I may be wrong, didn't Dish allow for attrition to take care of most of the non MPEG2 receivers, so that Dish bore minimul costs in switch to H.264? I don't seem to remember a cost to subscribers for that shift. H.264 has been around several years and surely Direct has been dealing with a...

I get DIY HD (Uverse). My channel pick isn't on the list (3NET). I picked IFC as second choice. AMC would be 3. I also get Fox Movie HD and TCM HD.:D

What model of receiver do you have? If it's HiDef, set the resolution to 1080i. The TV will set the signal to the best that it is capable. The 480 cutoff for component is for products manufactured afte 12,31 and all products, late. I don't have Direct, anymore. When I had it the VOD was...

I'm sorry, haven't been on Direct since June. All of our sports programming has been HD, since I've been on Uverse.:D

Have you checked ESPN2 HD to see if it isn't available on that channel, in your area?:D

I'm old and wrong. Looked up ST and it launched just a few months after DirecTv in 1994.:D

DirecTv launched in June of 1994 at a store down south called Cowboy Maloneys. It spread over the next year cross country. In Topeka we had availability September 1994. I was building a new house, so I purchesd receiver fo 599 and a receiver with dual LNB dish for 799in January 1995. Self...

Topeka, Kansas. Check "the Cable and fiber optic" forum under Time Warner/Uverse comparison, my thread. There is a lot more beside that, but I think the lack of threads on the Uverse thread is proof that Good News=no news.:D

I'm no longer a Direct subscriber (Uverse). AS this is a positive thread about Direct, I won't air any dirty laundry. I stopped my service 5 months early. I called and asked if there were any fees other than the $100 (5months X$20) plus pay per views and taxes. They said no and I sent a...

The other channel, ABC, is also 720p

2 HR22s and 5LNB SWM. No hiccups.:D

You're probably very close. January one this year penetration of HDTV in this country was 46%. May 1 it climbed to 65%. It should be over 70%, today.:D

Thanks guys. Its been a long time since the mid ninety's and DBS forums. Is that right, metro? Weren't you 19 once? Directv didn't pay $200 of the $240 programming credits. At this point there is no win back offer that would be enough. There wasn't with Dish after 11+ years and they...

If my 2 year commitment is up November 20 and I terminate July 20 are my penalty costs $80+PPV not paid for? Are there any additional costs?:D

Heading back in the direction of the thread. I was on vacation last week. I noticed that HallmarkHD was getting a 721 error mesage and I could'nt find the other channels. I called in and a nice southern lady corrected that channel. I told her, that I understood there were more new HD...

This is how and when I first heard the soon only not yet story from a Sony rep. In the late 80s I was working for a national electronics/appliance chain. A women came to our store and said that the Rockefellers owned Sony. I asked her where she had heard that from. She said "Didn't you know...

That is how my receiver is set. ONLY locals are in the worst stretchovision I've seen.

As summer is here and I get locals off satellite in wonderous stretchovision, DiWreckTv should be allowed time to fix 10. How about 2 days?:D

So it does have a reverse.:D

Is there a reverse or at least a "Whoa Jesse" on this bird?:D

What is the proposed location for this bird?:D

I misread the question. Old eyes and feeble brain. I thought there was a "job" in there somewhere.:D

So much for the twelth of never. DirecTvs new promo starts 5-13. Any coincidence?:D

Two weeks 4 weeks gone (wasn't that a chant or was it 2 bits 4bits 6 bits?...). The Twelfth of never is looking more promising.:D

And here's Johnny!!!!! "ask how much I need you, must I explain? I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain. You ask how long I'll love you; I'll tell you true: Until the twelfth of never, I'll still be loving you. Hold me close, never let me go. Hold me close, melt my heart like...
