    D12 satellite - now we're receiving signals!

    A new 30 days extension for more testing at 76 degrees was filed. Doesn't look good.

    New HD tip offs?

    If thoses are actually the upcoming HD channels, I'm in no hurry at all. I don't watch any of them and they just look like "cheap stuff", maybe with the exception of ESPNU. I couldn't care less if that's true. I want AMC, Travel and all the premiums in HD.

    More National HD Channels… ?

    I bet the "cheap" channels will come first, like QVC and others that probably will pay Directv or be at least free. What I want is "quality" instead of "quantity" : Travel,AMC,all the HBOs,Encore,IFC,Sundance. Based on the last HD channels added, I'm not very optimistic . Directv's priority is...

    Which channels you like to see added on DirecTV one day?

    Why were those the only channels selected for the poll ? Some sort of Directv test to see what do we think about the channels that have already been selected ? Those channels are pretty bad and with low public interest, maybe with the exception of ESPNU. Where is Travel HD ? AMC HD,IFC...

    When are the new HD channels launching?

    I hope they don't add any channel now. Picture quality is clearly getting worse recently. The new bird will allow many new channels without sacrificing quality. 2nd quarter 2010 is when I expect new channels.

    How is the HD Directv image quality in US?

    I don't think so. If they are starving for transponder space (just speculation here) they will probably squeeze more channels than we do in US. When I was living in Europe I always thought the picture quality was much better there than here, specially in SD. The reason is clear: They don't have...

    How is the HD Directv image quality in US?

    I will try to answer the original question from our Brazilian fellow member: The quality of the HD is all about how compressed is the signal and what codec is used. Directv was using MPEG2 few years ago and over compressing the signal. Quality was not even close to Bluray. We now use MPEG4...

    Recording Directv to a pc

    Copy Protection For legal reasons, capture devices from Blackmagic Design are designed not to capture, convert or transmit video or audio from copy-protected sources, e.g. video devices using HDCP. Sounds useless to me.

    Hr-22 and Windows Media Center

    I can't see any reason whatsoever why the OP doesn't want to use Directv2pc. It works pretty well and is very user friendly. If he can use Windows Media Player, why not use Directv2pc ?

    Did the Scoreguide Disable Your Yellow Button Menu

    It's working on my 2nd HR22-100 but this thing is buggy. I had to press the red key several times on ch 603 and it's not working on ch 245 . On my 3rd HD-DVR it's not working at all.

    Did the Scoreguide Disable Your Yellow Button Menu

    I have 3 HR22-100. One has the red and yellow keys working fine. The 2 others don't have the red key working (no scoreboard). Do I need to do anything ?

    DirecTV Revolution Report

    Just to clarify my original question, there IS a SWM but not inside my unit or exclusive to my unit. The MDU MFH2 system works with SWM. There is no band converters and only one coax cable feeds the 2 tuners on the HD DVR receiver. All I have inside my unit is 4-way splitter and one coax cable...

    DirecTV Revolution Report

    I live in a MDU building , MFH2 system. With all this talking about MRV over coax, I wonder how can it be done in a condo where SWMs are shared. As far as I know, all I have inside my unit is a SWS-4 splitter that somehow is connected to a SWM somewhere in the building . We only have 1 dish...

    TiVo-powered high-def DVR?

    And they look great, according to the CE members. In my opinion TiVo just missed the boat. 2010 is a long time and the HRxx is getting better and better. As soon as the NR comes and we can all have DLB and MRV less and less people will be talking about TiVo.

    TiVo-powered high-def DVR?

    I have a Tivo S3 with local channels only and 3 HR22-100. Only thing I miss from the Tivo is the dual buffer and the MRV. Both DVRs are very slow and sometimes the Tivo can be even slower. I like the HR22 interface and some features like the blue key and transparent menus. I never used some Tivo...

    Thinking about going back to D*. PQ any better?

    Agree. Had D* 4 years ago and changed to cable because picture was getting unwatchable, even on HD. Came back last month and I think the picture on HD is now very good. SD sucks but if you have D* you watch very few SD channels. Give me 5 or 8 more movie channels in HD and Travel and I will be a...
