offer to retain me as a customer (my contract was up in January). They made me a decent offer, but no promises regarding equipment upgrades. They told me that the HDDirectv DVR's would be rolled out this summer, and said I should hold off on any...
