Saw that Jimbo, thanks. Guess bandwidth was the issue and I was wrong.

Thanks for the info Ice, I have the SWM setup so I should be good to go...for some reason I thought the genie was available only to new subs, but now that it is available to current subs, maybe I'll upgrade.

I think the MLB package is, and always has been, for live games, and I think MLB requires all recorded or reaired games on the RSNs to be blacked out. I don't think I've ever seen any replayed games in the clear on any of the RSNs except my local one.

Is the genie available now to current subs or still only available to new subs? And what would be involved to switch from two HR24 units to the genie? Would it involve any additional wiring? We are thinking about switching to the genie (when available) and would just like to know the...

Apology accepted and I am sorry for overreacting to your response. I guess it will be a wait and see as to whether bandwidth is the issue. I like the My9 telecasts over the opposing ones but they are not essential. As long as the Yankees are on MLBEI it doesn't really matter. You could very...

I'm sorry, I thought this was a thread about Yankees off the air telecasts not being included in the MLB package...I was merely pointing out tonight's fact and offering an opinion, but since it doesn't match up with your opinion, I guess I'm just being paranoid. When the My 9 feeds start...

It's happening again tonight. The Yankees are on My9 but the My9 feed is not in the MLB Extra Innings package. I am pretty much convinced now that DirecTV does not have the rights to show the My9 feed and this is the way it will be for the foreseeable future.

Is it possible that DirecTV no longer has the rights to show the My 9 feed? The past three seasons they showed the My 9 feeds from the beginning of the season despite all of the NBA and NHL games going on, so bandwidth may not be the issue. Haven't seen much of the Phillies feeds this year either.

What's the point of the update telling you that you are authorized for something you are not? Is D* just trying to get more subs to sign up for the whole home, or is it truly just a mistake on their part?

DirecTV also has a better HD picture when compared to Verizon Fios here in the Boston area. My brother in law has Fios and when I tried to watch a Red Sox game on NESN, there was a lot of pixelation when the camera moved; I almost never see that on D*. Other stations were similar in quality...

Thanks for the info Hutch, maybe I'll consider upgrading soon.

Unbelievable, maybe we should all threaten to drop D* so we can cash in on the savings! I mean free Sunday Ticket? I guess I'm the only one who's been paying full price for Sunday Ticket for the past decade (I know it isn't true but it just seems that way!).

Pardon my naivety, but do you need to string 5 lines from the dish to use the HR34?? Or is there another way the signal gets split??

It's about time! Why a major market like Boston took this long to get PBS in HD while some much lower markets have had it for quite a while is beyond me. Some decisions by D* are quite puzzling, but it is nice to have three PBS stations in HD now.

My HD locals have a slide saying "NO NEED TO CALL" about the outage, but after almost a full day of being out, I am going to call and hopefully D* will have some answers. Funny though, I was over my brother-in-law's house just yesterday and he has Verizon Fios and was complaining how he...

Happening here in the Boston market as well...anyone else affected, and does anyone know why we have lost our HD locals? I've had to watch tonight's FOX baseball game via antenna to get HD...not a big deal but just curious as to what may be going on.

And just how was I to know to call about it two years ago??? Sorry but I don't read this forum religiously like some of you so maybe I missed the "breaking news" about this two years ago. This obviously wasn't fair to everyone and I'm getting sick of D* making some offers available to those...

Maybe I'm just naive, but just how do you do that? I was not aware that I could get free HD. Do I need to call, because I know I am definitely getting charged a fee.

Too bad the rest of us have to pay $10 a month for HD; you know, the subs that have been with D* for 12 years, have subbed to their premier, choice plus, and other top packages, and still get screwed with having to pay for HD, while others who are newer can enjoy the benefits. I love...

I can't believe anyone would switch from satellite to cable under any circumstances, but especially COMCRAP. My in-laws have it here in the Boston area and it is just plain awful, and I'm talking about their wonderful digital tier. Every time my wife and I visit we can't wait to come home to...

I don't think you should have to download new software yourself on Friday or Saturday to fix a problem that D* should...if D* is aware of this it should be fixed NOW if at all possible. Due to the volume of complaints just on this thread I think it is more than obvious that the problem is...

No, it's not just a 4:3 ratio...some broadcasts on WDCW have recently been super small filling up just the very center of the screen. Only the zoom function will restore it back to a normal 4:3 ratio.

One receiver has 80% free and the other 50% so I doubt this is an issue. Also, as a point of reference, this has only been happening somewhat recently, just in the past few months, so I am wondering if a recent software update may be causing the problem. I do know that both my wife and myself...

Anyone else with an HR24 having issues with slowness? Both of my receivers are frequently slow to change channels, pull up the guide, switch between the double play channels, and there are issues with the stopping and starting of recorded programs, and even with the TV apps. Since this is...

It is WDCW and it has a 50 logo superimposed over the DC CW letters. I have also noticed a small picture on some broadcasts and have even used the zoom function on the TV to bring the picture back to "normal". Not sure if the problem is with D* or with WDCW. Both WDCW and WNUV have similar...
