    Switching to Direct but keeping basic......

    Ok, let me clarify all of this..... For years now, I've been subscribed to Comcast. In 2004, I got the HD-DVR when I got my HDTV. That HDTV has plain analog tuner and it also has a Digital/Astc/QAM tuner. Occasionally I will tinker around with the digital tuner on my HDTV. I plug my cable...

    Switching to Direct but keeping basic......

    I'm just basically wanting to know if the signal is the same. Is it exactly the same whether you get channel 1-13 or HD DVR or high speed internet?? Is it the same and the equipment converts it to what you need or do the techs actually change the signal when you change a service?? I hope I can...

    So you get just channels 1-13 and it still allows you to get the QAM channels via the built in TV Tuner??

    Switching to Direct but keeping basic......

I will NOT get my locals in hd via DIRECT. Actually it doesn't look like I will anytime soon either!!:mad: I have always been...

    My satellite story..... I need reassurance!!

    This time last year, I decided we were paying too much for cable. So, I started looking at some satellite packages. After looking, I decided to go with Dish Network because I would be able to get the HD-DVR free. I call them, set up the install, make my order, and I'm ready. Or at least that is...

    What should I do?

    Hey everyone! I just signed up with Direct. The first question I asked was if we get our locals in HD where I live (North Alabama) Huntsville stations. The lady says yes. I already knew that (I'm pretty sure) we don't. Although that is a big deal, I went on to get my package ordered and it's a...

    Has anyone ever heard of this??

    Exactly. I gave the other guy that said I could get a signal the same exact information that DISH approved before they came out to do the install. I'm 99.9% positive that credit is not the problem. I'm just having a really hard time figuring this thing out. I've sent an email to...

    Has anyone ever heard of this??

    Hi, I've posted here a couple of times before and it was mostly talking about my problems getting service. It's more of the same. Here's my problem. First, I ordered Dish through the internet on their website. I got all of it lined up and the appointment made and all and was excited about it...

    Hi, I am new to receiving OTA HD signals and I have bought an antenna and set it up in my back yard. I have not mounted it or anything yet and gotten great results just putting it in my daughter's backyard little tikes plaything. Anyway, the stations I'm trying to receive are about 65 miles away...
