    Native on or Off

    What of sports programming? Much of it is sent in 720p vs 1080i to make a smoother and (visually) clearer picture. If you end up converting 720p to 1080i and sending that to the set (which presumably could display a progressive pic in the first place, either 720p or 1080p), aren't you making a...

    How to "move"?

    Hey folks! Noted down the signal levels. It was raining a bit so the levels are a bit lower than normal. I also have lower signals on tuner 2 vs tuner 1 so these are tuner 1 signals only. I've also not spent a lot of time tweaking the signal on the dish since the levels seemed pretty good...

    That's fine with me (I even offered it up to entice them to give me the equipment for free). I have no intention of shutting off my service. I've been a good customer for over 10 years and I see no reason why DTV won't be my satellite provider for many more years.

    How to "move"?

    Hey folks, Thank you for the good tips! Even though I'm on paperless billing, doesn't DTV send at least one invoice to the service address (to basically confirm that it's real)? At both of the previous addresses I'd used, a bill or two was sent after the address change (and I'd been on...

    How to "move"?

    When I hooked up for the SD locals, I had permission to use an address. I don't know anyone in the Plattsburg area (or Syracuse, etc) though. How do others "move" to an area when you don't know anyone there? I will get the transponder signal strengths later this evening, but if there's no map...

    How to "move"?

    Hey folks, So, I'm in an area where I can receive SD locals but not the HD locals. Okay, so I'm in Ottawa, Canada and receive Baltimore SD locals. The HD locals are dark (almost all zeros on the (s) transponders) and give me the 771 messages. I'd love to "move" to a market with a HD spot...

    Have to Give up D* Service

    Mgmt approval - was that in writing? I had mgmt approval once to cut down some trees that were dropping sap onto my car. I said I'd remove and replant them. After I cut 'em down, he took me to court, lied and won (the bastard!) Anyway, moral is, always get it in writing. Even if the upper...

    DirecTV Loyalty Progam

    Totally agree! I just got a free hr22 (had to buy it initially but was given credits to cover it off), plus the rest of the Nascar 08 package plus the HD Extra promo (3mo free). Yeah, getting the bone every now and then (which really doesn't sound very good when read back...) is good for...
