    Make sure the signal is flat across the entire system. Think of an audio equalizer.

    He needs a line tech to balance the active....which is why he can't do it.

    RE: "Recording Space Low" Message

    I'd try the unplug reset first before deleting everything. However, I seem to remember that once it gets close to full....it is very agressive that you must delete something - although it did let you delete it - at least with the SARA Software even years ago.

    Local HD problems

    As his signal is going to 0 on his QAM, that isnt the station at low power. He stated the TW techs said the wire was bad - they need to replace it as it appears as its shorting out (now that could be because of the bad weather).

    Bond Hd Ppv

    The HD PPVs are essentially the same limited selection that E* has - unlike D*. So the answer would be no as MGM has never been part of that deal.

    Call your BrightHouse rep about getting the NFL Network

    I can spot 5 Directv AT-9 Dishes within the 25 houses around mine. However, I seldom to never see them in other countless miles of roads and other neighborhoods. So, I would be very mistaken to believe that 20% of the people in the BHN footprint have D* HD-LIL. One neighborhood isn't a...

    Call your BrightHouse rep about getting the NFL Network

    In all due respect, 6 people in a neighborhood in Melbourne is a higher percentage than what is seen in the home turf of South Florida that care about the Marlin or Panthers - so you can be assured that percentage is no where near the norm for the entire BHN footprint. To begin with BHN, is...

    Does TW Use DVB-C or Another Type Of Digital Decoder?

    As stated above they broadcast using QAM. They typically use Scientific Atlanta Digital Decoder boxes which use the Scientific Atlanta PowerView System for Encryption of the QAM channels. In a few markets where they have purchased the system which was a Motorola based system, they have...

    Digital Box Only Software Upgrades!

    The upgrade on the Digital STBs is starting in Pinellas. The problem discovered over the weekend was they used the original package as their base and the Free To Air HD Channels added since then (608, 632 and 624) were added Free to Air. The new software did not accept them as valid so they...

    Digital Box Only Software Upgrades!

    Unauthorizes a number of the OTA HDTV channels. Sound like a show stopper - especially during the February Sweeps?

    I thought that was what the Orlando group that started this thread were talking about. Tampabay only has SARA.

    Digital Box Only Software Upgrades!

    I discovered a flaw that I would consider a show stopper. They are going to work on it on Monday, but I cannot see them pushing this out Tuesday unless this bug gets solved Monday.

    Digital Box Only Software Upgrades!

    Pinellas, Pasco, Manatee gets update on Tuesday. If no serious problems (like what happened in Orlando apparently), Hillsborough, Polk etc get the update 1 week later.

    SA3250HD updated as well. Took very long time though. Rebooted successfully and is working. SARA is now 1.6.0.1801 date code 11/16/06

    Digital Box Only Software Upgrades!

    UPDDATE.....all SA and Pace boxes will get updated. I was pushed out SARA 1.89.17.1 date code 12/18/2006 in the last hour. Good news is it booted and I did not loose any recorded shows. I am about to start experimenting with it to see new features and see if IEEE 1394 to DVHS really works...

    Digital Box Only Software Upgrades!

    Ok, the anticipated new code for the SA8300HD will push out on Tuesday (at least on the Pinellas/Pasco/Manatee side) - First real update really since the boxes rolled out in Tampa Bay. Again, the only reason they are REALLY doing it is because of the new DST. Good news, this should enable...

    Is there enough Bandwidth to add espn2 HD, Starz HD, etc.?

    I didn't say I live in Beverly Hills, which btw, the number of smog alert days is virtually nil compared to 20 years ago.....I live in Tampa Bay. Correct, I'd rather have spent 45 minutes in a BHN location then wasting close to 10 hours on the phone and waiting 30+ days for a real install to...

    Is there enough Bandwidth to add espn2 HD, Starz HD, etc.?

    I have spent over 9 hours on the phone with Directv over the last 30 days trying to get an install in LA and trying to see what they are doing because my Appointment 2/08 was missed as they called mid-day that Thursday to say they have no more HD Equipment and will not receive a shipment until...

    Is there enough Bandwidth to add espn2 HD, Starz HD, etc.?

    Thanks for jumping in with the crackhead, though I doubt he will believe anyone. Regardless, the Macroblocking I am talking of is massive tiling and pixelation on HD Channels - the lagging and stumbling happen on scene changes, leading me to believe they are remodulating using very few I...

    Is there enough Bandwidth to add espn2 HD, Starz HD, etc.?

    I'll be happy to accept your $1000. Time Warner has deals with channels such as CinemaxHD and has it in certain areas. Your 1/8 utilization is ridiculous. They are expanding out from 750mhz up to the mid 800s - but that is the only way to open more room out. The delivery system is...

    Interesting that the bird would say BHN Orlando @ the end of May as it was singing a different tune less than 30 days ago.

    Mtv Hd

    Appears a number of the music videos from 3am - 9am are upconverts. I see a ton of macroblocking at times, but as those are mostly live concerts with lights and strobes, I can't say if its bandwidth related or not. Most of the programming is not in 5.1 and quite frankly I think it will be...

    Most Basic Cable

    There is no way anyone is going to sell you basic cable with a Digital HD-DVR. You will need digital service for that. Basic is pure analog designed to be used with no STB and a filter (usually starting at Channel 14 but 26 in your location).
