    Satellite Dish UPGRAGE Question

    I see. So my best guess is that the tech wasn't familiar with it so he thought it would be easier to bring the slimline dish in to insure a good install. I have no problem with that. Just wish I could watch HD stuff now. Thanks!

    Satellite Dish UPGRAGE Question

    A Little Background History A little over a year ago I purchased the HR20 HD-DVR. The tech, at the time, moved my DirecTV (D*) TiVo DVR to the master living room and installed my HR20 in the den. He said my current dish was fine for HD viewing but stated that in the future, I would need a...

    Do my local affiliates broadcast in HD?

    I went to Radio Shack and I bought an outdoor antenna. I had always had a pole attached to the house with no antenna. It was a 160" long, 57 element antenna which retailed for $99.99. When I connected it directly to the TV, it worked like a champ. Picked up all the HD channels. But when I...

    H20 Remote Control REALLY Stinks

    I thought the same way when I went from the Tivo D* receiver to the H20. I eventually got used to it, because I had no choice (other than get a universal remote). Give it some time and you will learn to live with it. It's bad. But not THAT bad. BTW - What's wrong with monkeys? :-)

    360 messenger kit

    It would be great if it could also be used to browse the internet with this puppy. I know I can connect it to the PC but I would like to be able to sit in my recliner with this thing and browse on my big screen.

    direct rep just said yes

    I just got off the phone with Pizza Hut. They said I'd get a pizza at my door very soon. When I asked for a time, they said "Soon". I can't wait. Oh yeah. They want money for it. :-(

    Do my local affiliates broadcast in HD?

    The Next Step I'll probably start with an indoor antenna to see what kind of reception I get and work my way up from there (if necessary). It's funny, because I've had this setup for about a year now and blindly accepted the fact that I couldn't get local (ABC, NBC, CBS) broadcasts in HD...

    Do my local affiliates broadcast in HD?

    Response from KRIS-TV Engineer Well, I emailed every station with the same letter asking if they broadcast in HD. So far only KRIS-TV (NBC) has responded (quite quickly). Here is exactly what he said, "We are broadcasting in HD on physical channel 13. It will show up on you HDTV as...

    Do my local affiliates broadcast in HD?

    HD Broadcasting for Corpus Christi I have just sent an email to all the local stations asking if they broadcast in HD. I will keep everyone informed. Thanks for the suggestion. It's always best to get it straight from the station. :rolleyes:

    Do my local affiliates broadcast in HD?

    Question about HD broadcasts. I live about 35 miles away (Kingsville, TX) from the city that broadcasts local channels (Corpus Christi, TX). I have an HR20 HD receiver. I called D* and asked them about my desire for local HD. They suggested that I use an antenna to pick up local HD...
