Hey everyone,
Hope all is well. I will be getting a handsome commission check within the next week and am looking into upgrading my DirecTV to HD. HOWEVER, I'm wondering if it's worth it yet.
I plan on getting the HD DVR they offer on their website and upgrading to the "Plus HD DVR" plan. My dad has the HD service, but I noticed black bars on the left and right side of the TV. Is this a standard with SD content, or can this be fixed? (my dad isn't the most tech savvy individual as I am). I ask because my wife watches Oxygen and my daughter likes watching Noggin and those Disney channels, and those aren't in HD. If I upgrade and my wife sees those black bars, she'll scream up a storm and say how she hates it.
Everything that i dig is in HD, from USA to local channels to the movie channels. And it seems like DirecTV is shelling out HD channels like crazy lately.
I just want to get HD before all the new seasons of Heroes and House start up. Thanks everyone, all words of wisdom are appreciate. Thanks again!
Stefan.
