I just signed up for and had HD installed with the hr10-250 receiver and can't receive HD CBSW - 81, NBCW 83, & ABCW 87, I do get FOXW HD 89, CBSW - 381, NBCW 383, ABCW 387 and FOXW 389. I called and asked why I couldn't get them if I can't get OTA in the mountains where I live. There answer was I had to get waivers from those networks I tried to explain that I already have waivers and have for at least 4 years. Is there anything or anyone I can call to resolve this issue?
LA national network hd channels?

What is your zip code?
Your waivers were obtained for the analog DNS channels correct? As I understood it a while back, I did not think those waivers covered digital; has there ever been an established process solely for digital waivers?
The short answer is that it is all mandated by law that they accept or decline based on a zip code database provided to them versus the user's service zip code.

There may be a shorter answer.
Ed, you need to tell us:
1) Where do you live?
2) Do you receive local channels as well as distant locals?
3) Do you receive both the LA and NY distant locals?
4) Do you receive the NY HD locals?
Answering these four questions will tell us everything we know, so that we can give you the correct answer.

Zip 93614 has SD and HD LIL service available via DirecTV. Only KMPH-DT - FOX - 26 is offline for now. Have you thought about "changing" all your service addresses to the lake house 93664 to get the HD DNS? MPEG4 HD LIL for your current location will require the AT9 and H20, but as you already know the HD DNS will work with older MPEG2 HD receivers; which I assume you have now.
Zip 93664 has only SD available.

If you order PPV via the remote you will need one, but you can order via the website to achieve the same result along with ALL your receiver on the account will receive that PPV. Ordering PPV via remote without a phone line will hose up the card after so many events. The phone line dials out to charge you for those PPV and then clear them from the card to allow more PPV. Do you have a DVR connected to the phone line?
