Good grief, I even have two extras, and we're now 6 weeks past the launch (I would have called by now if I wasn't getting the channels), not to mention the fact that I have told them at least 8 times that I have them.... so why do the CSR's keep asking me if I have them every time I call, and then rub salt in the wound by saying they will "note my account" so I don't get asked again?

....but do u hav bbc's ??

If they note the account, I'd bet they run their script first then look at the notes.
To be realistic: We know they don't note the account for this info. They like testing our patience! (Note: this was only meant as humor and not against anyone at D*)

The question is, what are BBC's and why do I want them?

 

[HDhysteria]

it's like when you ask the phone solicator for the tenth time to take your name off the call list,,, and sure enough, the next day you get another call.

So how many BBC's do you have?

Getting the BBC in HD would be pretty cool...

lol,,,ok,,,, who found the bag of mushrooms?

I still don't get why DirecTV forgot to put them in the receivers. I would have been cheaper!

They aren't needed if you have a SWM (single-wire multiswitch). I suspect that the SWM won't function correctly if you have a BBC installed.

No mushrooms here. BBC is British Broadcasting Corp. And I saw an announcement yesterday that BBC America HD is starting up in 2008.

The mushrooms were eaten by somebody at D* who decided to name a piece of hardware BBC.

That's funny, because I called and asked them for BBC's. Then, I found mine, and had forgotten about asking them for them until now.

Maybe they sent you mine!

Exactly. The next piece might be NPR.

The B-Band Converters were in the box with the receiver (HR20-100) when I had it installed 10/4. Sorry, I had to spell it out for those that may visit and wonder why BBC is required to receive HD.
