  1. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    SA (Scientific Atlanta) 8300HD DVR that probably 70%+ of cable companies use. The only way to know which work and which don't is for someone to try it and report. I understand what you are saying about pennies, but let's remember that the entire sector (hard drive) has seen such cost cutting...

    Then perhaps you should pay better attention to look for the trends - just as you refuse to acknowledge where you got the Rain-X solution and have yet to provide any evidence to the contrary that backs up the claim.

    No one else had a problem understanding the difference - that FULL BANDWIDTH doesn't mean PARTIAL BANDWIDTH. And once again: http://www.dbstalk.com/showpost.php?p=1058630&postcount=36 It appears that one small word throws YOU OFF - not me.

    That's Scripps-Howard and they just converted Tampa and Cincy - they got the go ahead right before the NAB in April and went shopping. Although Cincy is their Corporate Headquarters, I suspect that you saw a 16:9 480 line field operation as the S/H stations are not supposed to start receiving...

    Cleveland - both start with C so easy to get confused :D

    Your kids and 18,000,000 making it the most viewed cable event of all time.
  7. DIRECTV General Discussion
    and i will say again that when you read the threads for several years (you joined less than 60 days ago) you will see a recurring theme that the incidents of problems with installs goes up proportionally with the number of items on the install. It's all about looking for trends and commonality...

    Please tell me after all the arguing for 2 weeks you are atleast a little brighter than this. There is NO STANDARD BITRATE from the Content Providers. I said FULL BITRATE....meaining, if HDNET sends out 17.57Mbps Video on HDNET Movies, you get 17.57Mbps Video on HDNET Movies @ 1920x1080. If...

    Except the eSATA connectors in the Free Agent are know to have problems with certain eSATA chips and controllers (including those in the SA8300HD for example). And one can figure out that they left the cable out to try and cut costs for competitive reasons.

    As usual, you missed the point. The point was the paperwork was not right from Directv. Doesn't matter which department it originated in. And the fact is, even though Directv wins some regions in Customer Service, the truth of the matter is that the scores in THIS CATEGORY are just slightly...

    Given your comments and location, I have to assume you are most likely talking about the Raleigh DMA. The Raleigh Spotbeam has issues - especially to the North (roughly 10 or so miles north of I-40 and the imaginary line if you take I-40 East of Durham and West (again, roughly 15-501 on the...

    You obviously haven't read my posts:rolleyes:
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I am speaking from first hand experience with roughly 10 installs over the last 12 months - in markets as varied from NY City to Beverly Hills to Texas and points in between - so I think I've seen a very wide sample first hand. As stated, it doesn't matter which D* Department the order...
  14. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    He's one of those that think because he has a 46" screen that it must be perfect:rolleyes: Interesting that there are many large screens that cannot even do 1920x1080 - much less calibrated properly - and god forbid he has a fast enough screen to even see reality.

    As you are a new member I will be polite and just say, go back and re-read my posts as your assumptions are incorrect.
  16. General DISH™ Discussion
    E* and D* going with HD-LITE has proven to the content providers (and cable companies for that matter) they do not have to worry about PQ - and as thus convinced them they can lower their standards. FIOS is the only one concerned with PQ at this time.

    tag, your it.
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Sorry, too many idiots have been spamming me and filling the mailbox - and others are messaging me wanting information on signals without being jumped by the Moonies in a threade. Combine that with Mods telling me how many infractions I have collected this week - it's filling up faster than I...

    Yes, I understand everything you are saying in terms of layout - and probably would have done better to map it out myself earlier this afternoon to think about it. I suppose another way to look at it would be if the BBC was on the WB68 input, you could only get Ka/A or Ka/B from that feed to...
  20. ViP612/622/722/722K DVR Support Forum
    What happens when an External USB Drive looses its information (and has for years now) is that the O/S sees it as unpartitioned and unformated - all information is gone. It's not just as if the drive is formated and the files are gone. Now, if the VIP622 formats an unformatted drive when it...
