I live in a condo building serviced by MDU Communications. They have a 3 LNB dish on the roof and they service the entire building with DirecTV. Apparently, DirecTV has yet to offer any MDU operator the proper technology that will allow MDUs to use a 5 LNB dish and offer MPEG4 programming. That...

As I recall, didn't NBC have the same problems during Notre Dame football last year? If so, it's not a good sign that they've made no progress since last fall. Let's hope they straighten things out before the start of the regular season.

Thanks, everybody, for the info. I just got off the phone with retention and got an HD Tivo for free (+ about $20 shipping) with a 2-year commitment. Like someone else mentioned, the 2-year commitment doesn't mean much to me since as long as DirecTV has the NFL Sunday Ticket exclusively, I...

WGN HD available via DirecTV LiL? You mentioned channel 9. Is that now available in HD via DirecTV? Their web site still only lists 2, 5, 7 & 32.

That may be true in a lot of markets. The frustrating thing for me (living in Chicago), is that any time someone has asked Comcast SportsNet Chicago why their HD feed is not available on D*, they have said that it is because D* isn't making it available. Three times I've e-mailed or called...

I couldn't agree more. RSNs in HD should be right up there with the Big Four networks when it comes to offering HD-LIL. To me, they're even more important than the OTA locals, but it looks like we're going to have to wait a long time before D* will add these RSNs in HD. Your point about how...

I took the offer, too, but scheduled the install for a Saturday so I won't have to miss work. However, I plan on installing the receiver myself when I get it, then calling to activate the receiver and cancel my installation appointment. It's ridiculous that they make you schedule the appointment.

I have a pretty good understanding of how most blackouts work, but I don't see how one has anything to do with the other. Can you explain your logic or why you believe this? Thanks.

Can anyone with Sports Pack answer this question? When an RSN like one of the regional Comcast networks picks up a Big Ten basketball game from ESPN Plus (or ESPN Regional Television), is it blacked out outside of the RSN's market? There are a couple of Big Ten games in February on CSN West...

My HR10-250 setup has worked flawlessly for a year now. I have an OTA antenna on the roof next to the dish. The OTA signal comes down into my living room in one cable that carries both satellite and OTA via diplexing. I have other cables that carry the satellite signal exclusively and feed...

I agree 100% I don't understand why DirecTV isn't doing everything they can to launch local RSN's HD feeds when they launch HD Locals. Especially since DirecTV has always positioned themselves as the service for serious sports fans.
